*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

5.1.1 seems to have fixed the infuriating memory leak at last.

What SOT are people getting on Lollipop?

 

[Paracelsus]

Correct, I have found some sites, however I'm not so sure if they are that reputable. As they are Eol are these sites stocking brand new phones or old ones?

Also I am quite tempted to get a reconditioned one from smartfones or refurb phones, thouh not sure about the second site.

I had this concern, but have bought a new one from a HK/UK based electronics company, the stock was shipped from UK on Friday, expecting to to arrive Tuesday.

I'll post again to confirm it's a new one on Tuesday.

I miss the N5. It was a good phone; shame about the battery life.

what's up with the camera ?
mines been great

They need to sort out the naming scheme tho.

When I bought my N5, I thought it was the fith Nexus. The Nexus 6 being the 6th. No of course it's the size that dictates if it's N5 or N6.

But this is confusing.

A phone with the name Nexus 5 2015 is not a good naming scheme.

On a different note, I reckon what Google are going is 5 inch device one year, 6 inch device the next.

Personally I find that 6 inches is just a bit too big for a comfortably held mobile phone, and (having also tried a 5.5" OPO), I reckon that 5 inches is about right... for me anyway!

What were you doing to see the memory leak? I must be either used to my previous phone and that having leaks as well, or I just dont get the leaks that everyone says exist on 5.1.0?

Leave your phone on for a few days and it will gradually slow down.

 

[Terrier_Jimlad]

sideloaded 5.1.1 earlier, ran like a dog for 20 mins after and now it's ok ... hopefully wont need to keep rebooting every 3 days

Anything else of significance in the update?

Dang, my uptime is currently at 286:14:38. Thats currently just over 11 days or so, and it still feels ok. I guess I don't use my phone in the same way as you do.

I must be lucky!

 

[Terrier_Jimlad]

Count yourself lucky then, anything beyond 3 days and I could feel it getting sluggish

 

[this_is_gav]

I never suffer from it either. Can go for weeks without restarting and mine still feels as sharp as the day it came.

 

[bad_ass_neil]

mine gets sluggish after a few days but it can change, its longer some time and i can go a week or so some times less, i guess it depends on how much the sluggishness bugs me.

 

[Terrier_Jimlad]

Get 5.1.1 slapped on it then

 

[djabs786]

just received 5.1.1 ota

 

[Rojin]

Mine has always slowed down after a few days, light use only.ets see how 5.1.1 goes...

Is it worth upgrading from the Nexus 4? There are no new phones want, they're getting too big, but I do fancy a new phone and the 4 has been an excellent phone.

 

[a03dugga]

The nexus 5 over the 4 is a nice upgrade, even now. I would say wait BUT that could be a an easy way to wait a long time. I do miss the nexus 4, but if I were to be honest, I am personally getting sick of the nexus 5. That's just me, but meh.

Something I've noticed in the emails on data network is when you delete them they keep coming back in but as read. Does my head in!!!
