The Nexus 5 Thread

[valentinotan]

finally gotten the N5 last night from mustafa(LOL) price seems ok going at 439. wanted to get red initially but the red looks super washed out and more towards orange. in the end got black. took it home, following the guide on the previous page and installed lollipop! very smooth and fast phone. not much apps yet. still trying to figure out how to transfer my stuffs from the crap REDMI to N5. any places to get casing??

Lol, cannot compare 5.0 with 4.4.4. Kitkat is stable after so many updates. Lolli not 5.x.x
Give it some time, and yes over a night battery falls more than 50%. Shucks.

I'm going to try turning on airplane mode tonight before sleep.
"Priority" feature not much use too.

Is the design slowing down the performance of Nexus?

I remembered I can't find Spigen for N5 that's why I resort to buying in taobao. I got mine from 天猫淘宝。Shipping all to SG, only $25 authentic. I heard 50% of SG price but I haven't seen one myself.

woo. ok. does the casing work with tempered glass? cause some casings too tight will squeeze the tempered glass out. thanks for the info bro!

I meant I didn't see one Spigen for N5 in SG myself. Nope, the bundled didn't come with glass, but tempered glass you can get less than $10 (taobao also). My slim armor fits well for tempered glass (0.25). Any thicker than 0.25mm I'm not sure. I waited for 2 weeks tota. N5 screen glass quite tough also, no worries.

Slim armor is bit heavy. Because it's slightly bulky, I hold it quite tightly

 

[valentinotan]

heavy is fine i guess. because if not too light also dont know if theres anything in the pocket. alright. time to taobao! thanks alot bro!

Received the notification to update my N5 to Lollipop this morning. Updated and the N5 feels like a whole new phone now. Super speedy compared to Kitkat when it was already not bad.

Just got prompt for the OTA and updated. Chrome browser in version 5 more troublesome to change tab..

you can disable the feature to merge tabs, you know? pulling down and swiping tabs on the tab-icon is as per usual.

Weren't you prompted for your preference the first time you launched Chrome after upgraded to lollipop? I was prompted to choose my setting when I launched Chrome the first time after the upgrade.
