Tools were great and helped me open my Nexus 5 for the first time

Eric Swanson -

My Problem

GPS was not getting the best signal, so I tried to open up the phone and fix the contact points.

My Fix

Repair went great! I was not sure about opening my phone and thought that it would likely end with me having to buy a new one, but with the tools included I was able to pop off the back with no issues.

My Advice

When replacing the Nexus 5 rear cover, you have to push kind of hard on the back, slightly to the right of the "S", in order to get the NFC antenna to re-attach. At first I though I had ruined my phone, but once I pushed that into place (there was a small "pop" sound when it connected) it worked fine again.
