As of this week, there's a creaking sound on my upper left side (of course, where else..)
Anyone else had similar luck? Was pretty happy with it up till now, well actually I'm mostly still happy with it.
I just assume I need to buy a new screen protector now if I RMA it right? Or do they give the same device back?
And does anyone know how the RMA process works if you bought from an Australian retailer?

They send the same device back if it is fixable but it might have a new screen on it

I used to claim i got a CBOK with no problem at all. Last 2 days the screnn lift appear. How did i notice it? I just got paranoid about problems on my N7. But now i realize that this thing is so tiny that its no a problemt at all. I will no brother myself because that kind of stuff. Love my n7.

Well I didn't care about my lift but now it creaks lol
But flawless apart from the screen issue, I've never had a problem with much flicker or speaker issues, only on 4.1, but 4.1.2 fixed for me.

I was offered a trade for a 32gb Nexus 5 for my Note 3. I was wondering if anyone is also considering this. I am stuck between the two. The only thing thats keeping me from doing the trade is that the battery is awful on the Nexus 5. Just wanted some opinions on this. Thanks
Nope. U getting some extra cash (I mean 399 vs 650) cause straight trade doesn't make sense, might as well sell the note and buy a new nexus

Yea..uh..Nexus 5 is a cheaper phone. No way

Definitely not worth the trade... If you wanted to you can just buy one used in a month for probably less than 300 and have both phones
agree with everyone here. just read all the reviews on both everywhere if you're still unsure. note 3 is still the best phone on the market. i was in your shoes too deliberating between the two and picked the note 3; very glad i did.
I'm sold on the Nexus 5 after I persuaded my coworker to get one, but I wouldn't even consider trading my note 3 for it.
The truth is I'm having some awful luck with my note. I'm on my 2cd device and I can't seem to stay connected to a wifi network. Plus the home button on both went from perfectly pushable to a sunk in button I have to mash with my fingernail. Sammy definitely didn't hit a home run as far as build quality imho.

I bought one to try and I love google phones but I'm way to happy with my note 3 it sold same day it got here

The Nexus 5 looks like a fine phone for the price. But my Note 3 has worked flawlessly, and I'm happy to pay more for the bigger, higher-res phone.

That's weird, I've had zero wifi issues. I'm using the 5ghz channel of my buffalo ac router. I also tested the 2.4ghz and no issues.
This thread is all kinds of wrong. First the Note 3 is worth a considerable amount more than a Nexus 5. Second, this phone beats it in some important categories including screen, battery life and features.
And last but not least, stock Android blows. Especially the latest version with those big and ugly icons. Stock Android is super boring to me and too light on features.
Just my opinion but don't do it.

Even with the bloat I think the Note 3 is far superior to any of Nexus devices. I even think the S4 is as well.

Battery life on the Nexus 5 compared to the Note 3, is night and day. The N5 can't even last a day, not even close.
And I still love the deep Plasma blacks, and vibrant colors of AMOLED screens, I've seen the N5 in store, and it looks washed out in comparison.
Plus more RAM on the Note 3.

Making a phone with that small of a battery is like putting a 3 gallon gas tank on a car...almost not usable. 3,500-4,000 mah should be the standard on phones these days. You would be very disappointed with the trade.

Erica Griffin from YouTube did a mini review of the Nexus 5 and she was only about 3:30 uptime, 2:20 screen time and she was at 26% battery. It's a joke and even she was saying the same pretty much.
If you are a moderate to heavy user in any way, why would you even consider the Nexus 5?

I just returned my nexus 5 today. It's hard to use anything with a non amoled screen after you have used a phone with an amoled screen.
The nexus 5 camera was also horrible.
Sad part is, I bought the nexus 5 and gave my wife my note 3 and now she won't give it back, so it's back to the sgs4 for me

I'm done with the Note series. I don't understand why Samsung is following Apple's greedy business ways. Any suggestions as to what to buy? I'm looking to buy really soon.
Thanks in advance! !

Other options coming soon with rumored stylus are LG g4 pro, lumia 950xt cityman. No stylus are the new nexus devices current gen nexus 6 if you don't want to wait, or even the zenfone2 is a midrange priced powerhouse of a phone. October should be interesting.

Are any of them phablets? I love the big sized screen.
Thanks for the reply. .

Or you can hold out wait for a few months for the new batch of phones, like the windows one, seagus v2, possibly a rugged note 5 with sd card slot and 4100mah battery, or go for the note 4, it's still and will be a great phone for at lease another year or 2. I don't blame you, I also want nothing to do with the note 5, it's a shame to me.
Ok. I hope the Note 5 has a second version. I would wait around for that.

Phablet options G4 pro should be 5.8 inch qhd, all metal back, snapdragon 820 and stylus. The windows lumia should be 5.7inch qhd and work with the surface pro 3 stylus.

Personally I'm waiting on the nexus 2015 line or to see if they release a better version of the note 5.
Just stay with the note 4
Moto x pure.
Sony Z5 Ultra. Was reading about it this morning. Looks pretty sweet. Not going to be released for a while though.

I got one and added some padding to the nose. It's a decent, but very basic headset. I got lucky and got on for 15 off ebay
