4.2.2 poor YouTube quality

Mine already set to high quality but I see some grainy picture compare to Netflix. Is there any solution on this?

If you tap the settings while playing a YouTube video, an option for HD & SD is available. Maybe you already know this but I thought I'd share.

Try 4.4.2 it's much better for our device

Selective Focus for Nexus 5 [request]

I was really impressed with Galaxy S5s selective focus mode. It would be amazing to have that feature on Nexus 5!

Any more info?

I have a similar request of this sort, maybe an app that can focus on a single object and blur out the background. Is such a thing possible for the nexus 5?

sure, i do it all the time on my nexus 5. get the object you want focused on in your screen, tap the image in your screen(touch to focus), shoot. your object will be in focus while everything else gets blurred.

Thanks mate

the closer that you are to the object, like a macro shot, the more blur you will get around, while the object in focus stays focused.

Look for tilt-shift functions.
CameraZoom FX has it for example.

PPSSPP settings for nexus 5

If some one uses this emulator please share some settings for colin mcrea 2005 plus and teken 6. Lags like crszy sometimes

I have no lag or hardly any. I just played around a little with the settings. If I play fft too long my phone gets hot and PSP app crashes. The photo shows some of my games.

I just cant find good settings, i manage to get good fps but i lost detail, trees are big blocks, and shadows are in wrong place

Some games take more playing with settings than others. One other thing it depends on the quality of the ROM. I had two versions of Armored Core. 1 version had some graphical errors and the other one was clean. Download the PC version just to make sure your roms work well.

[Q] Actually recording videos

Am I an idiot or is the only way to record a video is turning off the screen and then holding it landscape and hitting volume?
Whenever I hit the camera app while it is unlocked, it only gives me camera and selfie options. I can't find any video recorder shortcut.
This is on the latest firmware (after the OTA).

If you open the camera app. Tap the button in the lower right, you should see a page with options, one of which is video

There's no button in the lower right.
The button on the lower left only gives me selfie and camera.

That's not looking right to me. I've got a series of options on my camera that aren't showing there. Anything non stock in your ROM??

I just got the phone today and haven't done anything.

Back to the store I think, probably something wrong with the phone software, but if you haven't altered anything, they should just exchange it.

I figured out the problem.
It's cause I changed to the Google Now Launcher.
Can't believe the camera relies on BlinkFeed...
Is there any way to get around this? Or any other launchers that don't do this?

I'm using apex launcher, with a shortcut to activate blinkfeed, like it a lot, no issues with the camera or anything else that I've found. Glad you got it working.

Xperia Z2 style camera - is there an App?

My mate was showing me some photos the other day on his Sony Z2, the bit that impressed me the most was it would take a set of burst shots, then in the gallery, he could select those photos, and then it created a mini movie clip straight away (not sure what the feature was called)
Is there anything out there for the Nexus 5, that would be able to do this? My searches just take me to Z2 sites
This would be great for taking pictures of my kids out playing
