Wow, that's a bit of a letdown if these are all common issues on any single device. The possible fixes are rather poor on some of these - Of the ten issues, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are all scenarios where the real solution is - return the device.

Unfortunately, for many these are real issues. I'm sending mine back and rolling wit the A9 until the next Nexus devices

Well no wonder. I thought it was just me having the heavy battery drainage. After 7 hours of only about and hour of use. I was down from 100% to 30%. Hopefully this gets fixed

The wifi fix is to go into Settings->Wifi->3-dot menu, choose wifi-direct->3-dot menu again, rename. Rename the device to whatever. Mine is htc10. I've been getting 5+ hours SOT no problems.

What does changing this do? I am not sure how this fixes the on/off issue?

What I'd like to know is how prevalent are these problems really? Looks like this sort of top 10 problems article is common with other phones too, for example the S7:

Same response regardless of what phone it is. If you have these issues, and simple basic troubleshooting doesn't correct it, return the device, get a refund and buy a better device or get a replacement that's not defective.

I have had mine for about three weeks, and of those 10 issues, I currently have zero! I did have a battery drain, but that was a rogue app doing something it wasn't supposed to do. Easy fix: delete it. I wouldn't call these "common" problems, as that would imply a majority of users are experiencing them. Maybe I got lucky with a good device?

It's a generic article. News/tech sites make things like this for the clicks(ad revenue). You could cut/paste almost any phone in the title and re-publish the article with minimal editing, which is something poor quality news sources love to do rather than pay real columnists.

It renames the device for using it with wifi-direct.. If you don't use wifi-direct for anything(most people) then it does nothing. Why that spontaneously improves wifi performance.. I do not know. Basically, if you're connected. But you just get horrible speeds, and sometimes it cuts out for no apparent reason. This should improve that issue. I had this problem after the 1.53 update, was fine before that.

I can only attest to my experience after a couple of weeks: of the problems quoted, I've not experienced any of them to-date (I don't have polarized sunglasses, so no personal experience there). Battery life was rough for the first few days but has settled down to good.
