The fifth iteration of the famous line of smartphones from Google is the epitome of a great number of advantages. Among the latter: the incredible performance of a clean version of the operating system Android, relatively compact dimensions, high-quality display, outstanding performance and adequate cost. Despite all of the above, the device is peculiar one drawback. This, as you probably already guessed, is about unsatisfactory autonomy of the device. Whatever it was, one of the reasons for this problem will be fixed in the upcoming update. What exactly does this mean? Let’s find out.

Frankly, Nexus 5 has never been famous for the outstanding duration of work without being connected to the charger. Moreover, the smartphone has demonstrated one of the weakest results among other flagships on the green robot. However, in the early spring of this year in various forums users google-phone began to appear on the new scourge, which has worsened the already weak performance.

The problem was in the process with a rather strange name «mm-qcamera-daemon», which was shown in the tab with detailed information on the consumption of the battery charge. According to our colleagues from phonearena, notorious process discharged smart about 2.5 times more active than the device’s screen.

One of the managers of the search giant has suggested that the problem lies in the application Skype, update which triggered the implementation of the above process. However, after several updates the situation has not changed: some users still complained about too rapid discharge. By the way, not everyone helped out and Android 4.4.3.

It is obvious that such a response could not hide from the sight of the company’s employees. Craftsmen from Google is not only set to solve this problem, but it seems to have already found it. This can be judged on the basis of entries in the tracker AOSP, where you can find a lot of interesting information about future projects.

According to the content of one of the recording, the operation of the process will be established on all copies of Nexus 5 after upgrading to Android L. I want to believe that people are patient enough to wait for the promised update launch, which could happen very soon.

What do expect from the successor Nexus 5 you, dear readers? What features are necessary for the unconditional leadership in the smartphone market? Share your opinion in the comments under this article.

Good news for Friday morning – Android application can follow you. Well, let me know, then okay, you and certainly never turn off GPS (a-ta-ta!). And if I tell you that the smartphone without your knowledge may include any camera and take pictures of you or the world around us? So welcome to a cat.

Shimon Sidor, a computer scientist and blogger, found a loophole in Android for espionage. There are apps in Google Play, who are trying to photograph the screen of your phone. But it’s still okay. I Antutu constantly asks the option to enable the camera. And these applications store in abundance. But it is also the beginning. After all, there are applications that do not ask for permission even. Just run the program and leave the active display. Everything else the phone will do itself. True, will display the camera screen, and if you have not gone, and sit with the phone in hand, you still see that the smartphone takes as you read twitter feed.

And here it comes Shimon Sidor. He developed an application (only for Nexus 5, but if that – further more), which displays the camera image size 1×1 pixel. At a density of 445 ppi display it can not be detected. Only if you suddenly eyes like an eagle.

In short, according to the Shimon, the findings are disappointing. Android can really turn your camera to take pictures of what he wants, and send the image to a private server. Complete with GPS it all allow you to make some bad man trouble. After hitrorukie villains will know where you are, who is close to you, and will even be able to examine the situation of your home. Interestingly, the answer is Google. And if they have time to answer before you buy a BlackPhone.

The camera of the Nexus 5 is certainly not the best 8 megapixel camera on the market. The photos are not horrendous but we can not consider them very good and on par with other competing devices. That the Nexus have never shined under the media profile is known since the Nexus One but it seems that Google is aware of the problem and is preparing a new software update that will improve the picture quality and the process of elaboration of images taken.

Gina Scigliano, Android Communications Manager at Google, has stated that:

The team is aware of the issues and is working on a software update will be available shortly That | The team is aware of the problems and is working on a software update that will be available soon.

In addition to this new details have emerged in relation to the article that we published last week | Google is working on new Camera API with support RAW format . Also according to Gina Scigliano, Google is working HAL (HardwareAbstraction Layer) in order to improve the yield photo on Android. It is basically the ability to interact with this layer through a set of APIs that developers, and especially the producers, can be exploited to improve the process of photo processing algorithms and inserting changes specific to a particular product in a more simple and effective.

Although there is no date and time information, the new features will be available to all, and may also be implemented by brands that use Android on their devices. Gina Scigliano has finally confirmed that the Nexus 5 will soon feature burst mode and RAW support even if it is closely linked to the management of HAL.

You have only the 32GB model in white at Play Store. After the exhaustion of the cuts 16GB seems that users are “satisfied” of the model with more memory, and the black seems to always be the color most chosen. With Christmas around the corner and availability now ended for almost all versions (we’ll see how long the 32GB white), the hope is that Google can replenish the stocks in the short term. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the holiday to sell a significant number Nexus 5.

Last year, Google had entrusted to LG to roll out its Google Phone, which later became the famous Nexus 4. The latter, as we know, has been realized in the footsteps of ‘Optimus G, in fact this year the Nexus 5 should be made ​​good impressions on the G2.

The Nexus 5 in the comparison is that which is the last and certainly very reliable render, and how you can immediately see from the pictures, compared to last year, the two smartphones LG does not have much in common.

Also with regard to the technical specifications seem to be many differences, although it has always referred to the G2. The camera of the Nexus 5 should be 8 megapixels instead that of G2 is 13-megapixel, the display will always be 5-inch Full HD but for the Nexus 5, instead of 5.2 inches for the G2; 2300 mAh battery for the Google Phone, instead of 3000 mAh for the G2.

Unfortunately, despite all these considerations, even today we do not know what will be the date of presentation and debut of this smartphone Google.
