The Nexus 5 Thread

[tjeeyang26]

Yeap I've noticed a white smidge trapped at the lower left of my phone already. Ah well.

also notice the super small gap between the glass and the rims seems to trapped all the dust in my pocket

I reccommend an everyday object to solve this problem. A toothbrush Those with fine bristles will work wonders

If anyone wants to get Google Play Music, all you need is US VPN and a US Google account (with US address). Then just use the VPN to access music.google.com and activate your account. You won't need VPN to access or upload your music once you've activated.

For free US VPN, can check out toyvpn.com

it's not random, its for the credit card issuer to raise the red flag that the address is improper back to google when they submit their request for floating payment.

following that, google will void the order since they cant ensure if their payment request will be allowed

some banks did in fact call up the card owner to verify the transaction , therefore the it went thru a valid transaction.

So end up is depends on which bank you use lor

u bought US set since i no need LTE...

sharing shipping cost with a friend...

so my total net cost for shipping a 32gb Nexus 5 is SGD567.

 

[skylines]

Top up 50 SGD can buy 32gb N5 from Jap (with LTE), IMHO much more worth it to future proof yourself, when the LTE speeds & coverage can only get better (hopefully) in the coming years.

I don't think got retail anywhere in the world.

wah damn it so still have to do the ordering online when he reaches JPN... but ship to dont-know-where

That's great. I called vPost they said my package is in Singapore but it's in the processing center and it's only the third day. The earliest i will get it is on Thursday. The tracker on the vPost website shows out for delivery. The tracking status is really pathetic. The courier will pick it up from the processing center and directly send it to me. If there is no answer, they will send it to the nearest Post Office.

it's not in my plan for the next year to upgrade to a LTE plan..i am still using grandfathered 3G plan of 12GB...most LTE plan offer too little data for my consumption......some will say 3 or 4gb per month is enough...i consumed on average 6GB per month...so the paltry data offered by LTE is not enough for me...

plus, my grandfathered plan i pay less than 45 per month......you can't beat that price and that much data for a LTE plan...

and most importantly....those that saw my past post will know...i have all iterations of nexus phones since nexus one...so nexus 5 at most only last me for one year before i change again next year to whatever that's hot.....so 'future proofing' no point for me for a device that i am going to use for only 1 year max

My battery life so far, on stock ROM/Kernel, unlocked bootloader, rooted:

Surfing and whatsapp/Line/SMS

Charging again, not going to deplete the batt till <20% coz i nv bring out portable charger, and dont know what time i can go home

Need to top up at least $70 for LTE set.

But hor, i think easier to sell off an LTE phone next year

My ex-Jap 32GB Nexus 5 just delivered to me by vPost. It was received in Japan on Nov 7; so it took 3 business day to deliver to me - pretty good service, as far as I am concerned. I have used vPost several times before (ex-USA) and I knew I had to be patient (their track & trace system is quite hopeless); and that the shipment will arrive in good time and in good condition.

I STILL have my nexus one till now nexus 4 (and soon nexus 5)...

yes, i never sell phones......so no point for me also in regards to re-sale value...

 

[daniel_83]

those who say no need LTE is just defending themselves

LTE is FASTER and coverage is everywhere liao
~7mbps VS ~60mbps speed

maybe you are still on the 12gb 3.5G plan, but how long can u siam?
eventually also will be LTE
