Do you have the Tasker app? Looks like it's just telling you what network you're connected to

Are you referring to the X's?

Yes it was showing my home network ssid and yes I'm referring to the x's

That should be the Google music player control

The controls are there--I can actually see them. It just looks like the background got corrupted. I've seen a similar things happen once or twice, can't remember if it was my N5 or N7. It resolved on its own.

Maybe clear the cache for Google Music. Or try and uninstall any updates if it allows it and reinstall. That may help quickly solve the issue.

Try a cache partition wipe.

already tried a cache wipe, with no luck as well as a full factory wipe and restore. i think i am just going to do a full wipe and install a custom ROM like purity to see what happens then

So you did a full factory reset, but then restored all of your apps? It would have been good to see if that corruption was still there before reinstalling your apps, because my suspicion is that it's a 3rd party app that is causing the glitch. You could boot in to Safe Mode to confirm that: Reset: Google Nexus 5 | T-Mobile Support

OK so last night I was able to finally flash a custom ROM to see if it was an issue with the stock ROM being corrupted, but unfortunately that went sideways when I was unable to flash google apps properly. So it was back to square one, and I had to end up doing a full restore to stock image using adb tools. I had few minor hiccups with getting the tar file from google extracted properly on my windows 8 machine, so i ended up using my mac instead. was able to flash the stock image, while retaining the unlocked bootloader. once the stock image was flashed i confirmed the bug no longer existed, then proceeded to regain root successfully. verified once again that root had no impact on the player, then flashed a volume speaker mod and once again no issues. so i am back to where i was before all this mess began. valuable lessons learned, and i am keeping my mods to a minimum going forward

I bet something went wrong with the factory version of the Google Play Music app. An uninstall via Titanium backup and install via the Play Store might have fixed it. I did that to my N5 even though it was fine because it drives me crazy when apps are system apps and I can't download updates before it's rolled out to me.

I always like to keep mods down as bare minimum as I can. It's never a good idea to overwhelm the original OS. The only major change I made was Franco's kernel and a minor undervolt with a bigger underclock (1GHz for CPU and 100MHz for GPU). Glad you got things figured out.
