bongohawk Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 http://www.androidcentral.com/googles-nexus-6-reportedly-spotted-engulfing-hand-its-user-bus-ride?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=dlvrit Well apparently a Nexus 6 was spotted in the wild. Again, who knows if this is actually a Nexus 6, but this just adds more fuel to the rumors floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamisonshaw125 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Reading the TKTechNews article about the Verizon and AT&T exclusive gave me a headache. That author can't write grammatically correct sentences to save his life. An "and" was missing the "d." Snapdragon was spelled with a space. Nexus wasn't capitalized in a few places. There were inconsistencies all over the place. I definitely would read this article with a grain of salt, and if he turns out right, well, then either his sources were correct or it was pure coincidence, and good for him, but I cannot take that kind of writing if they are aiming for credibility.Tk Tech News is notorious for writing bs blog posts and doing bs YouTube videos to increase his hits. Take everything he says with a bucket of salt, not a grain. He also said sprint is now going to throttle everyone whenever they want, rather than only the top 5%.... If you tell him he's wrong, he will cuss you out like a man child and delete your comments. Sent from my iPhone 6 on Crapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCUJuan Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 In case anyone is interested in buying a nexus 5. Just listed mine on eBay. Buy from a fellow s4gruer http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251664915051 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaQue Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 About 10 AM my Nexus 5 down to 17% battery. Mostly streaming audio (KTRS). My buddy Don charges his 6+ every other day. It gets tempting to bite the Apple bullet. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets tempting to bite the Apple bullet. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Wow... it shouldn't be that bad. If you are into rooting and stuff, try using Franco's kernel. I was able to get over a days worth off each charge with approximately 4-5 hours of on screen time with my N5. (But the iPhone 6 does give me better battery life) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kojitsari Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I second rooting and installing franco's kernel. I regularly get ~5 hours of screen time with 26-28 hours of total usage per charge. This is including at least a few hours of Pandora during the day, off wifi all day, and flopping between 3g and searching for LTE (nearest tower is having ecsfb issues).

That's faster than I have ever seen the battery discharge aside from streaming video non stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conquereddroiduser Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I just had a similar type of drain. Turned out google location services had gotten a perma-wake lock that wasn't showing up in wake lock detector. Got that fixed and am back to my usual 6am-10pm with 3-4hrs sot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaQue Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 FYI just sold this phone. My buddy "sold" his Note 3 on EBay and got a fake message made to look like it came from eBay that payment was received and send the phone to Nigeria. Keep an eye out if the buyer has no feedback yet. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metayoshi Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My buddy "sold" his Note 3 on EBay and got a fake message made to look like it came from eBay that payment was received and send the phone to Nigeria. Keep an eye out if the buyer has no feedback yet. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Yep... I always make sure my buyers are legit. And I always make sure the money is in my Paypal account before shipping. I did have to deal with those Nigerian scam artists before, and I had to try a second chance offer to a 2nd place winner. In the end they didn't respond and I ended up relisting the item. Luckily, it sold for pretty much the same amount to a legit person. Edit: Oh, there's also a reporting mechanism for eBay if you want to report a buyer. I ended up doing it for that specific account, but it takes a while because eBay allows a month or so for the buyer to try to fight the dispute. A month is soooo long when you're trying to sell something right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend needed a phone so I worked out a deal for her off ebay. Money is already on my paypal account and the phone is already on its way to her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorcy11 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm enjoying my trip back to the N5 so far. Battery life is reasonable (for the use I'm giving it) and I really like going back down to a smaller device. Going to give it a couple days before I decide to keep this and sell my Note 3 though. I have an upgrade coming in May, so I won't have to wait long if I decide to get something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 So I just filed an asurion claim for my nexus 5, paid $99 deductible, and they told me with no nexus 5 in stock I get a note 3, seems like a decent exchange. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
