    Best SMS/MMS app for Nexus 5?

    Has anyone tried Hello SMS? It's missing a few useful features such as individual notifications and scheduled texts, but other than that it's a very user friendly layout and looks the part too. Hopefully it'll get some feature additions soon. In the meantime it's still my new messaging app, over...

    Droidkang rom and custom kernels on the Nexus 5

    Sorry to jump in unannounced, but I thought I'd give my feedback on Beanstalk. I've used CM11 for ages now using nightlies on my Nexus 5 and have been running M3, M4 and now the M5 version and I just LOVE CM11 and couldn't think of going back to stock, BUT... a few days ago I tried Beanstalk...

    Wi-fi and phone idle sucking up 50% of battery overnight

    That's odd. And frustrating! I usually charge my N5 nightly but occasionally it needs charging early evening so I leave off charge on 100% when I go to bed. 7hrs later it has usually dropped by about 5-7%. I should mention mine is rooted but I'm not sure whether that would make a difference...

    Atlanta Ice Storm 2/12/2014 Pics from Nexus 5

    Over here in the UK we've had much worse snow than we're used to in recent years, but nothing compared to what you guys get. The whole country grinds to a halt over here as we still can't cope and seem to get caught out every year. Those photos look amazing (partly due to the fantastic N5 :) I...

    Nexus 5: Which wireless charger is the best?

    That's good to know, thanks! It looks like one of the better wireless chargers. I just wish there were more with the magnets inside! Via Android Central App from my Nexus 5

    Nexus 5: Which wireless charger is the best?

    I'm in the UK and can't seem to get the PowerBot over here. It'd be ideal for my desk at work so I'm happy to buy from overseas but do you think there could be issues with voltage/current as it's different over here? I'm sure it would be fine but I prefer to wake up to fried eggs rather than a...

    air dock: wireless charging with magnets!!!

    Yeah the magnetic plate is pretty strong! I have mine mounted on the wall next to my bed so I just place the phone on it at night and it holds it so sturdy! Great for snoozing the alarm easily or reading texts/emails before I'm fully awake! Just reach across. Easy. Also, the digital clock...

    Love my N5, no issues at all!

    Haha, seriously though, I can imagine divorce being on the cards as I spend SO much time messing with my N5. This phone is absolute class! I've converted 3 Apple Fanboys (and one Apple Fangirl) to Android in my office. None have gone for Nexus yet though. PS: My youngest daughter dented the...

    Nexus 5: Which wireless charger is the best?

    Re: Which wireless charger is the best? I agree, the magnets make such a difference! I mounted my Nexus charger on the wall next to my bed (there's a gap of about a foot between the bed and the wall) and I plan to hide the cable in the wall. So at night I just place my phone on the charger on...

    Nexus 5: Which wireless charger is the best?

    Re: Which wireless charger is the best? I have the official wireless charger and the handset definitely does not get hot in the slightest. The actual charging plate is tiny, it's a lovely little charger. I'd say it charges slower than on standard USB but I can't be 100% sure because most of...

    A weekend with the Nexus 5 - Such an Awesome iPhone-like Android experience.

    That's what I love about Android. It's built for the users, free to customise their devices how they want! And so, so powerful. Welcome to the growing population of Nexusville, Androidland. Posted via Android Central App

    Love my N5, no issues at all!

    Hell yeah, I had the HTC One which I LOVED but couldn't resist some pure Google (I personally hadn't experienced that since my Nexus One!) so got the Nexus 5 32GB White 2 days after release. I have had no issues in that time. No case, no screen protector. I just love the slim and light feel of...

    Help! weird problem with my phone!

    That's really weird. What apps have you installed? Did it happen as soon as you got it or after a few days? What sort of ring tone is it? I feel for you! Must be so annoying :( Posted via Android Central App

    Similar to Smart Actions

    I was going to suggest Tasker but you're ahead of me. But all I can say is, stick with it. Once you get your head around it, the possibilities are endless! I have so many useful profiles setup, my phone automates an amazing number of tasks each day, based on Wifi connection, bluetooth...
