    [Closed] Win a Nexus 5X from Android Central!

    Is the Nexus 5 Cell signal reception really that bad?

    From what I can tell, there are no issues with my Nexus 5 on T Mobile. There are some areas of my commute that have some dead zones but those same dead zones are present on my Fiancee's Moto G. So I'm inclined to think it's just a T Mobile issue and not a Nexus issue.

    Nexus 5 KitKat 4.4.4 WiFi Issue

    I tried switching to a different router ( I have two hooked up). I haven't had any problems with my laptop, Roku or iPad staying connected to that router. I will try the other one and see what happens. Thanks everyone.

    Nexus 5 KitKat 4.4.4 WiFi Issue

    Hello everyone. After I updated to Android 4.4.4, I noticed that my WiFi will stop working some time after connecting to a network. At home, when I first connect, everything works fine but after a bit (not sure how much time will pass), the connection will work, even though it still shows it...

    New Nexus 5 owner, kinda a rant:)

    I liked Hangouts too but I got Textra to set different notification alerts and light colors for different contacts. I had to as I needed to know who was texting without looking at the phone. And now that I use Textra, I love it.

    Nexus 5 Notification Light

    I know the Textra app lets you set different notification lights for the app or by contact. I have green (default), blue, red and orange/yellow lights depending on the contact. The ESPN Sportcenter app give a red light for final score alerts, Gmail gives white light alerts. Those are the ones...

    What was your previous phone? Do you like the Nexus 5 more or less? Why?

    I came from the original Droid Incredible. I kept it as long as I did because around the time of my upgrade time, I was buying a house so didn't have enough for a new phone. Then I held on to it to keep my unlimited data. Then when the Nexus 5 came out, I knew I could get it for a decent...

    Nexus 5: Naked or Case?

    I have a case because I don't trust myself enough to not have one on it, though I don't drop my phone often. But as an added bonus, my case has a small kick stand on the back, which was useful this weekend while watching WatchESPN and Netflix (getting caught up on Archer).

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

    I ordered the 32GB Black Nexus 5 on Monday the 10th. It originally said it would leave the warehouse in 3 to 4 weeks. The next day on the 11th, I got a notification that it had been shipped and it arrived today!. I booted it up and synced my Google account via WiFi. I can't use it as a phone...

    can't get to hboot (trying to root)

    I had a similar issue of not getting into hboot. When you power down, you might have to pull the battery for a couple of seconds than put it back in and power it on holding the power button and volume down.
