Galaxy S5 sucks so badly !! - Nexus 5 General

I'm done with the Galaxy S5, five hellish days with it is driving me to the edge of insanity. For my sanity sake, I'm going back to my Nexus 5.

Not liking another phone isn't really related to the Nexus 5

Have you been giving your phone any attention since you got your N7?

I don't know about you guys but I haven't been giving my phone ANY attention after I picked up my N7. I love this thing. I have the galaxy s2 skyrocket and it doesn't even compare to the joy I get out of my tablet.

it does now cuz jelly bean is now on it(;
I do, because I also got a SGS3 within days of it, making it 2 new devices. LOL
Nope lol.
And after a good while on my Tablet, When i pickup my SG2 if feels like its shrank lol.
I start to struggle to look at the screen and text lol
My Trophy, about the same as always ( I love my phone & the fact it runs WP7!) I have though dug out my old HD2 & flashed ICS to its nand memory as I have very little experience with Android and am loving it, I love being able to mess around with settings & tweak stuff, is making me more excited to get my Nexus 7 with all its quad core JellyBean goodness!!
Lol I know I have to squint when I look at the phone now. Also my s2 doesn't have HD screen so it looks like crap next to my N7. I love this thing.

Ics on my RAZR feels like a joke after using the nexus.

Isn't the nexus the same as the N7? Pretty much I mean. I heard somewhere that its kind of like a blown up nexus running jelly bean? I never played around with a galaxy nexus.

My phone has lasted for 3 days without charging (since I got my N7)
First time ever
Yes and praise baby Jesus for that. Before this I was constantly checking the evo lte forums for some jelly bean, or even just some aosp love. The n7 has definitely distracted me from that. Now I just pick my phone to see if I have an lte signal

Nexus 4 replacement dropped...kinda

OK so I got two nexus 4's and I just moved to T-Mobile and honestly I need two more phones and it kinda doesn't make sense to buy any used phone with the nexus price so low.
So if I was to get a replacement and hypothetically dropped it and wanted to keep my phone could Google just charge me for it and I get to keep it. It kinda the same as buying it right.

Lol its kind of a good idea i don't feel like there's anything morally wrong about it except lying to get the first RMA cause its not like he's not gonna pay for it and yea he's skipping the line but he already waited too but hey that's just my two cents bro just make sure they don't ruin your credit when u keep it Lol

I mean this is hardly fraud Google made it this way. I have no problem paying for the phone.

Anyone thinking about switching to the Nexus 5?

I was offered a trade for a 32gb Nexus 5 for my Note 3. I was wondering if anyone is also considering this. I am stuck between the two. The only thing thats keeping me from doing the trade is that the battery is awful on the Nexus 5. Just wanted some opinions on this. Thanks
Nope. U getting some extra cash (I mean 399 vs 650) cause straight trade doesn't make sense, might as well sell the note and buy a new nexus
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Yea..uh..Nexus 5 is a cheaper phone. No way
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Definitely not worth the trade... If you wanted to you can just buy one used in a month for probably less than 300 and have both phones
agree with everyone here. just read all the reviews on both everywhere if you're still unsure. note 3 is still the best phone on the market. i was in your shoes too deliberating between the two and picked the note 3; very glad i did.
I'm sold on the Nexus 5 after I persuaded my coworker to get one, but I wouldn't even consider trading my note 3 for it.
The truth is I'm having some awful luck with my note. I'm on my 2cd device and I can't seem to stay connected to a wifi network. Plus the home button on both went from perfectly pushable to a sunk in button I have to mash with my fingernail. Sammy definitely didn't hit a home run as far as build quality imho.

I bought one to try and I love google phones but I'm way to happy with my note 3 it sold same day it got here

The Nexus 5 looks like a fine phone for the price. But my Note 3 has worked flawlessly, and I'm happy to pay more for the bigger, higher-res phone.

That's weird, I've had zero wifi issues. I'm using the 5ghz channel of my buffalo ac router. I also tested the 2.4ghz and no issues.
This thread is all kinds of wrong. First the Note 3 is worth a considerable amount more than a Nexus 5. Second, this phone beats it in some important categories including screen, battery life and features.
And last but not least, stock Android blows. Especially the latest version with those big and ugly icons. Stock Android is super boring to me and too light on features.
Just my opinion but don't do it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda premium
Even with the bloat I think the Note 3 is far superior to any of Nexus devices. I even think the S4 is as well.

Battery life on the Nexus 5 compared to the Note 3, is night and day. The N5 can't even last a day, not even close.
And I still love the deep Plasma blacks, and vibrant colors of AMOLED screens, I've seen the N5 in store, and it looks washed out in comparison.
Plus more RAM on the Note 3.

Making a phone with that small of a battery is like putting a 3 gallon gas tank on a car...almost not usable. 3,500-4,000 mah should be the standard on phones these days. You would be very disappointed with the trade.

Erica Griffin from YouTube did a mini review of the Nexus 5 and she was only about 3:30 uptime, 2:20 screen time and she was at 26% battery. It's a joke and even she was saying the same pretty much.
If you are a moderate to heavy user in any way, why would you even consider the Nexus 5?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda premium
I just returned my nexus 5 today. It's hard to use anything with a non amoled screen after you have used a phone with an amoled screen.
The nexus 5 camera was also horrible.
Sad part is, I bought the nexus 5 and gave my wife my note 3 and now she won't give it back, so it's back to the sgs4 for me

I am upgrading from an S4 to the S5 unless somehow Samsung manages to drastically screw up the S5.

Seems more appropriate to say "moving" to s5.. since it's not out n all. Also.. it's a new phone, that's reason enough lol. I've never understood how people can keep the same phone for 2 years. Ugg.... I sell mine and buy something different ever 3 or 4 months. And I always get the latest flagship from HTC or samsung. Simply because it's the latest flahship.

horrible battery life, camera wasn't too good, the phone gets crazy hot and i find the flaps annoying.

If you sell your phone while it still has value, and you got it on an upgrade offer, you can make enough to support a new phone every few months
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
I am coming from my Galaxy Nexus that I have had for almost 2 years, I still love my nexus but am due for an upgrade since november and have been holding out for the S5 as long as it isn't completely screwed up
I will be coming from an S2 running Shostock 3. I really do not need a new phone as mine is working perfectly, but I waited out the S3 and the S4 so I figured with this new Jump program from At&T I would look into the S5. But as much as I want it, if the price is not right for me I will keep my old reliable and wait a little longer
From Note 3, please! please!! please!!! Samsung, Blow me away! I need 64bit and fingerprint scanner at the least to shut up those pesky iDevices users.

So in my case I would every 6 months reconfigure all my 17 e-mail accounts, all my google drive settings, skype, gchat, teamviewer, all 300 apps, all TW settings, all my phone book and contacts settings..
to do this every 6 months is really stupid.. every 3 years, ok.. i can take 3 days to do it..

Why would you have to "reconfigure" anything? As soon as you sign into your Google account on a new phone all contacts and settings are synced, emails are setup and all is well.
Do you not use Google to setup your contact lists and emails? If you really do have 17 email accounts, you can have Google manage them. All emails will go to your primary gmail account, when you respond to an email that came from one of those accounts, it will automatically use the address it was sent to as the outgoing address. People who correspond with you will have no idea you responded from your primary address.
When I get a new phone, I sign in to my Google account and within a few minutes,
Other than having new hardware, it's identical to the old phone. Sometimes smart phones need "smart" users.

[Q] Will / can a galxay gear SM-700 work with a nexus 4?

I saw these gears very cheap, like £20 in Cex, so I bought two on the off chance. Can I make then work with a stock Nexus 4 running Kitkat or another Cyanogen firmware?
If there is a thread, I've missed please point me at it.
