Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.

Isn't that a sprint issue?

Posted via Nexus 5 Android Central App
I have the sprint n5 and g2, had the note 3. Problem I am having is static, pops, squeals, during calls on both. I returned g2, have same issue, had same problem with note 3 , update fixed. I believe they all have same processor, wondering if fix is on the way?

New issue. Google search bar and OK Google stop working for unknown reason. A quick reboot fixes it, but still annoying.

There's a Google Search update which may fix that.

That sounds like a Sprint issue unrelated to phone hardware.

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.

Anyone having problems with setting default apps?

I was clicking phone numbers from my email. I have skype and the stock phone app. It won't accept the phone app as default and asks me every time. I've said phone>always at least 20 times now. People at work are saying this is probably a skype problem?

Absolutely no keyboard out of the box (just voice commands). Can't access Settings either ("Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"). Have factory reset 10 times; still nothing. This piece of garbage is about to be returned.

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.

So, noticed a huge battery drain on my N5 today and it seems to be due to Exchange Services. I dropped 40% in 3 hours and I wasn't even using the devices. There is a thread about it on XDA and it seems on Google Support forums as well. May be similar to people having issues with Exchange Services. Admittedly, my email has also been coming in really late. Sometimes as much as 30 minutes after my desktop gets it.

Hope it gets fixed soon.

Bluetooth BT not connecting to my car stereo/Alpine BT133. Connects great to my GNex, Nex7 v1, Nex7 v2 but does not pair with new Nex5.

I'm having Exchange account issues as well. I put meetings on my work calendar but they won't show up in the Calendar app unless I remove the Exchange account and re-add it. Then the work meeting displays. Unacceptable.

No native WiFi tether on T-Mobile. Foxfi doesn't work either. Unacceptable.

Although since these items work on my Nexus 4 on 4.3 Jelly Bean, I'm thinking it's more KitKat related than with the Nexus 5.

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.

i posted this issue in the camera/video section already but nobody cared. But for me it is a big issue.
So far every single video i recorded stuttered a lot no matter what setting i used.
I just need to know if that is a common problem many people have (so it might get fixed by software update) or is it just me,
so i need to get the phone replaced

I just recorded a 30 second video and it stuttered once. Sounds like a software issue to which there are many that could be made to the camera... My Z10 used to do the same when it was new and through updated that camera became stellar.. Google better do the same or i'll be back to using my Z10

Yeah, definitely think it is a KitKat thing as I never noticed this much battery drain on my Nexus 4 for Exchange Services.

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.

I still can't get an avatar to appear for myself in SMS (on the outgoing messages line).

I'm using SMS via Hangouts.
I am signed out of the Hangouts portion (and just use SMS half).
I have a profile photo in Google+.
That photo appears in email and if I send a txt to myself.

Re: Nexus 5 Problems & Issues

Anyone getting a Sim has been inserted, the phone must restart message? Incredibly painful and happening about every 3-4 hours.

Well things have changed a good bit. You used to do it in People. Now it seems you need to do it in Hangouts.

In Hangouts, tap the Menu icon (upper right corner).
Settings
Tap youraccount@gmail.com
Tap Profile photo

I got the same problem here. Reboot only fixes it temporarily. After using for a while, it came back.
There is an update for search app yesterday. But nothing was solved.

Really disappointed.

Re: Nexus 5 Problems & Issues

Just a heads up, when I access my profile/account via the android central app and attempt to change my "primary phone" as soon as I press to choose the app force closes.

Have you removed the plastic from the top and bottom sides, and a case if you have one on it? :)

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.

1 more problem that I have (beside the crashed search app) is that the play store never notify any application updates.
I checked the setting and of course the notification was on. I guess I'm gonna set auto update for a while.
Anybody here know where to send feedback about the play store to google? I tried to find in the app but still haven't found it yet

Re: Nexus 5 Problems and Issues list.

The two major things I have noticed on my N5 is the poor cell reception compared to my S3 (at&t) and the most irritating thing of all is the microphone on incoming calls. I have to wait 5-6 seconds into the call for anyone to hear me. The problem doesn't exist on speakerphone or bluetooth so it must be something with the microphone itself?
