Hi all I am looking for a new phone on a budget and the new Moto G5S Plus checks my boxes quite well. I like to use my phones for a few years - my Nexus 5 I had for 3 years until it died - so I wonder, how is Motorola's track record in terms of software updates and continuous support...

I'm using a Nexus 5 and my hands aren't exactly small. But I sometimes try and compare how I hold my phone most comfortably and how I have to hold it to reach, say, the notification center with my thumb comfortably. I think it's an awkward position.

When you get used to your phone you realize all the little things that are annoying in every day use. In a time where phones often go above 5" screen size, why do you think Google sticks with the awkward design choice to put essential menues, settings, notifications as well as quick settings in...

Great thanks a lot! I will give Google Now a second change. ;) Can you install icon packs on stock android without a custom launcher?

Hi everyone. I've had my Nexus 5 for about 2 weeks and I can say I am more than pleased. It's my first Android device. Great device for a great price - even today a little less than a year after release. As the title says, I have a few questions that I was hoping you could help me with. 1. Why...

I have managed to sync the calendar by using the Outlook.com app from Play Store. Anyone who can help me with Google Now?

Thanks for the replies all of you. It was very helpful! The only 2 things causing me trouble are the calendar and Google Now. Has anyone successfully synced the Windows 8.1 Calendar app with a calendar app in Android? My problem with Google Now is that I would like to use it to tell me how...

So I just got my first Android device coming from Windows Phone 7.8 - a Nexus 5 - and I'm really pleased so far! I know, I know, a Nexus 6 may come out soon but this was the perfect purchase for me. Anyway, as I'm new to Android there are a few things I need some help to do. 1. The first thing...

I was wondering for how long in the future can we expect the Nexus 5 to receive software updates? Is it officially stated somewhere that the support for the N5 will end on a specific date? I seriously consider purchasing a N5 even though a N6 may/may not come out soon because I'm on a budget...

I'm in the same situation as OP. Is it likely that the Nexus 5 would get updated to a newer version of Android a year from now? And what about 2 years from now? Will the Nexus 4 get Android L? That could be an indicator. When do you guys think an official spec list would be released and the...

Re: Nexus 6 I wonder if some of you guys can comment on this. Will the transition from a 32 bit architecture (Nexus 5) to a potential 64 bit architecture (possibly Nexus 6) be problematic for Nexus 5 owners when it comes to future software updates, also considering software updates beyond...

Great to hear a lot of positive feedback. I'm sure now that there is no alternative for me in terms of price and functionality and software and likely won't be for quite some time. Thanks for the thorough replies. :)

Great to hear. I think it'll be my next phone quite soon. :) I'm wondering if Google have anything up their sleeve right around the corner that I ought to wait for before making my investment? New devices, announcements, anything? I'm not really updated on the whole...

My old phone won't last much longer and I've been looking at the Nexus 5 to replace it for two reasons primarily: 1. Stock Android - gotta get 'dem software updates for as long as possible as reliably as possible. 2. Price - it costs 442USD the cheapest place I could find in Denmark, which is...

So I was wondering exactly what Hangouts do since I don't have a Nexus 5 (yet...) Is it only SMS, MMS and Google Chat (whatever that is) or does it also include WhatsApp, Facebook Chat etc.? Also, why exactly does Android have a Gmail and a generic e-mail app? How are they different besides...
