Did you try the time to lock the GPS? Outdoor (clear sky) / Indoor (near a window)

(For instance: Just opening this app, without touching settings or the buttons at the bottom when you open it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cochibo.gpsstatus )

And what about the compass? (using Google Maps and pressing the GPS icon at the corner).

I used to have some issues with GPS and Compass in the Nexus 5 (2013).

I'll try and check this for you at lunch today
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

My Nexus 5X arrived today (CPW in the UK). I tried out the GPS shortly after booting up and it locked in seconds in the middle of the house with no clear sight to a window or the sky. Can't see anyone having any problems, of course initial lock times are very dependent on what assisted GPS data it can find or if it already knows where you are from Wi-Fi location so can get a quicker fix, plus if any apps have asked for a fix previously that will make it seem a lot faster.

Overall a very nice upgrade over the Nexus 5, the bigger screen is noticeable over the 5 and welcome without being huge, and it is very clear and lovely looking with natural colors. Whites are a true white, which when compared to other display sources might be considered yellowish by some, but when I compare to my calibrated computer monitors, the white matches very closely, so I think Google/LG have done a good job there.

Regards

Nice, so based in your comments, I guess we should not worry about the GPS and the display calibration!

> Screen: Nexus 4 used to had washed colors by default. (Nexus 5 is fine).

> GPS and Compass: Nexus 5 (at least my sample) have issues with compass (not everywhere), and it was really difficult to lock the gps indoor. And in outdoors have some time outs. (So I think now in 5X all this will work pretty fine).

Try the following things (not just for the topic, but for you) Signal strength vs previous phone, VoIP Quality (echo cancellation ON, latest Nexus 5 was pretty fine here, but I can't say the same for my old Nexus 4), ARP Offload, etc.
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

I've not got a SIM card in it yet, so just on Wi-Fi, but 5GHz and 2.4GHz signal equals the Nexus 5. VoIP I will test however I don't expect any problems as essentially this is basically what VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling uses, and of course Project Fi uses this as well which the new Nexus devices support.

Not sure how to test ARP offload.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
Well this issue is very strange nowadays but for ARP offload, just turn Off your phone screen with WiFi data, let it enter "deep sleep" (without the charger), and send some WhatsApp messages or VoIP calls and see how much time it takes to receive push notifications.

Can't hear any difference in where sound comes from using stereo test. Both left and right sound like they come form the same place.
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

Wasn't this an issue on the Nexus 4 a few years back? Never had the issue on the Nexus 5, and the Nexus 5X has been responding immediately to any push notifications at the exact same moment the Nexus 5 and Nexus 9 have, as they are currently all in the same room. That's on Wi-Fi on battery power.

Yes! I said this (that it was a bug in the Nexus 4; because of this SoC etc) in a previous post here.

Didn't happen in other Nexus devices so nothing to worry about.

I've never owned a Nexus device before and was super excited to get the 5X because I like smaller phones and vanilla Android. I have had Android since day one when the G1 was released and have loved it ever since. But watching these reviews about the new Nexus 5X, and reading things over the last few days, my excitement it's getting very deflated.

Honestly I just think people had greater expectations then what Google delivered, but Google delivered what they believed to be what they wanted and the industry needed. Sure they could have packed their phones with a greater punch, but maybe they have a grander plan down the road that we don't see it. Everyone keeps comparing them to all these other phones and in my opinion why don't they just get the phone that they want. Maybe price is a factor, but if you can't afford it then you can have it. That's the bottom line. Sure I would have loved to see 3 gigabytes of RAM in the Nexus 5X and a little bit bigger battery, 64 gigabyte memory, but overall I think we'll be fine.

I think Google just wants to give everyone one to two years with these phones and next year they're going to come out with something spectacular. They're feeling the market out again because of last year's flop of the Nexus 6. It's not so much a flop as a disappointment to people who like smaller phones. This year they delivered up on that and have the larger version for those who like it that way. With smartphones, size definitely matters.

All in all, unfortunately it seems like we can't have our cake and eat it too when we really want that experience. I'm not sure why Google doesn't do more surveys or poll the people who matter and deliver on that.

Maybe right now these things are just more expensive to make and they cant. Maybe their hands are tied. I'm not sure, but when my Nexus 5X arrives this or next week, I'm going to play around with it as much as I can and hopefully not return it, but if I do then I'm probably going to get the Sony Xperia Z5 compact. I'm coming from Z3 compact and love the phone except for my headphone jack broke and no one will fix it. So that kind of defeats listening to music or watching movies with headphones. I like to go on runs and listen to podcasts and I can't do that with the phone. So I was going to make the Sony Xperia Z3C my backup phone to the Nexus 5X if that is to my liking when it arrives.

I didn't think about this but maybe Google is following Apple. Release two flagship phones with different sizes
[Nexus 5X General] Spitfire:
Have you noticed any hardware defects? I can't remember all the initial problems of the N5, but there were a few like running hot, yellow tint to the screen, rattling... anything like that with the 5x?
[Nexus 5X General] Highland3r:
No nothing so far. The haptic motor can sound a little rattly, but that's splitting hairs.

<edit> just put a game on for a few minutes, got a little warm around the camera so may end up hot after prolonged use

Google released one flagship and one very middle range device. Apple released two high end flagships. I like the way Apple did it better.

Attached some more battery screenshots from yesterday, this is pretty representative of a day at work + light evening usage. Further screenshot from this morning showing drop off when phone was un-used overnight (although LED was flashing most of the time)

I'd normally charge the Nexus 5 at work during the day (and it'd need topping up in the evening or overnight) so the battery life certainly feels better than the 5 at this point. Still a little early to tell properly though.

[MENTION=2051345]Highland3r[/MENTION] are the speaker grille things hard plastic? Is it durable? It looks like it can be easy to break if pressed or similar. I am worried that it can be pushed in if it gets hit or it can pop off
[Nexus 5X General] Highland3r:
Don't think they'd pop off, but they feel like they could break if pressed hard in the right place at the right angle. Not going to test the breaking strain though! Maybe when/if there's an ifixit teardown it may become a bit more obvious.
[Nexus 5X General] 0.0:
Lol, thanks for the info and please don't test! I just wanted to know by the looks of it if it can. I hope it is sturdy. The 6P has metal grilles which is why I ask if it will it durable and sturdy enough

Don't have any meaningful battery stats from yesterday - phone was on charge all day (trickle) due to rundown test the day before. Interesting force closes/random crapness in the battery section of settings this morning though, only a single entry showing as having consumed battery and that had weird stats against it. Fixed with a reboot, but random none the less!
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
As far as I know its 30fps.
[Nexus 5X General] dijonemon:
My thoughts after the first 24 hours

- Battery Life is much better than the N5 but I can definitely tell I've gone from a large battery (in the OnePlus) to smaller one. Doze didn't seem to kick in last night. Screen on time isn't going to get 5 hrs, but fast charge mitigates that.

- Fingerprint sensor and Lastpass are a great combination, really noticed it when I was setting up my phone

- Camera so far has been good, but video jerkiness isn't the best. Wasn't expecting it to be as good as it turned out to be. App is laggy as hell, and I've had the green screen happen a couple of times. Swapping to video and back fixed it. Slo-mo video works really really well.

- Some bugs with Android Wear disconnecting and smartlock keeps asking me if I want to set up the watch again.

3th recharging cycle. I had mixed 4g and Wi-Fi usage, hangout for nearly an hour, videos, you tube, browsing camera in work, downloading few apps and downloading content for them, some Spotify listening too.

To mention I have google sync on, few email sync on but don't do social staff yet ( FB, instagram or alike) This time I made it to 5 SOT.
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

I've made several calls and no one has noticed any difference, and they sound just the same to me as well, which is typically thin and slightly rough due to the compression used, hopefully this will improve as VoLTE becomes common place and we get better compression codecs used as in HD Voice.

It should be noted that the microphone isn't behind the horizontal speaker grill at the bottom of the screen, it's a small hole by the headphone socket, perhaps they had that covered or it was just a bad connection. Also some cases do not include a cut out for that microphone so blocking it.

Regards

Screen Colors?

Hi guys,

Looking to order either the 5x or the 6p this week. I'm leaning towards the 5x, mostly because of the small screen size. I had the original Nexus 5 and absolutely loved it - would still be using it if my carrier supported it.

I've seen several review videos, and noticed in photos, that the screen seems to be really yellow. Whites seem to have a warm, yellow tint. Is this something others are experiencing?

Also - this may be far off - but I'm switching from a G3. Anyone else doing the same that already has the 5x? How do they compare?
[Nexus 5X General] jbdan:
The 5X is very color accurate. PA shows it has about a 6800k color temp. I absolutely love it that way. You're most likely used to looking at phone displays that have a very blue-ish tint to them, but to your eyes it looks more white. Once accustomed to this it can initially be hard changing to a warmer more accurately color calibrated display. It's all about personal preference and what you're used to.

I switched from a G4. It's color temp is about 8000k, so very blueish. I got used to it, but am happy to be back on a more properly color calibrated phone display. The N5 is also a very accurate color calibrated display fyi
[Nexus 5X General] bennyboy_84:
It is definitely something I experienced yesterday when I got my 32 GB Carbon N5X. Comparing it to my One M8 it is not THAT bad but definitely yellower. However, when I compare it to the Z3 screen that has albeit a much more white/blueish screen, it becomes quite obvious (at least to my eye) that the screen is VERY yellow. See image /MPG4kTc/ on imgur (can't post links, account too "young" :) Also the max brightness is quite low compared to any other phone I have on hand (Nexus 4, One M8 or Xperia Z3) and there is almost no difference when changing the brightness slider from 50 to 100% brightness without adaptive brightness on.

I've asked for a replacement as I do not think this is normal. If the replacement is the same, I suppose I'll learn to live with it and try to never look at my Z3 again but I have a hard time believing this is what a screen is supposed to look like :confused:
[Nexus 5X General] m4r0v3r:
which ****ing genius thought that encrypting the device by default with no way to disable it was a great idea. that's not a choice Google should be making for people.
[Nexus 5X General] donutman:
aww damn i notice the whites seem to be yellowish too, compared in to my one plus one. didnt notice it before yall brought it up though. and i can notice it when its side by side with my other phone. by itself, it looks fine to me.
[Nexus 5X General] kyrietompkins:
Yeah, from what I've seen (and heard in other videos) people like the warmer whites, and it's not as noticeable IRL as it is on camera. It'll be an adjustment from the G3, but not as much of a deal breaker as I was worried about. It does look like some people end up with ones that pull REALLY yellow, unfortunately - I guess if I get one I'll just have to send it back.
[Nexus 5X General] Highland3r:
Don't have proper battery stats from the last 2 days as I've been out of cycle charging wise. It is certainly much much better than my nexus5 was, not reaching for a charger at all. Sat on 66% at the moment under normal usage (at work, so low screen on time but streaming music) which is way way above the nexus5.

Haptic motor is getting a bit annoying and trickle charging seems much slower than with previous phones (could be increase battery cap??)

Still loving the phone overall and all the original points still stand.
[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
I hate the placement of the volume rockers. Gonna need two hands to take a screenshot now.

A couple of questions:

a) Can I change the orange color that appears in the messenger window?

b) How do I prevent the contacts from showing ALL the e-mail addresses that Gmail has EVER used.

As a note: I went into contacts -> contacts to display -> custom -> Google Import list only + WhatsApp. Under contacts, I see only those; HOWEVER when I click the phone Icon and then slide to the contacts tab, I see the e-mail addresses again!

My HTC One M7 NEVER had this issue!

c) How do I turn the vibration off when I use the keyboard?

Can anyone help?
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
As a right handed person my thumb tends to rest on the volume key which I'm not a fan of, also holding the phone in landscape and trying to find volume up can be a tad tricky. I think I would prefer the volume buttons on the left (mid way up) or on the back as LG likes to do it but it should be easy to get used to either way.

Settings > Language and Input > Googe Keyboard > Preferences > Vibrate on Keypress
[Nexus 5X General] bexwhitt:
There is defiantly something wrong with the camera app but apart from that as Oberon says it's great gravy.

The reason for the 2 ended type c is for quick charging and I was aware of it before so I ordered an cheap A to C off Ebay.

On the camera when it works it takes great picture and the HDR works well but it's shown a blank screen a couple of times.

As I always use bluetooth stereo they can put the socket wherever as I wont use it.

I am staying stock unrooted so my bank apps will work and the updates will install without any messing.
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
I know what you mean however there is nothing to be bothered about simply for the reason it looks different form Sony. Sony is famous for having out of the box quite cool display temperature. Quite high to a point anything warmer looks yellower. I work with calibrated display ( Nec Multisync PA241W) so my nexus 5x in comparison looks very close to calibrated panel. Colors are natural without visible saturation, whites are whites but the blues.

There is one thing that might give you yellow/green that you might find on display which is 5x camera . Sometimes white balance gets off in very similar, two images, same color palette maybe a slight deviation in light and you get quite strong yellow/green tint but this is something that google engineers have to work on polishing camera software. In fact for this same reason I collect these days necessary evidence to write email to google nexus team. I want to let them know I expect more from nexus device :) Nexus 5x has truly awesome screen!

[Nexus 5X General] ghettopops:
I have not spent a ton of time on my N5x due to no case and a makeshift screen protector. The one thing I've noticed when comparing to my OnePlus Two is Daaaaayuuum the FPR is quick and dead on. Like others have said the whites are either warmer or more yellow compared to my 1+2 but if I turn up brightness it diminishes. I tend to keep brightness on bottom 20% most of time. Only thing that made me go hmmmm was I noticed warmth on FPR and right below camera. I had installed 45 apps earlier and was doing some surfing but had been at least 35-50 mins since all apps installed. Anyways rebooted and haven't messed with too much since. I love the form factor. Very similar to N5. Think ima like this phone. Now just wondering about swapping out myb1+2 for 6p ?

Some further battery stats from this week (over 2 posts)

This is typical device usage whilst at work - screen off, but spotify playing so overall SOT time is relatively low (2 hours in this cycle)

However, this provided with a little over 1.5 days battery life - probably would have hit 2 if the phone was fully charged at the start of the cycle.

SOT time is low I know, but it's certainly comforting not to have to worry about searching for power all the time (under my standard usage)
[Nexus 5X General] Highland3r:
Stats from yesterday - shade under 4 hours SOT with none of the sync stuff disabled. There's a missing chunk in timeline due to OTA update installation and associated optimization. This is typical weekend usage - more SOT time and no streaming.

Forgot to get a SS before putting on charge this morning, but screen wasn't used while device was charging.

Doze is doing an awesome job overnight of keeping drain to pretty much nothing!

No as far as i can tell, which is disappointing, coming from a HTC One m8, and using fitbit was nice, and the motion co processor and the android sensor hub sound like they do identical things. if it works with Google fit, i havent been able to tell because i use the moto 360, so it may be grabbing the data from there. As for the fitbit(and possibly other third party apps) I dont think that they have access to the co processor, which is odd.

Use as a pedometer? Whatever..

Anywho, I ran my initial charge(79%) that I got shipped with for about 39 hrs. I noticed that I still trickled down about 1% hourly over night. Then I tried to charge the phone when I reached 7% with my 1+2 charger. It said it was charging but it actually dropped down to 5% and held steady. Left it there for 30 mins. I switched over to N5x charger and it slow charged for the next 20 mins only governing men5% putting me up to 10%. I rebooted and tried 5x charger and it has been doing fine quick charging. I would like to give my OnePlus charger another try seeing as I ordered another to use as a USB for my computer. Beyond that my only gripe is I keep putting my finger on the camera and getting mad that the phone doesn't unlock :/

Also have noticed that the USB C cable fits very snug and is kind of hard to unplug off unit. Don't think that will fair well over time.
