Cheers, I managed to find the answer via a google in the end so placed my order a few days ago, should be arriving second week in December

Just got a cheap Qi wireless charger.

Is it OK to leave the phone on it all the time I'm not using it, even when the battery is fully charged? The phone gets a bit warm while it's charging but I'm assuming that's going to happen with any Qi charger?

Has anyone found a way to attach documents to e-mails using the Gmail app? it looks like you can now only add pictures or videos, in the past the picture option allowed documents but now this seems not to be the case.

Easy, don't start from the mail app, just start from the document/pdf, look for the share option/button, and share it with "gmail".

which seems to be being just as sodding flakey. I uploaded stuff to my Google Driveso I could attach it to my e-mails say a CV which you would normally add to as a reply to the recuiter saying if you are interested please attach your CV and fill in this form.

Anyone having issues with voice quality? Few people have mentioned I'm breaking up when signal is 50%

And does anyone else's touch-pad vibrate sound broken? Loads of online reviews suggesting a dodgy vibrate motor (attached to the case or something rather than the body). It's OK on a long vibrate such as ringing but sounds awful on touch-pad vibrations. I've switched it off anyway, but curious.

And the screen rattles a fraction when you touch near the top of the screen. I think it's the volume buttons.

Might send it back in a few months if these are known issues

Well so much for the 11th of December, had an email this evening to say it has been dispatched.

Yes.

Use the 'attach picture' option, then when the screen of pictures comes up touch the 'Recents' icon in the top left. That gives you access to Drive, Downloads, Photos, Gallery and ES File Explorer (assuming you have it installed).

That works but the issue then becomes anything that isn't a picture isn't selectable to attach, I'd also prefer it if it didn't show every picture on my google drive as a preview.

Mine doesn't light up.

I've installed Light Flow, and this works (supports different colours) - http://www.droid-life.com/2013/11/06/reminder-the-...

When I was reading up over the weekend, there seemed to be a number of people complaining about the same issue. I'd rather not have to rely on the LightFlow application tbh.

I'm having this problem now. I've got Lightflow installed but it doesn't get around the problem. Has anyone found a definitive fix yet and has Google admitted it's a problem with the phone?

I bought an official LG one, and mine does the same. Haven't had a problem with my phone leaving it on there in the 2-3 months that I've had it.

I have a Koolpad qi charger, and while the phone gets lukewarm, I'd not say it gets hot at all.

I'm going to put my Nexus 5 (black, 32gb, mint) on ebay later. Anyone want it before I do?

You have to enable the LED in the settings before it'll light up for any app.

Why the change of heart? I thought you were getting on with this one?

Camera is tosh and I use it a lot. Other than that it's a great phone, but it's one of my 'must have' features.

Google are working on a fix for the laggy shutter, apparently, but I am not very paitent.

Worth checking, definitely. Settings > Display > Pulse Notification Light

I tried Lightflow, but it seemed that if I didn't set it up for a particular app, it actually blocked the native LED notification. Couldn't be bothered to go through and manually set it up for every app, so uninstalled it again and I'm just learning to live with the stock LED.

Might be worth having a word with the Lightflow developer. I use it on my N4 and he's very responsive.
