I got 2 US Version Nexus 5, on my 12G, Singtel Value (Equivalent) plan SIM, plug into phone..work out of box.


Another Singtel SIM, on the obsolete classic plan + 1 GB data. during setup, which took long time to activate the mobile plan, then skipping the step. after full setup ( including OTA patching of new FW). After setup complete, the phone could not connect to 3G..it just connected without data.

Plugging the same SIM(Classic plan) back to Nexus 4, data/vioce works perfectly..


Pulling my hair..dont know what went wrong, calling Singtel..there are trying to reset the line for me..keeping finger crossed on whether resetting the line will make it work. I just want normal 3G to work

Trying another M1 3G mobile broadband SIM..it works out of box as well.

7 hours + SOT is almost impossible FYI. It is almost like just keeping the screen on and doing nothing with it.

No case for me, just screen protector

I seconded this. Naked feels goooooood~ But using black, so the matte surface is a finger-print magnet.

Using franco's kernel now, battery life seems pretty solid.

Anyway, how you all sustain the battery life? Drain it to 0 all the way? And if charging, do you let it go all the way to 100%?

[KERNEL] [GPL] [N5] franco.Kernel - r14 - Page 345 - xda-developers this one, although he never mention what he did but still pretty amazing

never drain battery to 0, once a month is ok

Anyone tried rooting their phone using Wugfresh toolkit?

Can't seem to get the RSA fingerprint window to pop up on my screen. Can't detect ADB. Anyone?

when its locally released, nfcezlink will test this product for support.

so far, i think it should work.

but ezlink cannot use to replace transportation ezlink yet.. only for retail payment..
