    Lock screen won't respond

    I was also getting all kinds of glitches lately but after cleaning the long ribbon connector inside on both ends, everything is like new again!

    Recent WiFi issues

    Well sure and always good to clear the system cache after a major upgrade to the Os. But if it was relevant to this issue, I'm pretty sure there'd be a hell of a lot more people complaining

    Recent WiFi issues

    There are a few counts of the plugs coming loose in their seating which lead to various sensors performing erratically. There are plenty of YouTube showing how to fix and the process is actually quite simple. Most often an extra a bit of tape on the inside of the back cover in a few locations is...

    Where has my storage gone?!?

    Do all usage apps say the same? Just trying to think along... Sounds more like an issue with your OS though, not so much the Nexus

    Strange alert w/Japanese characters and ms/number

    Never saw the issue in any of my 10droids and I use both the free and pro versions of es file explorer. Also never saw answer about how people updated it: only via the play store(like myself) or by way of the app itself?

    Strange alert w/Japanese characters and ms/number

    I use es file explorer on both my nexus's and my 4 mxiii-g media boxes and have not got this problem. I also always only update via Google playstore regardless if the app asks to update itself, perhaps their servers were hacked?

    Strange alert w/Japanese characters and ms/number

    My girlfriend got this a few days ago as well without having installed anything out of the ordinary. Clicking on them brought up advertising messages. So we suspected some sort of malware. She did a factory reset and all's well now. Still don't know what it was our why it suddenly came up... She...

    How can I clean the bottom grille?

    Uhm, aren't you worried about the force of compressed air breaking the sensitive components of speaker and microphone? Those are just flimsy membranes aren't they?

    nexus 7 unable to rotate if device is warm / overheat

    There have been reports that the ribbing contacts become loosened over time. There are YouTube's showing how to put some insulation tape inside which most certainly does improve things. I still get it sometimes but a lot less than I used to.

    feb security update won't install

    What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (when it doesn't cripple you that is [emoji57]) What I normally use is wugfresh, check here http://www.wugfresh.com/forums/sub/nrt/flash-stock/

    feb security update won't install

    Who's to say it carried a factory image and not some adapted image.....

    feb security update won't install

    First thing I'd do with a second hand is flash the factory image and make sure there's no software in the device which could cause any kind of problem..

    Is Nexus 5 still a good buy and will it receive N?

    Don't like phablet form factor myself either, too clumsy as a phone and too small for a tablet. If the 5x didn't have the micro c USB port I'd probably go for it but at moment it's too big a jump with all the cables and chargers and accessories (such as a microSd adapter) I already have... Love...

    Is Nexus 5 still a good buy and will it receive N?

    Cyanogen will also most likely have something developed for Android N. I definitely would get a second hand 5 it I could trust the battery wasn't about to die..

    I think its time to replace it....

    Hopefully a 7, 8 would ruin the perfect fit in my jacket and Jean pockets!
