bbc news has mentioned there's been a few issues with the update. any chance this may slow the update cycle now as errors are coming back?

I’m pretty sure Google is aware of most of these bugs. When they say errors, I think they mean installation errors, rather than bugs.

i'm sure they're aware too. i'm just under the impression the staggered release is to deal with bugs as they appear and stop updating users phones is enough get discovered. if there is enough bugs to require a bbc news article about them, could this be enough attention for google to delay/reduce the update coming out

The staggered release is so it don't over load there servers like apples when they do an update.Fairly sure the answer is no said:
BBC etc like to jump on stuff like this and big it up

This was probably a system app that wasn't in the OTA, so the icon has no... erm, icon any more as the app is no longer installed.

The charging port on my nexus 5 isn't working properly. Anyone know anything about replacing this part?
Yes, I have had mine in bits a few times. The Nexus 5 is very simple to work on.

i just replaced my bezel and screen, it is easy to replace the usb port. however i would say you are in warranty for that
where did you purchase from?

You could just get a wireless charger if you only ever use the port for charging, but it is obviously more expensive than replacing the port yourself.
I've repaired a few Galaxys and iPhones and it's really quite easy, but it's not for everyone.

I purchased it from google when it came out, but I have rooted it so don't know if that voids any warranty. I looked at using a Qi charger or similar, but this would only be a half-fix as I like to connect it to PC to transfer media. Just in that limbo as to whether it's worth getting fixed or if i should get rid, which is annoying as it's all set up to my liking.
where did you get your screen from? I need a new one after messing mine up when I rode over it

Look at a few posts up. Replace base supplies all OE parts.
I wish I hadn't installed the OTA. I haven't been able to get a mobile signal ever since, and battery life is shocking (15% in 3 hours with 20mins of screentime). Luckily I've got Three InTouch so I can at least use the phone when connected to WiFi...
Apart from that it's great!

I might take time for the battery to rejig it's self. although i tend to agree that Kit Kat seemed better for battery.
Does anyone use Waze on a Nexus 5 with lollipop? I've found that the voice navigation (set to come through the phone speaker always) has become much lower quality. It sounds like lower sample rate somehow. Would be interested to hear if anyone else has the same issue.
