Android 5.1 has really huge changelog and the main focus was on features instead of bug fixes.But I believe that Google is working on Android 5.2 because don;t forget when it was spotted running Android 5.2 (of course it could been a photoshop) and as some users reported Android 5.1 to be running better than earlier Lollipop version with less memory leaks so who knows,maybe next Android update will completely fix it...
[Nexus 5 General] Danny 0311:
Got it done. Now, inside the tools folder there is other stuff. A lot of other exe's and other folders. Should i put all the other stuff into a separate folder?:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Good! We're making progress. :)

No need to put the other stuff in a separate folder. It's fine as is.

Now, let's do one more thing before you flash to lessen the chance of an error: in the image-hammerhead-lmy47d.zip file, there are a bunch of other images. Extract the system.img, boot.img and recovery.img files.

Now you should have the following files in your folder:

adb
boot.img
bootloader-xxxxxx.img
fastboot
flash-all.bat
flash-all.sh
image-hammerhead-lmy47d.zip
radio-xxxxxxx.img
recovery.img
system.img

Once those are there, then reboot your phone into the bootloader and execute the following commands one at a time:

./fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-xxxxxx.img
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
./fastboot flash radio radio-xxxxxx.img
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
./fastboot flash system system.img
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
./fastboot format cache
./fastboot format userdata (only do this if you want to start fresh, i.e., erase all your personal data from your phone. Otherwise skip this line.)
./fastboot reboot

Wait a good 10-15 mins and you should be all set.

EDIT: I've edited the bootloader and radio names (as I had mistakenly given you the shamu names, not the hammerhead names).
[Nexus 5 General] californicated:
The ones of you, who experience the memory leak: do you swipe recent apps away?
[Nexus 5 General] Danny 0311:
OK. Now before i start, what about the other files? flash-base.sh, cache.img, android-info.txt, and userdata.img(which i already know about)?:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
All of those files are not needed.

ART wasn't new to 5.0, it was in Kit Kat too and I used it without any memory problems.
[Nexus 5 General] MoodZy:
I'm using a Belgian provider (Proximus). But I sincerely don't think this has anything to do with the provider. The problem appeared right after the "Upgrade" to Lollipop (the first time I used my GPS for driving after the update).

Most people experiencing this problem say it disappears after going back to KitKat. (cfr. http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help/gps-dropping-signal-ota-lollipop-update-t2951515 ) Sadly I do think it has something to do with either the RAM problem (I do have the redraws etc.) and/or how the GPS is managed (going to sleeping mode or economy mode).

[Nexus 5 General] pharpe:
GPS has nothing to do with provider. I think people are confusing the phone fixing their location and GPS lock. Android uses various types of services to identify location. Most phones will lock in on a coarse-grained location provider, like the network location provider, very quickly. This is an accuracy of of about 100 – 500 m and is network dependent. GPS lock takes longer. You car picking up signals directly from the Global Positioning satellites so it depends on if you are indoors, in a car, weather conditions, etc. GPS has an accuracy of less than 100 m.

If you really want to check you GPS lock time put your phone in airplane mode so you are not connected to any network. Turn on only location services and go to google maps. See how long it takes to fix your position.

There isn't a problem with RAM management, the problem is that there is a memory leak that bloats up the system RAM usage
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
Whoever invented the term "daily driver" for a phone needs to go get a memory leak.
[Nexus 5 General] rien-ne-va-plus:
OK guys, the discussion seems to be way off point here.

I think we can all assume that the GPS, Wifi, network, battery drain will be "fixed" with the new release, as it says in almost all previous changelogs.

But we're looking at a major version jump here, so what functionality change can we expect?

Apparently the network handling menu will be changed, let's see how that plays out.

But I'm starting to get afraid that we will in fact NOT see the return of the silent mode. So far I have postponed my switch to Lollipop for the sole reason of the missing silent mode. Does anyone have any news regarding that?

Peace,

rien
[Nexus 5 General] NuclearBastard:
I gotta admit - I've never understood what's all the fuss about "not having" a Silent mode. I'm using Power Toggles since day 1 with Lollipop, and I'm toggling between "Loud" and "Vibrate" pretty... regularly? @_@

I sometimes put it in Silent with no vibration, works fine as well. Seriously, I just skipped the whole messing around with the "Interruptions" mode or whatever its called, and I'm just using it the same way I always did.
[Nexus 5 General] rien-ne-va-plus:
How do you put it in silent mode with no vibration? But with alarm and LED notification on?

Maybe it's a user error then that I didn't get it to work as desired.
[Nexus 5 General] NuclearBastard:
Again, I'm using Power Toggles from day 1, so I'm not sure what are the other possibilities (and/or places you could go wrong in).

Setting > Toggles Settings > Volume Toggles > Enabled Modes > Mute / Vibrate / Ring & Vibrate
[Nexus 5 General] CSX321:
Isn't that Priority notifications only? Alarms are always Priority, and everything else is muted, unless you specifically set an app's notifications to Priority.

[Nexus 5 General] Msan2000:
He's been here way longer than you...
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
A lot of it is true, but I think the 100m part was before I think Clinton unlocked it for commercial use. There are several ways for location to work from my awareness:

1) plain ol GPS like mentioned where your phone literally gets info from space.

2) network triangulation where it either pings towers nearby (even other conpanies towers by just checking roaming signal broadcasts and pinging the tower for more info) and use signal/tower location depending on the carrier.

3) AGPS or assisted GPS, which can triangulate between 1 and 2.

GPS is used to get dead on accuracy and relies on clear sight to stars so you may notice less GPS accuracy when cloudy vs sunny/stars.
[Nexus 5 General] jpalo:
Don't forget GLONASS.

For me that deactivated led notification and my phone kept vibrating fur random stuff
[Nexus 5 General] onesolo:
I beg to disagree with you...

I'm on stock with a custom kernel, blue_code. In standby my battery is awsome!!! I can get to 2% to 3% of drain during the night while I sleep (6 to 8 hours). This is with Wifi, Data, GPS, etc all turn off...

But if I turn my phone on, all hell breaks loose... the drain is very quick... specially if I turn Wifi or 3G on.

Yes, I have a lot of apps, but that still don't explains why the hell in standby don't have any battery drain... If it was because of the apps, I still had battery drain in standby, wouldn't?? And this behaviour is the same on my every past phones... not just with the N5.

They have to fix this!!!

Yes and I know that there are some ppl that can get on one day about 5 or 6 SOT... that puzzles me even more... On 1 day if I get 4 SOT it can be a miracle...

Don't have this problem... When using a GPS app, I can use Google Music app with no problem. No killing for me... maybe ur using the wrong GPS app...

I think this is a minor... being on silent but without any alarm or led notification...

Lol... A Nexus (in 2015) using an SD card?!?! Lolol.... don't make any excuse for Google on why they don't use SD cards on their "western" mobiles... they simply just don't want to use them!!! this is a living proof of it!!!
[Nexus 5 General] CSX321:
Mine doesn't vibrate in that mode, but it looks like I don't get LED flashes either. I have a ZenWatch for notifications, though, so I don't really pay any attention to the LED.
[Nexus 5 General] Danny 0311:
Got it. Sorry for the delay. OK, one more question, and i'm ready to rock n' roll. Do i have to type in the path to tools folder, or just start each command with ./ ?
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
I'm not a Mac user, but I believe if your terminal window is open in the same directory, I think ./ is fine.
[Nexus 5 General] Danny 0311:
Command not found. File not found. It doesn't work.:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Are you sure your terminal is open in the directory that fastboot is in?

Try typing in the full path (and post a screenshot of the commands you are actually typing here).

Or, you can do what was mentioned in this post (i.e., put fastboot and adb in the /usr/bin directory, and they will be available no matter which directory you are in).

Today I have update to 5.1 from 5.0.1 I don't like it.

- busybox is replaced with toolbox (no GPL), there are less applets, tar is missing, fuser is missing. Ok I can install app busybox

- after a full charge, battery's statistics tell me you have only 3 hours, in previous version I have more then 1 day

- I can't open photos and video in Memory, I tap and I can't browse photos.

- There are only 5MB free on /system previous version was 49MB, bigger with less functions, ridiculous!!!

I rollbacking to 5.0.1 I think is better.

---------- Post added at 19:44 ---------- Previous post was at 19:39 ----------

Sure, there are only 5MB free space on /system, so we can't install almost nothing.
[Nexus 5 General] callous-1:
So far I'm pretty impressed with 5.1, but i just encountered a soft boot while sitting at me desk at work. Phone just rebooted itself (screen was off and then i noticed the android boot logo). Upon reboot I did notice that it kept all my "recents" prior to the reboot, in tact (Facebook, gmail, memory usage). Really strange. Phone was rebooted once since Tuesday night after fresh install. Phone was never rooted. I did a clean install with factory image w/stock kernel with full wipe using wugfresh tool kit. Anybody else experience this?

Google acknowledged it, and they say it's fixed, but the status is Future Release, so maybe we'll be seeing 5.1.1 soon.

[Nexus 5 General] AndroidPurity:
Yes!! This is happening to me too! I noticed this almost immediately after side loading the update to my Nexus 5 and rooting it. I saw Google Now had a card that said no WiFi to update (I have no SIM card in right now). I looked up and noticed there was Wifi symbol, so I pulled to refresh Google Now and was fine. I blew it off not thinking much of it, but then while on Google Play said no internet connection trying to load a page. I looked up at the status bar and the WiFi symbol was gone. I pulled the quick toggles down and saw under the WiFi toggle "obtaining IP address" for a second right before it reconnected. So it happened to me while the phone was awake. But was just about a 5 second disconnect if that.

After seeing your post, I also checked battery stats and can see it also disconnected once while it was asleep. Although not nearly as long as your's shows for. This is really disappointing to find there is a WiFi disconnecting bug in 5.1. I had no WiFi issues in 5.0.1. Well here is to hoping Google comes out with 5.1.1 to fix it pretty quickly. As it does seem to be multiple users. I saw at least 3 others report it besides us.

Is anyone else noticing WiFi disconnects while the screen is off or on?

You're going to have to do a little more work than a stock unit. The root and custom recovery will cause problems if you try to update via sideload with the stock OTA file. You're going to have to extract and flash some of the image files from the factory image. That thread should show you what to do. But you have to read it through and do the research. Many users have upgraded that have a similar setup as you do and they have hashed it out in that thread.
