Just for those who plan on buying a wireless charger for the Nexus 5, take a look at this comparison chart to view the charge time duration from 0 to 100%:

Guys just got my nexus 5. Since I don't have an international plug adapter yet, can I use my current iPhone charger (with USB port) to charge instead? Voltage is fine. Its 1A so it will charge slower. But apart from that is there anything I should worry about?
*
Nexus 5 adapter output is 5V and 1.2A.
something interesting that i found on internet that might be important to everyone to be aware of including myself as i am also doing the wrong thing using lower amp adapter to charge my Nexus 5.


Here is a check list I copied from www.topmic.com.
It apply to notebook adapter but i believe the concept is same.

The following three condition should be met for you to use this charger safely.

1) Output Voltage is within +/- 5% of your old charger's output.
For example, if your old charger provides 19.5V, then you can use a charger that provides 20.5V or 18.5V.

2) Output Current is the same or higher than that of your old charger.
For example, if your original adapter provides 3.42 Amps, then you can use a charger that provides 3.42 Amps, 3.9 Amps or higher.

3) Connector tip must fit securely into your laptop.

Therefore : you need a match or higher current, otherwise it can cause overheating, might as well not function properly, even, shorten your battery life.

Meaning, I can't use my blackberry adapter with 0.8A. doh.gif

yes sakit hati. lagi sakit hati sekarang ni takde spare parts lagi.
maybe i will ask my friend to sent it to repair overseas, one of my friend is going to Aus this 17.
maybe i give my N5 to him and repair there. donno what it will cost.

most probably getting a second hand Nexus 5 is better than taking the risk n cost to repair it, as u not sure whether any other thing broken.

I dropped my n7 2013 before, can't turn on, so I send to Asus srv center and they say can't claim warranty because due to human error. But the staff there say she will "tulis" some other reason. In the end, manage to claim. (Not sure if they notice I sudah unlocked and root-ed the device hmm.gif)

So is warranty claimable only if it's hardware failure? In LG case? or in General? not due to human error- drop, masuk water,etc..

any sifu can give me insight on this? much appreciated  notworthy.gif

if they cannot on yr device don't think they will know u already unlocked and root the device.
usually they will not even bother to check further if they willing to change one for u.

i believe all warranty is not inclusive of human fault or natural disaster.

Yeah, they not confirm will fix it cause they say need check check..

Said will email me if need replace parts (eg: mobo spoil) or no email if everything proceeds. To replace parts, need pay cause the parts ain't cheap.
In the end, I manage to so-called "claimed" warranty since I did not pay for anything and they fixed my device (still with my sp on lol) and give it back to me  icon_rolleyes.gif

I'm just scare parts spoils since need fork out $$ to fix and sometimes to buy the parts is almost half the cost of buying a new one.
*
Oh.. very lucky for u then. usually the part that is expensive. labour still can pay.

last time, i got my PC's motherboard fried by lightning. can see one of the chip burned very clearly.
then i manage to find a small heatsink and stick on it.
then send to claim warranty and they accept it.
lucky for me. icon_idea.gif

usually, if send for warranty, if no clear sign showing that it is human error, dun tell them it is human error.
just say it just don't work. usually they will accept it and send for warranty.

Try to apply sp comes together from my seller. Didnt realize the provided cloth was of low quality cotton cloth, leave dust on screen, first apply got few bubble, wipe the sp to clean the dust ( worst idea ever ), completely ruin the sp with hundreds of dust, stupid me doh.gif
Now using my phone without sp, and it feels good  thumbup.gif

For those using glass type sp, how's the touch feel differ than phone's glass ?

I am using the Nillkin H+ Glass SP.

Really regret on my choice on black. As I knew myself that most probably will use case to protect my phone. So if get white version, white speaker grill will be sexy  cool2.gif

FYI, the bottom speaker grill also is in black color for white version. only the top round speaker and back cover is white.

I am very happy with my Nexus 5 battery power. Still running everything on stock. Just change the screen time to sleep in 1 min, the rest no change. Can run for almost 2 days without charging. Answering few calls, snapping few photos, checking FB, browsing few websites, playing some candy crush and emoji.

I am quite impress with the Nexus 5 photo quality. Below some sample photo with no additional effect.
Too bad the stock kit kat does not camera app does not come with enough tool to play with the camera.
I believe it can be better with it.

I vote ElementalX
I vote ASUS

somehow, component supply are major consideration for Google specially display, so Samsung are advantages added coz of inhouse display supply, follow by LG. So the only hope Google opt for LG, instead of Samsung. I don't like Samsung too.

but latest rumour seems to indicate that it will be from Samsung.
