Is it wrong to run your Nexus 5 vanilla? No,
More people do that now than ever, which is why there is a decrease in overall activity in the Android modding community.
There isn't that much left to improve and add other than aesthetics to most phones; at least not ones that run AOSP.
My Nexus 5 is stock, rooted, running on ART with Dalvik + Bionic flash and busybox.
All I really need.
Honestly sans low volume the phone can run pretty good stock.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm running stock. No unlocked bootloader, not rooted, 100% happy.

I have modded every phone I've ever had... but I feel like the Nexus 5 is the first phone I will not root. There is something about getting my updates from Google which makes me happy. I've been let down by carrier provided phones and finally, they are a thing of the past.
That's just gross bros. Stock ROM with no mods nor root ewwww I always thought the whole ideal of open source android and nexus was so the user could mod it. Isn't it why its incredibly easy to unlock the bootloader in this thing???its literally one piece of code lol u guys are silly willies. But whatever.

Most people don't want to deal with flashing new crap everytime something comes out and or losing their ESN and or bricking their device (very hard to do on a Nexus)
Me personally if the device is running like [email protected] ima root and custom rom it
If it an't broke, Don't fix it - 100% Stock nexus 5

I feel the same exact way. I used to root every Android phone I've ever owned but the Nexus 5 is an exception. It just works!
The only thing I wish is that the volume output is louder while playing music although I know it can be fixed if I decide to root.

I grabbed the Bright Red and it was manufactured in January and the speaker is quite loud. I was really shocked. Maybe your N5 didn't include the larger speaker holes?

I see. Thanks for the link. Wow, if they hardcoded 50% on the speakers, then it already has a pretty great speaker at 50% for my purposes. I haven't used it with speaker phone yet but it works decently with my Bluetooth headset.

I would take the nexus 5 over the g2. This seems like the longest ongoing argument in the Nexus 5 forums. There is a thread "g2 v nexus 5 I have both" but I stopped looking at it after like the second page because it was a useless thread that just makes you go what the hell. Nexus 5 will have the most support unless you are just going to buy it and slap CM on it. I think the g2 has a better speaker for listening to music but the Nexus 5 is easily fixed with a flash of a zip here and there. Camera wise I do not know. Remember nexus 5 is unlocked and is easystreet to root and unlock the bootloader. Make sure the g2 isn't carrier subsidized because it's a little more difficult to get through those phones, still can be done just not as easy as n5. :good:

Hi mate,
If you stick to Wifi and mobile data the whole day, 6-7 hours backup you will get :-|
Else with minimum usage of everything, it gives you a day backup
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I would definitely take the N5! I come from a LG G2 myself, but it just wasn't doing it for me.
The Nexus 5 just seems so much more professionally made - both hardware and software wise (mostly due to the lag of LG UI). It feels so much better in the hand.
I too was scared that I would be disappointed by the smaller battery in the N5, but I took the step because everything else would be so much better.
AND I LOVE MY NEXUS 5! I don't regret it one bit!
Luckily the battery didn't disappoint me at all. As you can see in another post of mine, it actually performs almost as well as the G2! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49901859&postcount=1822

6-7 hours backup? I just went over 3 days on a charge. Granted it wasn't heavy usage, but I'd say 3.5+ hours screen time over 3 days is pretty great. 100% stock unrooted mobile data on the whole time.

I actually don't use WiFi as I have unlimited data. In the past I found WiFi to cause more of a battery drain in standby, but most people will say WiFi uses less battery. I usually charge every 2 days with about 4 hours screen time.
Everyones use varies though, if you look in the battery life threads you'll find all kinds of different results. Some considerably better than mine, others much worse.

I get great battery even on WiFi. 3% battery loss all night.
Bare in mind I still had 1/3 of battery left at these screenshots. So based on them numbers I can get 2 full days at least with at least 6 hours of screen time.
This was at home pretty much all the time constantly connected to WiFi.

I'd pick the Nexus 5 if you either like to flash new stuff or want a phone that is updated for longer. If pure speed is your thing, I saw a comparison and the G2 was clearly faster.

By remote control are you meaning like vnc/remote desktop. If so that is a major killer on battery life.
Don't know why but every android device I have used with remote desktop seems to make it run at full throttle, get really warm then kill the battery.

If you're going to have it for 3-4 years, it should definitely be a nexus 5.
The ease of development on this device will allow smooth upgrades even after google drops support after its 18 month cycle.
Look at this:

This is a 4 year old device now. It runs kitkat, and personally as I've modified a friends nexus one to run this, it runs pretty decently enough.
Nexus man.

I don't understand why the Nexus 5 speakers are always called into question in threads like these. Am I the only one who thinks the stock speaker settings are just fine and are capable of reaching volumes high enough for me to never use?
Hi,
Trying to record an audio on my nexus (lecture for example) and having some issues with it.
I start record and then leave it with screen off for an about half hour or more (plenty of space for the file). when I start to listen to the audio that I recorded, the sound is not clear with gaps.
Checked the recorded audio on my PC also and still same result - awful sound with gaps.
It is not app related because I tried already 5 or more of them (apps that work great on my old HTC desire).
I'm using stock rom (4.4.2) with Franco kernel - without modifications to it.
Any suggestions ?
Its the microphone or rather, the noise cancellation algorithm. We're hoping the next update fixes it

Best you can do for now is ensure the build.prop has the below entries

1) phone hasn't even been out 4 months
2) they obviously didn't know the issue existed at release
3) what's your experience of writing noise cancellation algorithms that you know how long it takes?
4) if its "hardware", why has it taken "Google" as long as "8 months" to replace the microphone?
5) how come disabling the noise cancellation in build prop for phone calls removes the issue in phone calls if its hardware?
Believe what you want, but you have no more insight than anyone else and no evidence to suggest anything

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.

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.

You're labeling your phone defective because of a benchmark score?

If I'm analyzing the information you provided correctly, I'd say it's definitely defective. I recommend selling it on swappa and purchasing an iPhone.!.!???.!.!.!
No it is not defective.
If you go to the development sections and read the opening posts on the kernel threads....they usually list the features.
Research and reading are the XDA way!
Clearly read instructions before flashing anything of course.

Yes, but no one has been able to access it....like for double tap to wake that a lot of kernels have now. So dt2w and "always listening" are running off normal cores and keeping the phone awake....and costing pretty big battery loss.
The N5 has a pedometer on that core, where the X has active display and I believe always listening. No one has gained access to the low voltage core on either device. Its probably not doable without major code changes.

Well, there is absolutely no reason why "call quality" would go bad when held with a specific hand. The only reason it would ever happen is if something were to obstruct (or similar) the microphone.
