You might want to post the model and colour you're looking for.

Bill Tan has the standard S-case and screen protectors already. Their matte one absolutely wrecks the quality of the screen through. I got one installed and immediately had them switch it to the clear.

I figure wireless charging is a great idea since all devices I have that use USB or microUSB have developed poor connectors that constantly disconnect when nudged.

No sorry.

I went there today to get the clear one, yet the fit was ridiculously bad. They said that they will get a better batch in a couple weeks.
How was the fit for yours?

Hmm. Not digging the battery life. I hope it improves over the next few days otherwise I'm switching to the note 3.

ForbiddenX 11-10-2013 01:11 AM

Give you an idea...
i've rooted mine

going to give faux kernel a shot tomorrow

apparently, its been doing wonders

Sucks about the battery but I think custom kernels will take care of it for the most part. Can't do much with the small battery they put on there though, even with the OS improvements. Luckily I don't really care, as I don't go out for entire days

If the battery sucks, wait and see what custom kernels can do. With Semaphore on my N4, the battery drain is 99% flat when idle in airplane mode, and not much worse with wifi.

apparently the battery from the LG G2 wont fit in our N5... damn it.. would be nice to swap out the 2300mAh to the 3000mAh

Its a good thing that the places I go, there is an outlet.. so I should be ok with battery part... I also have a 5000mAh portable battery charger, so if I do go out with no power outlet, I will be sure to bring this along...

did you think they wouldn't use up all the space they could for the battery already?

I know anker has a wireless charging pad that has a large internal battery for on the go wireless charging. no chance of breaking off your usb port, but how would you keep it attached if it was, say, in a backpack?

i was also thinking of getting a charging pad for the car as well. over on XDA a guy took a pad apart and attached it to his phone cradle.

How can custom kernels get so much more battery life than stock Google? Are they disabling a lot of features?

The Anker unit sounds cool, but it's specced to charge at 0.5A when used wirelessly. Most external backup batteries charge at 1-1.5A, some at 2.1A. The Anker unit itself will charge at 2.1A if you connect the Nexus 5 to it via microUSB, so the wireless charging option seems moot.

After all these years, I haven't read much into how Kernels work and all, but I have used franco in the past and his stuff is usually pretty damn good

however, for the N5, Franco himself doesn't have his phone yet(i think). However, I'm using Faux123 kernel, his latest beta update has been pumping out some great results (Screen on time of 5.5hrs) and getting some great use

As skinny said earlier, 99%idle on Airplane or wifi is possible. One of the best things that these kernels do is that id adjusts the voltage/cpu to a minimum while when the phone is sleeping. By default, the N5 has the min freq at 1ghz, the faux kernel can allow the user to drop it to a low low setting of 300ghz on sleep. Thats putting it to deep sleep

the one sacrifice is that push notifications will be slightly delayed. The power is in your hands.

How the kernel governs the power too also has an impact, thus i've spent a good hour or so reading about how each thing works

You will need an app to configure these things, such as Faux123's official app..or the free one, trickster mod

edit... heres an updated pic for the family of nexus phones...
