I'm sure they'll fix it with a 0.1 release soon. But when I have some time I will do a backup and full reset again and see if that sorts it.

The factory reset did speed it up noticeably for me. Didn't fix the battery life though. (Or the dubious design decisions :p)
 
urgh.. dropped my nexus in the water :( ripped the back-cover off, turned it off and dropped in the rice for asians to come over the night and fix it - no offense!

hopefully it'll live.

Every Android I've ever had shows as a USB Device, drag and drop? Are you sure you have drivers installed correctly?

Apparently a combination of it not being removable storage in the N5, and a KitKat+ 'feature', means USB Mass Storage is not available on the N5.

Its MTP, and it sucks balls.

can still drag and drop all the files quickly back and forward between PC and MAC computers though.

Agreed. Granted, I don't know the technical details of what type of connection, but simply plug your phone in and drag data off.

Of course, almost all of my data is backed up through the cloud, so I don't tend to need to do this very often :)

In theory....

It shows as a device and I browse it like a normal drive, but copying files is incredibly slow, and fails if I select more than a handful, at least when it doesn't just hang Explorer.
 
why hasn't usb mass storage been in android for years? it was on my htc hero years ago and was great that a phone could just be plugged in and i could transfer files. why would this be removed? to force cloud services? licensing?
 
I think it was partly due to the fact that old phones used to have a memory card (micro SD?) which was configured as a mass storage device. When they got rid of SD slots on the nexus devices they were no longer treated as mass storage, I guess because the os is on the same drive now? I may have made that up, sure I read something like that somewhere though!
 
I think it's down to a PC and the phone accessing the data at the same time. Connecting mass storage basically removes the ability of the phone to access the files. MTP doesn't make such distinctions.

While mas storage is often more usable for us tech heads, its for cameras and memory cards, not phones.
 
Yeah the storage space in a phone without an SD slot is in reality just a virtual partition on a single lump of storage that the phone is also using as its storage.

After a couple of weeks using lollipop whilst I like the features there are many issues.

It is generally laggy
Typing on the keyboard doesn't keep up so laggy
Many apps don't work or crash after some time
Battery life is appalling
Screen reloads are slow and transitions are slow
Booting up is slower
It is just generally not very responsive
You can't disable completely the guest account

I'm somewhat disappointed and hope an update comes about soon. It's almost making me want to go back to a Samsung phone!

Out of interest what keyboard are you using? I turned off the lollipop default as it looked horrible and went back to the old style.
