i see, but a noob question here, if my n5 is covered by either back cover or the spigen ultra hybrid, could it still detect the wireless charger?

No problem, I am using ultra hybrid on my phone atm. Still can detect, can check my thread for description & sample image tongue.gif

how is nillkin wireless better than nexus latest wireless charger?
*
QUOTE(mansooriqbal @ Dec 22 2013, 02:28 AM)
one more thing you need a 2A adapter input in order to get 1A output for nillkin. So if you're going to use nexus 5 charger, charging is going to be slow as .5A?
*
I dont have the nexus charger so I cant compare but most likely nexus charger is better la since its designed specifically for nexus 5. It has higher output & got magnets, nillkin is just like any other ordinary QI charger. What you pay is what you get. Its a cheaper alternative if you dont want to spend RM200++ for nexus charger.

Its not a must, I plugged the nillkin charger into my pc usb & charging via that. I tried nillkin charger with nexus 5 adapter too that is rated at 1.2A output. It works too, surely nexus wireless charger will be more faster than this since its output is more than this.

how is the charging time like? hav u manage to do comparison between the nillkin wireless charging and using original chargeR? just wan to know it how slow it take to charge
*
Havent do the comparison & feel lazy to do it. Once you got wireless charger, its so convenient that I dont feel like messing with wires tongue.gif Kinda hard to do a comparison also, as they said the power management is so good that the battery drain overnight is so little.

oh ya...wanna ask u
the ultra hybrid casing...need to peel the sticker...how?
i asked the seller, the seller also dn't know

What you mean how? Just peel with your fingers lo. hmm.gif

QUOTE(Najmods @ Dec 22 2013, 01:16 PM)
Guys, it's not a good idea to keep draining the battery till it's dead then you recharge it, this is not Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. Read about it at Battery University about How to prolonged lithium based batteries.
*
Yup, never fully drain it or leave it charging overnight smile.gif

The adhesive is quite strong for the transparent cover, you need to use your fingernails harder. Try use a pin or needle instead.

Not so sure oh, if 312k is not the updated version then which is? hahaha but the news quite old already, I think should be 312k batch that received the updated hardware tweaks but I am not so sure la.

Either way its not a big deal la I believe. Its just good to know which batch received the updated tweaks so why take old batch when we can take newer one at the same price tongue.gif

QUOTE
You guys are dumb, I mean, seriously. 310, 311, 312 and so on are the FREAKING MONTHS when the device was manufactured! They are NOT new versions!

Look, let me explain it very slow so you can follow:

Year = 2013
Month = October (10), November (11), December (12)
Place = Korea (K)

So, how would you create a S/N for a device manufactured on 2013/10 in Korea?

I don't know, but my guess would be 310K, but wait! October's over!
Now comes November!!!
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Oh wait... 311K seems to do the trick! YAY! We have another month!
But, November's over too! Crap, now we need to come up with something... any ideas? Yes, you got it: 312K

Now here comes the tricky part, can you all guess what January's code will be?

/sarcasm

Now seriously, stop sending back your good devices just to get a device that the only difference was that it was manufactured a month later. If your device is faulty, by all means, send it back to get a good one, but sending a good device just to get "A NEW VERSION" that isn't really a new version, just manufactured a month later is just dumb and sad.

tl/dr: until someone shows me a new HW VER version (different from my rev_11) I don't believe there's a new version just because of 3 pics. And EVEN if there is indeed a new version that's no reason to send a device back if your device is working fine.

same thought here, unknown brand wireless charging might degraded the battery. better get reputable brand. I'm waiting for my nexus wireless charging pad. where you ordered yours and how much?
*
Not true at all. They are using the same technology, any qi charger will work. Only difference is the build quality and its output. In fact people been using cheap china wireless charger with nexus 4 also no problems since day 1.

QUOTE(Frequency.0 @ Dec 24 2013, 12:21 PM)
By comparing the space between the speaker holes,  you can most likely speculate if the unit you have on hand is the "tweaked" version or not.

Though, with the quote from xda regarding 31X referring to its month of production, is it saying that as of now, there is no tweaked versions being shipped, and only pictures of said tweaked version?
*
No I can't speculate via online pictures.

QUOTE(mansooriqbal @ Dec 24 2013, 02:24 PM)
output is only 1A if you're using a 2A adapter which is not included in the package so either you're using your own 2A adapter or if you are using nexus 4 adapter then you are just getting .5A output instead of 1A.
*
Don't really matter I guess, the charging speed is almost the same as charging via usb 3.0. I am doing some tests, will post the results once done. Also the higher the amp, the hotter your charger will be I assume? I am no engineer so if someone could clarify this would be awesome lol.

Do provide links to support your statement. Don't simply say it will degrade without any facts.

I am not saying all cheap wireless charger is good but there are a lot of good ones out there at decent price.

same to you, show the fact to support your statement, "Not true at all." Again, not all wireless charging will degrade. same here too, I'm not saying all cheap wireless charger is bad  biggrin.gif

I have not heard anyone saying their cheap qi charger degrades their battery at an abnormal rate since nexus 4 came out till today. You can go through the xda link I posted, a huge number of users are using cheap qi charger based on the posts (I have gone through all the 17pages last week). Any lithium battery will degrade at a normal rate, that is normal. Here is a link to maintain your battery life (also taken from the xda link I posted & a forumer over here as well). Only issue users are having is some of their charger doesn't detect the phone properly.

Anyways just get whichever charger you guys like la, in fact I would recommend the nexus charger if you guys have the budget. Built quality is good plus it comes with magnets so it would be quite convenient to align your phone with the charger (not sure if the magnets will affect the gyroscope or compass but I am sure LG have already thought of that). Also its the output is the most highest from all the chargers I saw so it should charger at a pretty fast speed icon_rolleyes.gif

Nope, only way is to have a friend over there to help you purchase & send it to you via postage or he come back here by hand carry.

Your gf is bringing in right? If so & its only 1 unit then nothing to worry about. Just sleep peacefully.

Just open your unit (break the seal), if they ask anything just say personal use. 99% will lepas if hand carry/luggage

Looking for some minimalist cases for my incoming Nexus 5. So far the most common mentions are for Ringke and Nillkin? But both look rather underwhelming. In my quest for something just a bit more striking I came across this thread from the xda forums.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577289

The quicksand covers looks pretty amazing. And it's only $0.99. I think I'm gonna get a few.

Whilst I dont think it's gonna offer serious protection, I'm guessing it would be as good as something like the Ringke Slim case, right?

Found a seller that ships to Malaysia free too.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-QuickSan...=item2332d57f02

Even though it doesn't offer the best protection out there, it is still a better option than going nekid. Our camera lens are kinda popping out from the device and by going nekid, if it scratches shakehead.gif

This casing seems to offer some protection to that while still keeping the device slim. For the price, I think there is no reason not to get it for those who are not using any casing tongue.gif
