I've seen some scattered reports that the Nexus 5 syncs with fitbit devices without any modifications. Can anyone independently confirm this??
Sync working for me with no mods! I have a Fitbit One btw.

Oh Man, this is excellent! I'm assuming 4.4 fixed whatever bugs there happened to be with BLE Syncing.

How did you enable this? Where did you get a version of the app that would enable the syncing?
I have a Flex and signed up for the beta. Haven't gotten an answer yet. If I search for bluetooth devices I'll see Quark listed which has to be the Flex but it won't connect. Phooey.
EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Go here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46041881#post46041881, see post #26, download and install(uninstall the Fitbit app on your phone if you already have one installed)...PROFIT!!!!! Didn't even need to "pair" the devices. It just syncs straight from the app. You can even leave the app open and walk and it'll count in real time. Awesome

The updated version of this modded APK can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492436 it works by spoofing which device it is to Fitbit.
Seems to work fine on Nexus 5, but the problem they pulled support for (device hanging after a couple of days) can still happen unless you uncheck "background sync" in device settings so it will only sync when you open app. I can live with that until there's an official fix and support.

Sync just worked on its own with the standard app from the Play Store until Fitbit blacklisted the Nexus 5. They have a beta program that I am in. The beta app works on the Nexus 5 and my GS4 running CM11.
Here is information on the Fitbit beta tester group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/fitbit-android-sync-beta

Thanks, I've submitted my request to join the beta for the Nexus 5, hopefully they will let me join.

Can anyone confirm if they have got viber working on their nexus 5?
Mine just pops up a dialog box saying 'error' when trying to register the number and/or a communication error both over wireless and 3g.
I could register viber on N5 from UK. But it crashes when I received messages
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Mine is working, can send and recieve messages but crash if i try to attach an image
Word of warning guys if any of you like myself installed the Android SDK and emulator to try and teach yourself programming then make sure Viber does not get installed if you login with your google account.
Basically this triggers their 'system' into thinking you are a spammer and they then block your number so you are unable to use Viber ever again on any device you own.
Viber support are next to useless and it looks like I will never be able to use Viber again despite doing absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever.

They banned my number because they thought it was used for spamming and won't ever take it off so the error will never go away.

I am using that right now. It doesn't pull previous messages already present. Only the ones you create after the widget is installed. Still in beta most likely.

You could try backing up your texts, wiping them, installing Widget, then restoring?

It's a limitation in the app because Google hasn't released an api so it works off notifications.

Hey guys, has anybody tried had sync? I always used it on my nexus devices, however, the last update for it is on October 6th, way before KitKat release date. I've read through some of the reviews and some have mentioned of it preventing phone from going to deep sleep and causing wake locks. That was on a galaxy phones though, no mention of issues on nexus 5. I have just got the nexus, don't really want to install something that's not fully compatible yet.

Working fine for me.. Just got my phone a couple hours ago, so can't really say much on the wake lock part. But, the contacts sync up and its fine so far..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Why not try it for your self? If it causes problems just uninstall it. Plan and simple. Not like it can brick your phone because an app isn't 100% compatible.
Working fine for me too.

I have sync.me on one of my old androids letting it update my contacts...good idea if you have a old phone laying around...not sure but you could use haxsync like that too.

I did when I got my nexus. My battery died faster than expected. I looked through logs, and noticed that yahoo weather was draining a lot of battery on the background, ended up uninstalling that and haxsync because I figured that it could have been both as android usage was also high. Today, everything was fine. I will try to reinstall it.
I do seem to get some contact pics synced, I'm guessing by default Facebook app still doesn't sync contacts on stock, right? Pictures might be coming from Google +?

MersauX,
Can you please tell me where you found it? What link? When I search for the Haxsync APK, I find a lot of sites, but I am always a bit leery at downloading them from these types of places since I worry about the files authenticity. Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not currently available on the play store. That's the reason I asked in the first place.
I've never had any wakelocks using haxsync, and it has never shown up in my battery stats ever.

Odd, that link works for me. Must be because I've had it installed for years...
I sold my note 3 yesterday and bought a nexus 5.
In the stock contact app I don't see pictures on the contacts.
On Samsung n HTC it use to merge FB and wapp pics and show as contact pics.
Is there a way to do it here? I've got the fb account set up and it's working.

You need an app to do it, e.g. Haxsync:

Stock Android doesn't have the option to sync with Facebook contacts
HaxSync is blocked by Facebook at the moment. SyncMe is the better option. Its improved a lot recently.
I paid the money and it didn't work..luckily the refund option was still available.. Thank you.. I'll try that

Sometimes have to allow Haxsync to sync a few times at first, depends on how many contacts you have to sync (I only have 56 contacts on my phone). Personally, it's the best app I've used, been using it on my old phones (GNex, Nexus 4) and now my Nexus 5

Google started supporting it in Gmail 5.0. It isn't device-specific.

Your article is 5 months old and at the time the Nexus devices were the only ones running Android L.
My article has a link to the official Google APK, not a third party one. Any device running Lollipop, which the S6 does, supports Exchange through Gmail.

You don't. The article I posted was from when Gmail 5 was announced and not yet available on the Play Store. The one on the Play Store (v5.1.89985675) has full Exchange support.
See attached. This is what I have installed. No mention of exchange and mine doesn't have an option to add exchange

I have the S6 edge and the latest gmail from the play store, but doesn't allow you to connect an Exchange account. My Nexus 5 does. Either it's blocked on the S6 or on non-Nexus devices. Frustrating as the Samsung email app sucks.

Thanks for the suggestion... Much better alternative to the stock Samsung Email app. Only issue that have with Outlook so far, is that the calendar doesn't integrate with the device calendar app.
But I can live with that for an overall improvement.

I use either the calendar of outlook which is integrated in the app or the google calendar which is great from the play store. It syncs but not sure which setting does the trick.
Alternatively you can just create another exchange account and sync only the calendar, so you can have email through outlook and use the stock samsung calendar app or google calendar app for the calendar which will be synced through the new exchange account.

It is not officially supported except on Nexus devices. The new Gmail officially supports other IMAP/POP3 accounts on all devices but not Exchange. You need the Exchange Services to get it unofficially.
