*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

The size is just something you get used to. After a month the screen on your S2 will seem a bit small.

this! give it time and s2 will feel wrong to use..

 

[grudas]

I had a note 3 for a while and liked the size but needs a higher resolution IMO. The text in menus was to big

increase dpi? problem solved

 

[grudas]

I meant decrease haha.

dropped my n5 while doing a pull up a the gym yesterday.. flew out of my pocket probably 6" drop! looked like no damage at first..

but then there's some light bleed in the corner it hit when viewing a black/dark image and wireless charging won't work now - any ideas why that would fail? such a simple thing duh

Edit

k, thats fixed.. ripped the back cover off and cleaned the wireless charging contacts.. odd

 

[grudas]

Yeah damaged mine too when doing pull ups! Only the back cover needs replacing tho.

 

[grudas]

so what roms are you guys running? I went through like 6 yesterday and each one was a bit iffy/laggy/buggy rubbish basically..

 

[grudas]

purity just doesn't have the options I want, I need t-mobile theme engine but only heavily modded roms have it!

 

[grudas]

Are you sure it wasn't a G Flex?

I was thinking the same? what curve on g2?

 

[grudas]

No, I don't really want to root etc.

oh go away.. it's a nexus device just mess with it!

 

[grudas]

unlocking bootloader will wipe all your data

 

[grudas]

odd how the new camera app crashes when I try to select HDR.. - on 3 different ROM's too

 

[grudas]

Minimal usage (just camera, browsing, few phone calls), could probably have got another 20 min on screen time:

20 mins? I'd say 1-1.5 hr

iPhone 5 64gb black

selling and getting a new nexus sounds like a better deal then~ ?

 

[grudas]

made those videos when I got mine

I still own the phone and it's still my main phone but it's simply there and if that bothers you then hey ho..

personally it doesn't effect my day-to-day usage of the phone.

only thing that bothers me -;

speaker BOOOOO - both the placement and loudness/clarity

..

 

[grudas]

Cheers matey.

Is there a program i need to be able to alter the home screens etc?

Try

-; themer beta
Or
-; buzzlauncher

From the play store.. Dead easy to change your screen setup and it'll save you a lot of time! all of them are made by android community and I'm sure you'll find something you like and modify as you please.

mahdi rom here so 4.4.4 was released yesterday best rom I've tried tbh.

 

[grudas]

Had a weird bug where an icon pack (Velur) kept corrupting (perhaps when clearing the dalvik and cache?). Some icons would disappear and the app would crash on launch - needed to uninstall and download again to get it working each time. I don't know if it's related to Mahdi or 4.4.3, or affects other programs, but I've seen another couple of users complaining about corrupting purchased apps on the XDA forums. Hopefully yesterday's update has fixed that.

It is a cracking ROM though.

I haven't noticed any bugs yet... I guess it depends on your use? for .e.g I never use Bluetooth

 

[grudas]

ok replacement screen and frame thing has arrived

got the tools and loads of online videos to help me replace the screen tonight

anyone done this before ? any tips / things to watch out for ?

don't mess it up.

 

[grudas]

That good?

Does the cheap one not make it look poo?

No offence

it's one thing I don't get.. people going about build quality etc etc.. and then dropping the phone in 99p case, now it might work and do it's job but you won't feel the solidity/quality of the phone anymore? actually any case is TOO much imo..

the only reason my n5 is in a case is because I drop it at the gym way to often.

 

[grudas]

Well my Nexus 5 has now gone.

you're in the wrong thread then no one likes you here.
