any guidance on how you installed lineage 18.1? i looked on the lineage website and it was not available for this phone. I cannot seem to get it recognized on my computer. I looked on LG website and cannot find the drivers. if you have any websites, it would be appreciated.

Had mine for 7 years, currently running Lineage OS 18.1, Android 11 and working pretty much perfectly. It's only used as a backup but the new OS helps it to still feel current. The only let down, by today's standards, is the camera and getting slightly bogged down with certain apps working with only 2gb ram...

I'm using Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 to back up my Pixel 3 and Essential Phone. Loving it so far. Battery is weak but it charges really fast with my huge power bank and it doesn't eat much from it.
Kiwi Browser is very smooth especially if you watch YouTube instead of its own app. Got the Nexus 5 for only $30 and condition is 9.5 excellent. I now understand the love for both after all these years.

My son bought this for me for Christmas the year it came out! Loved it. He then upgraded to another phone for me about three years ago and it died. I of course had the Nexus as backup and I am using it now until we figure out the next plan. The only issues that I am having is like many of you stated, the battery doesn't hold a charge for too long but I'm okay with plugging it in a few times a day!

This has been my ultimate back up phone, still runs perfectly, battery is tired now and the plastic body is starting to go, starting to get cracks near the volume and power button from getting bent and the rubber coating has gone sticky and coming off, but has been the phone to survive the longest.

Mine still in shape, i even play heartstone daily on it, from 2013 to 2020 such a beast, obviusly batery is tired (last half day), and usb port is loose a bit.. the only problem i had was the camera error once every 2 months, that force you to restart the phone, other than that basically 7 years of daily use recently bought xiaomi mi note 10 lite, time to give n5 a well deserved rest!

I dunno how this phone's cam beats my other phone's 23mp cam, pictures from n5 shows the pores and tiny sweats from the face when you zoom the pics, unlike the 23mp phone that's all sharp and pixelated already when you zoom in

Awesome phone. Bought in 2014. 2020 and still using it (as 2nd phone since last month). Battery still last a day in standby mode. Got intermittent issue in camera. Sometimes unable to start the camera and have to restart the phone to re-enable it.
I love the big app icon design without boundary (like they applied in Pixel). They look very nice.

Ashok Gupta, 20 Jun 2020Wifi not working switch not on from today how I can get on ... moreYou need to replace the back cover and it will cost about $5-10.
If you are intressed in hacking then you can install Pwn-Phone ROM or Kali Nethunter so you can hack with your phone.

My girlfriend uses my old Nexus 5 and I was surprised to find the other day that it can get a 4G signal. Don't think we had 4G in 2013.
