*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

[Deluxe1]

Been using the DT-900 a week, works great.

will the wireless charger work if you've got a case fitted?

Yes, works fine on both my Nexus 7 and 5 with cases fitted.

 

[lmfy2k]

Is it possible to charge multiple devices at once with QI chargers or does it only work with one at a time?

i think its one at a time but the mats usually have enough space to hold one device anyway

review on the DT900 here:

Anyone else having an issue with the microphone?

I'm getting many callers saying that they cannot hear me correctly - the volume is very low. Anyone else noticed this? If I shove my SIM back in my old Nexus 4, everything is OK.

It is getting that bad on the Nexus 5, I'm going to see if they will swap the handset for one with a functioning microphone.

YES, this is a major problem for me too.

That's a shame.. do you know if the technology behind the mats could support it? It would be awesome if there was some larger mats that would do it eventually, it would save me some plug-sockets!

Anyone else's Google Play via PC browser saying "you don't have any devices"? I am sure this started happening after clearing data for Framework etc.

There are models that allow for charging two units.

I don't know when it happened or if it's always been like it but my N5 doesn't show up, my N7 and S4 both do though.

I had lots of weird issues after clearing framework etc. In the end I did a factory reset and all is well again. With Google+ I uninstalled the updates and it doesn't suck the battery now and I can have Google Now enabled.

Mine showed up quite happily until a couple days ago which coincided with me clearing Framework data which is why I made the correlation.

I was going to do a factory reset anyway since I am a recent iOS convert and installed just about every application under the sun to find what works for me 2 birds with one stone in this case then. Thanks!

Saw this on xda. Install box and get 50gb of cloud storage.

Install from here and register via the app... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.box.android

 

[rogueblade]

What does Box do that Drive or Dropbox doesn't do?

 

[Rusty!]

Offers you a 50GB account for free (if you have an LG phone).

I got the extra space when I signed in via my N4 last year. Didn't get another 50GB for the N5 though :'(

Just want to confirm if everyone's vibrate 'device' feels a bit... floppy? Underpowered? Compared to my S4 which is very... fast? Strong? Tight? (hard to describe these things!)

Just wanted to make sure it was normal and not faulty.

 

[zpos]

Always good to have additional backup storage. I know my free S3 Dropbox storage is going to be reduced next year unless I fork out for it.

mine's quite weak too! but I like it this way for some reason

So a weak vibrate motor AND a crap mic.....? On top of a crap speaker..
Not liking the sound of this

TBH, £350 now seems expensive for a device with these design choices...

 

[Tazzfalcon]

Why, do you need a strong vibrator? ;-P

Crap mic? From marques review he seemed to say the mic was fine?

Speakers on every phone are crap apart from the HTC One anyway!
