4vs5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For those of you that upgraded from the nexus 4 was it worth the upgrade? Ive had an opportunity to play around with a five and the screen is gorgeous. It's a snappy device as well. But after using the recently released ota my nexus 4 doesn't skip a beat.

Well, I think it definitely is worth the upgrade. The N5 looks a bit better, is very fast, the screen is very nice. Overall I am happy with my new Nexus

If you're happy with the N4 ... then IMHO, don't. The N5 is an excellent device. Seriously wonderful. BUT, if you're still happy with the N4, then why worry about it. If the N4 does what you want, you're happy with the screen, the camera, speed, and 3G then be happy with it. For me the step up from 3G to LTE was a big selling point. The N4 would have been a near perfect device if not for that and the lack of internal storage... I'm a "need" 32 GB type.
One other point that I think is a big improvement from the N4 - the soft rubber feel on the black N5.
All in all, take a look at the spec comparisons online. If you find a few things that mean something to you ... for me it was LTE, OIS on the camera and 32 GB ... then make the move. If none of the changes pop out at you, then stick with the N4. It's still one of the best devices out there, again IMHO.

Its essentially a $150 upgrade. You can sell your Nexus 4 for around $200 or maybe a little more.

I'm happy with my upgrade, I really like the nexus4 but to me it was worth upgrading to a Nexus 5 , Im definitely glad I bought it.
good luck with your decision,

Ok, last question, for those of you that still have the 4, how does it compare to the 5

Once you upgraded to kit Kat?

Its got more geebees!

I think it was worth it, but I am also a Nexus junkie fwiw. The device is just all around better. I never considered the Nexus 4 to be slow, or have a bad screen, or anything like that. But playing with them side by side, there is a large improvement. The screen is razor sharp and much more vibrant. The camera is a way better if you are patient with it(hopefully google patches in some usability improvements soon). Although it might have to do more with kitkat/google experience launcher than the hardware, the Nexus 5 feels a lot smoother. It's like what project butter did, but taking it to yet another level. Storage bump is definitely nice. LTE makes a big difference if you are in a position to take advantage of it(I'm getting consistent 20-30mpbs with tmobile in my area now). I like the uniqueness of the glass back on the nexus 4, but the understated look of the Nexus 5 is really nice and the phone feels a little better in hand imo. No gaudy chrome plastic trim and such.
Overall, the upgrade is significant if not necessary. If you love your Nexus 4 and don't want to stay on the bleeding edge of the technology curve, you don't need to run out and buy this. But if you are itching for something new, you won't be disappointed by the upgrade.
I'd liken the Nexus 5 to the Nexus 7.2 . Both of their predecessors were Google's first real attempts at user experience focused devices (rather than the developer phone image the old nexus devices had, even if it wasn't accurate). They did a hell of a job with the N4 and N7.1. But this latest generation takes that concept and runs with it, giving Apple, Samsung ,etc a real run for their money in terms of overall polish and brand reputability.

For me it was worth it, but my vice in life currently is new tech. So to have a better screen, faster processor, newer hardware and a phone that doesn't get burning hot anymore, it was worth it.

Personally I would choose Desire.
thanks, i see the only diff.is fm radio and more ram on the desire everything else is exactly the same .but does any one know if tmobile usa is getting it or i have to spend a couple of hundred bucks to get one over seas...or just get nexus.....? what do you think..
The desire: is sexier, has better RAM, is thinner without compromising the screen size, have tactile buttons that makes you certain that you pressed a function key, and have an optical track-pad.
Keep in mind that if you have sticky hands due to sticky food, beverages, work, and etc, than you shouldn't get the Nexus 1. Once those things are in your trackball, you literally can't get them out. And once they are in, than the trackball will stop working, just like every other BlackBerry with those trackballs.
Basically, the Desire is better than the Nexus 1.
If you are buying a Desire in regards to Nexus 1 as a contender, than get the Desire.
If you have a Nexus 1 and a decided to buy a Desire, than you are making a huge mistake because you aren't getting enough improvements through this upgrade.
There you have it! The word upgrade should answer everything.
thanks ,i knew it desire was better,tmobile just told me that if i get desire it wouldn't work here in los angeles ,so guess i have to stick with nexus,and i will save 250 buck too, oh well may be in a couple of month i give this one to my chick and i get a better one lol
I don't think there is a desire available with t-mobile's 3g bands while there is a nexus with them, so you might want to consider that.
I personally like the look of the N1 better, but that is completely subjective. Whether you think sense UI is worth it is completely subjective too. Same with the capacitive buttons.
The only thing that objectively makes the desire better is the FM radio, and a bit more ram (which will be required by sense anyway).
The nexus one has a noise cancelling speaker for when you are on calls, and i don't know if the desire is rootable yet.
According to the site linked, the nexus one is slightly thinner.
Also i used 2 blackberrys over 2 years and only had trackball problems on the older model, which was second hand anyway. The trackball is the primary navigation tool on the BB, it is only secondary, or thirdary on the N1, so i don't believe it to be an issue.

yeah your right is not going to be the primary just like bb, well thanks to all you guys for all the advise..peace
Its a matter or personal preference I'm afraid...the specs bewteen the devices or almost identical. I'm getting the HTC Desire (hopefully within the next week), but again this is just my own personal preference as I think its better
I now have the Desire - and I'm not regretting my choice. SenseUI is good, and the speed of the phone (when compared to an outgoing Hero) is immense. I've also owned an iPhone in the past, and I can honestly say that this phone trumps the Apple effort (except in Apps).
I would recommend the phone to anyone - but once someone sees it, they don't need recommendations.

[Q] T-Mobile users, WHO'S JUMPING TO THE G PRO 2 WITH ME?

The LG G Pro 2 was announced last week earlier than expected (MWC was expected) and there are official images and specs by which I cannot be the only one who is intrigued.
Software: Knock Code, the evolution of KnockON that makes it easy to unlock a phone by tapping out a specific code.
Hardware: 13MP rear-facing camera of the G Pro 2 features OIS+, and is capable of recording 4K video. 120fps slow-motion video, natural flash, burst mode, and a flash for selfies that turns most of the screen white for more “soft” lighting.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB of RAM, 16GB or 32GB of storage, a microSD card slot, and a massive 3200 mAh battery. Screen is 1080p and 5.9 inches with a side bezel of a miniscule 3.3mm

Which of you who have the T-Mo G2 and JUMP! service are going to jump to the G Pro 2? and will you later on jump to the G3?
asides from TMob , as an international D802 user im jumping over to the g pro 2 for both me and my wife (she hated her old Sgs3 and is currently hating her Sgs4)
couple of pluses for me and her are the cam and the external storage. screen should be no problem in that size and of course batt/cpu/gpu improvements are always welcomed.
I KNOW I should be using my Lg g2 for another year or 2 but i think those small upgrades are good for our type of use. i sure hope it hits the market soon as there are not many new top performers in our middle eastern market.
I'm leaving the G2 for the Flex. The curved design and battery life was enough for me to switch. I'm a phone whore though.

i'm waiting for the g3. that g pro 2 is too big for me. i like the 5 inch to 5.5 inch space. also if i upgrade i want to upgrade to a better processor so it'd have to have the 2.5ghz snapdragon 800 with the beefed up gpu or the snapdragon 805. also i'd need to see what this ois+ is all about in the store first. the ois on my g2 is underwhelming. with nokia losing its exclusivity rights to the module they use for their pureview camera's ois, i'm wondering which android phones jump on the tech.
To me it's not worth it ,I still love my lg g2..maybe in another year.

I don't like a device to be that big. I'm waiting to see what happens with the HTC M8
Nobody has mentioned that the G Pro 2 is running kit kat straight out of the box and has some of lg's tweaks. Maybe a port for the g2 in ota update later?

My reasons for wanting the G Pro 2 are that I want the upgraded specs, the kit kat outta the box, knock code, improved camera tech including the selfie "flash", And...... I know I'm gonna get the G3 so I wanted to explore something different first

Have only had my G2 for a couple of months. Still think it's the best phone I ever had. Not ready to give it up. And any phone from now on will be paid in full, no more subsidy, so I will most likely go Google Nexus from now on.
I think that upgrade should be noticeable. I like the specs of the G2 Pro but i buy always contract free phones, so for just that little i don't wanna spend money....
How much more battery time is the LG flex than G2? I know 500 more mah is quite much.. And maybe the screen will use less power?

I have both the G2 and Flex. The Flex battery life is noticeable better then the G2. It's crazy how much better. Maybe my G2 battery was a dud. lol I'm a power user and at timesI had to charge my G2 a few times during the day. With the Flex I only have to charge when I sleep. As far as the screen display difference I don't notice it but you may be different.
Flex battery life

I'll wait for the rom ported over and maybe get the G3.
If the Gpro2 comes to T-Mobile I'll probably do it. I had the galaxy s2 for almost two years, but when I switched to the G2 I noticed that bigger phones are still easy to use with my fairly big hands. Now that I'm used to this 5.2 inch screen I really want something even bigger! The gflex would be cool, but the pro2 has a few more things that catch my interest; Namely the camera, sound, and screen.
Honestly though, LG has been very impressive recently. I don't think I can go back to Samsung or any other phone now. Kudos, LG.

I may play with a Pro 2 when I see one, but I'm more looking forward to a G3.
I'll be Jumping to the S5 , I like the G2 a lot and would keep it for 1-2 years but the back buttons are a deal breaker , wished they offered a G2/G3 with the side buttons instead.
I think the G2 is my favorite phone so far. I love it and having a bigger screen would be nice. I dont like the Flex because of the curve.
I like the curve/Flex because it's different. Tired of rehashed phones. Glad we have choices.

Is the moto g good enough for my needs?

I currently have a galaxy note 2 and i can't say i dont like it but it's just not for me.. Even though i got a large hand (still can't reach the end of the phone using one hand though). I usually go out riding my bicycle quite often and the note 2 feels too heavy in my pockets, i can't even sit without taking the phone out of my pocket which gets very annoying. I really liked watching movies and all on my note 2 but i probably don't feel like getting a Samsung phone again because of the Hardware home buttons.
Anyway the moto g is getting sold for 245$ here, and it looks nice and light so i wonder if it's worth the price here? Or are there any phones that are going to meet my needs? (lasts a day of light or medium use and is easy to carry)
Thanks in advance.
Buy it
Enjoy

I can surely recommend this phone.
Only drawback can be the fixed memory.
For me this is not an issue. But it might be an issue for others.
Although I am not a movie watcher on phones, the MotoG is pretty good at it.
I find the scrolling in app like Facebook is even better than note 3. But the camera is really lousy even comparing to iPhone 4. So think twice if you take a lot of photos with your phone.
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk
I take pictures of essays and other school related things, and that's pretty much it. Are words clear if you zoom after taking the pictures?
And also is the 245$ price reasonable? Because its cheaper in other countries
Absolutely clear for photos of notes. That's what I use it for precisely. Otherwise the camera is decent at best. 245 bucks is still very much worth. In India it's about 220$ or so for 16 gigs. And I'd say that's a crazy deal. Coming from a 600$ One X, all the more sweeter.

Nope, there's virtually no competition at that price point. You could find a Nexus 4 somewhere but that would be at least 100$ costlier.
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk
I have been using the moto g for almost a month and while it does and will consistently meet your requirement of 'a day of moderate usage', it's weight is slightly on the bulkier side. That said, once you get used to its weight, it is a pure steal at the price points it is being sold at.
PS: psst, update to kitkat, enable developer options, toggle to Art and also try the Google now launcher in it. May have to download the package from external sources. Epic

The Note 2 is better.. but if it's too big then get the Moto G i guess.
Have you tried getting used to the Note 2 size anyways? I had a 3.5" phone to a 4.5" phone and the 4.5" felt too big.
A few weeks passed and now i'm used to it, in fact i'm never going to go under 4.5" in my next purchase.
I switched from a Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Moto G is better for my needs, smaller, actually snappier in general, better battery life, feels like much better build quality for a much cheaper phone, and the only thing I missed from the S4 is OTG USB but update fixed that! So even if you are needed space for films ect, wack them on a USB and buy a cheap small cable and you've got more storage when needed!
You won't be disappointed!

@SamsungAdmire it was never about getting used to the size, i do find anything smaller than the note 2 small but the note 2 doesn't fit me even though i really want to use it.. It's just too heavy and hard to carry around while cycling. The moto g seems like the phone for me.
Thanks everyone! I guess I'll just get it

If you are spoiled by the battery life of the note, then you will love the Moto G. Just as smooth (maybe smoother) and great screen quality. biggest sacrifice is the camera so that part is up to you.
I came from a Note 3 and haven't missed it since (ok maybe just multi window lol)

I think you need to sell your Note II and buy Moto G together with a tablet (nexus 7 maybe?) so you can enjoy also watching movies
OK i know I'm getting really annoying but how is the moto g for people with large hands? I have a really large hand, and the mobile store is like an hour away and I'm tacky busy atm

Compare GS4 to Nexus 5?

I am on sprint and have a galaxy s4. I am happy enough with it.
I want the ability to leave sprint and be off contract with either att or tmobile.
I am worried about what I reading with battery life on the Nexus 5.
Can anyone comment on their experience with both he 4 and the 5? Pros/cons etc.
One thing I can tell you from my experiences is that N5 battery is way better than S4. S4 is a powerful device but battery was one of my reason to stay away from it.
My N5 blows my S3 away non battery life.
I had a s4 and i was disappointed with the battery life, the galaxy series never exceeded my expectations especially when they inside touchwiz it reminded me when i had the s2 and the complaints people had,
With amoled displays its ment to be more efficient but it drained so fast when in use, so i swapped for a n5 and even though the battery is smaller i don't need to charge it twice a day.
The n5 is a nice solid device to hold,no bugs to mention, just nice smooth vanilla android
My s4 could not connect to camera often, wakelock bug,reboot required, standby drain,no knox security or deterrents for unlocking boot loader.
Bugs varied from device you may not experienced these.
Thanks for the response.
I was going to get the 6, but that is just too big for me. 5 will be a keeper for a while and it can be used on Sprint ATT and TMobile.
Battery!!!

If you only listen to music, use social media and make calls, the battery will last a day. Now, if you start playing games and watching videos all the time on youtube the nexus 5 you will run out of power at the end of the day. I'm very pleased with my battery life, and with Android Lollipop promising better performance, you can't go wrong getting a nexus.
Funny, when I owned a s4, the best part of the device was the stellar battery life. My only gripe with it was the amoled screen (looked fake to me).

Battery didn't improve much from the S3 before it. AMOLED needs a lot of juice to get the brightness level usable though that has been somewhat resolved in the latest generation panels found only in the S5 and Note4. Hopefully the Nexus 6 was able to procure them and not stuck with last year's tech as the Moto X 2014 was forced to do.
The Nexus 5 blows away the S4 in everything. I set it to ART and it is much faster.
Spark on Sprint is 22mb down.
Very happy I made the switch. What a great phone this 5 is, kicking myself for not getting it a year ago.

So here I am

Bought myself a shiny new Nexus 5X a week ago, it didn't have the magic of the older Nexus 5 so I took it back and got myself a moto x style/pure, very happy with it.
Marshmallow should help with the battery drain
Other than that I love it

My own spoilt fault really, had the Nexus 5 a year ago, traded for Nexus 6 then my upgrade was due so I opted for a Galaxy S6, sold that and had an m8 in return, then swapped that for the dreaded iPhone 6plus then bought the 5X.
I basically spoilt myself for choice over the past year and haven't really settled on a phone I could depend on and have a play with, I knew straight away if I was going to keep it or not, I was a bit hesitant with the 5X but I was more certain I'd return it on my 3rd of owning it so I opted for the pure and I'm very happy with it,
Even rooted it this evening something I haven't done since my original Nexus 5
Not to mention all these so called flagships and their build qualities are awesome but they are too fragile and expensive to fix to walk around naked without a case.
The 5X was very light and almost slipped out of my hand a few times as I couldn't get a proper grip on it, otherwise a good handset just not for me. Fingerprint scanner was phenomenally fast and accurate, I don't use NFC much so can't comment on that, USB C was a bit of a pain as I spend on new adaptors and leads when I bought it, I don't think USB C will be mainstream for a good 18-24 months just yet, maybe ahead of its time we'll see, quick charge was really good and battery drain was typical but doze mode was very efficient hence the quick charge implementation.
Anyone on here that has bought a Nexus 5X looking for a case and an Orzly USB C to USB A lead I can send them to you free of charge I have no need for them can have them sent within the next few days.
For anyone outside of the UK curious how i can move from one phone to another, Here in the UK we can buy and sell handsets as much as we like as long as we pay our carriers their monthly charge then its no problem, we aren't locked to carrier specific phones and the network bands like in the US.

The biggest negative for me about the nexus is the lack of an sd card slot, as well as disappointing sound quality.
I love my moto x style, the sound is great, it's loud, two front facing speakers, with a fairly good base response, and I've got a 200gb memory card in it as well. It's also almost completely vanilla, apps load quickly, the phone does not crash, hang etc. The front facing flash is an superb feature too.
I debated over the nexus and moto for a while, I decided I'd only be buying a nexus for marshmallow out of the box and a finger print scanner... For me the features missed out weighed the positives.

Holy **** are we related? I have a Nexus 6, bought the N5x (cause like you I missed the great Nexus 5 from the past) and was throughly disappointed. The screen quality and speakers alone couldn't match the N6. Battery was fine and the fingerprint sensor and camera were nothing short of awesome, but that screen and speakers just was too much for me. So I placed an order today for a moto x pure, hoping its better all around. I wanted a smaller phone since the N6 is so damn big, and I hear the moto x feels smaller so I hoping it will satisfy. Can't be any worse than the N6.

Bought myself a shiny new Nexus 5X a week ago, it didn't have the magic of the older Nexus 5 so I took it back and got myself a moto x style/pure, very happy with it.
Marshmallow should help with the battery drain
Other than that I love it

The biggest negative for me about the nexus is the lack of an sd card slot, as well as disappointing sound quality.
I love my moto x style, the sound is great, it's loud, two front facing speakers, with a fairly good base response, and I've got a 200gb memory card in it as well. It's also almost completely vanilla, apps load quickly, the phone does not crash, hang etc. The front facing flash is an superb feature too.
I debated over the nexus and moto for a while, I decided I'd only be buying a nexus for marshmallow out of the box and a finger print scanner... For me the features missed out weighed the positives.

It supports it smoothly and brilliantly. Money well spent on the card and phone.

200GB card works fine with MXPE Mine is formatted exFAT and handles all media well. Got one for $150 at Amazon.
