Using Samsung 2a charger here, the phone charges even when I play dead trigger 2
Afaik Its OK to use higher current than specify to charge the battery (current≠voltage), the only downside is that battery wear will set in faster, but I doubt that we'll still be using this phone when the battery wears out, based on how frequent people change phones these days

Thanks djlah for replying my question, much appreciated
Btw, 0.16 is out

What a bad day for me, my phone screen cracked for the 2nd time already and I really do not have the heart to repair it again. Probably getting the Nexus 5.

2 questions:

1) What's the best price out there. I'm aware DirectD is selling for RM1.5k. Please do share cheaper/better deals

2) How's the battery life? I'm looking at anandtech review and it even rated the battery life to be better than Note 2's 3.1k mAh battery

3) Mini review would be appreciated. Pros and cons

Anymore user bought white units and have the screen color different issue? I have get a replacement unit but the same color problem still exist, is it common problem on the white 32gb unit?

i got the white version..lolz

For battery life, coming from iPhone 5, I would say its great, for me at least.
On 3G/LTE (most of the time), mix a bit WiFi, 15hrs standby, 4hrs SoT
Stock ROM, Kernel. Location: Battery Saving. Google Now: On. Sync ON. Brightness: Manual, not more than 40%. Mainly, whatsapp, phone calls and browsing the web. Casual gaming.

Pros
•Smoothest android phone I've used so far.
•Nice screen colour reproduction, better than AMOLED blueish feel. That's personal
•Eh boss, its Nexus! You know the software benefits!

Cons
•Noob speaker quality
•Fragile? Drop tests are not impressive. In fact, we have a fellow forumer broke his N5 from a 4-feet drop.
•Camera mmg cannot compare with other flagships la.

Overall, I've never love a phone so much!

u can use charger 2.0A, 2.5A or so on...
it doesn't matter much.
bcoz N5 have a standard spec for charging current.
If let say charging current spec is about 1.2A, then even u use 2.5A charger, it still draw 1.2A for charging only.
For my understanding, charging time wont get faster.
But if u use 1.0A charger, then off course charging time will be slower.

Seven Mobile seems to have ready stock for 16GB Black at RM1,555. Forgot to ask which model, but I'm sure most sellers brought in the D821 set right?

Sure. All AP seller selling D821 version. dont worry.

Guys is it ok if we use non-local set?
or better we wait for local set launch? Any Idea when he coming to Mysia?
Is it the price of non local set lower than local set or vice versa?

Still no news about Local set either from LG malaysia or telco.

My experience with Nexus4 early 2013, the local set price is higher than import or AP set. If u willing to wait, just wait for local set with local warranty. Now, u can get AP set with local warranty too. but limit with 16gb version only.

whats the best nexus 5 case if money is no object? something similar to otterbox

isn't he the TS for Note 2 thread?

imo judging from the Note 2 thread, its not really good.

For one, The front page is too heavy, even loading with chrome, it still lags pretty badly.
This completely destroys any form of user experience there is. Its the reason I don't embed videos on the front page anymore.
Secondly, information overload, there are too much info in the page, what that does it makes finding for info difficult.
and, there are very minimal design effort put into it, its basically cram as much stuff as possible in a page.
To me, it feels like a Touchwiz ROM.

But of course this matter is very subjective, so this is just my opinion.

A well designed thread example, I would vote for Nexus 4's one, there are loads of info, but organized nicely and everything appears tidy. Most importantly, when you open that thread, it doesn't lag badly.

Higher amp charges faster and will not damage phone. The only wear is the battery lifespan, ie. Instead of changing to new battery in 2 years time, you might need to change in 1.5 year. Just like your car tyres, the faster you drive the faster you need to change your tyres.

Anyone using tempered glass screen protector on their nexus5? Is it good?

If you asked me, reliable would be techbug. I know the guy personally, very friendly & cool guy. If any problem he will help you claim warranty but you need to pay postage around RM90 to US, postage from US back to malaysia he will cover.

If cheapest then probably D820 model, can get around RM1.4k iirc, otherwise like others said D821 model can get around ~RM1.5k.

If you not going for LTE then cheapest of all would be D820 model lo. Can get for RM1.4k, otherwise DirectD would be cheapest I think unless you have friends over australia or japan. Bought mine for < RM1.3k

I dont think there is the "best" case. All has its own pro and cons. If best value vs quality case then I think would be ultra hybrid? Since it comes with free screen protector, no need to fork out further. RM70 including postage is not bad I think

Haha, thanks for the compliment, and also good critique.

I agree I'm not a "design" type of guy. I wish I could have made some improvements in arrangement, but a wiki would be more conducive to that than a linear forumn.

There was so much information that I tried to organize, but again, the linear structure of a forum constrained the layout.

I also commend the N4 thread as I learned from it while organizing the Note 2 thread. I did make some functional improvements, notably the Changelog, since I think I was the first to implement it.

Good luck to the thread with the current TS.

I can't find this user "techub", mind providing his sales link

I'll probably try to get the LTE version. Btw, how much space out of 16GB is available for us to use?

How much is it now in Australia and can provide links? I remember the price isn't that attractive

Lowyat plaza sell 16gb at rm1800.cekik kaw2

Which shop? Any demo units? Hope there are because I would be interested to try out one
