I'm actually switching over to ATT in the course of the next month. Honestly though, its not the carrier. The phone's behavior got significantly worse on 5.1.1 in this regard. My phone sits in the same spot, on the same mousepad at the same desk every day. For a few months (since the...

Wyteryno, Unfortunately I can't help, but I will second all of the issues you are having. I'm on Sprint and I can't hold LTE through the day at my desk. In the past, I've maintained that signal all day. Sometimes it'll get stuck on 3G, sometimes with an ! next to the signal. A cycle on/off...

Re: Nexus 5 is overheating/rebooting sporadically/no service Jumperjatt, sorry to hear about the issues. I've experienced the "lite" version of these. Not quite as hot, not quite as rebooty, my bad service is more anything switching between LTE/3G (where it used to be just fine). Anywho, as...

I've actually seen my phone take a disappointing step back with the update to 5.1.1. I've had it around a week and battery drain has crept up again, Textra is running into all sorts of issues (for an app that never so much as stuttered before, it has nearly become unusable at times). Just this...

Since I'm not exactly the patient type I went ahead and side-loaded the 5.1 OTA last night. It's a really easy process and there's tons of info out there to walk you through it (I had done the same with 5.0 so I was familiar with some of the tools and such). Initial impressions are fairly...

I've seen a lot of inconsistencies in battery life since the update to Lollipop. I was one of the early adopters who side loaded the OTA, then did a fresh install after I ran into some other issues. My usage pattern during the week barely changes but my results vary significantly. One day I'll...

I'm assuming you are looking for something like this: http://www.amazon.com/INSTEN-Universal-Cassette-Adapter-Smartphones/dp/B00CRBA9D8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422382218&sr=8-1&keywords=stereo+to+cassette+adapter&pebp=1422382227581&peasin=B00CRBA9D8 I remember those from years ago when CD...

The only one I've seen is Jackpot Party Casino. As soon as I launch it, I get "Unfortunately, Jackpot Party has stopped." Seems to be 5.0 related as several reviews indicate the issue has only popped up after Lollipop. Overall I've been happy to see how few things have broken with the update.

After flashing the factory image last night, I've been pretty happy. I've felt like the standby battery life has improved and possibly to a significant extent (sorry it's not going to magically make the screen display utilize less battery power while it's on). The backup feature is 100 times...

To offer my two cents as someone who flashed the OTA then decided to flash the entire factory image for 5.0. Yes, I would factory reset after the update (keyword being after). Once you have Lollipop on your phone, that's your OS, you won't go back to KitKat. When you update, let the phone...

When I had originally sideloaded the update through ADB, I felt like battery life was slightly down from my expectations. For an hour or two it would barely suck up any battery then for 45 minutes it's like the gates opened up and my phone would lose a lot then it would slow down for a bit. As...

Re: Nexus 5 Lollipop Root/Unroot Thanks, I decided to go ahead and flash the factory image. Surprisingly easy with all the tutorials out there, honestly the biggest issue I ran into was just unzipping the tgz file the right way. For what it's worth, a couple of things to share. Lollipop...

Nexus 5 Lollipop Root/Unroot I've got an odd issue with Nexus 5. I had previously rooted under KitKat, and then decided to update to Lollipop. I used the adb sideload to push the OTA update onto the phone. It appears that in the update I lost my root (not the real issue) and everything with...

Thank you. You made this process quite easy to follow and execute. Don't think it would be this easy. Quick root with towel root and a quick ADB sideload, it's been a good day.

I'll offer another nod to Helium (Carbon) as I've used that in the past for saving app data without having to root. One thing I will note is that backing up texts including SMS and MMS is AWFUL in Android. I tried several different apps to back everything up and restore it and was left with...
