*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

I'd love if it worked without waking the phone.. kinda like moto X

scream ok google and the thing wakes up.. now the fact that you need to unlock it just feels like it misses the whole point

Ya that'ed be great but how does the Motox handle this if there's a pin/pattern lock ?

I found setting the language to US English totally ruined it, the hotword worked fine, but it failed at understanding me.

Did you try putting on a yank accent?

I'm surprised it understands me at all with my epic eastern European accent lol.

Found an issue with my nexus 5.

When its on charge and I try to do things ie touch screen it goes potty as if it's not registering the touch properly.

It opens random apps and goes crackers.

Sounds like a grounding issue of some sort.

What kind of battery performance are people here getting with this?

 

[moggsy]

Same with 8SMS, but it works fine so far anyway. I disabled Hangouts from Settings/Apps.

Tried that but Chomp still FC's

N'mind...thanks for the heads up, looks like I'll have to wait for the dev to update the app (as Father Ted suggested earlier - thx too btw )

Whats the best wireless charger? Been reading the DT-900 was a bit hit n miss with the Nexus 4.

too early to tell but it loves eating battery on random things.. 3-4 hrs screen on currently.

My N4 did that when it's battery was low and it was on the wireless charger

Hope no-one was relying on picking one up from CPW still, they've hiked the price to £429

That's awful. Profeteering at its worst!

Anyone got a bumper/case for the N5 yet, would really appreciated some pictures of one fitted, really enjoying the phone but I do feel it is more delicate than the N4 felt, even with the full glass back!

I did have a Spigen 'neo' one, but it makes it too big and slippery, so I'm sending it back

I spoke too soon. 8SMS could receive but wouldn't send messages. Going back to Hangouts for now until i can find something better that works!

Yes my N4 was awful with DT-900 byt N5 is perfect have had no issues.

So to use the "OK Google" voice activated control I have to first wake and unlock the phone. Isn't that kind of purpose defeating?

Anyone used the Nokia DT-910 with the Nexus 5?

Yeah pretty much. But saves jokers setting it off in your pocket for a laugh I guess.

[rogueblade]

Not great. Can probably stretch to 1.5/2 days with light use. That dip was due to about 2 hours of tethering to my Chromebook.
