Yeah man, don't even bother going to LYP. They won't even let you touch the unopened box let alone the phone inside.

I notice this happens a lot to Nexus devices. Any idea why Nexus not allowed for display or hands on?

My guess is Nexus not so popular so they afraid if open box later cant sell it brows.gif

Nope, Greenify no need Xposed framework, just need Root.

Life saver, heard Unicon before but didnt know it work with stock launcher as well rclxm9.gif

Edit : Install xposed framework, install Unicon, enabled module in xposed, use Unicon to apply icon pack, reboot device, icon didnt change sad.gif

Was using Axis icon pack, it's compatible with Unicon. Any tips on how to use Unicon ? icon_question.gif

Guys, I just got my Nexus 5 last night. Always been an iPhone user, so this is new to me.

First up, hardware. I have the wobbly power button for sure, volume rocker wobbles slightly too. This does dampen the premium feel of the ceramic buttons, and is kinda a bummer, but one day on I don't think it matters anymore. Certainly nothing something I would RMA for. Those are the kind of people who will cause the next Nexus 5 to increase in price. My girlfriend's unit also has the same wobbly buttons, so it's gotta be a widespread thing. Other than that I didn't notice anything wrong, not sure if my screen has light bleed but I don't notice anything so it's all good to me. Viewing angle is bad from the corners, but again not a biggie. Overall the screen looks fabulous.

Now I've heard about the battery life of the Nexus 5, but I think mine's performing even worse. Last night I charged the phone up to 95% and unplugged it. It was connected to wifi with mobile data turned off. When I woke up in the middle of the night (2.5 hours later), it had dropped 13%. I've been hearing how good the battery is when idle, and this drop looks really bad. I charged it to 100% at 9am, by 9pm I had 35% left, with only about 1.5 hours of screen on time. Again, looks bad. Any idea what may be causing this? I'm new to Android, so all the sifus out there, point me in the right direction? I'm on stock everything. Didn't change anything.

Some stuff I noticed:-

- One thing I observed is that it fetches my emails instantly. How do I turn this off? Does this eat up a lot of battery?
- Is there a on-screen volume adjuster? I listen to music using my phone and earphones and the physical volume buttons aren't precise. Sometimes its too soft and one step up its too loud. I miss the on-screen volume adjuster on my iPhone. Any other music app to recommend?
- For Chrome, is there a way to put the back and forward buttons on the main browser instead?
*
Congrats on Nexus owner. Mine's power button and volume rocker also woobly. For battery life issue, most likely was due to some apps keeping your phone from deep sleep thus the fast drain. You may check on which app/service that's draining your batt from Setting > Battery

You may configure how email app sync your mailbox.
Music app I'm using is PowerAmp

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've never use Play Music before, been using PowerAMP for long time. How much does it cost now ? Actually comes to think, few dollar equals one meal, but apps can be use everyday for long time. So if worth to invest then can just purchase it, IMHO biggrin.gif

Good to know and thanks. Have to wait for my Spigen Slim Armor case to arrive then only may decide whether to buy it or not. Scared not compatible with Nillkin, however Spigen's own glass sp was so damn exp blink.gif

Why there's no more huge sales for Play store apps anymore ? I remembered I'd bought so many apps for 99cent and 25cent during their huge celebration sales years ago.

Stock launcher ? Forget it. If must need to rearrange, install 3rd party launcher.
