Problems with Nexus 6

I've had my Nexus 6 for 3+ months and have had no problems until today when my phone would randomly reboot. Sometime it would come back on quickly and other times it would go through the long process of optimizing apps. The phone has had 2 OTA software updates since I purchased it so I decided to do a factory data reset.

I have not experienced any random reboots since the factory data reset but now I am unable to connect to WiFi. When I click on the WiFi in the quick setting menu, the phone is unable to identify any available networks. When I click on More Settings, the screen says Turning WiFi on but nothing ever happens.

I'm also noticing a significant difference in screen brightness since the FDR. In order to get the same level of brightness that I used to get with the slider at about 40-50%, I now have to move it to about 80%. Obviously less critical (unless it messes with battery life) but still somewhat annoying.

Any suggestions?
 
I can't help you with the WiFi issue but I got rid of the Google news and weather widget, reinstalled tetra and uninstalled quickpic, turned off ambient display and my phone stopped rebooting

Have you tried booting in safe mode and seeing if any of your issues are fixed?
