if you have company using those as device management to monitor employee BYOD , then you will have error / warning prompt out. usually is being use in company IT department. the current policy u download from junos is "default" and not being config customly.

Noted that and good luck with your samsung

who is using samsung ?

It's a sarcasm bro.

I believe the pupose of a Nexus device is for user to experience an android device the way google want it to be. Rooting and flashing is an extra for those who wanted more from the device.

Kinda have to disagree. One of my friends called me few days ago and he asked if he should stick to iPhone (coming from iPhone 4) or try Android. I said I don't know his usage and preferences. He did his research and filtered everything else except the Nexus 5.

Only reason when I asked why. He wanted pure Android experiences, coming from iOS. He had no knowledge of root and flash, etc.

It wasn't me who recommended this phone. The point is, Nexus has reached to the point that even normal users are interested in this. The whole point is to be able to do what normal phones can do, with pure Android experiences, not having to worry to flash this or that.

Yeah. It's a choice. Not like few years back where you must root for smoother UI and performance optimizations.

Exactly u got it spot on. Out of curiosity I'm with my gf now so I took out her Nexus 5 to check her battery usage :-

Battery left :- 46%
Standby time :- 14hrs
Sot - 1hr 50 minutes

I belief if fully utilised should be able to get above 24hrs standby time and close to 4 hrs Sot. For 2300 Mah battery it should be able to last a day of use.

Android L supposed to increase battery usage by 30%, so more than enough.

LOLz, afraid users hack/modify it to cheat company ?

I also got friend who bought Nexus 5, because I demonstrate how smooth it is, and he wasnt interested in root/custom rom.
I can see why iPhone users could want Nexus, because Nexus was purest Google experience, and it's the simplest to start, no crazy features you never use.

does DirectD sell N5 silicon cases? thinking of going there to pick one up later

Lolz I don't know. Ask the company la. Oh well but company shouldn't be advising their employees to use secure encrypted rooted-phone-not-allowed app on personal phones. They should provide it to them. Well that my 2 cents.

Well, BYOD was that you use own phone for company business, which I wont do it. Dont work when you're off work, if possible la

I dont really recommend Nexus to anyone that hasnt enough knowledge to Android. Like you said, need kernel and ROM tweak to have good battery life, need good app for better camera experience, need custom apps to fill up your personal need etc.

I alway recommend Nexus to my friend who want to switch to android. Why?? Coz its cheaper, and they get that vanilla android experienced. I almost ditch android due to horrible Touchwiz. But fate saved me
Honestly, if want to compare IOS vs. Android, it must be idevice with nexus. Even a none tech like me, glad that I found my vanilla, not those "rojak" by sammy, etc...

Recent rom updates addressed many issues. No need to root or change anything. Just use it. Over 24 hours of standby time and 4 hours SOT is already on par with LG G3 and Find 7. Camera with Ois can take good night shots, day shots also decent. RM1k for 32GB has more memory than other 16gb phones.

Haha damn right. Work is never ending. Bring work home also got new work waiting for you. Bahahahahahahaha.

Probably I misread your words, but I won't recommend them also. Based on my story in previous post, he did his research. And when he called me, he just asked what to check and what downside will he expect. I said probably camera based on his usage, and battery life don't expect too much. I also mention about the speaker.

He didn't mind. So yeah he said he is good to go to get a Nexus. If he still complaints after that, none of my issue. I don't care.

Oh and I mention about warranty also, no issue. Good to go too.

Most laziest way I did was, its a Google phone for tinkerer, you should not get this. Easy. Unless they did their research, I won't bother explaining. I will use the above template.

And I never mention about custom stuff to them. Like example of the guy is coming from Note series, i will mention about the battery life, don't expect much. If he came from iPhone 5, mention about the camera.

I will then backup my statement about camera, as long as I feel good about sharing in insta or fb, its good enough. They are sharp and quite good IMO anyway.

But battery cannot backup. It's bad. I will say, carry a powerbank. If the guy was an iPhone user or smaller battery capacity phones, he won't mind.

Try recommend this to those using opo or note(those normal users) , they will outright reject this phone edy.

I have to agree, I never thought of using my oneplus camera for pics. Always pulled out my Nexus. OIS reallyyyyyy made the difference.

so far only 1 of my fren using nexus5, the rest all comon phone like samsung s3/note3,s5,xiaomi mi3 , minote. colleague ask me what phone to buy i only recommend them comon product like xiao mi if no budet, or samsung if "no budget", why? cause i know every 1 want easy to get casing lah and sp and good service. so far these 2 brand service record still good base on my experience.

that day deal with a forumrer here i was surprise that she also using red nexus 5... i was like kind of salute... no offense to ladies but i hardly see any ladies using this phone...

I hardly see anyone (from my location). Saw 4 in the wild which are 2 forumers here, 1 colleague, and 1 in my client office.

edit: oh wait, another +1 forumer where met up with him to help him flashed back to stock, so 5 in total.
