Do you have any more info on this? I don't recall seeing it and I was rooted until last week.

I should have been more specific Gravity box allows you to use use the volume buttons via long press to skip tracks, is that what you wanted?

Install xposed then go into xposed and install the gravity box module.

if you want a decent bluetooth set then it has to use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AptX

otherwise it's crap

Doesn't this need the Nexus 5 to also support it? What receiver would you suggest that incorporates this technology?

Handset arrived, coming from my temp iPhone 4 it's stupidly fast, sharp screen, just getting all my apps and email setup

Yep it needs to be supported by both the handset and headset.

Swarfega · 13 May 2014 at 14:05

From reading the Wiki it doesn't list Nexus? Why was it suggested then?

I got mine back from LG at the weekend. I did have to ring up and give them a prod to get fixing it! They replaced the motherboard in the end.

I'm glad to have it back. I never would have thought I'd prefer the N5 to the S4 I was using as a stop gap replacment as much as I do.

I bought 2 nexus 5s back in November for Carphone Wharehouse when they first came out for me and the wife and they've both been pretty terrible with GPS from day one.
We tried to use them recently for directions with google maps and they both completely failed to work.
I downloaded a gps app and left mine outside for an hour and got the following screen which I assume means no gps lock.

I've tried every setting in location from high accuracy to device only and still no joy.
Am I missing something obvious or do I need to contact carphone wharehouse to resolve my problems?
After this amount of time do you think they'd be interested?

0 issues for GPS for me. Even when indoors.
Definitely using High Accuracy?

loltim · 14 May 2014 at 20:16

GPS is perfect for me. 32gb black which I bought at release.

Is all the Nexus 5 handsets unlocked? I got one awhile back off eBay UK and it has been prefect while using it in the UK.

But I am in Canada at the moment and I have stuck in a local sim and it is coming up with No Service and then I also have a USA sim and that comes up with no service also.

I was sure all the Nexus 5s where unlocked! Anyway I can check if it is unlocked?

North America gets a slightly different models that supports different range of frequency bands so it could be to do with that.

Eatchipz · 14 May 2014 at 21:49

But it's a UK Nexus 5 Phone well I think so. I got it off eBay UK and the seller give me the receipt from Google Play. I just checked the my model number and it is the D821 which is the rest of the world model supports:

Rest of World (D821) model:

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

Canadian Network (Fido) & T-Mobile USA are both supported I think by my phone. So this is very strange :confused:

_Jimlad_ · 15 May 2014 at 07:31

Pop in a phone shop. Mine worked with a Portuguese SIM.

tom_e · 15 May 2014 at 09:29

D820 is the North American model.

Model LG-D820 (North America)
CDMA band class: 0/1/10
WCDMA bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

Model LG-D821 (Rest of World)
WCDMA bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

are both phones stock? not rooted or using custom rom's, etc?

are both phones naked? not inside a case, etc?

I have zero issues with mine, in fact it's really accurate, google now even tells me where I have parked my car, etc automatically on google maps with pinpoint accuracy.

iMacMart · 15 May 2014 at 11:34

Used Google Maps when I went north yesterday, I was using that and my father-in-law was using his TomTom we purchased for him at Christmas, his seemed to route in other directions to Google but overall I found Google clear, I like the uncluttered look. Whilst up there we needed to find a local place for a caravan tow link cable, love the way I could search, shows you a Google View of the building, full address and tap to route, the whole integration feels very smooth on my N5

Just saw the Parking Location card. Wow.
