    Microphone issues after Lollipop OTA

    Got my (second) replacement N5. KitKat pre-installed, works fine. It automatically downloaded the 5.01 update, ha! I won't be installing that. I find myself wondering if my mic issue for outbound calls might be caused by some glitch related to a setting of mine, or an app I use. Who knows? I...

    Microphone issues after Lollipop OTA

    Sent for yet another N5 from Google. Sigh. I suppose it might be some specific setting or app of mine that has caused this problem on two devices after upgrading. Google can't help me though, so they are just sending me another phone. Grateful they are so good about warrenty, but bugs like this...

    Microphone issues after Lollipop OTA

    I had my N5 replaced by Google, the refurb they sent had 4.4. I upgraded to 5.01 recently and now I have the same problem again! Intermittently, people can't hear me over the mic. (Speakerphone yes) Crap! A reboot fixes it temporarily. Google says they'll send me another. Frig. I have to...

    OK now this is getting ridiculous!

    I got the update OTA in November, it pooched my phone, I had problems galore. Fortunately Google replaced it. Pain in the ****. Apart from that, Lollipop was great, I liked it, but now frankly, I just want my phone to work. It does. Apps are where it's at. Get a new one if you need something new.

    STILL no Lollipop update as of 12/24

    I received Lollipop as an OTA update on my Nexus 5 (I've had it for a year) and I liked it a lot. But I also got the issue whereby my voice was distorting and barely audible to the other party on calls. Repeated resets and calls to Google led to a warrenty replacement, and now I'm back to a...

    What is a good LF Proper Wallet replacement case (with room for at least 6-7 cards plus cash etc.)?

    Re: LF Proper Wallet replacement case (with room for at least 6-7 cards plus cash etc.) Thanks, Bagums... do you actually use this as your primary wallet? With the cards just in the open like that? Don't they fall out sometimes? I'm looking for a roomy wallet replacement that can hold the...

    What is a good LF Proper Wallet replacement case (with room for at least 6-7 cards plus cash etc.)?

    LF Proper Wallet replacement case (with room for at least 6-7 cards plus cash etc.) I have yet to find a decent wallet replacement case for the Nexus 5. They all seem to max out at maybe 3-4 cards before they choke. So for me, that's not a wallet replacement at all. I've taken a small $5...

    Microphone issues after Lollipop OTA

    Okay, after doing factory reset, I thought it was fixed but no, I still have this problem, but now it's intermittent. I called Google, and they issued an RMA. They'll send the same phone, but a refurb. They had me read the EMIA number back to them: I guess since I bought the phone less than a...

    New Google Maps voice for navigation is awful

    So Lollipop is here, and my high quality voice file dissapeared when I did a factory reset... and now I don't even see the option to download it. Oh well. I think I'll probably be using 'Nokia Here Maps' as my GPS more anyway, since it works off-line, it won't burn through my battery and my data...

    I Shattered My Nexus 5 Screen - Any Personal Experiences Replacing one?

    I damaged mine by getting some rain in it, and a local Toronto dealer put a new one on for $170. Now I've cracked it again (using the darn case from now on!) and I think I might try getting one off Ebay- I see $86 delivered with digitizer... and install it myself. I was able to get the battery...

    Microphone issues after Lollipop OTA

    I had this issue and just solved it with a complete wipe/factory reset. It's working fine now. The mic was working fine in video and other recordings, I tested it. It was only outbound calls that were a problem, I could hear the other party fine but my voice was faint and garbled to them. Going...

    White splotch on screen

    When my phone got wet, just from some rain, it was the screen that got damaged, and lighter spots showed up under the glass.

    New Google Maps voice for navigation is awful

    I heard the high quality American female voice on a friends phone and it is awesome, WAY better than the default American female, clear crisp and sexy even! But I've downloaded it twice on my Nexus 5, it's checked to enable, but it doesn't change from the old one. I can make the British male...

    What was your previous phone? Do you like the Nexus 5 more or less? Why?

    Re: What was your previous phone? Do you like the N5 more or less? Why? Agreed, they may have thought they were forcing me to stay windows, they ended up forcing me to leave entirely. Bah-Bye! And it's too bad, cuz Windows phone rocks, IMO.

    What was your previous phone? Do you like the Nexus 5 more or less? Why?

    Re: What was your previous phone? Do you like the N5 more or less? Why? That's funny, I also came from a Nokia Lumia (a 710) and I miss it like crazy. It just worked. Windows phone 7, solid device, paid $150 for it brand new from my carrier (Mobilicity) and everything about it was reliable...
