What are y'all using? I was a long time gsam user, but it just doesn't work for me on the note 5. The stats are always way of. So, what's a good alternative?

Hey guys, trying to flash factory images on mine and my wife's nexus 5s, something I've done successfully many times before, but running into this error: Last login: Thu Sep 24 09:51:11 on ttys000 JOELs-MacBook-Air: platform-tools Joel$ ./fastboot devices 0655c5c62298549afastboot...

Hey guys, my mum has a Z1 and she recently got the 5.0.2 (I'm pretty sure that's the one) update and she's been having a few issues since. Call quality has dropped, people on the other end sound robotic, especially when using bluetooth and she sounds muffled/quiet to the people she's taking...

Hey dudes, I'm considering a note 5 for my next phone. It will only be my second android phone with my first being a nexus 5 that I bought direct from google. If I get the note 5 it will be on a plan through optus (Australian telco). My wife has an S6 on optus and it has certain things like a...

Hey N5 homies! My wifey has been having problems with her N5 such as keyboard lagging/not working, not being able to hear people, apps crashing etc. I'm going to do a factory reset for her tonight to see if we can resolve it (otherwise she's just about ready to throw it at the wall and get...

Dudes, having a weird issue trying to add custom notification sounds to use for my N5. Let me start by saying I can get it to work, just not the way I would like it to. The issue I have is when I put the sound I want to use in the system/media/audio/notifications it doesn't show up when I go to...

An-bros! My wife's Nexus 5 has been leaking battery like a mutha hugga since yesterday. She just got a fitbit and we thought that might have been the problem (I expected having bluetooth on all day would have some impact on battery life, but her phone is dropping like 20% an hour!) so the...

I know it's still pretty fresh, but I'm running 5.0.1 stock, un-rooted and I'm on the fence about whether to root or not... I was running 5.0 rooted with Franco kernel and it was a fairly unstable experience, apps force closing, sleep of deaths, etc. so when I updated to 5.0.1 I decided to keep...

Sorry if this has been addressed before, but I couldn't work out how to search properly now, anyway I have previously been rooted and used custom roms and kernels and been able to choose a colour profile that has more saturated colours for my N5. Currently I am running stock 5.0.1, not rooted...

Hey guys, I'm moving root-related chatter out of the general forum to keep things clean for those who do not root. I will fill this full of useful info about the update as time allows :0 EDIT1: So there are some huge changes to the rooted lollipop world. First of all, we know the from the...

EDIT: After much googling and frustration at my lack of ability to get this to work I finally managed to use fastboot to flash the TWRP image and I am currently restoring my DU nandroid I made before trying to flash the other rom, not sure if I should try again after this or just wait for the DU...

Hey dude-bros! So I'm still a fairly recent convert to the Church of Android and while I'm not looking to go back, like ever, there is one thing that my iPhones did WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than my N5 and that is playing music/podcasts with the screen off and not use much battery. Am I alone...

Lately my battery life has not been what it once was and I'm trying to work out why. Please have a look at the following screen shots: What's the go? Why is my battery so poor? Why is it looking for data and mobile network the whole time? I had network the whole time?

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...

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...

Dudes! I recently clean flashed a new rom test build and before I remembered to re set up my email (hotmail and work email, microsoft exchange) I was getting mad battery life! Like uber mad battery life BUT as soon as I set up those email addresses my batter life is in the toilet! I've...

Dudes! I was having issues with my N5, rooted, DU etc. So I was running a nandroid from a couple days ago but then I decided to try to reflash the rom, clean, so I wiped the cach, system etc but didn't realise that becuase when I made the nandroid I didn't have the rom on my phone and now...

Dudes! I've been having problems using Android File Transfer on my Macbook Air to connect to my Nexus 5. I can sometimes get it going but usually it just hangs and I have to force quit the app because it is 'Not Responding'. Has any else had this issue? Are there alternatives? I...

LG G3 Leaks Continue: Here's What You Need to Know Should be pretty sweet if it's based off this, no?

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...

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...

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?

Hey dudes I'm trying to install Microsoft Office Mobile on my nexus 5 but it says it's not compatible with my device but it will install on my wife's nexus 5. I'm rooted and running Dirty Unicorns, her phone is not rooted, that's the only difference. Is it the root or the rom?

So what happens to those of us using custom roms when the new android comes out? (I'm an android noob, Nexus 5 is my first android phone)

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...
