You don't need to unlock the device for sideloding a OTA zip. If your device is over the warranty period then I recommend to unlock the device, back up your data, wipe your device, and do a fresh install from the factory image. :) :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 General] sl4y3r88:
Hey buddy thanks for the reply!! Any specific reason why you recommend a flash from the factory image? I plan to sideload and do a factory reset after that? I'm trying to go the least risk route ?
[Nexus 5 General] vishnuk15:
Side loading the OTA will keep all the settings as is and may introduce new bugs. I've seen few posts in this same thread and stack overflow having issues after OTA sideload. Least risk? Unlocking will allow you to install a custom recover where you can back up and restore the is image. Plus a fresh install will give your device a new life. It will be as good as you bought it. :D
[Nexus 5 General] sl4y3r88:
So is sideloading + cache partition wipe + factory reset not 100% same as factory image flash?

Not to be stubborn, the reason i ask is because i have already downloaded the OTA zip.

Thanks again
[Nexus 5 General] :
YES! Better factory reset before sideloading.
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
it does almost same.

if you are F.resting after OTA.zip then i recommend you to do factory reset before applying OTA also.

and reason why every one prefer factory image is there is "rare" some conflict in OTA as OTA doesn't change every thing ...and if you are ready to do F.reset then i also recommend to go for Factory image ;)

don't forget to factory reset even after factory image !
[Nexus 5 General] rohit25:
How is android 5.1 working for ppl who flashed the factory image... Must say am at 42hrs now and no issues seen....
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
yes.. running in as soon as factory images were out.. no issues at all .. much more fluidity ..specially while multitasking .. memory management has been improved, lot more apps stays in memory now. and i havent noticed any memory leak issues , uptime is more than 100 hours .
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Same here. My N5's battery life was pathetic in 5.0.1, but after moving to 5.1 again I'm getting better battery life. As of now I have sideloaded the OTA. If I face any issues later on, probably I'll do a clean install.

Friends.. Today I noticed a hairline crack on my Black N5 near Sim tray. Bought it on Nov 2013 and using with Ringke Fusion case since 9 months. Never dropped. Was cleaning some dust with cloth stuck between the phone and back glass cover. Noticed that crack today.

Hi,

Have you guys started getting the OTA update for 5.1..?
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
I've had the same issue in the same way... Ringke fusion stresses the phone... I got my display changed under warranty and that changed the side case also... But now using a bulkier case and I am doubtful if it has already cracked the side case... I can't tell cause I have those stickers covering the sides...

---------- Post added at 04:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

Mine charges within 1.45 hrs on the cable and charger that came with the phone... I've found out that if u connect the charger with lg side up and in a tight socket, the phone charges within 1.45-2hrs...

Guys I'm having issues on 5.1 while changing kernels...

I tried ElementalX, Franco & Uber... I didn't use Uber that much since it was released for 5.0.x... But tried both Franco and ElementalX for days... I've noticed that when I undervolt to say 700mv the only change occurs to 300MHz... But... When I try changing each volt manually I can set it and run for some time... But then later it just reboots... After rebooting all the voltage is changed and especially 19XXMHz has 1020mv and 2226 has 975mv... So I tried Franco... And that actually does change the whole voltage table according to the offset...

I like Franco but it does not give KCAL support or swipe to sleep... Any ideas? I'm using kernel adiutor...

I have a question to you all,

If you compare h/w & s/w features of all latest smartphones, you will find s4 , g2 , N5, Htc One, Note 3 etc in top

( considering Android only)

I am using s4 i9500 and I think it has many of the good features in it.

In comparison with N5, only processor of s4 i9500 octa is not that good.

Now s4 i9506 has everything you need. don't you guys think this is best so far?

changing radio version only help LTE connectivity or some carrier specific freq reception outside india, we only had one specific update where the update in radio helped in reception and that was back in 4.4.4, the ktq update since then our phones support all the avaliable freq of the indian providers.

Out of warranty nexus 5!

Guys, I yesterday dropped my Nexus 5 & came around a strange display problem, the touch is all messed up! Display is acting up on its own, opening/closing apps by itself. I'm not able to do anything so I've shut it off.

I'm on stock lollipop [Unrooted+Relocked] The device is scratchless, No damage from the impact! What should I do? What is Google Play's policy for nexus 5 after warranty?[I bought on release date]

Since there is no damage, can i still be eligible for a RMA? or thats out of question?

Help is appreciated! TIA!
[Nexus 5 General] Mr hOaX:
I don't feel that you are eligible for RMA any more.(No company provides it AFAIK)

If you happen to visit any authorised LG service centre for replacing the display and touch issue (digitizer), they'll charge you 7k+

I recommend you to visit the LG service centre and replace with genuine parts.

Nexus 5 reboots at Google Logo

Hey everyone!

So I have this very unusual problem on my nexus 5. First of all the device turned off on its own, battery at that time was about 14% and battery saver mode was on. After trying infinite number of times to turn on the phone, it just didn't turn on. After connecting the nexus 5 to wall charger, phone automatically boots up goes to the point where google logo shows up and then it reboots again. It's a continuous rebooting process every time reaching at google logo and rebooting. Nexus 5 running Lollipop 5.1.

HELP ME OUT!!!!

If you have then try to backup your data using the recovery. After that do the regular wipe cache, data to do a factory reset. Most of the cases these steps should do the trick. :)

[Nexus 5 General] :
Memory bug still persists.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
That is because of the memory leak issue, which is acknowledged by Google as well. Probably a fix will be coming soon. As of now you need to restart the device if the free ram becomes too less.

Has anyone got the LMY47I update in India?

I think Google took a bit of time to acknowledge the issue. But the issue was more persistent in 5.0. Earlier my used to lag and the apps used to crash if I haven't restarted the phone for 5-6 days.

P.S. the memory bug that you all are mentioning please read it was related to a badly prgrammed game... opening that game caused issue... personally i have a uptime of 895hrs now and no issues.. though have limited apps and cataclysm rom in use.. :p
