yeah as i've noted before the GPS is atrocious :/ I thought it may have just been buggy or a one time issue but nope :/

nokia needs to release Here maps for Android maybe that would help :/

If GPS has been consistently shitty for people on the N5 then I think its a problem with the software on the N5. I remember the N7 had GPS issues when it was released too. Google needs to fix this asap!

SkinnyPupp 12-01-2013 03:16 AM

I thought it was my ROM or kernel, because I installed them immediately. The location on the N4 was fine, but this one sucks. It's very innacurate even with wifi scanning on, gps on, and out in the open

titanium backup has been updated for ART. Time to switch from Dalvik?

SkinnyPupp 12-01-2013 05:05 AM

If that's the only program that it broke for you, sure

For me it also broke Whatsapp and Final Fantasy and who knows what else since I switched back right away

FerrariEnzo 12-01-2013 06:39 AM

Im not worried about using ART... it only saves little time compared to Dalvik... not a big issue for me

Maybe its not picking up satellites? Should install GPS test and see what it sees

!MiKrofT 12-02-2013 11:08 AM

LOL. I didn't read any of that. I just remembered a few ppl were asking about the Tylt and it being expensive.

Not liking the build quality of the Ringke Fusion.... time for Diztronic -_-

StylinRed 12-02-2013 02:38 PM

I would normally suggest a Nokia product like the dt-910 (its what i have)

but it's been a nightmare ever since I got it and it recently stopped working entirely, i need to get it replaced -_-

3rd qi wireless charging dock I've ordered since getting the nexus 5...

I think it's a must if your phone (N5 does) supports it. It's hard to go back the cable way once you have gone wireless.

I did a few reviews on my blog. You can check them out. :)

knight604 12-03-2013 08:20 PM

^ what charger do you like the best?

Hmm. I just tried my GPS again. It works flawlessly. It tracks me perfectly. Intentionally turned the opposite direction and Google maps instantly rerouted.

This.

Didn't have a problem at all with my GPS.

Got the Ringke Fusion case in black..fits very slim..build quality is alright, not fantastic. Back transparent plastic fits too close to the back of the phone itself, causing some weird smudgy marks from contact.

If you use your N5 naked, Google one is best as it charges really fast. And the magnets come really handy.

If not, get a tri-coil design like the Nokia or tylt vu so you can charge phone in various positions.
