Hey! How many of you have sold or planning to sell your Nexus 4(s) for the Nexus 5? I sold mine and can't wait!
If you have or are going to, write below as to why you are!
All my Indian brothers, the Nexus 5 will be available in India!

SO what do you think about the phone now?
Nope. I only upgrade when I see a reason.
I'll have the software. I'll stick with the n4 till It breaks or I actually see a worthy upgrade reason.
Even then I still won't sell it. To much to deal with for less then 200 bux. I'd rather give it to my Da.
Nope, here are my reasons why:
1.the N5 isn't worth it imo.
2.The N4 is sleeker and nicer than the N5 and other phones(also imo).
3.My N4 is still super fast and fluid so no need to upgrade.

I dont agree about the n5 not being worth it :-/
a 1080p display, possibly a better camera, S800 are enough reasons for me.
P.S: I live in India and got 2 Nexus 4s back in Feb when LG didn't start selling it here... and i made a profit out of it, which enables me to buy the N5... I got around 10000 rupess out of it ($200) which makes buying the Nexus 5 cheaper for me
and im doing the same thing this time around as well...
I won't ever sell a Nexus. I use all my old devices as media players, handheld game consoles, media center remotes, etc. With all the emulators and apps to make life easier and more connected, I see no reason to sell. Add to that the updates that continue after so many generations, and there is REALLY no reason to ever sell one. Hell, my Nexus S is running 4.3!!! I use it as my home phone with calls forwarded to google voice. There's always a reason to keep old androids, imho
i gave mine away. brother loves it. bring on the n5 :good:

I agree, but with the profit i made from selling a nexus 4 in india (i got one along with mine) and the amount im getting from selling my phone (near $250), i am getting a nexus 5 almost without paying anything extra
I had the s4 since it launched on att and to be honest the nexus 4 is faster stock then the s4 was with its typical touchwiz lag. I would like the 1080p screen and the better camera that it will most likely pack however I see no reason to upgrade just yet.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
me personally think the nexus 5 looks like a slab of black plastic with plain buttons and nothing really innovative, the front especially,..so im going another year with my nexus 4 and waiting for the nexus 6, hopefully built with motorola and glass infused shell
I did the exact opposite, I bought a N4. With the hype and rumors about the N5 dropping In october I was able to pickup a mint 16 gig with a full skin for under $200. The prices are back up now. I'm normally a generation behind to save money. And the N4 was a great bang for the buck a few weeks ago. Especially on T-Mobile LTE.

I will sell mine on ebay for 200+ the day my N5 arrives!!!!!!!!!!!!, goodbye inferior N4
Am very tempted to sell my N4 for either the LG G2 or the N5.
Apart from all buttons being on the rear of the LG, I like the larger screen, higher MP camera, larger battery and general appearance of the G2 over the N5. However, I'm concerned about the LG software (ie not stock Android), LG's track record on software updates and the very small developer community.

Why would they call it the Nexus 7 2? That would be ridiculous. We'll just have to refer to it as the Nexus 7 (2013) like you would with the iPad, Macbook, Samsung Series 9, etc. I'm excited to see how well the new one comes out, and my Nexus 7 performance has gotten rough, no matter what ROM I'm throwing at it. I'll hold off on upgrading until we see what 4.3 is like, as many with the Nexus 4 say that the update has improved performance a bit.

Why ridiculous? Because you think it is? Maybe having two different devices with the same name is ridiculous and confusing. Samsung has Galaxy Tab 7, Galaxy Tab 2 7, Galaxy Tab 3 7. Last I checked, Samsung has been selling a lot of devices, so I guess people don't mind their naming scheme.
Well I do think Samsung's naming scheme is ridiculous as well and can't imagine it being that marketable. I understand that they really just market the Galaxy Tab 3 (or the series that they are on) line itself and not each device, and is up to the consumer to pick the device size they want. I would just rather market to people about the Nexus 7 and make that a brand name. Especially if it is just a yearly release type of device. Consumers don't get confused by Ford selling a different Fusion or F150 model every year.
I would expect the consumer to figure out that last year's model is priced at $100-150 range (how great of a value would that be for a Nexus 7) and the new models are in the $200-250 range. Especially as other companies have conditioned consumers with that strategy

I don't care what they call it.
Just release it, and take my money already!
I'm surprised they don't unify them and say Nexus 5 7", Nexus 5, and Nexus 5 10"

I mean chances are its the 2nd gen with all the other leaks and the listed red, but I'm still not convinced. Although if Google does want to sell a lot of these they have to have it in best buy stores. People don't go to staples and office depot to buy electronics.

Now that I've seen what it looks like, I'm not that excited about anymore.
Hate that huge bezel.
The bezels are big, but its a tablet and this is probably preferred when holding it landscape so you aren't touching the screen.
I just wish they put front facing speakers in it.

I think the landscape bezels are about the same size as the current Nexus 7. But it looks like the portrait bezel was reduced even more, looks like it may be about 33 to 50% smaller now. Though I I think Google/ASUS would have been fine reducing the landscape bezel size a little bit. But when holding in landscape I do want to put my thumb on the front glass, so some bezel is good.
I hope this is a good sign that Best Buy is putting this in the Sunday ad, hope that means they expect to get a decent supply.
I don't like how the camera is off center, but other than that.....

Am I the only one not considering to buy the new N7 through the GooglePlay store this time around? Last year was such a mess when it was first released!!!
out b4 the eBay surge....
just sold mine last night to pay for a portion of the new one.... I, too, wish the bezel was smaller simply for aesthetic reasons but the functional reasons mentioned in the thread make sense... either way, I'm buying it...
noob question -- but how long does it typically take before launchers are compatible with the new o/s? are developers pretty quick in making their updates, does it take a little while, or do most launchers generally play nice with the updates for the most part?

Yeah, there are pros and cons.
The con is fear that Google will be slow shipping it out and I could walk to Best Buy and get it quicker.
The pro though is Google Play's customer support. If anything goes wrong with it, they will immediately cross ship me out a replacement with 2 day air with zero hassle. If I buy it from any other retailer, I'm stuck using ASUS customer support and I have to ship in the tablet and wait weeks for it to be fixed and returned.
But I suspect I'll probably just go to Best Buy anyway. I have 15 days to exchange it if there is a defect and usually if it's fine after 15 days I probably won't have a need to do a RMA in the future.

Google still hasn't said anything official, but the Nexus 5 is clearly ready for launch. Canadian carrier Wind Mobile has just put up its Nexus 5 pre-registration page on Facebook so interested parties can get on the list to be notified (at some point). Along with the form, we get a nice spec list, which confirms a few things about this device.
Much of this was already known, but here's the full spec list from the registration page for your perusal:
Screen: 4.95-inch 1920×1080 display (445 ppi) Corning Gorilla Glass 3
Cameras: 1.3MP front facing 8MP rear facing OIS
Weight: 130 grams
Dimensions: 69.17 x 137.84 x 8.59 mm
Operating System: OS Android 4.4, KitKat
Chipset: 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor
Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G) 802.11 a/b/g/n/ncNFC (Android Beam) / Bluetooth 4.0
Storage / Ram: 16GB or 32GB internal storage 2GB RAM
Ports & Connectors: microUSB, SlimPort enabled, 3.5mm stereo audio jack, Dual microphones, Ceramic power and volume buttons

So now we can be pretty sure there will be a 32GB variant of the Nexus 5, which should put everyone's minds at ease. There's no information about the magical larger battery that some folks have still been hoping for, though. This once again confirms optical image stabilization on the 8MP camera too. The listing mentions ceramic power and volume buttons, which seems unusual.
The official measurements give us an opportunity to compare the Nexus 5 to the Nexus 4. The new phone will be less than 3mm taller, under 1mm wider, and about half a millimeter thinner. The Nexus 5 will also weigh 130g to the Nexus 4's 139g. Not bad for a phone with a larger screen.
On another front, a user on Neogaf posted pictures of several pallets of Nexus 5s in a Canadian LG distribution center. It seems Canada is absolutely overflowing with Google's new flagship phone. Please send some of them down this way, guys.

I'm still concerned with the different color options and hoping they don't pull a moto x dev edition thing and only offer the 32GB in that black and white case.
32GB in all black is all I ask for.

I'm going to buy it off contract, and hope they won't be subsidizing it ridiculously. I'd love to be able to walk into Best Buy and grab one on day 1.
Otherwise I'll buy from Play Store. Has anyone bought a device from play store in Canada? No issues I assume?

Then I was moderately hopeful about the N5...until I saw these dimensions. I really want something small-ish. About the size of my old S2, but with a 4.7" display would be about perfect. I wish they would make a nexus like that...but instead they have all that damn bezel space below the screen!

Yes, ordered from the play store a few times. No issues. Most of the items I've ordered have shipped from from the US into Canada so I'm curious if they're using a local depot this time. The only thing I'd recommend is make sure your credit card and shipping information is correct in the Play Store. I remember seeing a few folks have delayed orders because of incorrect info (old CC expiry dates).
Hello Dear Nexus 4 owners and friends,
Holiday greetings. I am finding it so difficult to stay satisfied with my Nexus 4. With all the great deals this past weekend and then the Moto X (Android Central Phone Of The Year) for only $350 Wednesday and next Monday I just am having identity issues with my current phone. I mean it "feels" fast enough, I get GREAT battery life, I've got KitKat, and mods.... I just want more. My ideal phone is the LG G2 but thanks to good ole T-Mobile's un-carrier foolishness I can't get one for free with a contract or upgrade anymore. The Moto X seems nice but it's got the same size screen and the camera appears so so.... I don't want so so... I've already got that... I want bad a$$ blow your mind fast with awesome camera and a solid battery life to boot.... Then at the end of the day I think overall My Nexus 4 has been good to me today. It easily gets 14 - 15 hours battery life with 3+ hours screen on time... Plays games fast... I think if it only had a slightly better screen and camera I would be happy... Anyone else going through this during this festive shopping season?
Thanks folks!

Well, you have listed all the best things about nexus 4 there and to add, active development support from this community. If you're still unhappy about it then buy a new phone. LG G2 seems to be a good choice if battery life and camera is what you're after. Nexus 5 is good too though I'm not sure about its battery life.
If your not satisfied with ur nexus 4 then go upgrade

My brother owns a n5 and battery life is much better than mine. I undervolt, underclock, etc and he just... owns a stock n5
GF has the LG G2 and its a nice phone. wish development was more active for it. soooo wanna put CM or whatever on it. im not a big fan of the UI, but she loves it. Mind you shes an ex-craPhone user. Imo its a good phone on looks, battery, and features. i love my N4(miss my Gnex as well). its a great phone and lovethe development going for it. yea camera is eh, but i dont take that much pics. enjoy the nexusness about it. dislike the rear glass back(gf dropped it out of my hands while taking my car keys. thank god for my slip on case). only thing i want is a bigger SD. the G2 come with a 32gb SD from tmobile and the N4's 16gb makes me cry knowing that i have 2gb of space left. If you like the stock feel of android, pick between the Moto X or the N5. If you want a new phone with something different you got the G2. have you checked out sony's new baby yet? step-padre has one and its a nice phone.
Got a nexus 5, it doesn't feel as premium as the 4 does with its curved glass and solid feel.
Battery wise, I only use 2g with data off and WiFi only, my nexus 4 edges it.
You're having issues with yourself, not with the phone. Get a psychiatrist.
Well I just learned that with the t-mobiles uncarrier plan and with the jump thing every 6 months when you trade your phone in they squash whatever you owe on your phone and let you upgrade to the next one without a penalty.
So I'm not sure I'd exactly call it foolishness. I think the LG G2 is 0 down right now and 17 a month. . . you can either keep it longer or trade it in at 6 months...

i think that anything that is not nexus can't be considered an ANDROID phone, so I'll stay with n4 because the n5 doesn't offer anithing that can justify the deal.

I think 17 is AT&T G2?
"Jump" is a way to generate more revenue out of customers...
Current price of T-mobile LG G2 is 24 a month(never seen it drop to 17, the most is 50 off- 0 down) 10+24+taxes add up to about 37 a month...
You would be constantly paying more after 6 months ($10 jump fee plus the monthly payment on the new phone or existing phone.)
I bought a like new LG G2 for $450 total 2 months after manufacturing date.
I think it's a good deal...
Honestly I really love the Nexus 4. If I had T-Mobile coverage at home, I would not have to upgrade. However Nexus 4 does not Wifi-calling which I realize I really need when I'm at home. The camera and faster CPU are added benefits. However Nexus 4 seriously is fast enough to me and the LTE is nice when I go out. I was planning to switch to AT&T for a free phone and better signal but their 25% price increase forced me to drop the idea.

Well for me other factors to consider is that I'm broke.... Lol. To get a new phone outright I would probably have to sell my Nexus 4 and 2012 Nexus 7 tablet. I'm already paying $20 a month on my wife's Galaxy S4. So I don't wanna up my cell phone bill yet another 15-20 dollars a month for my phone. I guess I just get bored easily. Lol. Had the HD2, Then Galax S2, now my Nexus 4...i just get bored and wanna check out new stuff. At one point I said "The Nexus 4 is gonna be my last phone"..... Guess not.. I will probably figure out something after the new year. I can make more changes with my TMO plan in January. I don't wanna just run out and buy a Moto X because it's the cheapest... Don't really wanna settle.

2) Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik libraries from MOTOX 4.4
3) 36dpi nav bar
4) KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r197
The Voice activated Google Now! Alone makes it worth its wait in gold for me when driving and need to send email or SMS! The N4 is still a great phone! Yeah would love the N5! But not got the funds or the inclination to replace a device that has not once shown, its not up to the task it is set! My Wife has the Galaxy Nexus! Another great phone that is still performing for what she needs and its her i will be upgrading first to the N5. Think too many people get side lined by the speed of how quickly our phones are surpassed with newer and shiny models! Its like the camera on phones! What do people expect? Your not going to take your wedding photos using your phone! My phone is and always will be a tool! Not a fashion accessory otherwise i would have bought into the iOS crowd (Mac user so not Anti-Apple). The N4 is still performing and with the great Dev's on XDA don't really see me getting bored anytime soon!

I think 17 is AT&T G2?
"Jump" is a way to generate more revenue out of customers...
Current price of T-mobile LG G2 is 24 a month(never seen it drop to 17, the most is 50 off- 0 down) 10+24+taxes add up to about 37 a month...
You would be constantly paying more after 6 months ($10 jump fee plus the monthly payment on the new phone or existing phone.)
I bought a like new LG G2 for $450 total 2 months after manufacturing date.
I think it's a good deal...
Honestly I really love the Nexus 4. If I had T-Mobile coverage at home, I would not have to upgrade. However Nexus 4 does not Wifi-calling which I realize I really need when I'm at home. The camera and faster CPU are added benefits. However Nexus 4 seriously is fast enough to me and the LTE is nice when I go out. I was planning to switch to AT&T for a free phone and better signal but their 25% price increase forced me to drop the idea.

Oh I didn't realize that that wasn't the price. I called yesterday about looking at an upgrade and was offered 0 down and 17 a month on a GTO and on a nexus 5. Maybe those were just holiday deals or something. Also I don't ever talk to regular customer service I always go straight to the I want to close my account department.
To me its not a bad deal though that means every 6 months at that price I'm spending about 120$ .. and get a new device.
However all of that said in understood I'm not looking to go from my Nexus 4 for a while. I'm running a stock kitLat rooted with faux kernel and love it.

It's a freaking phone, it's not supposed to replace your wife. Just do something else when you're bored with it. But it's your money, if you can afford another phone, go for it.
I have been down this path before, getting a new phone like every month. But with the unlimited customization I can do with the Nexus I couldn't get bored with it. I love the speed of KitKat with ART, I don't even feel the need to get a Nexus 5 yet. I can't see myself dealing with TouchWiz, Sense or any other third party bloated UIs again. If I have the urge to, I can install skins or theme it, just take a look at what people can do in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990251
The fun with Nexus devices is the tinkering and hacking you can do with it, without losing a large chunk of your wallet. If you just want the latest, greatest and fastest, you will be chasing an endless target.

My reasons:
-Fully working sweep2wake and sleep with NEO kernel, LG G2's knock knock feature got nothing on this.
-Faux color and sound kernel features
-PSX rom (I'm normally not convinced by roms that claim to be fast, but this is clearly fast translated to real experience, not just benchmarks. Just hope it'll continue to be supported in some form at xda.)
-The vast amount of roms and their features.
-And the number one reason: MultiRom
Edit: decision made, no Nexus 6 for me, it's too big, expensive and ugly immo, just ordered a brand new Nexus 5 from Amazon for €300. ☺

As suspected for a few months, we will probably have a 6" Nexus phone coming this fall.
As a Nexus 4 user i am reluctant to start using a 6" phone, but being a Nexus user since the Nexus One, and after talking to a few friends with the Note i am inclined to take a leap of faith.
What do you guy's think, let's post a few pros and cons so we all can make an informed buy.
Pros:
Better browsing and youtube experience;
Stop carrying a tablet;
Possible massive battery.
Cons:
It won't fit all pockets;
Two hands usage;
Possible weight.
PS: let's skip the 5.2" vs 6" as it probably won't be happening.
I'm ready for the switch

you forgot a unique con which plagues all nexus phones ....**** battery
HYPE.
I'm just waiting for it to be real and purchaseable.
I'm waiting for a Moto Nexus since Google bought Moto back in 2011! (and they do it after selling it to Lenovo lol)
Will buy day 1 regardless of its dimension! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Not going near any 6inch device, no matter if its called Nexus.
I prefer to have a tablet at 10 inch.
Unleashed by my Nexus 4
Nexus 6 should be max 5.5... 6 inches smart phone is useless, According to me
Nope. As much as I love the nexus line, that is just way too damn big for me. If I can't operate it one handed, I don't want it. If anything, I plan to finally move up to the Nexus 5, and the's max size I want in a phone. Any bigger and I say "thanks, but no thanks."

According to all the rumors, the Nexus 6 will have a 3200+ mAh battery, i just hope the QHD display won't eat it too fast...
Way to big. Ordered a meizu mx4. Mostly for the camera. I still think that maybe to big.

To me, N4 is a phone and N6 is not. 5.9" is just crazy, who knows, maybe Google brings something in normal screen size (5" or less) alongside N6.

Pro's: performance (good enough for a couple of years, looking at the specs). Oh, and 4G in Europe.
Con's: size. A big screen sounds great, but portability and one-handed use.
Looks like the terminal will have excellent processing power and RAM plus a big battery so it'll be good for a couple of years, but like everyone else - will this thing fit in a trouser pocket and can it be used 1-handed?
That last point may well force the UI to offer options so that eg status bar can be positioned at the bottom/navbar on the bottom left or right (just saying). But it's a big piece of kit....
This thing doesn't even fit my backpack.
I'm a Brazilian without English Course, sorry and be comprehensive
I was ready for the switch, couldn't wait...but if the N6 is really gonna be that big I don't think I will buy it. It's too much of a jump from the N4 in terms of size.
If Google really comes out with just the 6 inches version, I think I will choose between the MotoX and the G3. Or maybe even an N5 if I will find one.
I actually think I'm gonna skip this one. As European guy I couldn't picture the size in inches(do it America, I beg you, switch to metric system like the rest of the world! ). Now seeing the two in comparison I must say that it's way too big for me. Nexus 4 is just about the right size, fits in the hand, you can control it with 1 hand. I never found myself wanting a tablet or phablet for that matter. It's phone, laptop or desktop pc for me. I like the keyboard very much to give it up
I'm definitely up for a bigger phone. My Nexus 4 is the biggest phone I've owned, and I'd love a big phablet to use at home for gaming and reading eBooks, and for traveling when I don't want to lug around my laptop. Obviously, I'll be keeping my Nexus 4 to use when I don't want a gigantic slab in my pocket (I want a Sony Z3 Compact for that, but that's several months away for me).
Maybe I'll even pick up a Nexus 5 when the price drops because the 6 is out.
One thing I'm wondering about the Nexus 6 is that, if it comes running Android L out of box, will we be able to "downgrade" it to 4.4.4 KitKat? Obviously, with previous Nexus phones, downgrading to a version prior to its release made no sense, but for those of us that love what the Xposed framework can do for us, I have a feeling 4.4.4 will be ported to the Nexus 6.
Rumor is there'll be a 32GB version for $419USD, and 64GB for $449. If that turns out to be the case, I'm only about $100-150 short of affording the 64GB, which I should be able to save by the time it's available in November.
If the phone does turn out to be 5.9" like most people suspect then I'm out.
I'll be a little disappointed as I was hoping to go from my N4 to an N6 but that screen is FAR too big. It's near enough phablet size and I want a phone not a phablet.
I'll probably just pick up an LG G2 instead. 5.2" is the perfect sized screen IMO.

The G3 and MotoX are also my other options but i'm waiting for the price. If the Nexus 6 arrives with a decent price it's a hard choice.
Looks like the next Nexus won't be inheriting the good looks of the GNex/N4/N5 (mostly N4 lol). That's it, i'm out. Can always flash an AOSP Rom on a phone if I want the Nexii feel again.
I will switch when it comes down in price from Fido

You won't get the same experience even on AOSP, had a Galaxy S2 running CM and sold it after two months.
Lot's of bugs and frustration.
Wow. I upgraded today from a Galaxy S3 to a Nexus 5. In my 4 hours of using this phome, I have loved every second. One complaint is the speakers. While playing San Amdreas, holding the device blocked the speakers. Any suggestions? Otherwise, this puts my S3 to shame. I called 3 different T-Mobile stores and only one of them in my area actually had one in stock. I was able to get this wonderful device for a mere $27 as the taxes are up front. Anyway, goodbye Scamsung Crapaxy S3. Hello Nexus 5. I say scam cuz
S3 at T-Mobile:$432
Nexus 5 at T-Mobile: $396
Yeah
You decide which is better.

The N5 a year later is still an amazing device. So amazing, that after selling my first one about 6 months ago, I ended up buying another one a month or so ago. The damn thing is fast as hell and buttery smooth, and performs just as well as anything else out there. You made a great purchase, and I hope you enjoy the heck out of it.
As far as the speakers are concerned, it's annoying but it is what it is. I'm used to it, because I'm also an iPhone user and they've always had the same problem. I've learned to adjust my grip so the speaker isn't covered, but it's still annoying. One thing I can recommend, is that you buy a Moga Pro Power controller. I have one for Android, and I also have the Moga Rebel for my iPhone 6, which is essentially the same thing. If you aren't familiar with it, it's just a game pad, but it has a built in clip to hold the phone. No speaker blockage, and gaming with a controller takes things to a completely different level. It works awesome with the N5 and good news for you- San Andreas has native support for it. Check it out- http://www.mogaanywhere.com/controllers/propower
I also hate how my hand covers the speaker when gaming in landscape mode. If I hold the phone so that doesn't happen, it just feels awkward. Other than that, loving this phone, still.
Welcome here! Quite an upgrade from an S3 I had one way back. The N5 is a superb phone imo. I've been on it since launch day and it continues to satisfy my gadget addiction even 1 year later! Enjoy it
Yeah. So much faster than an S3. Even with CM offsetting the crappiness of it. TouchWiz was too slow and unusable. I hope to have this device until I can buy a OnePlus One from T-Mobile. But that'll never happen. I can't believe how smooth and seamless everything is on this phone.
Thanks. I have heard of those controllers before. I will have to look into buying one eventually. I have a USB OTG cable so I can already use an Xbox controller if I want to.
I just upgraded from my Nexus 4 to Nexus 5 . . Don't regret that decision . . . The nexus 4 is still a decent device but I was itching to have the nexus 5 , lovely experience I've had with the n4 and the n5 enhances it further. Oneplus One will be my next upgrade or its successor because the chipset is 32bit and will not fully take advantage of L's 64bit support.
I had an htc one x tegra 3 which has cost me almost 45€ monthly. Now i have a n5 which is by a longshot better and have 30€ per month... Same data and call plan btw... Logic?
I had two GS4 which are hw damaged without any reason, couple days ago i buyed this device really can't complain on anything except cam recorder audio and some sw issues with my first installed rom(Mahdi).Also still can't believe what ppl on youtube saying for N5 battery life because for me it's better than on GS4.Really great device a lot of faster than Touchwiz.

Turn phone 90degrees clockwise instead of counter clock wise. This way speaker is a the top making it less prone to being covered.
N5 has 1 speaker only. The other one is a microphone.
Use this app and those settings. Makes the phone a bit louder.

I don't want a 5.9 inch screen. The Nexus 5 serves me well for what I need to do. Besides, better than S3

If nexus 5 is outdated...i guess 99% of the smartphones with soc older than sd800 are also outdated .....
Oh wait u have a nexus 6 ?
Using less than a day
Im just experiencing my first 24h of this amazing device. I was a bit confused between HTC One M7 ( must mention its look and build quality ) and N5, but the purple tint camera problem of M7 and the too damn high price point was ruined all of my expectation. Eventually bought the N5, 16G with Nillkin case and clear screen protector.
I was a Xperia Ray user for more than 2 years. Surely, no need to mention the performance and storage boost, but that Ray was a beauty I must say (still using it).
Im from Bangladesh. Here Nexus are not that available and we cant order it through any carrier. I want to check the IMEI for originality for this device. Is there any sort of website can do that online? Hoping to have the best from this device. Currently the plan is to use it like OTB for 1 or some months, after that will need to unlock it and see its full potential ( atleast for Viper).

+1. No more blockage issue for me ever since I started doing this many months ago. Most games/apps should auto rotate accordingly.

Reminds me of one of the funniest threads of all time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...d-easy-fix-muffled-speaker-landscape-t2555496
I prefer my S2 Hercules to the S3. Lol My M8 had to get sent in for warranty repair and I was given an unrooted of course, S3 as a loaner. Was a brutal downgrade. Lol
My rooted S2 danced circles around the S3. So yes, going from an S3 to an N5 would be a great upgrade! Enjoy! ?
