*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

My gf dropped her phone and cracked the bottom of the screen.

Does anyone know the cheapest place to get it repaired?

Ideally no more than £70.

Cheers

I'm not upgrading any time soon, too many problems with lollipop and its ugly compared to kitkat not mentioning its missing some of the features which you had in kitkat... :(

BTW I think this is a record for my phone to stay alive for so long. :D

Any received their 5.1 OTA yet?

So now there is a massive memory leak affecting 5.1.

I flashed the factory image, preserving data. Been a few days and all seems to be good. A definite improvement over 5.0.1, where I was getting launcher redraws and a general slowdown after a couple of days. This is how lollipop should have been released.

You could do it yourself if you feel confident enough, I haven't had the need to disassemble my N5 yet (touch wood). But I have change the screen's & keyboards on my family members phones and even though it looks difficult and complicated. Its not, just take your time and do don't rush it. ;)

Here's a vid tutorial 'How-To...'
 
I replaced my screen and it isn't too difficult, the screens themselves are around £30-£40 if I remember correctly but you'll get the tools and everything with that. Having replaced iPhone 4/5 screens I would say that the nexus' is quite a but easier

But GPS problems in the N5 aren't down to the software. The N5 GPS antenna just isn't good.

My GPS is rubbish lately too. It was fine on 4.4.4.

Maybe 5.1 will sort it.

just to mention i've reset the whole phone, wiped everything and put 5.0.1 on it. i've not tested it yet with the maps but gps issue appears to have gone from the gps test apps i've got all showing a good solid fix now. i'll report back in a couple days once i've used the maps to get somewhere.
 
Running 20150315 CM Nightly, Massive battery life improvement :) Taken Xposed off as it seems incompatible and caused me a bootloop last night.
Shame tbh.

Whats everyone running?

Think its best we leave it with someone who knows what they're doing!

I'll most definitely find a way to break it further :D

Thanks though!
 
Fairly sure the answer is no said:

Still working? I can't get a gps lock on mine anymore. I've even tried the hardware gps fix.
 
Anyone seen this issue?
My text messages took a funny turn in hangouts but even though I get a new message, I have to scroll right down the phone as they are showing back in December probably when I upgraded to Lollipop.

Example. Just received a message from a friend 9 mins ago. I dismissed it in the notifications then went to read it but had to scroll to the bottom of my message list as the date said December 20th. Open it up and it states 9 mins ago.
 
^^

:D


Think I might hold of till the end of the year instead of picking up the N4 or GS 6 now, love the look of them but really don't want to go back to slow updates and touchwiz.
 
My Nexus 5 had a funny turn overnight, it switched itself off and wouldn't turn back on again. I plugged into a couple of different USB chargers but it would wake up and the USB charging graphic never came up. Yesterday it had drained the battery down to 15% and had to be recharged.

Anyway, it took 30mins before it would power on again. As I side loaded the 5.1 update I am going to do a full factory reset and run my backups. I will report back later to see if that has fixed things.
