    What will it take for you to trade up from your N5?

    So, I'm thinking that I might get myself a new phone for Christmas but it will pretty much depend on what is announced/released between now and then. I kind of like the look of the moto x2 or x +1 or whatever it is but I'm not sure if it's enough of an upgrade from the nexus 5...

    What's the thinking behind no hardware buttons?

    Because gosh darn it I'd love me some capacitive buttons on my Nexus 5! I run a lower DPI (420) and I still feel like I'm giving up too much of my screen real estate to those pesky software buttons! I've tried pie and it's ok except in like Facebook and stuff when you want to go between...

    Help Available Storage Doesn't Add Up

    Hey dudes, I've noticed tonight that when I check my storage available through the settings of my N5 the amount of available storage doesn't add up to the individual breakdown of apps, music etc. I'll post a screen shot later but basically of the 26gb available I have approximately 16gb of...

    Root Can we discuss battery life/kernel settings?

    Maybe this doesn't warrant its own thread, but I'm trying to suss out how to get the max battery (screen on) time out of my rooted N5 running DU and Franco Kernel (I'm open to trying other kernels if necessary). For a while I was doing the under clock under volt thing, but I was skeptical as...

    Do y'all use any anti virus or whatever?

    I've come over from Apple a while ago, so never had to think about it before. I think I'm pretty careful with my browsing and stuff so I'm not uber worried about it but I just thought I'd ask you bros if you use/would recommend anything?

    Something I'd LOVE to see (but probably won't).

    I love my N5 and I am currently getting great battery life using the Franco kernel (34) with the Dirty Unicorns custom rom however, with that said more is always more, right? I hate big, bulky battery pack cases, however, I think with the N5's camera sticking out as it does I feel it...

    Root Anyone using Koushik Datta's 'Mirror' root app with apple tv?

    Hey guys, I've got the app 'Mirror' installed but my apple tv never shows up in the castscreen options. I don't know if it's because I use an Ethernet connection for my apple tv but I feel that is unlikely because the apple tv and my nexus 5 are on the same network. Or I could be completely...

    Help using nexus 5 with car stereo USB input

    My cars factory stereo has a USB input which I used very successfully with my iPhone. I had hoped that my new nexus 5 would be able to do the same thing. Unfortunately plugging the nexus in only resulted in it charging not playing back the audio. Has anyone encountered this and/or found a fix?
