Anyone thinking of going from a S4 to a Nexus 5?
Right here
Anyone thinking of going from a S4 to a Nexus 5?
I think what he's referring to is explained here. I can say that I notice this on HSPA too if the connection is idle. It takes more than a few seconds as I can see the arrows start blinking and the indicator goes from 3G to H to H+ before data even starts flowing through.
Having LTE gives more of an instant response.
LG's last couple 8MP sensors have been stinkers IMO. (Nexus 4 and Optimus G).
Wish they were using the 13MP from the G2, they finally got a camera comparable to Samsung
More leakage, claiming actually two models;
16GB, 2300mAh, $299
32GB, 3000mAh, $399
"With that in mind, we are told that the 16GB LG Nexus 5 will feature a 2300mAh battery and will be priced lock, stock and barrel for $299. The 32GB LG Nexus 5 will be powered by a 3000mAh cell and will be priced at $399."

Yeah this is usually what happens...when it's working properly. When it's not, the phone kinda just...sits there. It never appears to do anything involving data unless connected to WiFi or synced at H+ speeds with the tower; nothing ever gets through when the phone is showing UTMS/3G or HSDPA/H links.
Occasionally when trying to get cellular data going whether through a browser, app notifications, or even just a data-based messaging app, I get nothing while the phone just never ramps up from 3G or flips between 3G/H/H+ back and forth until the apps timeout. Sometimes the modem will disconnect and reconnect to the tower but even then it's a coin flip as to whether that'll work; sometimes it does and other occasions it'll just repeat the same behavior.
HTC One S on TMobile in Los Angeles/San Gabriel Valley area. It can happen indoors, outdoors, where I work, right outside my own house, on either AWS or PCS towers, regardless of baseband version and ROM. I never could figure out why this happens after over a year.
The other thing that annoys me is that even though I select the option to never sleep on WiFi the phone seems to do it anyway as soon as the screen turns off. It's annoying as hell when I use an app like AirDroid for texting or transferring files over my home network, and especially when trying to tether. Is this normal behavior for Android or is this down to specific phones (if the latter, I sure hope Nexus behavior is different)?
I haven't personally used the g2 camera but from all the reviews they say low light sucks which the nexus 4 sucks at as well. I just want a s3/s4 like camera that can take quick pictures. The nexus 4 focuses too slow.
An "anonymous" tipster is cited as the source...More leakage, claiming actually two models;

I don't view that website as being anywhere near credible when it comes to things regarding Android.
It seems most sites(this one included) just report anything sent from an anonymous tipster just to generate page hits and not bother digging further on whether or not the anonymous tip is actually true.
Regardless of whether it has 2300mAh or 3000mAh, I'm getting the 32GB version.
Another source for the two battery sizes. A Japanese retailer has listed the two Nexus 5 models and they are also showing 16GB with 2300mAh battery and 32GB with 3000mAh battery. So it may be true.

The rumored dimensions put it almost the exact same dimensions of the LG Optimus G, making it considerably smaller (~19 mm shorter, ~11 mm narrower).Interesting. The 32GB with 3000mAH would be nice. Anyone know how much smaller the N5 would be vs the Note2? I like having new toys but love the size. I really wish they sold a GE of the Note 3
16GB?! Noooo! It's almost 2014 already, make 32GB the base!
Apple and Google totally suck in this regard.
WTF ?? Are you serious ??
If Google actually release 16gb version for $299 and there's still reason to complain ??
How many phone manufacturers have 32GB as the base standard for their flagship?16GB?! Noooo! It's almost 2014 already, make 32GB the base!

What if not everyone needs more?With that kind of attitude we'll be at 16GB base forever. Why shouldn't we always be demanding more? These companies make billions off of us.
Not bashing the site per say...Not going to bash the site, but the story makes no sense at all. Why would google make two models with different battery sizes. I'm sure there will be a 16GB and 32GB version but I'm not going to expect a 3000mAh battery. I'm content with the credible leaks we've seen recently with manual and I'd be happy with that phone.

You're given the option for 32GB, and yet you're complaining that it's not the base standard?
What if not everyone needs more?
If you want a 32GB phone, Google will provide one with the Nexus 5.
Stop complaining that 16GB is still the base standard.
I'd rather they spent that extra money on battery than making 32GB the base standard.
With that kind of attitude we'll be at 16GB base forever. Why shouldn't we always be demanding more? These companies make billions off of us.
You are not basing this on reality are you ??
This is a phone thats has better features than a S4 for half the price and you're whining about 16gb ??
Samsung is making billions but their phone also sells for ~$600.
Google certainly isn't making billions off the hardwares.
I for one feel lucky that I'm able to buy a top tier phone for 1/2 of what everyone is charging.
