    Google Nexus 5 - Missed Calls, Anyone Else?

    Should we assume this will be fixed with a near-future software update? I'm not sure if I'm still having the same problem because there's really no way to find out unless I get a voicemail.

    Google Nexus 5 - Missed Calls, Anyone Else?

    It looks like ever since using the Nexus 5 I've been getting a bunch of missed calls without any sort of notice (i.e. no ringing, and no history of the call). The only way I find out is by getting a voicemail notification shortly after. Anyone else having this issue? And if not, anyone have any...

    Nexus 5: My First 72 Hours

    By "any screen" I think you're referring to any of the homepage screens (i.e. swiping left and right from the homescreen)? Or if you're using the search bar. Such a powerful feature like that should be available at all times. It does not work when using the browser, or while using any of the...

    Nexus 5: My First 72 Hours

    Just a few notes after using the Nexus 5 for a few days (coming from a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze): - The phone, overall, is awesome. - "Ok Google" is now a must-have feature moving forward. Love it. Unfortunately, they handicapped it on the Nexus 5, making it only usable when the screen is turned...

    What phone are you coming from?

    I'm actually replacing my Samsung Galaxy S Blaze . . . which I believe is something like a Galaxy S 1.5 (almost as powerful as an S2). So I should see significant upgrades with the Nexus 5.

    Share your Nexus 5 camera photos, videos, and thoughts!

    This seems like a solid review: Nexus 5 review | The Verge. Sadly, a reportedly disappointing camera and battery. Although, in this comparison: http://recombu.com/mobile/news/google-nexus-5-camera-comparison_M19696.html. I actually think the Nexus 5 is tied for 2nd place (with the iPhone 5S...

    Why I chose a Nexus 4 over a Nexus 5.

    He asked for opinions. We gave them to him. Not sure why you feel the need to come to his defense and implore that everyone who disagrees with his decision keep their mouth shout. After all, we are discussing a phone here . . . not someone's mother. P.S. $300 for a Nexus 4 is a terrible deal...

    Why I chose a Nexus 4 over a Nexus 5.

    As you mentioned already, it's personal choice of course. I look at the iPhone and the Nexus 4 designs as being heavily outdated. I much prefer the Nexus 5.

    Why I chose a Nexus 4 over a Nexus 5.

    I have to reiterate what's already been said here. It baffles me that you'd spend $300 for a Nexus 4, instead of buying the Nexus 5 because of tax. Two points come to mind: 1. If money was the prime reasoning in your decision making, you could have gotten an equally powered phone for a LOT...

    'I've Ordered a Nexus 5' Thread! (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Agreed. It's also entirely possible that they're bulking orders together for their own efficiency. Sure, maybe the guy who ordered one minute after launch has to wait an extra day to get theirs, but that system could very well shave weeks off of delivering the entire inventory. Google has made...

    Nexus 5 is better than the iPhone.

    I think that anyone looking to purchase a Nexus 5 is doing so mainly for the pure Android experience. Otherwise there are a few options that are arguably better than the Nexus 5 (including its twin, the LG G2, with a larger battery and better camera). The question also needs to be asked, where...

    Nexus 5 is better than the iPhone.

    Re: Nexus 5 is better then Iphone Hands-on with the Nexus 5 | MobileSyrup.com - "The Nexus 5′s screen is also something to behold: while it shares the same IPS technology as the LG G2, which we acclaimed as the best mobile display on the market, it is slightly smaller and therefore sharper. We...

    'I've Ordered a Nexus 5' Thread! (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Just got my shipping email. Ordered 30 minutes after launch. Being delivered to Texas.

    Man, Google might suck me back in.

    It sounds like you're pretty indecisive. HTC One to iPhone 5S to Nexus 5 in a matter of weeks? If you're struggling financially, the smart thing would have been to wait another 3 weeks to buy the $349 Nexus 5. Instead you chose to spend $750 and now you want to take a $300 loss on that phone to...
