[Q] Nexus 5 or 6? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I am moving from VZW to ATT and I am unsure if I should just get the Nexus 5 or wait till the 6 is released? I am a fan of larger phones (Note 2, 3). Not sure if I should just wait it out or jump right in?
Thanks all,
BillyBrickz

questions go into the q&a section, not general. ask a mod to move your thread please. anyways, the n6 hasn't been released yet, and everything is all rumor about it. do your question can't really be answered yet. but really, if you want a larger than a n5 size screen device, then wait. if not, buy a nexus 5.

Wait until the Nexus 6 is out and there are good reviews to look at. If possible, go to a store and try one out for yourself. Only then purchase if it meets your needs.

if you want screen just go with nexus 6.ne mobile could come near tothis for atleast two years.but if you want roms and other development it would get a lot of time.I think nexus 5 is best leave the screen but with all roms and everything its the best

guys,
is the nexus 5 still one of the best phones available? i realize there are a new bunch of flagships out and am wondering if i should pick up a cheap nexus 5 or go big with the moto x 2014? i love the customization of roms and kernels the nexus brings to the table but am concerned about buying a phone that's a year old almost. any help/insight?

Will AT&T ever get this device?

I'm sorry if this has been discussed. Will AT&T ever get this device? If not where is the best place to purchase an unlocked GSM version of it? Thank You!
Pretty sure you could buy the AT&T version from Best Buy for ages now.
*edit* July of last year in fact.

its not that bad of a question. If you live some place where Best Buy isn't or just ignore that inglorious box of blue stained diaper filler you'd not know that the i9020A was available there.
That said, having gone from a Captivate to a Nexus S myself, you might want to sit on your wallet for a bit and wait for the Galaxy Nexus to finally come to AT&T. I made the leap knowing that the captivate and nexus S are more or less the same hardware only because I knew the Galaxy Nexus was going to be uncomfortably large in my hands.
From an Android standpoint, a captivate with Cyanogen or some other AOSP based ROM will work and act like a Nexus S. Only real reason to move is if you want AOSP without having to work for it
The NS was never available at an AT&T store but only at Best Buy. This is why there is no AT&T branding as it really isn't a AT&T "supported" phone.

Galaxy Nexus 7, should i get it?

Hello
Im looking to get a tablet and iv noticed that the Galaxy Nexus 7 tablet seems to get some pretty good feedback, and the price seems very nice.
I will most likely use the tablet to watch movies, play games, do school work and surf on the nett a bit.
Can someone confirm it is a good tablet for my use?
Thanks =)

Yes, yes, yes. Got one for work demo purposes and love it. Going to get one for personal use as well I reckon.
The voices in my head are telling me to buy one, £200 for a tablet with those specs is a bargain, but my wife is telling me no
So far she's winning, but if it had 3G I'd give my works crappy ipad3 back and get myself a nexus7
Yeah, get one .
Nexus 7 is awesome , meanwhile, you can consider Galaxy Note 10

Don't listen to your wife! :laugh: Nothing good ever came out of listening to your wife / girlfriend.
Be advised...it is not a GALAXY Nexus 7. Galaxy is a Samsung trademark. The tablet is made by Asus. It is just a Nexus 7.
Unless you can get one of the older tablets for much cheaper, N7 is best deal by far.
It is not called GALAXY Nexus 7

What new phone should i get?

So i kind of fell out of the phone loop after my One X was stolen and had to use my POS Samsung Infuse. My taxes are coming in and i want to get a new phone again. I been debating on the Nexus 4 because the specs look pretty beefy and the reviews have been good, plus i like the ascetic to it. I'm just leery about it since LG doesn't have the greatest track record on phone since the G2x was a HUGE disappointment to me and the HTC G1 and G2 where my favorite all time phones. So in a nutshell, what phone would you suggest and why (also i don't want a note to, i don't like the size of it. 4.7-4.8 is perfectly fine for me.) But thanks in advance.
N4. G2x wasn't a nexus so a lot of stuff wasn't open source. That's why it was a mess. I still miss my g2x tho
JellyB-TSM v16 / Apex Pro

It was a decent phone but it was way too buggy even if you flashed a new rom like Weapon. But like in said the reviews look great the only discerning thing is LG's track record and I don't want to wait weeks for it it. Plus I'm not sure if any decent phones are coming out in Q1 or Q2. I'm not going to get the S4 just because of how fast they come out and people jump ship to the new flagship Galaxy S phone.

Try Sony xperia s
DONT FORGET TO HIT THANKS.......
R: What new phone should i get?
I'm actually thinking of upgrade to an xperia Z. It will be worldwide released soon. It gas awsome specs falso if for some a bit old(the processor) but it is dust proof and waterproof. And last but notte least Sony already released his kernel sources, so there will be really good developing!!!

This phone is very old man! Development is definitely above average. I would suggest a different phone though as it's outdated and you have much better alternatives. Look for moto g or moto g2(if you can wait)
I will buy this phone because is at $100 dollars and Moto G is at $200.
An underrated classic
I have mine rooted, tweaked and overclocked to 1333 mhz. It's Antutu benchmarking at 13611 which is faster than many medium grade phones coming out now. I also picked up the lapdock from eBay for 60 and ever since I've not been relying on my laptop for writing, emailing, watching movies or surfing the Web ever since. As soon as there is compelling reason I imagine I'll try upgrading to kitkat but it's running so smooth fast and solidly now I'm afraid to risk it. Be advised however, the kitkat and jellybeans ROMs break the HDMI function I. E. Lapdock-ability.

You will run into battery issues which is not a happy thing when you buy a new phone. Seriously, even though the hardware is still good, the age of the phone is more than 3 years. It was made for android 2.3... and barely got ICS update officially. There should be better investment for $100.
I finally buy a Moto G in my country (Chile) for $150

Real or fake?

Oooh. I don't know but it looks legit. Though has some errors.
Like a Xperia device with an HTC look?
And it wouldn't be called nexus 4 like you said in the title.
I agree its a head scratcher... Id buy one though ?

Sorry to correct you but the new nexus device could very well be call the nexus 4 2015 but it would more than likely not be made by Sony it would be by Motorola again because each company that google goes with it seems that they let that company make 2 phones then they move on as for it being called the nexus 4 2015 there has been a lot of talk that it will be called the nexus 4 2015 and or the nexus 5 2015 just like the 2 nexus 7s also it would not be coming out until 2016 but that's my though on the date but it could come out this year though not until October or later

Nah i think googles endgame is to cycle through as many quality OEMs as possible, ingraining android and also forcing the companies to perform under its own quality standards. Each company thats made a google device has subsequently reached new heights. Asus and LG are making excellent stuff nowadays. I own a TF701 and its the best 10 inch tablet in existence for me.
