Is there a way to turn the screen of while mirroring via HDMI? The app "Screen Standby" doesn't work. Unfortunately.
Any advice is welcome.

The screen standby app sort of works for me ... enough for me to keep using it at least.... basically on my nexus 5 the normal screen off method doesn't work I have to use the one two dim method and the screen stays off for good
So currently i have it setup like this :
Auto HDMI detection > starts timer when i plug slimport in
lasts about 10-15 seconds ( enough time for me to setup my app etc )
screen turns off

This app uses your phone's motion, gravity, and proximity sensors to automatically turn on and off your screen so that you don't have to press any keys (software or hardware).
For instance, when I put my S4 inside my pocket or holster it to my belt clip, the screen turns off automatically. When I take the phone out, the screen turns on automatically as well.
I've tried a few apps similar to this before but this one just works very well and consistently.
I already installed it on my mom's and wifey's S2s and they love it too~! Just wanted to share the goodness~
Wow it is pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing. .

No problem. I figured there must be others who will find this kind of app convenient to have around. I just love not having to press the home or power button every time I want to turn the screen on.
Any hit on battery performance?

The author of the app said to expect a hit about 5%. I've been using it for 2 days now and I haven't noticed any difference so far. But then, I'm running on the ktoonsez kernel with -50mV, all-around.
Freekin love this app
Thanks for the heads up op! works like a charm, now I've got to get used to not pressing my power key on wake

Sweet app....I noticed I had to lower the sensitivity while my phone was in my mount while driving. The screen kept coming on.
Nice catch. Love this app.
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks for the find!

Very nice find, bought the pro version right away, this is awesome but does anyone knows if there's something you can do so when you put your phone face up on the table it lock it without waiting 5 secs?

The only time the screen turns off on me when I don't want it to is when I text and I accidentally rest one of my fingers over the proximity sensor by mistake. Otherwise, it's been good. I wish there was a time-delay option for proximity sensor to turn off the screen so an accidental finger covering up the proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen right away.

I see. It's an extra step but you could pull down the notification menu and pause the app before gaming then turn it back on afterwards. My mom tells me that sometimes when she's watching Netflix, the screen turns off on her. I told her not to cover up the sensor but she just disabled the app.

According to GSam battery monitor, Gravity Screen Off is responsible for only 0.2% battery drain. I haven't noticed any extra drain because of this app.
It seems to support voice commands, but will it work from sleeping mode?

I have read so many posts about this thing so I can't remember the source. What I did see was a screen shot about having to be at your Home Screen or in Google Now before the voice activation works. Going only on this it would appear that the X still has a advantage with touchless control.
The Nexus 5 page says you have to be on the home screen.

Indeed it does say "When on your home screen" but it DOESN'T say it won't work from sleep mode, or?
I'm not sure how accurate it is, but:

I'm hoping as people in the US begin to get their Nexus 5, they will be able to confirm this 100%. Currently it seems that the Nexus 5 does NOT get woken up like the Moto X - "Ok Google" only works with a NON-Secure/Slide Lockscreen and ONLY on the Homescreen/Google Now.
Hoping we are all wrong
I have mine (UK - Carphone Warehouse purchased this morning) and OK Google does nothing at all whether on the lock screen, sleep or home screen.
Sad.

+Ryan Yakus Google Now has a dedicated home screen (one swipe to the left). The Nexus 5 also listens for you to say "OK Google Now."
(A caveat on that "always listening" thing -- that feature is disabled if you have lock screen security enabled and you have to unlock the phone before it will listen for your voice.)

Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

Ok Google only works from the home screen on 4.4.x versions of android, the moto x has a special always listening function built by moto as well a chip that has low battery usages that allows for the active listening function anytime. Its probably possible for the nexus 5 to do the same but it would drain the $h1t out of the battery.
In moto x it called the "active display".. In which the phone always listening thru its mic. If somehow our nexus 5 can have this feature would be awesome..
Sent from my Nexus 5 via XDA Premium HD
No, this is not possible as we do not have the same chipset as the Moto X.
utter! has "always listening even when screen is off" functionality (and much more).

Active Display is actually a notification feature that shows you what notifications you have while you're screen is off. It powers on your screen while you're phone is locked to show you notifications periodically. This feature was developed for the amoled screen that the moto x has since that type of display can light up individual pixels and not the whole screen to save battery. But active display has been ported by a few different custom roms now like Omni.

Without installing an App with the "always listening" feature it is not possible.
There are Apps for that.
Open Mic+ is a good one. Use it myself.

1) Use some battery saver or so .
2) If that doesnt work call flipkart or from wherever you have taken it and ask them to replace it

Lower screen brightness to the loswest setting and disable google app data sync. Then also disable wifi/Data when you arent using it. Make sure you often clear recent apps and try an app like clean master.
