For those who want to get a Pressy from me. Now only got blue and black colours left and they are in limited amount. Act fast and be the first few in Malaysia to own a Pressy.

I have been using nexus 5 for about three weeks and as much as I love the smoothness of this phone, I cant wait to have some money to exchange it with a samsung phone, at least a samsung s4.

I was using a samsung s3 before that phone has a broken power button (keep booting over time by itself). Below is  a list of what i feel the pros and cons of the nexus 5 over samsung s3:
Pros:
really smooth,
superbly smooth,
battery can last me a whole day with sot of more than 4 hours.

Cons:
no sd card ( seriously, a bummer),
camera is really pathethic ( ois makes all my pictures taken qith it blurry, color reproduction is so much worst compared to s3 and the s3 was so much consistent in taking pictures),
no smart stay (cant stand that i have to keep touching the screen everytime i read something using it),
no notification toggle like the touchwhiz( i know i can find apps that let me do it but i like the touchwhiz one a lot, you can scroll to see most of your settings toggle or you can click a button just beside the setting button and see all your settings, really miss this feature),
The nav soft keys ( really hate it, fast switching cant exchange with the fact that it is taking some space of the screen. When you are using different locker, this pathethic bar cannot be hidden)
love the app drawer animation of touchwhiz compared to fly in app drawer of the normal google launcher)
Multi window (love the time when i can play youtube and browsing internet or reading email or replying email at the same time)
Resale value (i sold my broken s3 to an unknown person just like that when that person saw me that i wanted to sell my s3 to a second hand shop in the city. nobody wants to buy or swap with my nexus 5 these past two weeks. I went to a second hand store in the city and ask how much can i get with this if i want to trade in with another phone, i can get about £120 with s3 but only £100 with the nexus 5, wth!!)

My wife is using a note 3 and everyday i feel jelous of her note 3 features. Rarely lag and most of the time is as fast as my nexus 5.

Btw mine is a uk set wrapped by an ultra fit copper gold spigen case.

I thought you can swipe down the nav bar and tap the top right button to switch to the toggle tiles?

Hi guys, I am nearing to meet my 40 Pressy quota, and am looking forward to get another 10 pieces (they sell it 10 pieces per lot). I need to confirm to them by this 17th, so any of you are interested, please let me know via PM. One unit is for RM65, subsequent unit goes for RM60. It's a nice nifty gift for your friends and families, also a great companion to your phone!

Let me know.

First of all, as much as I respect the developers, I am still not going to use a custom rom as my daily driver. I used my phone to do bank transactions a lot. Some of the apps require a phone that is not rooted. iianm, you cannot use google wallet with custom rom. Furthermore, I dont like to know that there are people who temper with my phone through kernals or roms. I know they are good people but I trust google more than the devs although that devs might be one of the google workers.

Secondly, yes, you can get some of the features from apps that are available in the app store. But some of them take a large amount of ram. I do not like the feeling that I have two apps for calendar (google calendar preinstalled and another calendar app that can satisfy my need). After all, the things that I required are very small but I prefer to have them if I have the option.

In addition, one of the reason why you choose this phone is to minimize the bloatware and if i cannot use the preinstalled email app, the app is a bloatware.

Dont get me wrong, the current available apps are really great and smooth and fast.

Now some people might have different choice and need and the above are just my opinions and wishlist. I also realized that this phone is really cheap compared to other high end phone.

Just like some of you have said, this is the wrong phone for me, and I think it probably is. But if google can just add these small things, I would be really happy.

Why not just stick with one third-party app and forget about the stock Google Calender. Most of them still sync well with Google Calender. If you are a freak where unused apps cannot exist, then maybe you can try Greenify - it supports non-rooted devices now although I don't know how it works because I use it with rooted phones all the while.

I used to do bulk on Rhino Shield few months ago. Most of them probably get from me. I am not doing any Rhino Shield bulk though (can't get enough people). I guess if you can't find them locally, you probably just have to pay the premium to buy directly from Rhino Shield themselves.

Hey guys, for those who have gotten the Pressy with me. Surprise surprise, it's delayed again and hopefully we'll see it by end of this month or early next month. You can see the detail about Pressy from the link below.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/556341...on/posts/844005

TBH, I will rather wait to get something that works really well rather than something that work for just a while. However, I do dislike their way of handling the issue as it feels to me that they are trying to manufacture it as cheaply as possible to maximise their profit (even though they have had such a successful campaign). Or maybe most Kickstarter campaign get delays, who knows?
