[Q] GPS Specifications - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Nexus 5 is a new phone so I'm not surprised I can't find the details online butttttt
What is the GPS engine update rate in Hz or mS?
What is the distance tolerance?
Obviously in good weather conditions conditions for the Nexus 5. I just bought one and I'm interested in making an app that was not possible with my old phone HTC Desire Bravo.
I don't have mine phone yet and I can't test it myself for at least another week.

[Q] HTC One X vs Nexus

Hi guys,
not sure if I should post this here
The Galaxy Nexus is out in South Africa and I wanted to buy it but then I came across the HTC One X (I loved my HD2 but I hated my Sensation so I got a Note that I loved but it's just a bit big for me)
The Nexus looks really good. But I would like the Quad core and Tegra 3 chip but seems that HTC made another bad phone? I don't want to hassle with a lagging phone or freezing applications.
Which phone is the most stable and comparing it in a few ways, the best?
Comparing like Menu Speed (and not stock vs stock but rather some applications and emails and so on), the GPU vs GPU and so on?
I did look at some reviews and looks like the Nexus has a better camera even if it's just 5mp but the LCD seems better on the HTC...
Both are (or at least will be) good phones. The thing to remember with the One X is that it has only been out just over a week and it has and will have some bugs. HTC are usually pretty good with their support for new ROM releases so I'm sure it will become the flagship handset it deserves to be in a short time
Had both handsets overall prefer one x definitely for the following
reasons.
Looks, design and build one x superior and lighter.
Camera one x again. In some conditions I found nexus pretty poor in comparison.
Browser one x.
Phone calls one x.
Email one x.
Screen prefer one x.
Battery life one x, nexus was very bad.

lol... not in South Africa man
even if I browse their website to check for product support on the One X it doesn't work hahahaha...
Well stable would be the galaxy nexus however that's because the one x has a few issues here and there but all software issues which are being worked on and will be fixed in the upcoming patch, unfortunately HTC are being annoying and won't give us an eta, long-term wise one x is what you should go with hope this helps

I'd recommend you try and find somewhere to have a look at them both. I was in the same position as you but after comparing the screens side by side I decided to get the HTC one x. Personally I think the screen is probably one of the most important features of a smartphone.
i also been having a hard time choosing a phone even after having the one x and a couple of replacements i still going to keep this beauty...it will still hold it 's value and it is overall one beautiful phone to have
The HTC OneX beats the Galaxy Nexus in almost all categories (except timely updates).
What you have to keep in mind is it's better to get a phone with crappy software than crappy hardware since software can be fixed while hardware is unchangeable. I'm not saying the Galaxy Nexus have crappy hardware, it's just that the OneX has better hardware overall: better screen, better processor, better GPU, better storage, better camera.
Also, the software on the OneX is not crappy too. It's fairly wonderful actually, I got to play around with a unit and found no lag in the UI. It's the most fluid phone I've ever used.
I hate you all hahahahha
I wanted the HTC One X but after seeing this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3a2s9xRbK0
Decided I'll take the Nexus but now it's all back to 50/50 hahaha
Spec wise the One X wins hands down. I don't mind some issues on the software side but HTF can they show 2x 30th on a calendar lolz...
I had the sensation and loved the phone until I started downloading applications and games and a lot of emails. The phone started getting really slow when opening emails or sms or anything else. Can someone please comment on this (someone who has loads of mails and sms'e and so on)
Think I'll take the One X and if I don't like it I should be able to trade it for a Nexus.
@Jac83 - Not really a lot of places that display's the real unit. We usually get dummy phones and have to look at it that way Some shopping centers does have the phones but only certain times so think I'll wait till the 7th and try to go to a place to view it

The laggy emails and sms? I've got loads of emails and SMS and of course there comes a time when it lags a bit. What I do is I empty the cache in the browser. My SMS never lags.
I'm currently using a 1GHZ Sony Xperia Neo, stock rom.
Get the OneX, you won't regret it

Try and see another Samsung with the AMOLED screen then if you can, because I found that I really didn't like it and that was a clear answer to which one to buy!
Well I have decided about 80% on the HTC again
Has anyone had issues with the flicker bug:

never had the flicker bug and i do not want to try and see if i have that. i had two handsets already and i am on my third one. it is a beautiful phone to have and i would highly recommend it to you. what i would suggest to you is get the handset from a network company or a dealer that if you have any faults with it that you can send it back straight away. i am now on my third one and loving it. so i hope you enjoy it if you decide to go with it in the end

I well get it on our Vodacom service provider. They have a 7 day policy. If there's any issues with the phone within 7days then they will give you a brand new unit. If it's older then 7days and I get an issue they will have to send it in for repairs or replacement depending on what HTC says (but this will take weeks in South Africa)
On your 3rd. Dam doesn't sound good. Why if I may ask?
Can you perhaps give me some idea or checklist that I can do to make sure there's nothing wrong with the phone because 7 days isn't a lot lol

sure. the problems i had were very minor to what others have been encountering but here it goes.
first was the rattling noise. even though it is not that big of a deal and not normally shaking my phone, knowing it is there did my head in.
second slight little gap were the power button was. again stick a cover over it and would of been ok. and i mean case not cover..but still knowing it is there would bug me.
third and this happened on my second phone power button became loose. so now on my third one. will say that all three times i considered going to the galaxy nexus. but i am sticking with my current one as it is working ok now and so far it feels more solid than my other two previous ones.
regarding a list of issues to look out for. look for flickering issues with grey backgrounds. ehh again the rattling noise(which should not be a big issue really), make sure that screen is not creaking and not have any gaps and so on.
head over to the htc one x general forum and you will see loads of threads there with known bugs and issues which should help you out on what to look out for

check the above one
Cool tx man
htc one x screen is brighter den galaxy nexus.. when i touch the phone for the first time.. its screen really amazed me..
I am in the exact situation to you in that I went from Sensation to the Note which I love and am still keeping but I could live with something smaller for day to day tasks.
Its One X vs Nexus vs SGS3 vs other upcoming 4.7" screens.
I suspect I will wait for the SGS3 announcement, find I am underwhelmed and get a cheap second hand nexus.
If you are paying the same price for both then get the One X.

Nexus 5 for $35?

Should I get the Nexus 5 as my upgrade from Sprint for just $35? Just wanting to know if it is worth it, I have the 2013 HTC One and it get's hot whenever I use it, really hot. Does the nexus 5? Thanks!
The nexus 5 doesent get that hot I guess it depends on what you do with me it almost never gets hot if you are a hardcore it will get hot but the HTC one gets really hot because it s made out of metal my main complaint with the iPhone

Same here, but only on 3g. I cannot tell anything about LTE/4G, because I have to pay extra money for that network which I do not want to. On wifi the phone stays icecold.

Nexus 5 is not only Hot in appearances and by its style but it is also Hot when I
1. Using and browsing internet more than 1 hour.
2. Charging it more than 3 hours.
3. Clicking pictures continuously more than 1 hour.
4. Playing Games.
5. On call more than an hour.
Etc..:crying:
yeah mine gets pretty bloody hot after using it continuously for like an hour.

Pretty much all phones that I have used get hot when I'm gaming, browsing, taking pictures continuously etc...
What I don't understand is why people make a big fuss about it? It's not like it will melt your skin...
If you're rooted, you can use custom kernels to increase throttling but then people will complain that the phone lags.. Lol.
Temperatures ranging between 45-60 are pretty normal and especially when your living in hot places where the room temperature is 25-30*c
Just use your device and forget about the temperatures!

I'm experiencing pretty much none of that. My N5 only gets hot if I'm doing any CPU intensive gaming. Which I pretty much never do. No issues while browsing or anything else.
To OP. If you're unhappy with your One the N5 is a great phone. Differences to note tho: Sense. If you like it a lot then you will miss it. Speakers. There is no comparison between the speakers on the One and the N5.
Also, the carrier N5's are all 16Gb as far as I know. So be sure that it will be enough storage for you.
I'm incredibly happy with my N5
Um how about 120 degrees while sitting in the car browsing with chrome, for like 20 minutes? My phone has hit a max of 127 degrees.
Get the nexus 5 but not with sprint they suck. I cant wait till The end of may to go get AT&T. But it does get kind of hot sometimes but not so hot you have to put it down lol.
A device with a body made of metal alloys is ALWAYS going to feel warmer during strenuous operation than a device body fabricated out of plastic or composite materials. Mostly, that is a good thing, for both the device internals & battery life. Metal is a better conductor than plastic & also has a lower "R" value. These factors serve to allow the metallic device to better dissipate the energy transferred to heat, away from the device & into the cooler ambient air. While the exterior of the device may be warmer, the interior components are often cooler & they definitely cool down faster when they do heat up than they would in a plastic bodied device.
As to the question itself. The Nexus 5 can & does heat up like any other device & how noticeable it is, depends on how you use the device. Again, you will not notice the heat as much, but the internals of the device will. The Nexus 5 itself is a worthy device, tho I am using mine less & less as I find more to like about my new HTC M8. I am certain that you could probably find the Nexus 5 online for nearly any carrier for free, if not close. While I am a Nexus 5 fan, you just don't get the same quality in the Nexus line that you do with other flagship devices. GPS drift can be horrible on the Nexus 5 & I don't mean just from my experiences. I belong to a large Ingress group, many of whom use the Nexus 5, nearly all of them suffer from horrible GPS drift frequently. The M8 on the other hand, has been rock steady, gives me better AT&T 4G LTE signal & just all around rocks. HTC isn't providing a free, one time, 6 month screen replacement garuntee because the device is haphazardly thrown together partially based on the lowest bidder to mee the specification outlined by Google. Also, just know the the Nexus 5 battery is mediocre at best & without a lot of trial & error (& some help from Flar2's ElementalX) you are lucky to see 3 & 1/2 hours of screen on time. I was able to get it out to 5 & 1/2 hours, but again, it took a lot of tinkering & thankfully there was a solid kernel with good source available to build from.
One last thing. While you will benefit from regular software updates (which HTC has also made a part of their HTC Advantage program, not too mention they took Google's queue & started releasing modular updates in the form of Play Store service update packs) remember that in 6 months or so, the Nexus 6 will be out. At that time, based on Google's revised support schedule, you could potentially stop seeing updates on the Nexus 5 about 6 months after release. Now I don't expect that to happen, however, if the reports are true, it could, since it sounds like Google is wanting to go away from the Nexus program & stick primarily to GPe devices.
I don't think you'll be disappointed with the N5, but it just isn't the same type of quality as the HTC M7 or M8. Plus, now that there are GPE devices for both HTC models, converting to a GPe device that benefits from a Nexus-like update program is a simple thing.
At any rate, just some food for thought. I loved my N5, but I wouldn't buy it again today. At the end of last year, or even in January or February 2014, maybe, but not now. While you cannot go wrong with the QC SnapDragon 800, the Nexus 5 is primarily lower binned chips & the new 801 takes the same performance & enhances battery life. With only an additional 300mah, right out of the box I was getting nearly 6 hours of screen on time from the M8.

Is the Nexus 5 worth it?

Hi everyone ,
I am a longtime nexus user and my nexus 4 completely died out on me , and was wondering if the nexus 5 is still worth buying or if I should just buy the nexus 6. Does the nexus 5 still perform decently or does it have any performance problems similar to the 2012 Nexus 7? Screen size does not really matter to me, however the one thing was concerning me was that a lot of people report the nexus 5 as having a bad battery?
Does anyone know where would be the best/cheapest place to buy a Nexus 5? Thanks!
I brought my Nexus 5 16gb from my local CEX store for £165 and couldn't be happier its an amazing phone and after putting CyanogenMod 12 on it it's just amazing,fast and battery is good too ?
Worth it
The nexus 5 has a relatively physically small battery yes
Most people who report battery issues have literally no idea how to troubleshoot what is actually using the battery.....
Equally you won't read the equivalent number of threads who say they are satisfied with the battery. This is because the internet is for complaining....
It also mainly depends on how you use the device and what you define as 'good' battery life. The same logic applies to any device really.
Anyway personally I think it's still a solid device in terms of size, speed and value

i do not know my friend, im from philippines and the nexus 5 is still available from a trusted online store here in my country.
I currently own an iPhone 5s and have been a heavy iPhone user since the iPhone 3G. I was given the opportunity to get a 32 GB Nexus 5 for free from a friend who was sent two by Google for whatever reason last week. In the little time I have owned the Nexus 5 and not yet knowing the ropes behind it all, I can honestly say this is one of the best phones I have ever used. I surprisingly found the build quality to be way above what I expected, the software is amazing (it's the first Android device I have ever properly used) and the features that the phone has blew me away considering it is almost two years old. I mean, iPhone hardware upgrades nowadays offer a slight performance increase and higher resolution. I could never justify paying for an iPhone outright, but with the Nexus 5, I have no qualms about doing just that. I am seriously considering a more permanent switch to the Nexus 5 for the time being as it continues to meet my expectations. The only "issue" if you could call it that would be the battery issue that you may see arise every now and then. Whilst the Nexus 5 isn't the best when it comes to battery longevity, there are a range of things that you can do to mitigate it as much as possible to benefit you. After reading through a few topics it will not be a huge +10 hours, but any gain is a good gain right?
Of course my personal experience with phones in general isn't vast so my opinions can only really be between the iPhone and my short use of the Nexus 5, but before the iPhone I mainly used Nokia phones. The speed is quick (I don't like cluttered phones and pointless apps that you will not use often), it does everything I need it to and it's given me much more sway to using Google's suite and programs with the same (if not better) ease of use to Apple's suite. At least a lot more than I used to. I have been using Gmail since it started when the only way to obtain an account was via an invitation.
You will not be disappointed. And after using Nexus phones before you pretty much understand the way the phone works already. Whilst I'm a big fan of using the latest and best hardware/software, I cannot really speak for the Nexus 6. As for availability, there are a few places here in Australia that still stock the phone. It will just take a bit of looking around. Happy to help if it ends up being your handset of choice.

It depends on your preferences. Do you root, use custom roms etc? Is price a factor? In comparison to the nexus 4 it is an upgrade in all aspects.
Regarding your questions, there are no performance issues, the nexus 5 is a beast. It is faster than all other nexus devices nexus 4, 7, 7 (2013), with the exception of the nexus 6. Better screen, better camera and relatively better battery than the nexus 4. I get 3 to 4 hours of sot on 3g and 4 hours+ sot on WiFi (stock lollipop 5.1). In comparison, the nexus 4 would be dead in a couple of hours on 3g.
On the other hand, if software updates are not critical for you, there are other good value for money phones, like the lg g2, g3, sony z3 compact and motox 2. All these phones cost 350 euro or lower in my country, each with plusses and minuses.
Personally, I went from a nexus 4 to a nexus 5 recently and I don't regret it one bit.

The battery life is terrible. Other than that, it's pretty good. Just don't pay full retail for it. I would pay full retail price in November 2013 but not in 2015

Phone Recommendation Please

Good Evening Everyone,
I am really struggling to pick a new phone and would love some suggestions please. My key needs from a phone are:
> A decent battery (I need it to last at least a full day and I do have alot running on my phone)
> Screen size 5" to 5.6" (preferably 5.5")
> Fast, responsive and decent ram
> Ideally like a MicroSD slot however as long as it was 64GB internal I don't need a slot
> Bluetooth / Wi-Fi / GPS
> Sleek Design
Features I would love but could probably learn to live without:
> Wireless charging (or ability to buy a pad to convert it to Wireless Charging)
> Fast Charging
> NFC
> Multi-Colored Notification LED
> 5Ghz Wi-Fi
Anything else is a bonus. I use my phone alot for emails ( 6 email accounts on it) quite a bit of instant messaging, I have some apps that monitor my servers/services as well as using it to receive critical alarms hence why battery power is essential to me. Also when on the road connected via BT to my car I use it for calling and spotify streaming to cars audio system and lastly I have a heap load of IT tools that I use day in day out for my job.
Previous Phones:
Current
Samsung Galaxy S4 (second hand) - Battery is absolutly crap doesn't last half a day so constantly on charge otherwise very good
Samsung Galaxy S3 - Absolutely loved this phone had it for about 2 years until it accidentally slipped of my car cradle onto the ground and smashed. I also had an extended battery that last me three days.
HTC Desire (original) - Again absolutely loved this device apart from one day the screen split all the way down when it was sitting on a table not being used and noone was around. HTC claimed it had been dropped and charged me over £100.
HTC HD2 (Leo) - Was very pleased with this phone and later on modified it to run Android as a backup phone.
HTC HD (Blackstone) - Very pleased with it
HTC Touch Diamond - Very pleased with it
Nokia 3650 - No idea why I had this! lol
The phones I am currently looking at are:
Samsung Galaxy S5 - Getting a bit old now would like something newer but its a possibility
Samsung Galaxy S6 - The battery seems a bit weak on this and has me worried
Samsung Galaxy S7 - Very expensive and past my budget really but a lovely handset Think this is probably what I would go for if I had the budget
OnePlus 2 - Seems great apart from the features its lacking
OnePlus 3 - Anyone reckon this could be coming soon and might be worth waiting for?
Google Nexus 6P - Its a bit too big
Google Nexus 5X - Battery slightly on the weak side perhaps?
Oppo R7s - Don't know much about this brand and lacks slightly on features
Can anyone please help advice? Even if its not a phone on that list have you got an idea that will grab my attention? Really really struggling here never had to think so hard about which phone I want!
How about... How about... A Xiaomi RedMi Note 2/3? It's a 5,5" screen, has a big battery, microSD card slot, Bluetooth, WiFi & GPS work "normally" & it has a sleek design [emoji1]
P.S. It isn't that expensive as the other phones you listed

Undecided between HTC 10 & Nexus 6P

I have LG G4 for almost 5 months and sick of it.
After all the new phones that came out, i have come to decision my next phone will be or the Nexus 6P or the new HTC 10.
Only problem is, not sure which one. HTC is my fav only because of build quality and i already know how great they are. ( Had HTC One M8 before the G4)
And I'm afraid of unknown or known issues with the Nexus 6P mostly because of Huwaiwi or whatever the name is..
I'll be glad for help, camera is very important as well as speakers.
had been using the nexus 6p for almost a week now.... built quality is good, camera and speakers are really good..... size is big though.... only problem with nexus 6p is sd810. if amoled screen , stock android and guaranteed regular updates are not much important for you, then you should get the htc 10, very powerful phone
get the HTC 10
the problem of Nexus 6P is
1- SD 810 issues are very well known.
2- the glass around the camera can be cracked easily.
I have used the HTC M8 before & the updates really fast & performance is perfect for HTC smartphones ......plus the HTC 10 camera are really good

To be honest i don't really understand the difference between the amoled and lcd.
I only know that amoled is better, but I've seen that the nexus 6p amoled screen isn't that great, from revivews they say that in the sun you can barely see anything. Can you confirm that?
Of course that stock android is important for me, that's one of the reasons i want the Nexus, but the sense is also very good.
Overall i think the Nexus will be my choice, mostly because he is cheaper, and the pure android experiment.
If anyone else can say something about these two it would be great.

SD 810 is surely a bummer.. I thought that because the Nexus is a pure android, the sd 810 is ok to live with. Guess i were wrong.
About n. 2 - well that's a risk i guess every phone have that way or another.
Anyway I'll put a case on the phone.
I also had the M8 for almost a year and a half. Really loved it. The problem is that in my country HTC doesn't have so much support, not much people know about them. I bought the phone back then for 700$ and sold it for 250$. That's sucks..
