    Mediaserver battery drain

    Thank You! Removing the SDcard was NOT the fix. Neither was deleting the thumbnails. Disabling Media Server has given the tablet new life!

    The Nexus 5 Android 5.1 Lollipop Thread

    Installed V471. Smooth install, about 20 minutes for 175 apps. I did not wipe cache. So far - a much better experience! 1. Swiping is much faster & smoother. 2. Recent card browsing is very fast. 3. Batt life much better. Lost 4% overnight (Airplane mode ON, WiFi ON) 4. Apps start faster. 5...

    Why aren't my Nexus 5.1 widgets updating?

    Re: Nexus 5.1 Widgets Not Updating A shot in the dark: I have seen a report that 5.1 max's out your RAM. You might check that. Perhaps not enough resources to drive the widgets?

    Why isn't my LG Nexus 5 connecting to wifi?
