Nexus 5 2015 refresh

[Christmas themed thank]

No much use having a phone then either is it?

I use my phone for more than just phone calls though.

You can have a phone signal but not have enough signal for streaming.

I use mine for downloaded music and video's on my way to work on the train. Also for listening to music all day at work. Often don't have wifi (or don't want to use work wifi), and have a poor Data signal, (train goes through tunnels etc), and Wifi on train is throttled.

Theres so many valid reasons to have a SD card. Even for larger games etc.

Anyone experiencing a delay in the screen turning on after pressing the power button after the latest update?

Nope, seems fine here.

My only issue is patchy WiFi which seems to be a known issue.

Haven't tested many WiFi's but at work it is very flaky. Improved with the Oct patch which was meant to address WiFi issues but still not as expected.

Fine here

Is it just me or does the 5x charge port feel really flimsy? Mine feels like the solder joint inside is going to break. And I'm being really careful with it. It's the heavy end if the charge lead.

Any hints where to get an affordable new 5X? 16GB model would be fine?

I don't suppose...

Anyone knows of a USB-C speaker dock? It's quite frustrating that everyone seems to be great at catering to apple, but not so much for android on either the micro USB or the type C standard.

People still dock?

Wireless all the way.

The Nexus 5x doesn't have QI charging, and believe me - I've looked for a case that'll provide that. I'd like something that I can just put on the bedside table and charge over night.

Yet the Nexus 5 did - odd they decided not to add it to the following years refresh.

I meant dock for music. APT-X Bluetooth all the way.

Normally I would agree - but I've been looking for something I can dock and charge for the sake of convenience and cable management.

Not too sure if this is a bug or an issue but just unlocked my phone and it pretty much went from 22% to 19% in a few seconds. I then replied with a few words to another post on here and noticed it's now sitting at 17%. So 5% loss in approx 2 minutes if use. Now 15% just after writing this.

There are mods out there if you are any good at soldering.

Anyone put 7.1 on then?

Supposedly quite a lot of improvements performance wise and for the camera

Me, smooth as butter nice camera changes and phone app looks nice, can't see much else to be honest?

 

[Nexus18]

How about battery life?

 

[warren_1979]

Are they still making the 5x? I would really like this phone but it seems Argos are all sold out @ £199.

Hantec state 'due in soon' on the model I want. Is this wrong? Are there any more for handtec to get hold of?

It's pretty good tbh, fast charge is great too.
