Lost about 13% of battery life to Google Search when I was sleeping. Wifi turned off, Google voice hot key turned off.

Full wake locks from Google search draining the battery. How do I prevent Google search from keep on waking up?

Already disabled Google Now, will monitor wake locks for the next few days

As for my purchases, I bought a generic USD 1 TPU case and a USD3 Ringke Fusion look alike case, both off EBay.

Also waiting for my Nilkin Glass Screen Protector!!

Too bad it doesn't cover the top and bottom.

Much cheaper:

At USD11 from ebay, it's damn cheap already, not sure how much lower people expect it to go for them to opt for bulk order.

When it comes to Nexus devices, ya don't need numbers, graphs or benchmarks to tell you how smooth it is. It's the experience that's important

What a big e-pen** All I wanted to convey is that the Nexus 5 is super smooth and you know it because of the user experience with it and not because of what Mr Benchmark A, Numbers B or graph C are telling you. Numbers mean nothing.

Don't know why you are being so defensive though.

How do you do that? I cannot open the dialer in lock screen mode

Sounds like me too, don't store videos/movies, I have a lot of storage left now. 7GB free

Any rooting method that doesn't trigger the binary counter?

Might wanna save more juice

And another complain is the notification panel, I don't want to keep using 2 fingers to bring down the toggle window which is almost impossible for 1 handed operation

Just to add that mobile internet plan of 1GB for prepaid does not qualify for LTE, it's only for postpaid.

This is such an awesome app, gives Nexus 5 much easier to access toggles. It doesn't even need root or custom room, I was honestly very surprised!

Some of us here are getting the Nilkin Glass protector off EBay for around USD11, or the super glass protector (can't remember the name) for about RM70+

For normal plastic SP, can go for SGP

How much improvement in battery life?

So far no intention to use custom Rom as stock rom is already so good.

Just received my generic TPU case from Ebay. It only cost me USD1 inclusive of free shipping from China.

Was only expecting it to arrive somewhere mid January because usually my orders from China take about 1 month or so. Quite surprised that I received it today because the item was shipped out on the 18th of December 2013 and it only took 2 weeks. Great job

Above is the listing I got. And surprisingly, it's USD6.99 now ----> http://www.ebay.com/itm/151176832035?ssPag...984.m1497.l2649

You can probably try to look for something similar.

Opening the package, I was happy to find the seller including a free Screen Protector and a mini stylus!



Here are some pictures:





The case fits nicely into the phone. While it isn't very tight fitting, it doesn't feel like it would come off the case easily too. As some were complaining about the SGP Ultra/Neo Hybrid and Ringke Fusion being too bulky, I'm happy to say that this TPU case doesn't add that much bulk. I'm happy to say that my Nexus 5 still looks sexy as ever, especially that thin bezel



The back of the case has a smooth but matte kind of feel, it's more slippery than the back cover of the Nexus 5. The sides are glossy TPU material.





The cut outs for the speaker, microphone, 3.5mm jack are slightly rough which is to be expected for this dirt cheap price. They don't look that bad like in the pictures actually. The volume and power button keys do not have tactile feel to them but they are still easily pressed with a little bit of pressure

This case should be able to provide some protection, especially against minor knocks/dents but do not expect anything major like a drop from 4-6 feet. You would have to invest into a bulkier case with thicker rubber to absorb impact like the Otterbox cases



The finish isn't that good to be honest but still it's quite bearable for me at least, you'll only notice it by sight and not by feel. But nevertheless, it still feels good in the hands, just like any other TPU cases in the market (not counting the expensive ones)

In conclusion, I think this is a pretty good purchase, more so with the free Screen Protector and mini stylus You can't beat a TPU case for USD1 that comes with a screen protector and a mini stylus!!

I don't know if I'm going to use this case or not because I may prefer a flip case. For those who loves TPU cases, please do get this!

p/s: My Ringke Fusion look a like case would be arriving soon, I hope! Will do another review then

Here's the one I'm waiting for next: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171177115078?ssPag...984.m1497.l2649 Only USD3.57!!!

What do you mean, I don't really get it.

No scratches lahh, those are dust or small hair. My phone is 99% new condition leh

Not sure which brand, probably a generic one. Got it together with my Nexus 5 and the casing.

Still waiting for my Nilkin Glass Protector then I guess I can forgo a flip case and go full TPU or Ultra Hybrid

I hope it's as simple as using Mobile Odin Pro (when I was using it for my SIII)

Why is this happening again????

Google maps draining battery and I already turned off GPS so why is it still there?
