[Q] Does the N5 has the GRAM technology - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
So everything is in the title ^^
I've ordered mine (Black 16go) and was wondering if it has the same GRAM technology used for the G2's screen.
Thanks in advance

I asked this question in the forums recently and had zero response. at first I thought no
GRAM is a term that LG coined for the technology Self Panel Refresh. In my research I saw this tech being talked about in 2011, so it's not really new.
To my understanding SPR is not in the hardware of the Nexus 5. At least I can't find any mention of it. I was talking in /r/Android and someone said otherwise
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/com...battery_miser_thanks_to_new/cd5ktqf?context=3
someone on reddit says
That is code from the N5 kernel. The device tree setting is overridden here - https://android.googlesource.com/ke...74-hammerhead/msm8974-hammerhead-rev-11j.dtsi - Also you can check the kernel log on bootup.
Panel Self Refresh is exactly what command mode panels do and it behaves as you describe. There is some memory on the IC that drives the panel. The panel refreshes itself from this memory every 16.6ms without involving the apps processor.

I have no idea what 'Command Mode Panels' do, nor could I find the details of the panel used in the Nexus 5. The best I could find was that it is made by Sharp, but even that I can't confirm because I could only find one source saying so.
I created a thread in /r/Android to ask - http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1psnl8/does_the_nexus_5_really_have_gram/ - but I still couldn't get a solid confirmation
From the usage time I'm seeing in reviews, I would have to guess no. But I really dunno

anytime, im hoping we can get a little more information this. maybe in the manual or the anandtech review

The Nexus 5 has GRAM!
I stumbled across a review which specifically mentions and tests Panel self refresh (PSR). From their browser battery tests it looks like they are getting just under 7 hours without PSR enabled and just under 8 hours with PSR enabled. It provides around a 15% -25% increase in battery life depending on usage. I have no idea how they figured it out, but it looks like it's there.
I can't post outside links unfortunately but the review is at tweakers.net

this GRAM stuff really works.
I was reading an ebook this morning and had a screen on time of 1 hour 15min and the battery only went down 5%.

[Q] Sensitivity, tap instead of swipe

Hi guys, i really like the phone but I have one major problem with it. Sometimes the screen randomly thinks my finger is tapping instead of swiping.. So when scrolling through a list, it doesn't scroll through the list, but rather taps the links. I compared it with my M8 and its definitely a huge difference

Everything works fine for me on my device. Maybe you should try to get the device exchanged or only contact the support for more information.

sweet advice from you.
I would really recommend to look at oneplus forum.....very interesting reading
Just to sum up, the customer support in OnePlus is nearly non-existend.
I have seen the reports that someone with RMA ticket number 98 (can you imagine, just in first hundred) does not have any reply from them already 3 weeks.
God im seriously thinking about keeping my M8...
I am also experiencing the tap instead of swipe bug. Its a bit annoying. I love the potential of this phone and hope that Cyanogen will get all the kinks fixed. Maybe that's one of the real reasons for the official release not taking place.

Are you by any chance having the issue when not holding the phone in your hand? There seems to be some sort of grounding problem(?) when the phone is on e.g. a pillow which did not exist before the update pushed in the beginning of july. Apparantely CM is working on fixing it again.

I really hope they do rectify these issues. Cause I'm kind of regretting selling my Nexus 5. I mean this hardware is superb and I love the feel of the sandstone back. The software is just not ready for the masses.
I can't wait till the software is bug free. This phone will be a beast!

I am looking at the forums. And: for me, the support responded to my questions within 24h in 3 of 4 cases. That's my personal experience.
I think you should try it. If this does not work: give your request an update. Or two. Or three. And then, if all that doesn't work, either: make pressure on the public forums. THEN you can/should be upset.

I'm very happy for you and wish that the support was satisfactory in the cases of my interaction with OPO.
here are 2 videos:
1 - about grounding problem:
first part of video i have OPO in my hand (6 touch) second part on the bed (difficult to reach 2 touch).

2 - fast typing issue:
here you can see how fast touch are recognized by OPO as swype:

Hello, anyone knows if in the end a solution was found? I have this problem even with the latest update of cyanogenOS.
Someone could tell me if this problem is common? Because I'm considering opening a one RMA support, as in different upgrades they have not solved ...

Yes it's common, i have this issue as well. I think it happens when the phone stutters/lag, the swipe turns to a tap. My solution is to flash fast, lag-free ROMs, reducing the incidents. You should try jgcaap Lag-free CM13 ROM and see if it gets better, it worked for me.
Thank you very much for your advice, I'm testing this rom, and doing very well not have lag or loses touch for now.

What carrier or is it international brand? AT&T and Verizon have locked the bootloaders in the past making it hard to root!
Also can you show some of the theme changer in the settings, thanks.

Any screenshots yet regarding battery life? =)
It will be good for us, thanks!
When you get around to posting battery life screenshots can you make sure to post screen on time, brightness level, and what you used the phone for so that the number are more meaningful.
Nah, is normal
Yeah sorry I hadnt had a chance to get on XDA and respond. Battery life to be complete honest I am demoing the device 24/7 and so far on hard usage i'm getting 6-7 hours. But thats with the phone on full brightness and pushing the phone to its limits. Tomorrow I will be able to provide accurate battery life i will a free day and will be able to see how long it last without demoing it all the time.
I will so provide screen shots of my battery from yesterday and a screen shot from today.
Thanks for putting in contact with the right people I will contact them and do a system dump and hopefully get this started.
Maybe you can post sot time
Can you upload its Firmware? So we can extract some interesting stuff?
thanks
Yeah, screen on time (SOT) is the only battery metric that means anything to me.

You guys are so wrong on that one.
SOT is probably the worst way to tell a phones battery life.
Were Bluetooth, Locations and other things on? Screen brightness? What apps installed? What was on the screen? A web page? Gaming? (remember this is amoled and darks are easier than whites too).
This really needs to stop because it seems to have spread to a point where more and more people are calling this a metric when it's not.
There are way too many unknown factors that will greatly effect SOT.
He right. We need all the info not just SOT.

Yeah wow, looks pretty shoddy, but considering I don't see repair parts for the special edition anywhere, I don't think we'd have a choice. I guess with a case on it afterwards you probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Quick question - have you compared the connectors of the backlight for the Kenzo and Kate? Is there any difference? Wonder if it might be software related?

Has anybody tried replacing both the screen and the backplate? If we're lucky we only have to change both and then have no 2mm gap between display and housing.

I have just ordered it, it was available for the gold one at least. Previous to the payment I calculated shipping cost to Finland with my address and it was 0€, it said also the delivery time was 7-10 days. After they´ve received the payment (39,42€), they sent an e-mail with the real delivery time: 11/05. So from 7-10 days to 23 days...
I will have time to check some youtube videos about LCD replacement and decide if I will do it by myself, meanwhile I´m already asking for budget is some shops... I´m not quite slick about assemblings/ replacements.

Well i can't suggest you mate as this is individual choice and preference on UI, SW, camera, build, design etc.

Does your view 10 warms up occasionally.
Mine only does when it's out in the sun and I'm using internet on mobile data.
On that app CPU-Z, it reaches around 38-39 deg Celcius in the battery temp section.
Is that normal...?
Or mine's having a problem?
I'm trying to activate LDAC for my WH-1000XM2/B for a while but I can't.
Seems like Huawei/Honor really did not implement LDAC for the View 10 or am I just dumb?
It's not even present in the dev options.
Really frustrating me as I bought it as a replacement for my OP3 after I read it had LDAC support out of the box.

That is normal. If used under sunlight then all the phones gets warm.
If you use on WiFi then temp isnlower than the one used under mobile data.

There should be some YouTube videos detailing the process of changing the screen.
As for finding out which screen fits, do some Google searches for:
