Hi,
Good or not...:
The radio is great on the nexus 5...
The radio SUCKS!...
It's YOUR threads, plus this one...

It makes sense to put the antenna at the bottom. With all the talk of Brain Cancer caused by cellphones. When used as a phone, It puts the antenna the further away from your head. And if I remember my physics, radiation level drop fast with distance.
If you read the Safety Instruction with the phone It states that they have to conform to certain regulation about antenna power

Just tried it with my N5, and it does not happen for me.

[Q] Just got the Moto X... few ??

So my old galaxy nexus was overheating and about to catch on fire so Asurion sent me a brand new Moto X still packaged up for a free warranty swap... woo! Now I was was wondering, is this phone good enough to use stock? and will switching from stock to a custom rom in the future will that lose some of the moto functionality? Overall, decent phone? I mean it was a free upgrade from a GN so it can't be too bad eh?
Damn when did u request for a new one? I have a old Galaxy nexus sitting around I wonder if I could do this too

Also to add to ur question the stock experience on this phone is great. I was a huge flasher but now I'm liking how things are just keeping it stock.

I requested yesterday and got it today. The lady offered me this one right off the bat and said it was really good. She said she would of suggested the GS4 but her supervisor wouldn't let her only because I had already had a samsung and since it was overheating they didn't want to send the same manufacturer. Also the reason why I got a brand new phone instead of anything else.

Screen recording. Volume up plus power at the same time

I've never seen this anywhere, but apparently holding volume up and power at the same time initiates a screen recording mode. Why haven't I seen this mentioned.
It's been posted up before and even in a bunch of online articles. You need the SCR screen recording app in order for it to work though from what I've seen.
Oh. Just never saw it anywhere and have owned about 25 android devices in 4 years. Strange.

the only thing i can find is to do it through adb. can anyone recommend an app from the play store?
Actually, it's volume down and power button at same time to take a screenshot. That's how it works on my N5.

No app needed. Like I just replied, volume down and power button at the same time.

In Pure Speed X volume up and power starts screen recording.

This isn't screenshot. This is screen recording. Not sure if its psx rom only thing or if its across all of kit kat ROMs.

It's a new feature that Google snuck into 4.4. It's been fairly well publicized at this point.

Doesn't do anything for me?

This isn't working for me, but if I hold those 2 buttons for a while, my phone turns off.
I wonder if that's the key combo to use if my phone freezes

Doesn't work for me either. Does it rely on an apk?

Not sure if its built into psx ROM only, haven't tried on other ROMs. Happened on accident.
Pretty sure its just a psx feature - on my N4 on Rastakat it did nothing, but now that I've flashes PSX on the 4 it works fine. That certainly snuck under the radar from the PSX devs

On most (all?) devices without a removable battery, holding power forces the device to reboot, seeing as you can't simply do a battery pull

Ahhh, thanks. My previous phone had a removable battery and my tablet has a reset button. I was planning to ask about this in the Q&A forum.

So Google place a feature in 4.4 that requires root to work? That's a load of old toss innit.

Charging cradle! Where can I buy it?

Well, my dog kinda ate the charging cradle. It charges well but does not fit properly. Any ideas where I can get one? I tried Amazon and Ebay but couldn't find them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks pal. It´s a little expensive now, but I'll consider buying it.
yes - any others found
I havn't found any others.
Guess I'll have to get one of these for now. Too bad we can't find that nifty charging like stand that you see at the sprint store.
I'm debating on buying one of these and an acrylic generic watch stand and going to hack at it until it resembles something similiar

I finally went for the original one for $30. I am planning to sell the Gear 2 Neo in a few months and it's a "plus" to have the original charging cradle.
Wow, I just paid $14 shipped from the Samsung website. There's a code for half-off of the default $19.99 direct from Samsung.

[Q] new to the gflex, loving it few ?

Well i finally picked up a d950. So far ive rooted and updated to 4.4.2. Ive done some searching for other roms,mods, or kernels for it and not sure what im actually able do with this phone. Any recommendations on roms or anything for it? Thanks a lot
There... Kind of isn't any at the moment. Not really. I'm hoping now that Bump is out and works with the Flex and that we have a working recovery again for the latest update things will start to pick up.

Try wiping finger across the proximity sensor and tap again. If that does bot work press firmly across of flex near proximity sensor and if that works it means the sensor is sliding back in the housing is what was happening to my flex 950

Best adhesive w/o buying a whole new back?

So I purchased a use N6 and there was some work done it. The previous owner didn't apply any new adhesive to the battery cover so it was coming up on the sides where it lost some of the stickiness. I removed all the old foamy adhesive (took forever) and I have tried putting on Scotch double sided tape, but that was too thin, so it also came up on the sides. Now I have tried another foamy type double sided tape but it's too thick...
I really don't wanna purchase a whole new back for 12-20 bucks.. just hoping to find a cheap alternative that works as well as the stock adhesive. Any suggestions?
