Nope, the 3 towers on NIU's campus don't have LTE....yet. You might be able to pick up LTE from the tower on University Road south of Malta.

Hmm... I must admit the battery life I'm experiencing is not real great. With my Evo LTE I was able to make it the entire day (5pm) before needing to charge if I had to charge then. With the N5, it's 3:30 and I'm at 14%. When I'm working from home with Wifi on, I don't experience the battery problems near as much. I know the service at work is having an impact, but I thought I would have the same if not real similar battery with this device. Maybe it's Play Services? My phone doesn't seem to want to sleep for any amount of time. I also wonder if the merge of Hangouts into the SMS client is part of the problem. I don't have reliable internet data (1X constantly) and wonder if that is part to blame.

Enable developer options, switch runtime to ART.

 

My battery life has improved quite a bit. Used to be sitting at 60% after 8 hours.

 

Now...

Not sure what you're taking about?

Yeah, ART gets better battery life. I have seen a few more examples of this as well.

Do the apps you're running need to be optimized to take advantage of ART? On xda I think there is a different version of gapps for ART.

When I switched it re-optimized all my apps for ART. I'm not rooted at the moment, so everything is either stock or plain Google Play.

I meant magnetized, not magnified.

I saw that but didn't think LG would add a magnetized lens for a 3rd party accessory.

The lenses have been around for a while, I think they just did it to make their product appeal to that niche. But who knows.

Apps don't necessarily need to be "optimized" for ART, but many apps still are not compatible with ART, hence the option being in developer options.

Of course! Have some dead pixel's and have to replace the device. :'(

Really? I was just joking, acting like I thought "magnified" meant "magnetized." Apparently, I read your mind.

Streaming still working too

Can (or have you) tried streaming a live station?  From what I've seen (and experienced), custom playlists work, but playing just a plain old station like it's on the air doesn't, or at least overwhelmingly doesn't (have heard people say they find a station here and there that does).

 

I only ask because I'm one of the ones it doesn't work for, which unless we're the very vocal minority, appears to be pretty widespread.  Exceptionally negative reviews on the Play store if you sort by device and check the N5 users.

[dedub]

yeah you are correct, it doesn't stream live stations.

 

it is downloading some kind of stream, but no audio.

[lafester]

tune in seems to be working ok... maybe try that one

So KitKat and the Nexus 5 have the feature where if a business calls you, then Google will pull up their information (name, address, etc) for you.  How well does this work without SVDO and SVLTE?

It doesn't work in my experience, unless I'm connected to Wi-Fi. It would probably work connected to GSM, though (not LTE).

 

On an unrelated note, last night I found that long pressing the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Location quick tiles will toggle them on/off. I was only used to the [superior] CM functionality, and never thought to long-press them before. Can't wait for stable CM 11.
