    Nexus 5 with Nokia DT910 wireless charger

    I picked up a Nokia DT910 wireless charger for price I couldn't pass up. Charges quickly and the phone sits at a better angle than the TYLT VU. It has an NFC tag built in and was hoping to use it to make some bed time adjustments. I just found out the built in tag is read only. Is there anything...

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

    I really miss my Nexus 5! A couple of months ago, I got a black 16gb and instantly fell in love with it. Last month, my son's black 16gb got stolen out of his locker at the gym. He couldn't buy a replacement until his tax return arrived, so I gave him my phone. He works the night shift and...

    Speaker holes and rattling buttons

    Louder ringtones seem to really help and I have decided to keep the phone. There no disputing that it's an amazing piece of gear and at this price point, there is absolutely nothing that comes remotely close in comparison. Thanks for all the advice!

    Removing Google Search widget

    Is there any way to move/remove the Google Search (OK Google) widget from the top of the home screen? I don't use it and would like the space for something else.

    Speaker holes and rattling buttons

    Exactly. It wouldn't survive 1 day in my pants. I'm constantly leaning over machinery and benches. No, I don't. That is why I am here asking. The web is full of conflicting info and I was looking for feedback from people who had theirs replaced with the hopes of getting a louder one...

    Speaker holes and rattling buttons

    Yes, I can. I can mute the rattles by applying slight pressure to the buttons with my thumb and finger. Why make things up? I never complained about the vibrate being so strong. I complained about the buttons being so loose that they rattle with a nornmal strength vibrate. And no, that is not...

    Speaker holes and rattling buttons

    That is what I want to know... I wasn't aware of any "issues" with this phone until I noticed the ringer wasn't loud enough. I absolutely love it, but if I can't get the volume up, I'm afraid I will grow to hate it.

    I don't consider an insufficient ringer volume a ridiculous obsession. Loose buttons, probably...

    Speaker holes and rattling buttons

    First of all, I am not "looking for flaws" or "shaking my phone to hear something rattling". The phone shakes itself when vibrate is on. I guess it's selfish of me to want to use the vibrate feature. Regarding the speaker holes: In one day, I have missed several calls with the phone in my shirt...

    Speaker holes and rattling buttons

    I just received my Nexus 5 yesterday and I'm real disappointed. Serial number 312KPGSxxxxxx, and it has the small speaker holes and both the power & volume buttons rattle. I compared it to my son's phone from from the release date first run, and the only difference I see is that my sim card door...
