*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

[Psycho Sonny]

Yep, all the stickers have come off.

What do we reckon it's worth now?

Might just say £150 and be done with it.

it's worth nothing without the stickers, that's the main point in having the device in the first place. so you can look at the stickers and show everyone how cool they are. without them completely useless, i'd bin it if I were you

On such a beautiful looking device? No chance.

beautiful looking? tbh it looks like every other smartphone out there, a glass screen, some plastic, etc. nothing beautiful about it, it's very much generic IMO. in fact a £99 moto g looks the exact same albeit smaller.

I use a case simply because if I drop it it's going to cost me money to fix/replace, with a case it's protected.

the number of people i have seen with smashed up screens and then continue to use them with a smashed screen because they cannot be bothered or afford to fix it is scary. i see them on a regular basis every time i'm out.

sure insurance is great buy the excess fee isn't neither is using a smashed up phone in the mean time.

i use a 99p case if it prevents that from happening then great.

haha nope, an iPhone 4 recently dropped in a sink full of water

Women eh

Oh that's a shame

Woman and electrical's don't mix.

It's a good looking phone to me. I don't like cases, never have and never will use one on any phone i buy.

I don't expect this to happen to a phone i have had for 6 months.

Yesterday there was an update to Google camera and they've added 16:9 to options.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

you don't expect stickers to come off after 6 months use?

 

[tom_e]

you don't expect stickers to come off after 6 months use?

I've had mine for 7 and they look the same as they did the minute it came out of the box and no I wouldn't expect that finish to magically disappear for no reason.

 

[Captain]

No i don't expect them to come off after 6 months, what a stupid thing to say.

 

[DAnDan]

If it's still in warranty, why not just send it back for a replacement? I'd definitely be doing so!

It wasn't bought direct from google.

It wasn't bought direct from google.

[Swarfega]

Something smells fishy.

 

[Captain]

Something smells fishy.

Then please close your legs.

I might be missing something here, so thought I'd ask. I have the following issues, which, I'm sure are T-Mobile related, but they say everything is fine.

Basically, on two recent trips to Europe, I can data roam, receive texts, and calls, but can't make calls. In France, it said my carrier needed to be contacted. So, when I got home, I rang T-Mobile and they said all was fine.

When I went to Italy, same issues, but the message was a bit different, basically asking me to check my phone settings.

Are there any settings like that within Android? I've never seen any.

Secondly, anyone who sends me an MMS (yes, I know, still happens), I keep getting texts saying "Can't retrieve MMS" This goes on for days, literally, days, then suddenly, I get the text telling me to visit the T-Mobile site to view the picture with this password.

Any ideas?

Sounds like APN stuff, on both accounts.

Settings => More... => Mobile networks => Access Point Names

 

[_Jimlad_]

Should just work abroad tbh

^ looks very nice.

I also agree it is a very good looking device, much better than the nexus 4, I love the feel of it in my hand.
