Conditioning the battery? What is this 2009?
Woah. This is...big news.
A lot of apps crash if any change is made. So silly. Nothing is supported in the new OS.
Added music, hit refresh. Nothing happens. I see the music in the phone under "Music" directory but I don't see it.
Apps that I use for Internet Radio are failing to connect. Last time this happened was when there was a major software update. Guess I'll have to wait for all to support KitKat??
Why isn't it recognizing the music?
Over/under on a Verizon-made lookalike? I mean, the made this:
what this could mean is that a Nexus 5 (or variant) could come to Verizon
...branded and 199 on contract
The Nexus 7 LTE supports the Verizon bands. They are just a holes. Once the device past the FCC certification there was no need for VZ to stop people from using it on their network.
Goddam assholes.
Evil in electric form
Yeah I am. Restarted the phone. Moved a few files around. Took some good 15 minutes before it picked up the songs. Hopefully this was a first startup norm.This shouldn't be the case. What apps? (And I assume you're using the official 4.4 ROM on a Nexus 5)
Does SMS on hangouts use data or my celluar network?
Can you post some pics if you have time?
The Ringke fusion hybrid case has a better build quality in my opinion, and is cheaper too.
OK GAF, another info: the dialer function that also search places and people not in your contact list works only if the system language is English US. at least this is what's going on on my phone. Anyone else confirm or has a workaround?
No crashes on ART, but you might run into incompatible apps. Whatsapp is the only major one that doesn't work right now. Dunno about battery life, I guess I'll find out tomorrow.Do the ART works well or it crashes a lot?
Is the battery life really improved with ART?
I want to try it, but I don't know if it really works well...
That's the one I'm rockin at the moment. Ordered a Ringke Slim as well since they were both pretty cheap.
Yes, under display-->Wireless display.Does this phone have Miracast output like the Nexus 4?
Pocket Casts is half the reason I went for Android. The iOS7 version finally rolled in most of the android features but Id already resolved to move on by then.
It looks good, has a lot of festures, and it supports syncing between iOS and Android. Beats the hell out of Apple's fairly pedestrian attempt at a podcast app.
kay, just bought it for 3.99 -- i'm trusting you, animboogy!
So after a little play of the camera on the nexus5 I have a few thoughts.
Let's start off with the bad:
Orientation is f--ked. Doesn't matter what camera setting or app you launched the camera from it doesn't understand if you go landscape or not and thus auto rotate the photo. Really Google?
HDR+ mode ONLY works in the native camera app. What I mean by this is if you are in a app that can use an intent to launch the camera app; say Whatsapp or even Google's (Niantic) Ingress, you cannot select HDR+
Last but not least, the camera app takes an extraordinary long time to launch from the lockscreen widget (launching from app icon/drawer is unaffected).
Happily, all the above problems are software related and can be fixed.
Now on to the good news:
HDR+ is MUCH faster than the previous HDR mode and does the job of merging 3 sets of exposures in a more natural fashion. Less ridiculously over saturated colours and more vivid, true to life crispness.
Speaking of crispness, the Optical Image Stabilization is money well spent. Even at maximum zoom you will find it hard to turn your subject into a blurry mess.
The OIS also keeps noise at bay in low light conditions and thus makes the Nexus5 camera miles better than the Nexus4 .
Let me make one thing clear. Just like whiz bang DSLRs, if you are a shit photographer, you are a shit photographer and no amount of technology will help this.
Battery life was one of our biggest concerns on the Nexus 4, which featured a 2,100mAh power cell, and so we were especially worried about how the Nexus 5 would fare given its relatively small 2,300mAh battery. And what about the increased strain on battery due to the phone's 1080p display and high-end chipset? That was worrisome, too. We're happy to report, however, that there is indeed an improvement, though the runtime is naturally not as long as on other flagship phones with larger batteries. In our standard video loop test, we ran an HD movie through an endless cycle until the battery finally died after seven hours and 20 minutes.
In terms of normal usage (checking email and social media, taking a few pictures and videos, watching Netflix for an hour and reading several long-form articles on Chrome), we were able to eke out 12 hours of battery life. This isn't fantastic, especially since heavier usage would likely mean you'll barely make it home from an average eight-hour workday before needing to plug the phone in. We'll be taking it around for a full day in the city this week and will update our review with some additional findings.
It what way is it not working?
I'm using it now and I'm not having any issues.
T-Mobile has $30/month plan (100 minutes, unlimited messaging/data)
A lot of MVNOs use AT&T network if T-Mobile won't work for you. Anywhere from $45-70/month.
Or you could go postpaid AT&T and pay $85-???/month depending on data needs. The only reason I would suggest this is if you buy an iPhone on contract and immediately sell it. Otherwise go prepaid (Straight Talk, Aio, Net10, etc.)
The Ringke fusion hybrid case has a better build quality in my opinion, and is cheaper too.
It seems to be inferior to the nexus 4 in build quality apparentely. How the spigen neo Hybrid?
Great case, makes sure the large screen can't touch a flat surface.
Would give 5 stars, but to support a large phone you've got to have a finger on the tip/bottom to support it, the edges are a bit sharp - a little too laser cut. I sanded it down with 1,500 grit sand paper - much better
So I ordered mine on the 5th, said it would leave the warehouse on the 22nd. Got a shipping notification last night and it's in transit .
Is the album art in spotify not showing up for anyone else?
Wtf? I ordered mine on the 2nd and I still get a "leaves in 2-3 weeks" notice...
Maybe it's also based off location. They could have just added mine to a shipment that was on its way over. Shipped from KY and I live in greater DC.
