Registered my 5X for Beta and updated to N. Great so far. Anyone else?

Re: Beta registration

Yeah, very smooth and it seems a bit faster. Only issue so far is HBO Go crashes.
 
Re: Beta registration

Yes I updated as soon as I got home from work yesterday. I've had no issues so far and my phone feels way faster. I love it!
 
Re: Beta registration

I just installed N on my 5X today. So far so good other than the occasional app crash.

And this weird issue with the status bar icons doubling up. A reboot fixes it.

Re: Beta registration

N is running smoothly on my 5x, only 2 apps giving me any issues are Lookout and Marvel Future Fight.

My Google Calendar is late on appointment notifications.
 
Re: Beta registration

I like the options to change screen or icon size and to change font size. Now my default Google now launcher have smaller icons.

Re: Beta registration

I had that happen. If you reboot it sorts the issue. Did for me anyway 🤞

Nexus 5X is the business!
 
Loving it! Love the notification grouping in the status bar. Love the split screen. The night mode option is another great addition too.

Have only had issues with the BBC Sports, Halifax Mobile Banking and weirdly Gmail apps.

Edit: After a recent update BBC Sport working well now.

Nexus 5X is the business!

Re: Beta registration

Holy cow I have had my 5x for almost a month now and finally opted in to the beta and have to say Android N is running like a dream on this thing. I can't believe how snappy it is, especially all the tweaks to the recents key. Really digging the reply in the notification shade for messaging as well. Very pleased here, so happy I have a Nexus to experience stuff like this😁

Edit: OK getting a bit of lag after taxing things a bit more (music over Bluetooth while charging and browsing with screen brightness up) and the phone heated the **** up when I received a call in said situation (hot phone to the face!) but as far as beta software goes I'm still impressed/giddy

Re: Beta registration

My Nexus 5x last at least two days. I charge it every night and I'm usually charging from 75% or higher. I don't surf the net on my Nexus 5x, I don't play games on my Nexus 5x. I mostly use the calendar to keep my appointments, Messenger to text, and send and receive emails when I have WiFi access.

I'm running the Android N beta, too, and like it a lot. A few bugs, none serious for me, but it's a beta.

Could you post a screen shot of the battery stats after a full charge to when it gets about 10%? It could be an app or service running in the background preventing the phone from going into sleep. However, it could also depend on how you use the device (i.e. web surfing majority of the time).
 
Does anyone know if the NatWest app in the UK works properly on the latest beta? Didn't last time I checked
