This is my first nexus phone coming from the Note 3... Miss the multitasking features Samsung incorporated into the Note series.

yep, that's the trade off, features vs performance. but if you're comfortable with rooting and flashing Roms then you'll get the best of both worlds, in a cheaper package lol

Unless u only paid 570cdn for it ??
Came from a Note 3 to this Nexus 6 and I actually miss the Note. So much hate towards Samsung for having lag but this phone isn't all that much faster as said by various users. I am however enjoying the on screen buttons though. I hated that terrible home button from the Note haha...
This work just as good if not better than split window on Samsung phones.

On my rooted LG G2 I started to use xposed and put xfloatinghalo to get multi-window feature. I was hoping it would also work on the nexus 6, so Im waiting to see if someone can confirm it before I buy one.

Use the app I did. Works the same and it's free
Can you add any app to it? Also if you have two apps will they evenly split the screen?

The phone is awesome. It is definitely smooth as butter IMO. I had the Note 2 previously and it wasn't near as smooth as the X. To me, it is right on par with the smoothness of an iphone. I highly recommend it to everyone who asks about it.

I've owned every big phone (GS4,HTC One, N4, etc) and I can easily say this is the best phone I have owned. Super smooth with every task and exceptional battery life. I have not had one frame drop in anything ui or gaming based so far. I would highly recommend it to anybody and I have most of my family upgrading to it.
I thought it was supposed to take a while to load facebook and games, this phone has no lag at all.
I've had the Galaxy S3, Note 2, and HTC One before the Moto X. For me, the Moto X has the best call quality and volume.
O have an Xperia S but I want to buy a MotoX it really worth to buy it? Or only for the camera should I stay with the Xperia S?

Good phone but it was not for me, I tried it and I really didn't like stock Android just to plain. I'm use to all the bells and whistles or gimmicks as what there called around here lol.

I will admit having to find the work arounds for the features I was used to from HTC (IE Facebook Contact Pictures) was a bit of a hassle.
Yeah got pretty sick of my Galaxy S4 and it's mf3 update. Specs really don't matter to me as long as everything is stable. The only thing I'll really miss is the ir blaster. I debated on going to the htc one all the way up to the xperia z1. I'm just gonna wait. Can anyone recommend me some good roms? Something stable with features like Halo and Focal and all the good stuff? I know there's a lot and I'm late, but I'm sure there a lot of others looking for the same answers since google sold out of nexus 4s and theres a lot of new users. I should have mine tomorrow morning.

Well, HTC devices are very high quality, after you get past the carrier blocks to root, unlock bootloader, s-off and flash a custom rom, (aosp preferably because its always newer than sense).
But I'd rather get the updates first at the cost of a camera not being as good and ease of rooting.

I agree. HTC is my favorite when it comes to hardware. I've had the N1 and a One X+ from them.This is going to be my first LG. I know when Google works with companies on their Nexus phones they're usually top notch. My last one was a Galaxy Nexus and I was amazed by the build and it felt perfect in the hands. I can't wait to see how the Nexus 5 is.

Yes, I think you are right, but as we commented in another thread the other day (the sony nexus concept phone) there are some brands who could never work with google to make THE NEXUS. They can make google editions, as samsung and htc did, but the nexus, in my opinion, has to be a cheaper phone, so sony and htc should be out of this game...

True but the fact that it boasts about waterproof, build quality and parts, gaming controller instigation for Ps3 and PS4 it's almost like they know how to build a sturdy tablet. Nexus 7 just has a popular dad and a reliable company which makes it popular.

I actually used it a lot. I would use it when I lost my remotes and got too lazy to look for them. At the sports bars to mess with my friends and some other random things. The funniest part of having it was when people would ask what app I used. Mainly iPhone users. Then i would have to explain it needs an ir blaster! Maybe the next iPhone will have them (not) lol

Try Vanir ROM. It's the smoothest and fastest I've used, it has some unique features and a CM10.2 base. Also has Pie, Halo, Focal and tons of USEFUL tweaks.

Just as I was starting to get use to the size of the Note 3 and all the crazy bloatware on this device, I gave up ... and have started using the Nexus 5 as of Friday. Anyone else move to the Nexus 5 from the Note 3? Are you keeping it in hopes of CM 10.3 someday soon or selling it? Trying to decide if I'll hold on to mine in hopes of a good root and CM ROM soon, or will the Nexus 5 be my phone for the next few months.
I seen a review on youtube, and I will definitely not be getting that phone.
Bad camera
Bad speakers
Washed out screen
Bad battery

I've been on the fence to do it since Nexus came out. But one of my colleagues has it and display is not good at all. it is 1080p but a mediocre one. It has pinkish hue in whites. I like its size and feel but Note is something else as far as battery and display. The only thing that sucks as for now is not knowing when 4.4 is coming.
I got my note a few days before the nexus came out. But I'm glad I got my note, I think it's superior to the nexus in all ways, except for the vanilla and getting updates immediatly aspect. I just wish att would give an option to unlock our bootloader. If they do then I definitely will not regret buying this phone at all.

You are right, the display does look a bit washed out.
I do love the Note 3 display, I just had the TouchWiz ... and how I can't default things to Google Apps like Calendar , and get rid of the nasty top menu bar with that ridiculous N always up there. I'd love to see a Google Edition Note 3

No way lol. Stock Android is boring and a complete joke to me. And the look of it with the big icons is just stupid.
Add to all of that terrible battery life, a mediocre camera, worse speaker than on this phone and it's a big nope for me.
And did I mention how much I hate stock Android and how boring it is? I love the features of the Note and will deal with some bloat to have all of those features.
The Nexus are popular because of lower price and immediate updates. Otherwise they suck imo.

My wife just got LG G2. It's considered to have an excellent display. But I was reminded how much I love Oleds. And not for the saturated colors (I put it in movie mode) but for deep blacks. People should make a bigger deal regarding the contrast of these screens. It's truly a major feature and affects the whole experience.
So while I would consider a Nexus 5 a great phone the oled will bring me back to Samsung devices. I just wish Samsung got their act together software wise.

Yeah I just used Titanium to uninstall things that I knew were safe to uninstall and then froze whatever I was iffy about.
Then I installed the xposed framework and Wanam to customize my status bar and other things. The phone is running great and is exactly how I how I want it right now.

While I would love to have vanilla google over cartoony touchwiz, it's a step down to go to the N5. Pretty much every phone atm is a step down imo.
I'd consider giving it a try if I could find a used one somewhere, but I've had every version of the note, and it's the only android line that keeps me coming back to android.
I probably didn't give the phone much of a chance I only had it for 48 hours, but the lag and the fact I got offered a iPhone 5S, Galaxy Note 3 and a Nexus 7 (2013) for it, made the decision easy.
What phones have people decided to move too, either by trading or returning there Galaxy S5?

You got offered all three? or chose one of the three? - 48 hours isn't much of a test I gotta say, I'm actually toying moving to it myself (M7>Note 3> Nexus 5). I ordered an M8 but.. problems with delivery + CPW being idiots I cancelled it.. however I'm in two minds still as to switch to the S5 or the M8.

I got offered all three for the S5, so it was kind of a no brainer. I'm now toying with the idea of trading the iPhone for another S5, and trading the Note 3 for an iPhone, seems long winded but that's the only option. I need an android phone and a phone with iOS.
Regarding the lag, I've read a few places (reviews also) that it can be pretty bad, how true is it? - surely a phone with such a high spec shouldn't lag even with TW bloat?
Where did you get this offer? I'd happily part with my s5 for those 3!

Well, I've owned one for about a week now and I don't have all this lag that some people are talking about. Sure there might be a tiny hiccup here and there and some of the native apps take a second or two to open up from a cold start, but I don't have any major issues.
It is nothing out of the ordinary and it's an overall fast and smooth device.

It's all simulated lag. Turn off double click to start S-Voice. Disable My Magazine. Turn all animations down to 0.5x and BOOM, "lag" gone.
I actually did this side by side with the M8. I noticed the M8 was ridiculously fast at opening and switching between apps and the S5 was always slightly behind. After changing the animations on the S5 to 0.5x, BAM same speed.
I went to the s5 from the s3, as I skip every other galaxy. (s1-s3-s5). I have to say, what a difference between this and the s3. Dont get me wrong, they are both similar. But a 1080p amoled is stunning, the phone also feels great and is a beast. Also, not sure why so many people are complaining about the finger scanner, I can easily unlock using one hand and my thumb. Great phone !

Make sure to reboot your phone too. Phone was laggy as hell when first booted. The only thing that is a little slow for my taste is opening the multitasking list.

Personally I think it's a fair trade off. I had the M7 and it has bare bones software features. If they would have added more software functions like multi window I probably would have got the M8. Realistically the M8 is the M7 with a depth sensor. They didn't really need to upgrade the processor because it ran fine on the 600 chipset. At least I know Samsung is trying to utilize the power of the 801 chipset.

I'm still curious where and how the OP got offered such a ridiculously good trade...

When people see new devices it's like an ora of "I want" - you'd be surprised what some people would offer for something so that they can get their hands on it straight away. Crazy offers aren't that uncommon tbh.

I figured I would make this thread so people who don't have the note 5 could ask owners questions. Camera questions, screen questions, performance questions!! Any questions!! Ask away!
How much usable memory is on the 64gb and 32 GB?

I +1 this question
And
Is the fingerprint scanner a swipe type like the note 4?
i already have a bunch of stuff on it, so i can't say about the available storage fresh out off the box.
But for the fingerprint scanner - no, it's not swipe. just touch. i must say it's fast and accurate.
Hey hows the software? Can you open a few apps and switch betweem them smoothly?
Hoping the note doesnt have the ram problem the s6 did
Do ear buds come with the Verizon variant or do we get screwed again?

I guess it depends how many apps - and which ones - you juggle with.
I did not restart my phone the last 48 hours. Now I successively open email (shared inbox), play store (my apps page), play newstand (any given feed), quickpick (a folder with ~ 1,000 pics), maps, freecell (and launch one game), the chive (and open one post), hangouts (one given conversation), habit browser (and open a heavy website).
Recent Apps open fast, the Note 4 lag is definitely gone.
Switching to the 10th app in the list shows it has been closed. the app re-loads. but where it was (same thread or page or folder etc.). So if the apps open fast, it's fast. if it's a slow loading app, it's slower. but you get back to where you were anyway. and slower does not necessarily mean slow. that phone is fast.
But if i stick to only the 4 or 5 most recent ones, it's pretty much instant, no reloading.

It runs smoothly for me. This is by far the quickest Samsung phone I have used.

Hard decision , i have the 12gb edge on verizon.

Is the advanced messaging enabled on the note 5 already?

I thought I would come back and leave this here. I guess I did install some stuff. Here is information on the storage for my 32gb.
I also wanted to come back and leave these. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to ensure a precise bench mark using Vallamo or Antutu let me know. Here are my results before and after encryption.

Damn I have 16Gb of music on my s6 (102gb used out of 112.62gb)
I really would prefer the 32gb (price) but I'm not sure I can manage (32gb + 64gb otg storage)
Does anyone know which Languages the S Pen on the note 5 can handle. I.e. can it handle European Languages like Norwegian, even though a localized version will not be sold at the moment?
If anyone knows how to change the snooze to longer than 5 minutes please tell me. I'm not sure why they would make that the only option.
