Phone is good, but has some major flaws..... - Nexus 5 General

Camera quality = decent
Video Recording = laggy when moving around (try it yourself)
Speakers = lol are they serious?
battery = alright, nothing great.
Other then that phone is awesome. I love everything else about it, overall i'm going to keep it.

Every one complains about the speakers but I thought it was good coming from a n4 where is muffled all the time its a big improvement.

The speaker is whatever to me. The placement isn't the greatest, my finger seems to fall in that spot quite often, but as far as the quality, it's... a cell phone. Coming from the HTC One I feel spoiled. I just took some camera shots in my apartment between the One and the Nexus, normal and HDR, and I was impressed with the Nexus' camera. I just wish the shutter speed was faster.
I was worried when I got it that it wouldn't live up to the One, and while there are some trade-offs, I think I'm going to be happy with making the switch.

The direction of the speaker makes a big difference. In landscape mode the sound only comes from 1 side which almost feels like one of your headphones isn't working.
On the plus side the quality is quite good when volume isn't an issue.

So the title says "major flaws", yet the list doesn't really reflect that?
For me, the speaker is poor, bus that's about it really and I wouldn't classify that as a major flaw.

OP needs to rename this thread to "minor flaws"

I still see this phone not as a migration for people already having an high end device but a really good jump from older devices. I had an HTC one X, and if it had not broken six month ago (I fell back to HD2 in the mean time) I wouldn't have bought the N5. It's a good device, but a part from the hype I don't see any major motivation to switch to it.

You could say that about ANY device.
They are all a compromise, you have to decide if the balance of price / features / openness /etc is right for you.

Speaker sucks!! Not a real improvement since N4. I can even flash some special mod to make the speaker in my previous N4 more seriously.... Someone still said.... decent volume? O.M.G.
Luckily I listen to music through Bluetooth in my car, and never talking when turn on the speaker, so... not a big deal. But my brother just give up and trade it plus a couple $ with an HTC One and happy with that (sh!tty phone IMO)
Everything else is great. I love my N5.

This is my first Nexus phone and I Ferrell the speaker is low, but I'm learning it may be certain videos while on YouTube.

And they are entitled to criticize the product, we just simply need one thread for such comments, which are as good as yours or mine.

So far the only thing that's disappointed me is battery life... speaker placement is questionable sure, but not that big a deal in my opinion. What are the odds of battery life improving noticeably with an update from Google/developers?

Phone upgrade recommendation

Hey, I'm looking to upgrading my phone after, sadly, giving up with WP7. I love Windows Phone 7, but starting to lose all hope with the lack of apps it has It's a HTC 7 Pro, my phone before it was a HTC Touch Pro. Before that I had a Sony Ericsson w850i, which, at that time, had an amazingly good speaker quality and volume.
Now I really like the iPhone, insanely good speaker quality, loud, fast and decent quality HD camera. It would absolutely suit my needs - However I really want to give Android a go. I was looking into the Sony xperia V or the samsung galaxy s3. Can someone let me know if either of these phones are as good as the iPhone, requirement-wise? (See my requirements below) Otherwise please recommend me a phone which match these requirements. Thanks very much!
- Very loud, decent quality speaker with audible bass (very much like on the iPhone - or better if possible!)
- High quality HD recording (again, like on the iPhone)
- Must be Android
- Great processor (1GHz+?), good with multi-tasking and a nice phone to 'show off'

iphone 3g kills s3 hands down noob
I don't like Apple products or the iPhone, it's too limited, and you can't use development functions on it. The iPhone is amazing when it comes to the speaker quality, camera quality, but that's about it. Android can do everything an iPhone can do pretty much, and more, hence why I asked for a recommendation.
But if everyone recommends the S3, then I'll be getting that! Thank you very much.
Wait for the s4

definitely the Note II,
i've had the Gnex, the s3, and the Note II, and note is the best, awesome battery life, and raw power.
as long as you can handle the size, but once you get used to it everything else seems so miniscule lol
but yeah, if not, just get the s3, because a nexus 4 is way too hard to find.
My advice is to do what I and many others do: waiting for the S4 or the Xperia Z.

jaybird bluebuds X

Hi Guys
I bought the Nokia BH-505 bluetooth stereo headset, it is great for music but awful for playing games as there is the problem of sound delay. So the sound of every click i make on the phone is delayed by around 1 second which makes it really annoying
I came across the Jaybird bluebuds X and the review about them seem to be great in terms of sound quality and comfort, but I am not sure whether they also have the issue of the sound delay.
Has anyone used the bluebuds X and can confirm whether there is delay or not, or even if someone can recommend a good bluetooth stereo headset that has no delay
Thanks
I have the Bluebuds X and I haven't noticed any delay. I just use them when I'm working out so I couldn't tell you how they perform when playing a game. For music they are pretty awesome.

Hi guys
Thanks for the feedback, but my main concern is the audio delay which you cannot detect when listening to music. Can you try a game and check whether there is delay. For example when you press the fire button in a game do you hear the fire sound immediately or do you hear it delayed by almost a second? Thanks

I swap mine with TSX500 last week, first I thought it doesn't fit, hard to put the bluebuds inside the foam, but after couple tries, it went in, better comfort, better sound outputs.
An Alternative
I use these:
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-HBS700-tone
Unfortunately, after testing them with Inotia 4, I found out that the delay is there for these, too. It's kind of strange, though, since there was no such delay before when I used them on my Sensation XE. And then again, when I used them with my Vita, the audio was delayed, too.
Anyway, if you're still interested, there's a newer version of these, the Tone+ or HBS730.

I'd say there is no delay when I play the game Usagi. When I press to swing my sword there is the same delay as when using the phones speakers. Any free games you'd specifically like me to try out? I love these bluebuds

I ordered a mix pack to test out all the sizes. I ended up fitting best with a medium as far as I can tell so I gave the small ones to my GF and I may or may not use the large ones some more to do more testing to see if the larger ones offer better isolation and retain relatively the same comfort.
Delay is there

Hi,
I've these earbuds. Yes, there is 1 second delay in games(Ex : Temple Run). But no delay in videos.
I experience the lag during gaming as well using my BlueAnt Ribbon, and I believe it is a known issue for Android. I read somewhere that 4.2.2 is supposed to fix it.
these are the best sounding bt stereo headphones...period!

I have had the BBX's for roughly 2 weeks now. I have only noticed a delay when my phone is "sleeping." Otherwise this is the best set of bud headphones I've owned since I bought my Soul SL99 last year. Now to get these foam earplugs everyone is talking about to finalize the fit!
Wow. I just checked for these on Amazon.co.uk and apparently JayBird think that $=£, as they're trying to sell them for £170 (almost $260) compared to their $169 price in the US :/
do you still need those little "wings" on the earpiece once you install the Comply buds?

[TIP] Better colour with flash photos.

Hey all, this isn't a mind blowing tip, it's just something easily overlooked. Forgive me if it's been covered but i could not find it.
When taking photos with flash I found under my tungsten light source that everything had a blue tint to it.

This I found results from the phone incorrectly detecting the white balance.
It is easily fixed by pressing the picture button and holding it while your phone focuses and measures the shot. Then a second later release it and the results are a marked difference.
To those using any camera with a half and full press button this isn't a large surprise but with the trend to simple tap on smartphones I find this easily overlooked.

He's a street dog. Someone found him as a pup in the rain and put him online. He's pretty mixed as a breed but has some hound in him. And much smaller than a mastiff :cyclops:
I didnt know about the hold focus either. I felt it wasnt obvious because the N4 unlike htc's and iphones doesnt do an instant photo. it does the shenanigan of focusing with the ring and all the jazz so one would assume it would measure its white balance then. Anyway you live and you learn

Oh just like the video says I am a total noob when it comes to android phones. I have always had iPhones from the first one to 5, and after it broke I thought I mix it up and got a lumia 920 (terrible experience I had no clue what I was doing) and that bought the Nexus 4. I got to say there is a whole lot of little tricks such as this which is great, so thanks again for posting.

Welcome to the droid community. Once you get sucked in its hard to go back. I try using the i5 now and then. The lack of a back button and my app settings within a separate settings app really bug me.

My Review Of Nexus 5

Gunna make it nice and sweet
Pros
Screen beautiful
speed
ceramic buttons
Design
thin/light
cons
terrible battery, so wish it was better
camera hit and miss, expected better
back plastic is'nt the best feeling feels cheap
on white version the speaker phone is white on the front making it look stupid black then white there
4.4 kitkat is all google now 3 ways to access it (really) why so many irritating
first impressions is if you have it keep it, if your on the edge i would go with another phone tbh the s4 or something bit dissapointed 70 quid more then my last year nexus and not worth the warrant of the increase
Going to give my feedback nice and sweet.
Terrible Review. I learned a lot.
op is an idiot. moving along
Thanks for your initial impressions.
The battery should improve after a few more cycles, so give it some time. Others have reported good initial battery performance, which is interesting.
Early shots taken with the N5 looked really sharp and fairly comparable to the iPhone 5s. Can you elaborate where it fell short of expectations?
If the back plastic is anything like the N7, I think the feel of it is really nice and comfortable. Frankly it's a probably a better choice than having a glass back and is also part of the reason why it's so light. I don't mind this =)
OP needs a lesson on how to write reviews
Yeah. That.

How people test out battery life early on is beyond me....
It takes a full week for battery to adjust in my experience (and many times it gets WAY better in that week span).
With a review like this you should have just piggy backed off of someone elses thread.
I really hope the battery isn't terrible since coming from my Note 2 I got spoiled.
- Oh the beating the OP will endure until the ref jumps in and stops it
10/10 Best Review ever. :good:

Typical fanboyism. Someone doesn't like a device everyone lines up to flame him.
Let's be frank, the N5 will fall short on all comparison reviews to all current flagship.
Just get over that fact.

No.
We're not ribbing on the OP because we disagree with him.
We're just giving him **** because we're sick and tired of seeing stupid posts like these on the forums.
This is also not a matter of elitism or ganging up on newer members.
Anybody can write a generic, two-bit review like this one.
If you're going to post a review, have some substance and be scientific about it.
Tell us what you did on your device, what apps you have on. Don't just write oh battery sucks.
Most people just have the common courtesy to keep it in an existing thread so we don't have to see a hundred of these type of these "new posts" everyday.
The next thing you know, somebody is going to write oh the nexus 5 has such **** terrible voice quality - oh I forgot to mention I called from a dead zone in the middle of nowhere.

My review for the day one:
Positives:
-great design and shape
-screen and natural colours
-love the white "plastic" material, rather feels like ceramic tile of some sort, not plastic. great build
-speedy and responsive
Negatives:
-battery is main concern, didnt last me from 9 am to 6pm with moderate usage
-slow charging
-kitkat lacking in features and settings
-context menu missing on some apps
-3 main screen buttons (on the bottom of the screen) still taking valuable space
Will give it a go a bit longer, not making any rush decisions

GS4 owner just got a Nexus 5, and its great

The Nexus 5 looks big in pictures but is actually smaller than my galaxy s4 with a very thin case on the G4. And the Nexus doesn't need a case because the back is is rubbery and grippy, beautiful! Also, it feels absolutely premium in terms of build quality and materials.
The screen is brilliant, bar none the best I've ever seen. And better than my iPhone 5.
The camera shutter sound is very subtle, in fact I'll keep it on
The navigation keys are a lot closer so it's a lot easier to use one handed.
Speaker phone is awesome: loud and clear.
Needless to say the phone overall is as fast as all hell.
Nexus 5 screen is vastly easier to read in direct sunlight
Where does the Galaxy s4 beat the Nexus? So far all I've found is the speaker volume, which seems to be a little low when playing videos. That and the replaceable battery and memory card slot.
Its my first day with the Nexus 5, and so far, so good.
Just thought I'd give a little feedback for those of you who are on the fence about switching. I have both at the moment, but my S4 may soon be on Craigslist.
Hows the camera

I've only taken a hand full of photos, but so far the camera looks very good. Plenty of detail and great white balance.
I've been considering switching as well - but there's a few things that keep me on the fence. The S4 has AMOLED (which I prefer to IPS, but subjective) and removable battery/microsd. And the battery is larger on the S4.
But as the other user asked, how is the camera? Apparently it's not as good due to flawed software, but there IS image stabilization. Hmm...
When you put the Nexus 5 next to the galaxy s4 with both at full brightness , the Galaxy looks muted, fuzzy, dim. Take your phone to a Best Buy or Sprint store and have a look for yourself.
And here is one of my first few snapshots.

Was thinking about switching myself, but I've heard mixed things about the camera. I'd have to test it myself in person before I could make a decision
I used to get all anal about about the cameras too until I realize that all I ever use the snaps for is Facebook. I have real cameras for when I get serious.
Good to know.
I recieve mine tomorrow. It's been real S4 gang. Great community here and I'm hoping the Nexus 5 community is as wonderful!
There's already a thread for other devices discussion.

Perhaps you got a lucky phone or your just so happy to get a new phone you look past the defects but according to this thread and what ive been reading over in the nexus forums i dont think theres ever been a phone thats had this many problems out the box. If i was LG i would seriously be concerned bc i think there gona be seeing thousands of units returned

I just glanced at that thread and looks for the most part like people being super anal about non issues. But hey, if you get a bad one, send it back. Right?
meh...I was really into the phone at first and was considering selling my S4, but after reading a bunch of reviews and people's opinions on it...it seems meh and I'll just stick with the S4 for now. Went to the Nexus forums and nothing but fanboys in there jumping on anybody that says anything bad about the phone and trying to defend their purchase.

Ha ha, that's the way it goes, right?
Anyway, here are a few more shots from the camera, and then I am off this topic. Good luck everyone.
And here are the few more snaps I shot with the Nexus.
The saturation is a bit over the top at default settings, but otherwise they look good to me.
I was thinking of selling my S4 for the nexus..until I seen a smaller battery. Specs mean nothing if it doesn't turn on.

Time will tell about the battery life. Some have said it's so so, and others have said it last for days between charges.
I might get the nexus. But with the wobbly buttons. Non removable battery and no Sim slot. Plus dead pixels and light leakage among other problems that's kind of scary for a phone that's just been release
