[Nexus 5 Android Development] fireproofrev:
with V1.1 I have the problem that when I record a video (Back camera) the sound-record stops completely when it is very silent. So the video will have no sound at all in the when there are only silent noises you just can hear louder sounds (they start and stop suddenly). (This sounds like an digital phonecall without "confort noise", if you know what I mean)

I also can upload the video to youtube.

Has anybody else this behavior?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jishnu Sur™:
Yes thats the Noise cancellation Microphone in effect! :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rockafellor:
any way to have an option to activate/deactivate it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fireproofrev:
Thank you for the explenation. Yes, this is exactly like it sounds, a noise cancellation.

In my option this is not good when taking a video, it makes it terrible to look a video and the sound stars and stops suddenly all the time. Also you can not hear silent details. Is it possible to deactivate it? With Stock there is no noise cancellation.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jishnu Sur™:
Yes Certainly.. I will Upload and Update OP! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobg:
Just received my Nexus 5 today and I'm noticing some strange connectivity issues while on WiFi. Some apps would complain network is unavailable, Facebook would load with no pictures, etc. This happens randomly, sometimes after few minutes others - an hour(s). Rebooting the phone or even cycling WiFi off/on usually recovers it, until it happens again. Cellular data works fine all the time. It can't be the WiFi network I'm connecting to as I have a myriad of devices that have worked and continue working without any problems.

I tried 3 other WiFi networks (different routers) with different configurations of encryption as well no encryption, switching between 5GHz, 2.4GHz, no matter what, problem occurs sooner or later.

Noticed on Google support forums few users describing exactly the same issue, surprised I didn't find reports here on XDA. Maybe not many people got their phones yet.

Anyone else getting the same "treatment" from their new Nexus 5?

I am seeing exactly the same thing. Wifi will work great, then all of a sudden, nothing. Stays that way for a couple of minutes, then all of a sudden it works again.

How many bars does the sifi icon show ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobg:
Number of bars doesn't matter. I can have full bars sitting a meter from the router and issue would happen anyways.

I tried playing with WiFi optimizations in advanced settings to no avail unfortunately. Hopefully this is a bug that Google can quickly fix with a software update
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdyim:
Same here. Got my N5 yesterday and experienced the same at home. Same for my brother.

Hope that gets clarified soon. Not the nicest feeling having a new phone with that (or any) kind of issue...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrawer:
Yes, my N5 started doing the same on my home wifi connections (using Apple's Airport Extreme 2.4/5GHz router).

The Playstore or Youtube apps would not display images or take forever. When I switched wifi off those apps worked fine.

I got it working again when I "forgot" my wifi setting for the 2.4 and 5Ghz channels then reconnected to the 2.4. I'll let that run for a day or so then try activating the 5Ghz.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WORPspeed:
(Didn't know if I should create a new thread for this as it is a wifi issue but seems to be soemthing different than what the OP decribed, my issues are related only to playstore app downloading)

I too am having terrible wifi issues on my new Nexus 5. But mine are different from those described here I think. Whenever I cycle through the wifi, turn it off and on again it doesn't fix the problem (not temporarily and ofc not permanently)

When browsing the web, the play store and mostly everything it works great and is very fast, BUT when downloading or updating an app the wifi speed is practically non-existant.

Sometimes showing that it will take 25 hours to download a 25mb app :S

This while my Galaxy Nexus on the same wifi network is as speedy as ever.

I have tried factory resetting my Nexus 5, I have cleared the cache and data of the play services app and of the play store app, I have tried changing the wifi bands (from auto, to 5 to 2.4 and back to auto), I have turned off the wifi optimization, but none of those things helped. I even tried some DNS HSPC wifi settings thingy I read here

That didn;t help either.

I have unplugged my router and replugged it in but that didn't help either.

I literally had to leave my brand new Nexus 5 downloading all night just so that it could install the apps I wanted on it. So far for playing around with the phone on day 1 :(

What makes it even weirder is that occasionaly the wifi issues resolve itself and I can get good download speeds for several seconds or sometimes up to a few minutes, but then right after it is straight back to crap speeds. Some other reported that only while making a portion of the map available offline in Google Maps their app download speeds were great, but that didn't work for me either.

I don't know what to do and if it is a hardware issue or a software issue. Please help me.

Below some info that might be useful to helping me solve this.

White Nexus 5 32GB

Bought from US play store

Shipped to and using it in the Netherlands

Currently does not have a SIM card inside (that is still in my Galaxy Nexus till the wifi issues are resolved)

Unrooted, only installed the mandatory update during the setup

All apps downloaded are apps that are also on my Galaxy Nexus which works without a hitch

:(

Any and all suggestions/ideas/help are welcome
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobg:
I think the problem somehow related to DNS. I found that if I configure static IP settings and point DNS to Google's instead router's, things work normally. I reconfigured my router to advertise 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers for the DHCP and now for over 24 hours I haven't experienced the disconnection issue.

If your router cannot be reconfigured, try assigning static IP settings and Google's DNS to see if it helps.

I still believe that's a software bug on the phone, we can't blame a device (the router) that has worked for years and works fine with everything else but the Nexus 5, being at fault.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
I currently can't reconnect to my Wi-Fi at home as it's stuck showing the last scan I did some 40 miles away at a shopping centre earlier today.

Of course none of these networks are now present, yet all mine are shown as not found!

Guessing a reboot will fix it as toggling Wi-Fi didn't. Mobile data is working fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WORPspeed:
Not as tech as I want to be, so could you explain to me what the difference is in setting the DNS to Google's instead of routers? I have no idea what DNS is/does so what happens when you point it soemwhere else?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobg:
DNS stands for Domain Name Service. What it basically does is to translate those easy to remember names such as www.Google.com to the actual numeric address (also called IP address) of the server that serves that site on the Internet. Home routers almost always sport built-in DNS service to speed up name translation requests from internal devices. What I figured is going on on the nexus 5 is it "doesn't seem to like" some DNS servers. Works fine with some, doesn't with others. What happens is at one point, for whatever reason, it stops being able to translate names to addresses and as result "decides" there is no working connection as it fails to connect to the corresponding servers. Google hosts publicly available DNS servers with the easy to remember IP addresses of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 which apparently Nexus 5 doesn't have problem working with. Once it gets "instructed" to use them instead router's, everything works fine.

At least that's what I figured is going on so far.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobg:
BTW, just found one small and very useful app that can display information about WiFi connection as well as DNS servers associated to it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WORPspeed:
Thanks, but that wouldn't fix my issue right, because it doesn't explain why only play store downloads are terribly slow while the rest works fine.

Gave it a shot and at first it seemed to work, but after a short while the problem re-arose :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleuxeon:
DNS has nothing to do with weak or lost WIFI connections...

You can be perfectly connected, at full n speed to a WIFI AP without getting proper acces to Internet : THIS can DNS isue.

But in no way a DNS isue can leads to lost or very weak WIFI signal.

2 solutions are possible with Nexus 5 :

- WIFI module has the same badly coded shape as camera one...

- its hardware related wich, no need to say, could be the worst case...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
I am having the same issue since day one. In fact it just occurred as I was replying to this thread. Mostly occurs when the phone comes out of sleep mode. However it will occur often and at random.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WORPspeed:
Which do you think is more likely in the face of having wifi work excellent for a span of a few tens of seconds before going crap again?

Do you think software or hardware? Should I start considering sending it back to Google?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleuxeon:
For now : definitely not!

As I told in my previous post, there is a good chance for that WIFI and camera driver to be fixed very soon.

For the camera, one of Google's engineer has allready confirmed that all isue with camera are software related and NOT hardware.

The same is very possible for the WIFI driver.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobg:
I am not saying I experience bad WiFi strength or WiFi dropouts. This is completely separate issue. Read OP again. There are other threads talking about the issue you're describing. I am experiencing disconnection from some services, primarily Google related. WiFi connection is solid. While Google now can say no network connection, speed test can blast at 40Mbps at the same time. DNS was the culprit for me, ever since I configured my router to advertise Google DNS instead its own, all has been great.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleuxeon:
Ok, my bad : I have read your first post very quicly and then all other posts, maybe one of them catch my attention and made me misunderstanding your original post.

I've had the same issue with my N5 32GB white. Changing the WiFi channels in my router settings solved the issue. My other devices had no such problem so I guess the wifi module on the N5's has issues on certain channels.

Nexus 5 wifi Issue

Ok I just discovered something weird. I can connect to craigslist.com and tmonews.com but I cannot connect to the play store, engadget.com, google.com, yahoo.com and others. So the issue seems to be url related. Can anyone tech smart explain this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobg:
That's exactly the problem I was describing. After a lot of experimenting what worked for me was to set my router to assign Google's DNS servers via DHCP to connecting devices instead its own. Ever since I did that, I'm yet to experience this problem again. The bad thing is I'm still experiencing the issue when connecting to other networks (than mine). For some work, for others issue shows up right away.

I tried an early version of Cyanogen 11 ROM and it did not experience the WiFi issue, at least for the time I had it installed (had to back out due to broken GPS and camera in that early build). So I'm hopeful this is something Google will address in future update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Which most likely means those lazy numbnuts at Google did what everyone feared - they used the same (or most of) WiFi driver that caused so many of the same issues on 4.3 on the N4.

I have to admit it's better, but I'm still seeing my phone switch from my 5ghz band to my 2.4ghz band for no good reason - I have full bars for Wi-Fi on both bands on my new Netgear Nighthawk R7000 - this router is a monster, I can get strong connection on my notebook at a friend's house 2 blocks away, yet my N5 is dropping a solid 5ghz connection when it's only 6ft away?

It has to be the Wi-Fi drivers.... Just can't believe that they would not fix this issue which royally p!seed off thousands of N4 users and probably lost them forever to other devices. Not cool Google.... and they never did a thing about this problem on 4.3 and left everyone out to dry. Fool me over, shame in me biatches!!

I want to love this phone, but I won't go through the same problems that plagued my N4 for almost a year - I think Google has a 15 day full refund period, and there's a few other phones out there that I'm thinking might be a better bet.

So I had to register just to update you guys. My wife's Nexus 4 was doing exactly what you were describing! Right down to the being able to navigate to craigslist.

[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
CarbonROM, LiquidSmooth, and Tachyon are some great ROM choices, although for GSM service a sense based ROM may be the best bet.

Amon Ra is no longer the recommended recovery for any ICS/JB based ROM, you should use TWRP or CWM Recovery.

It's definitely possible, or so I've heard, because the Snapdragon has a low power, always on core, that can perform that function. So in terms of hardware, it's available.

As long as you're not hoping for Active Display, I think this is possible.

It's going to take some time due to the fact that it's buried deep in MSM8974 and some dev has to go ahead to enable it.

Not only that, but right now our pseudo-Touchless Control is managed by Google Now and I don't believe that it's that way on the Moto X (it's simply a Moto feature I think).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anarchy1984:
I'd pay $10

This is my one and only disappointment when it comes to the Nexus 5. "Touchless Controls" does me no good if I have to turn on / unlock my phone to take advantage of it. If you've already turned your phone on and swiped to unlock it, why not just press the microphone button at the top of every home page and start talking instead of saying Ok Google first? Makes no sense.

Hopefully there's a dev out there working on this mod. I'd happily donate to the cause.

Most likely. Looks like Moto's really got a few tricks up its sleeve. I don't think that if you moved the Now apk from Moto X to N5 it would work, because I think it's independent of Velvet.apk...because if it wasn't, every time you updated Google Search, you would only get the features of every other device that's compatible with Google Now.
