Hi all! I've not received the update yet. I'd like to know if other fixes apart for camera and audio are present.. I mean yellow tinted display for example or poor battery life...Is the kernel the same of the previous release? Thanks all guys

No such thing as poor battery life. Just how you use the phone.
No idea about the yellow display, but camera and audio fixes are a good enough reason to update.
Kernel is different. Eg, can't flash 4.40 kernel on 4.41.

It also fixes the bug where if you only have the lockscreen on slide and get a missed call it unlocks the screen
I would like to hear the voice of who have the unlucky display to understand if the yellow tint is still present...do you think it's a big deal anyway?

The vibration is improved with 4.4.1. It's ""tighter." I don't know if that's how to best describe it, but you know what I mean. It felt weak originally.
The stock vibration level was 63 in 4.4. It is set to 70 in 4.4.1. You can further adjust it via an app called vibration config.

Hi,
My nexus s is new and since day 1 i just use it with 0 brightness.after hours of exploring, i noticed that when i open up the keyboard for more than 10secs and drag down the notification bar the keyboard boxes can still be clearly seen.its like a shadow of the keyboard imprinted in the notifiaction.noticed this in market as well when searching for apps the keyboard shadow can be clearly seen.also more than 5 sec static on your homescreen,after that i drag down i can clearly see the icons shadows in the grey notifocation bar. Is this normal? All of you have this behavior when on 0 brightness?or do i have a weak display?its kind of annoying sometimes.

Its sort of a burn image. The blues fade out and get a yellow haze. You can test this by displaying a blue image for example google image blue and zoom in. Auto brightness and sleeping the ohone when not using will keep the colors rich. I had a vibrant that did the same thing.

Sucks but it cant be fixed without replacing the phone/screen

Hello guys ,
As youmay understand ,I'm new on Nexus devices.I wanted to use the Notification Light to inform me if there's something new or not.
I saw the Light Manager App which works perfectly . But the Light Flow (lite~premium) doesn't work .I just can't go with it , it looks promising but it doesn't work ,as it doesn't inform me for a notification ,nor if I press the test button ,it Simply doesn't work .
It looks great but it seems that I can't do it .Please someone out there help me or if you could give me your backup it'd be great thanks anyway

If LightManager works perfectly then what are you looking for in Light Flow? I'm using LightManager to control what color the notification light is for each different type of notification. If that's all you want to do then stick with what works.

Because Light Flow looks better and it has many more features ,one of them was Mixing the colours Red,Blue,Green (forgive me if I made a mistake on these colors)

Light Flow works for me but it has bugs. View the help website in the app and go to Nexus 5 page.

Light Flow works for the most part for me.
Only sometimes after SMS gets dismissed, notification seems to keep blinking, though may be a GO SMS thing, not reproduced it consistently enough yet.
I use this to set it up http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/2349
Lightflow worked perfectly on my Nexus 4 but on my 5 it's a little buggy. With the last update a couple days ago it's running much better though. I know the dev is working hard on getting all the bugs worked out and he's getting close. I'm using the paid version and I would recommend it because the developer is very responsive on a few of these threads and is actively working on making it better.

Hey all. Normally I use a Bluetooth headset for all my calls, but occasionally I don't have it on me. When I take a call using the phone's regular speaker I can barely hear the person on the other end. If I have any background noise, it's impossible to hear them. I've got my sound turned up to max. Anyone have some suggestions?

Since 4.4.2 both speakers on mine get incredibly loud. The N5's earpiece speaker is small (small circle rather than a long slit) so you do need to play with it some to get it set properly on your ear. Call someone and talk to them (indoors and quiet preferably) and adjust the phone on your ear till you hear it best. That's the position you'll need to use. I got used to it quickly and use about 40% volume even while in car at highway speeds and it is loud enough for me. Maybe clean your ears with a q-tip?:laugh:jk
See if that helps, if not maybe something is going on with your earpiece speaker?

Hard to troubleshoot when you're running custom software (rom +kernel +old radio). If to really want to get to the bottom of it (imo) you should go back to stock 4.4.2 with NO mods and see if it does it. Otherwise you're just shooting blanks (again imo). Anyone in the PA/faux/radio thread experiencing similar?

trickster mod
Install trickstermod kernel settings app and go to kernel settings, see if you can increase the gain for the speaker. If there isn't an option, you need to change kernel to one that allows sound tweaking (elementalx does) and then boost the gain through trickstermod app, or another free kernel settings app of your choosing. Changing the gain is a kernel setting that gives a very good boost to sound levels.
Figured it out. My screen protector had a cut out for the speaker, but I never popped it out. Took it off and I can actually see the speaker now!

Seeing as how my moto x Dev edition just broke... (Microphone just failed)
I'm thinking about the nexus 5 again.
Only if... However they've fixed that garbage quality speaker.
Can someone shed some light?

No. Same erratic build, no new 'version'.

There was a software update for the speaker. Fixed the volume being unusually low in certain apps.
If you root the phone there are many options to increase volume and audio quality. Unrooted you can use equalizers for a small boost.
I find it loud enough to hear my ringtone in a noisy environment and clear enough to enjoy videos and music with.

I never thought the N5 speaker was garbage... better than the S3s I had in every single way.

If you are rooted then install ViPer4Android. It so dynamically changes the sound quality you will wonder what all the *****ing is about. Check for the ViPer4Android thread in the Nexus 5 themes and apps section for how to install it. In that thread is a flash file that makes things a little easier. In my opinion Google should buy ViPer4Android and make it standard. I use it on all my Android devices.

My girlfriend's HTC One Mini has much better speakers than my N5. But my screen, processor, RAM, etc. are all much better. Depends what's most important to you. You could always use headphones
Google will push new speakers through an update soon BTW read the suggestions above.
Tested audio quality with earphones and without using Google music+equalizer and I can say that audio quality is GREAT.
Honestly after reading some users complains about audio quality I excepted it worse,but like for me,a music lover,it's great. :good:
So is it possible that I got a gimped one from the first order? Way back on release week.

Some nexus 5's had really low volume on the speaker. That's why people started drilling holes in it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Sometimes it just stops working for a few minutes. I think it just vibrates the prongs out of place. Is there a better one I can buy, or a tweak I can make so it stays more secure? Thanks.
If you think it's a hardware issue, you can send it in for repairs. You can also try flashing a different kernel and adjusting the vibrator intensity down so it doesn't jiggle the parts as much.
It's not a big enough deal for me to warrant sending it in honestly. I'm just wondering what tweaks are out there since I was pretty sure this was a common thing with the launch devices.
I'll ask my wife and get back to you
