So looking at the Google Nexus site and noticed the time on all the pictures of all the Nexus devices are the same. Good ol time of 4:20 !! Nice job someone at google.
LOL XD
Android has been using the time to indicate the version number for a while now.

LOL! Childish and unprofessional. That is where I choose to live my life. More fun that way
Though I never thought it refered to the build number. Makes sense when you think adultish and professional (aka booooringgg).
Cheers!

A friend noticed this as well while looking over my shoulder when I saw browsing the google play page. Quite a nice little addition if you're paying attention.

You're really just dumb is all. But that's how you choose to live your life so more power to ya.
If you have a laptop with Synaptics touchpad the drivers still show 4:20 as the time next to the examples of the tray icons unless they have changed it recently.
Just got a nexus 4 for a friend and I am appalled at how average the screen still looks with stock kernel, how on earth has google not fixed this yet? Why does someone need to install franco kernel or whatever to get the best use of the hardware? Wasnt sheer optimization the hallmark of nexus? What is google doing it doesnt even care.
Similar was the story with the nexus S. You needed custom kernel to unlock the audio capability of the phone because google didnt want us to listen to such audio quality? It was simply appalling and did not make any sense at all especially after listening just how much difference it made to the sound quality and power.
I dont have much experience with the galaxy nexus so I cant say but once again the same old BS with the nexus 4, install custom kernel for blah blah cuz google is too lazy/doesnt care. Franco kernel makes such a big difference to the screen and there is obviously no "drawback" to this that I can see so what is google doing? It doesnt want its users to use their smartphones on a more beautiful screen with no cost added? The nexus 4 stock screen is even worse than the i9023 nexus S, what more can be said!!
PS: I am a power user and have no issues installing custom roms and kernels but due to google's indifference on so many things it seems like the nexus isnt that great a phone for noobs as it could be.
The screen looks much better now in Android 4.3
"Noobs" probably don't even know about the N4. They all buy the Galaxy S3/S4 or iCrap.

I think the screen is pretty good on my stock nexus 4 and thats from someone whos been a amoled user from the very start and i dont think google is the only one which didnt unlock its audio capabilities as samsung did the same with their galaxy s, that needed a kernel change i.e voodoo sound to release the full wolfson power.
Most people I know never even heard of the Nexus. I have to explain to them it is a Google phone. It isn't that Android doesn't care about the consumer. It is that this phone isn't targeted towards the average consumer. It is more a developers phone and such being the case, tweaking can be left for the great developers here.

Yes but its an old story now, I havent heard of any such thing with the S3 and S4.
I think you've missed the point of the Nexus line. First and foremost it is a developer oriented platform. If it was meant to be pretty and have tons of near-useless eye candy and apps you'd be looking at an iPhone or Samsung or HTC. Customize the Nexus however you want, it is meant to be a blank slate.

From the sharp mind that brought you 'all android apps have lag' and 'I don't understand why people complain about on screen buttons'... Here comes another epic thread.
Please everyone, take a look at the wonderful content that comes out of this guy's mind.
Look at it and lose the last hope you had in humanity!
Just kidding , don't.
He's a lame troll, don't feed the critter.
Pretty much the Uwe Boll of xda, top quality content.

Thanks @drakester but I think the best thing is that honestly I don't think Gambler even owns Nexus 4.
So I'm not sure why to crap with all the negativity against it or Google and in this day and age with so many choices I can't even comprehend why not to go with the device you like instead of complain or sit down and start tweeking the way you want it - its Android! And please don't say there are limitations to what you can do with the customisation...
Or as an alternative please construct proper discussion and not complain.
Edit: please.... Power user? Or maybe yes you are right just a user indeed. So if yoy have so many issues why not to create something that everyone else could use it and enjoy it and you can set Google example how you believe things should be done.

I assume you are being sarcastic as the N4 has not been a massive hit. And if I asked my friends what the Nexus 4 was, I don't think a single one of them would know it was a phone.

I agree with ya man. I recently switched from tmobile to metropcs and the guy in the metro store kept asking me...
"is this an android phone?"
yes...it is its the nexus 4.
"ive never heard of it. we carry tons and tons of phones but never seen this one"....are you positive its an android phone...
yes. im positive its running 4.2.2 jelly bean.....
"hmmmm ive never seen this before."
well its the google phone. i bought it straight from google
Everyone who knows android, knows what a nexus device is.........you must be being sarcastic. Let's judge a phones success by what the nimrod at metro PCS says???????

One of the reasons why I get a nexus. Everywhere I have gone, it grabs attention. People used to seeing S3s and iPhones go 'that's a cool looking phone, which one is it'. Has even been a good conversation starter for me a few times. One time when I said it was from LG, this guy was like 'lg makes such nice phones too?!!'? LOL
N4 is relatively unknown, Google intended it to be that way..... imho, that's the only thing that makes any sense. Had the n4 had half the marketing the s3 or s4 had I think the n4 would've really made some noise.
What a shame, so many miss out on experiencing pure vanilla awesomeness

Hey Nexus 5 owners,
Just saw this break my news feed:
https://plus.google.com/106978520009932034644/posts/H4CiUhBRghi
Proof that we can have Always Listening on the nexus 5. Hopefully this gets some big attention because it's one of the most wanted Moto X features available!
Sorry if this is a double post, but I don't think so considering it's 6 hours old.
Incredible! This deserves to be posted in general!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Rated newsworthy. Hopefully this gets featured on the portal and gets the attention it deserves. Can't wait to see what comes of this! Thanks for the post.
That would be so awesome if they could port that; it's the feature I miss from my Moto X the most (besides Active Display)
This is amazing because they can use that hack to use the low powered core for other features like tap on and music playing.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
would be awesome making it usable for every N5 owner! Looking forward to it!
I'm surprised that this has not caused the Nexus 5 forum to XpLoDWilD. Guillaume does some excellent work.
I to think this a big seller for X. I am anxious to see what the X2 is like. But also really love me N5.
I read somewhere that we can't have always listening because it needs trademark from nuance, both moto x and note 3 have it but nexus 5 doesn't.

The main reason we don't have an always listening feature is because of the complications and licensing at the hardware level. Google chose to use the low-core processor for a step counter, which I think is a lot less useful thank touchless control. Hopefully Guillame can prepare a version free of copyright infringement or trademarks/licensing and allow us N5 users to make full use of our S800!

Sorry for the slow reply! I was debating between general and apps but ultimately chose this section because I thought it was more related to an app, but I still hope everyone sees it It's proof that our S800 chip is capable of more than just a pedometer.
You can message a mod and ask them to move it for you. It would definitely get more attention there.
I agree. I would much rather have the always listening feature instead of a pedometer. I still have my Virgin Mobile step counter/pedometer from my old job. I can't login to the site anymore or anything, but it still works fine if I want to keep track of my steps.

As the deal was they sell moto to lenovo for stock and cash and keep a handful of patents but the rest goes to lenovo question is did they keep that active listening patent

Battery life totally depends on how you setup your device. How you use it, what all you install and a lot off other variables. If you figure that out, it can easily last a day with pretty good Screen On Time.
Please define "bad camera focus"?? Touch on the area you want to shoot and click your photo.. Only if you're too close to the object, the camera goes out of focus. But that holds true for each and every phone out there. :silly:
Yes, I agree that the Nexus 5's stock speaker sound isn't great. However, if you root your phone and install Viper4Android, the sound increases significantly! That's the beauty of Android. You can change each and every aspect of it and get the most of out of your device!
please sell it and buy ip4s

You do realize that the Nexus 5 has a Quad Core 2.3 Ghz processor which doesn't have any artificial coolant, right? YOUR PHONE IS GOING TO GET HOT WHEN YOU USE IT! IT"S NOT A BUG!
If it's getting hot without using it then most probably there's a rouge app in the background which is preventing the device from sleeping. Heating also depends on the room temperature as well.

What are the "bad" things that they say? if you're talking about the previous posts regarding camera, battery etc etc, I've already answered that.
1. Why do you care what they say about it? You afraid of not looking cool?
2. Why are you asking us if its as bad as they say? You are using it aren't you?
3. I doubt you are going to find very many people who use a dumb iPhone in this forum.
4. If you know what you are doing, the Nexus 5 can run circles around the iPhone.
5. If you are still worried THAT much....get an iPhone.
@jsgraphicart and @vin4yak big thank for you guys ...you changed my view ..,no it is not about cool it's about I bought the wrong phone ..I asked you because I know that XDA users know more than normal guy ...well I will delete the thread if you do not like it , in the end I must thank all the users here who replied so thank you so much

Apple is not garbage believe me or not Their products are very well made. I got an iPhone 6 plus and by any mean this device has the best battery I ever seen in a smart phone since i-Mate I used to get almost 11 to 12 hours SOT. I was killing it just to force the battery to die in one day and I couldn't do it... I still love my Note 4 by the way
What's an iPhone?
Apples are for eating, not talking on. lol.
