Thanks , I will try a clean restore. I have automatically restored from my previous nexus. I will give a try.

Am I the only one that NEVER restore any data from Google accounts? That **** always messes something up from what I've seen
[Nexus 5X General] adam.kelly2:
I really like this phone and its due to a few small things it does right. It's fast like my last phone, but I love the fingerprint sensor placement. The S6 and other phones like it are doing it wrong placing it on the home button.

Another thing I really like is just how smooth it is. An 808 and 2 gigs of ram sounds pathetic compared to some other chipset, but in practice that isn't the case.
[Nexus 5X General] perXway1:
Agree 100%.
[Nexus 5X General] hopesrequiem:
I like it so buttery, I actually set the animations slower then stock. You want to see how buttery this phone is, set animations to 1.5x. Smooth as hell and you can truly see Google's new animations in all their glory

I am watching this thread "5x - Hugely Disappointed" from the start and it is nice that it is turning more and more into "5x - Hugely Satisfied" :)

Only downside from my point of view is a price of device outside of US and that Nexus 5X only comes with a USB type-C cable and there is no type-C to type-A cable in the box as is in Nexus 6P box :(

Happy New Year 2016 to all :)
[Nexus 5X General] blinkin:
Pricing in Switzerland is similar to USA ☺
[Nexus 5X General] barondebxl:
+1. It's always better to start fresh.

Am I disappointed with the 5X? Absolutely not. Especially for how much I paid for it (someone sold it to me brand new for $270). At that price it's a steal IMO.
[Nexus 5X General] xFuGiToiDx:
This should help ease the lag you guys are experiencing.
[Nexus 5X General] scgf:
I have now sold my 5x and purchased a new Samsung Galaxy S6. Here in the UK the price is slightly lower than the 5x. I put Nova Launcher on it and I am surprised at how close to stock it looks - I'm running Marshmallow on it - the beta version is available here in the UK. I have always been wary of TouchWiz, but the only place I see it is in the pull-down shortcuts.

The S6 is very fluid and has wireless and fast charging in a premium form factor. Given it costs slightly less than the 5x comparisons with the 5x are completely valid.

[Nexus 5X General] chunkypumpkin:
I've been watching this thread every since I received my Nexus 5X almost two weeks ago and I was a little worried that the Nexus 5X wasn't going to live up to my expectations because of all the negativity that seems to be surrounding this phone. Nevertheless, I can say from my personal experience that the Nexus 5X is an awesome phone after these two weeks of daily use.
[Nexus 5X General] scgf:
Then maybe there is a bigger problem. I experienced the glitches, bluetooth not connecting, audio dropping out after a couple of minutes etc. etc.. Others are claiming their Nexus 5x is not affected by these problems. It really hit me when I went back to my Nexus 5 and found it SO much better than the 5X. It is much easier to solve a problem which affects all, much harder to solve one which affects a sub-set of users.

I don't think we should be so narrow-minded as to only follow our own phone. I have a Nexus 5, an S6, a Lumia 930 and Lumia 920. I have only just sold by Nexus 5x. I'm interested in all phones and will not be constrained to one sub-forum!
[Nexus 5X General] adam.kelly2:
Updated Google Camera app has eliminated start up lag, at least for me.
[Nexus 5X General] kusi:
I bought two 5 Nexus 5X and i was very disappointed.

the nexus 5x is certainly the laggiest nexus device i ever had.

When i saw how crappy the nexus 5x i sold them and got two Samsung Note 5.
[Nexus 5X General] DespairFactor:
I have never seen so much hatred for a device that is actually everything it claims to be and more. It's sad to see hostility in forums due to another individual's preference. It's almost as if you are trying to justify your purchases.
[Nexus 5X General] drpelpi:
I have tried everything except whatever involves rooting to improve the experience. In comparison with the nexus 5, there is definitely lag everywhere and the camera app is a total disaster. Can't remember the last device spending 3 to 4 secs to put the picture in the right position after rotating. Overall I am not complaining about the everyday use but the fact of what you expect from a device that was supposed to be an upgrade, but works clearly worse than its 2 year old brother. Either the nexus 5 was so good that it can't be matched two years later, or the nexus 5x did not receive the same attention from Google.

[Nexus 5X General] Pete02:
Well I guess they don't roll off the assembly line the same then cause I just received my 5X yesterday and it runs pretty darn fast and smooth for me. It's still fully stock cause I'm waiting on a nano sim from vzw before I mess with it but I went thru just about every screen I could, in and out of apps and the phone ran great for me. I also had no trouble at all with the camera and found that it takes really great photos imo. Honestly I'm clueless as to what some of you are talking about. When I think about how much I've spent on dual core phones back in the day and the current running price of high end phones nowadays (which is just insane) the 5X looks like a pretty good bang for the buck imo and I'm very happy with it.
[Nexus 5X General] hopesrequiem:
Agreed dude. Well said. Best budget phone out there for our price at least. Love the size, weight, feel, and performance. If I want heavy gaming. I use my 6s plus.
[Nexus 5X General] jdk2:
Aw crap. Now you'll be branded an Apple loyalist. Sheesh.
[Nexus 5X General] hopesrequiem:
I've been using android devices for years, rooting and roming. I own a 6s plus currently in addition to my 5x. Multiple android handsets to one iphone. Lol check my responses to this site over the years. Check my thanks count. If people believe that I'm an apple loyalist when all I do is praise my 5x, then they are ****ing stupid and uninformed.
[Nexus 5X General] scgf:
What are you talking about, lol? We're just discussing phones. I have never understood the extreme loyalty people have to a company which exists simply to make money - whether that company is Google, Apple, Samsung or Microsoft. It's like they're shareholders or something. I just had a less than stellar experience with my Nexus 5x and was disappointed. Period.
[Nexus 5X General] 021adam:
Idk about trolls being sent here but from the original post, the complaints in this thread seem exaggerated. How far the guy drove to get his phone is irrelevant. I love my 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] queerquirks:
Chill out guys, it may have the same processor as a moto x pure or lg g4 but this not means 5x is a flagship. Google has on purpose made the 5x as a budget phone, any comparisons to flagships should be against the 6p.

E.g Screen res, 2gb ram, lack of wireless charging to accommodate 6p and the touchscreen (compare the sensitivity of the s6 and z5 touchscreen)
[Nexus 5X General] 021adam:
I would consider it mid level. Some of the specs are high level such as the camera and processor but some are lower level. You have to know what you're getting. I watched a lot of expert reviews before buying it and I'm not disappointed in my phone at all. A perfect phone would be a mix of 6p and 5x.
[Nexus 5X General] queerquirks:
Yes it's a midrange range at the top end of the scale. By defining 5x as budget I was comparing it to 6p, similar to how oems make their smaller variant less powerful in hw specs.

I came from a s6, it's obviously not as fast and typing doesn't feel as good but smoothness is debatable esp with the ease of custom software
[Nexus 5X General] hopesrequiem:
See I had an s6. It was only quick with 3 apps open. After that it turned slow as hell. Even having apps open, it had to redraw the launcher constantly, and apps would actually reload instead of being kept in memory, even though they showed in the recent apps window. My 5x multitasks better than my s6 did with less ram. I don't care what these Samsung trolls say. I love Samsung devices as I've owned about 5 of them, but their software is a joke, which makes their specs irrelevant.

Their camera is better, and their speaker is better. Wireless charging is something I barely used so I don't see it as a loss.
[Nexus 5X General] pnut22r:
I have an S6 and 5X. I prefer using the 5X bit the S6 "feels" like better hardware.

I think the 5X camera is better then the S6. I have kids and it performs much better with them, and low light
[Nexus 5X General] umbrokhan:
few people on this forum saying Nexus 5 2013 (2 years old) device is faster then Nexus 5x.
[Nexus 5X General] 021adam:
So what? My G2 was fast af. Love my 5x tho.
[Nexus 5X General] perXway1:
Nexus 5 is one of the best phones ever made when we're talking raw horsepower. I sold my S6 and went back to my Nexus 5 it was so nice. Yeah it could have been improved in many ways... but as far as performance, that thing is a beast.

LG G2 was also unbelievable. I know people who still rock it and it still performs great
[Nexus 5X General] umbrokhan:
Nexus 5 (2013) was it based on LG G2?

Is Nexus 5 battery life is poor compared to Nexus 5x?
[Nexus 5X General] withdrawn:
Even though I had minor screen issues and hardware issues with the original Nexus 5, the software experience and speed and fluidity was superb. The same with the nexus 4, and the nexus 6. I've used a nexus 6p, and it is lightening fast and smooth and fluid.

The nexus 5x on the other hand, was not, out of the box. It may have been improved now via software updates etc, but MY out of the box experience was initially subpar. First impressions count, and unfortunately, on this occasion, google failed and lost a customer.

I am happy for those who are enjoying the device Though. Each to their own.

For those claiming it is a ''budget'' handset, it may be if you live in other parts of the world, but in the UK, the google asking price for a 32gb Nexus 5x is £379.00, which equals to $556.49.

[Nexus 5X General] caifaz:
my impression

out of the box, not as good as I would think it would be

after rooting, custom rom installation (xTtraSmooth), custom kernel (elementalX), xposed, etc (BTW I tried to had the same setup as my old N5) -----------> tatarararaaaaaaaaaa

GREAT just great it is an improvement, battery life rocks 1.5 days with moderate-heavy use, camera improved a lot.

Come on guys you can't compare an out of the box N5X to a tweaked N5. both phones should have the same setup to be able to make an impartial statement.

PROS:

- superfast

- no lags

- great screen

- great size (for a hobbit hand man like myself)

- latest android

- great battery (only using default greenify and amplify)

- it is not a 5 inch stove when charging or playing (tested minecraft)

CONS

- still no FM radio

- I would love a 64GB version

- no OIS but it seems the famous algorithm does its work

- no USB-A cable

OTHER THOUGHTS

the 2GB concern is out of proportion, after using it for a few days my son installed and played minecraft, and after checking I still had RAM left.

Any questions regarding it? I'm more than happy to provide information

RINGKE ultraslim case is GREAT!

dystronic TPU case is good!
[Nexus 5X General] davwman:
Currently have a 6p. Looking to sell and move to the 5x because of size. Am I going to be disappointed?
[Nexus 5X General] nizarnoor:
I'm feeling the same way as the OP. I wish there was a 6P Compact... 5X is just not good enough.
[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
The Nexus 5 was based on the G2 but they cheaped out big time, giving the Nexus 5 a smaller battery and worse camera. I've had both and the G2 battery life is double that of the Nexus 5 running stock on both.

I don't own a 5x so I suggest you look at the battery thread for more info.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

For me, I just want that extra Gig of RAM. :crying:
[Nexus 5X General] maxmax0:
Dont think so, however you should consider decrypting your device during your first installation, otherwise you may notice things are a tad slower and less "snappy" on the 5x. Difference is not huge and most ppl wont notice, but coming from the 6p you may. It is really a great device and I think you will like it :)
[Nexus 5X General] Mountainfisher:
I like the phone. the vibration is fine. I use blootooth for all music, call quality is fine. Phone is not extra speedy , but isnt slow. Camera is good. Everything is ok , unless you are a phone snob .
[Nexus 5X General] rapha.194:
Phonearena already said that the audio is a downside smartphone
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
Typing this on my N5X I received today - iv owned every single nexus phone, coming to this after 2yrs with the N5 - I'm perfectly happy with this phone. Bigger screen bigger battery quick charge and fingerprint scanner, which is exactly why I bought it. I'm getting little to no lag that u guys talk of - only downside for me was the lack of rubbery back that my n5 had. Luckily I already had a spigen case sitting here and it has the soft back I want. All in all I'm loving the N5X - 6P is far too big for me, 5.2" is my limit as anything bigger won't let me operate 1 handed.
[Nexus 5X General] dg2119:
After 24 hours with the device, I am a little disappointed as well, but word was already on the street relating to the pain points I am experiencing. The benefits of this device is that it is extremely lightweight and although plastic, a very comfortable phone to hold. It is a bit more slippery but I always use a case so that is a moot point. I also find the screen to be very pleasant and very happy with the camera performance thus far.

I really dislike the look and feel of the power/volume buttons. They look and feel like they are going to fall off, haha. I also ran into some issues with the phone becoming laggy and slow responsiveness with only some moderate/light use of the device. With that said, I am disappointed that all of the high quality top spec'd devices have to be 5.5" inch plus. No wonder there is such a huge market for the iPhone 6/6s... I feel like that is the phone I need to own to have the specs I want for a size I love! :(

I have the 6P on preorder and have been constantly messing with my buddy's Moto X Pure to see if I can force myself to transition to a bigger size phone :/
[Nexus 5X General] jbdan:
I think the 5X is awesome with the 4 hours I've been playing with it getting it all setup. The only weak point I've seen so far is that the vibration motor is weak. It feels tiny, but that's cool with me I never use it. It doesn't make any noise at all. The display is killer! Fantastic color temp very bright and crisp. The call quality is great on the 2 phone calls I've been on (with land line and with another tmobile user). The speaker is louder and sounds better than the N5 (I have an N5 too). Don't use headphones so can't comment there. Zero lag so far and as fluid and smooth as my N5. Build quality is awesome imo. My history is N4, GS4, N5, GS6, N6, G4. That's all I got so far. I'd definitely get another phone if I felt the way the OP does.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Any performance regression compared to the N5 would probably be related to encryption being forced on the 5x. However in my day of usage I've only noticed slow downs occasionally when scrolling.

In the Nexus AMA they mentioned they're still using software based encryption. It seems they tried to compensate for that by including faster NAND.

The Nexus 5X And 6P Have Software-Accelerated Encryption

I find the 5x to be a step up in every area except audio quality, which is louder but about the same quality. The vibration is not your usual sound but having heard a friends M9 extremely loud and forceful vibration I'd actually prefer this one.
[Nexus 5X General] OMEiAM:
I personally prefer the buttons on the 5X when compared to my S6 edge and iPhone 6.
[Nexus 5X General] cthip:
I'd like to know more about this. My first android was a Nexus S and it ROCKED as a media player with supercurio's VoodooSound. Then I upgraded to a Nexus 5, which was a much better phone, but was definitely lacking in the audio department. I'll be SORELY disappointed if the 5X is even worse. . .
[Nexus 5X General] OMEiAM:
I have Audio-Technica M50x Headphones and I would say they sound as good as on my S6 edge. I've also tested the call quality (on the T-Mobile network and using Wi-Fi calling) and people so far say I sound as good as my S6 edge and iPhone for phone calls and Hangouts. You say "touchwiz lags", but my S6 edge has been fluid besides ram management problems. I also have an iPhone 6 to compare and have tried different phones from other OEMs than Samsung and still like how the 5X is performing.
[Nexus 5X General] kamajikaciya:
So you should return the device and get a refund.

But I'm pretty sure that Google will think better of mandatory encryption. They will release a new update like 6.1 and they will return to non-mandatory but highly recommended encryption option.

Nexus users cannot agree with lags. Sorry Google.
[Nexus 5X General] withdrawn:
Are you genuinely being honest? The audio quality is pathetic to say the least. I commute for work in the mornings, and earlier today, whilst on a heavily packed train to London, I could not hear a blasted thing at all on the 5x with my headphones plugged in.

Listening to music, whilst being able to hear people next to me talking is unacceptable and I have never had this problem on nexus 5 or the nexus 6, because the audio quality was better and louder. To make matters worse, the first generation moto g trumped all three of these handsets (audio/sound), and I purchased that for £129.99.

My brother has a galaxy s6, and the audio is substantially louder, clear, less tinny, more clarity than the nexus 5x.

My sister has an Lg G4, and the audio is actually pretty good, in ear as well as the speaker. I have two other family members with moto devices, and both cheaper models compared to the nexus 5x, but with superior audio.

i am quite shocked that you feel the audio with headphones plugged in, is in the same league as the s6 edge, because, in my opinion, i feel its such a huge drop in comparison to the standard s6, it beggars belief.

The same is said for the call quality and volume. It's far too low compared to today's standards. Literally comparing it to my family members smartphones, it highlights the flaws even more regarding how low the call volume is. Frankly, this just isn't on or acceptable, especially for a device that costs £300+.

Its all fine and well incorporating the latest technologies, like a finger print sensor, and high pixel density screens etc, but if certain manufacturers cannot even get the basics right, the actual foundations of a phone correct, like in call volume etc, then what is the point?

A £20 nokia candy bar phone has louder call volume, quality and clarity.

We purchase smartphones mainly as a functional portable device as well as for a media experience. Having a decent level of volume is paramount to be able to enjoy any media experience, which on this occasion, google has omitted.
[Nexus 5X General] LR07:
I'm just worried about the phone not having OIS. Every video sample I have seen so far are very shaky. Can anyone post their impressions on the camera? Most likely I will be getting the 5X anyway. Been waiting too long to upgrade from my S4
[Nexus 5X General] PhoenixTank:
Genuinely starting to wonder if there are quite a few defective units out there. Some say call & general audio quality are just fine. Others, such as the OP, say it is pretty damn horrendous.

Grasping at straws here: Could the difference between the various M builds, or the international vs USA model be a reason for the discrepancies?
[Nexus 5X General] pjc123:
Headphone jack audio volume being very low would be a deal breaker for me if that turns out to be a strictly hardware issue, not to mention the other complaints....Guess I am keeping my Nexus 4 and upgrading the OS to CM 13 when it becomes available.
[Nexus 5X General] Nidstang:
Here is a fairly lengthy reddit thread focused on audio output from the 3.5mm jack. Consensus seems to be it is fine.
[Nexus 5X General] Mountainfisher:
My headphones volume level is fine. Have to turn it down so it doesn't hurt my ears.
[Nexus 5X General] quasitime:
Well. I'm coming from an S6 Edge so I'm trying to keep my expectations low. For such a premium device, the S6 overheats and lags absurdly. Sometimes I'll wait up to 3 seconds for app to respond when it's especially "taxed".

But yeah, it's sad to hear about all these things. I had high hopes for the 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] withdrawn:
Now you've all got me thinking I'm crazy! I surely cannot be the only person who feels this way about the sound/audio?!!!!!!????

Unless of course, I genuinely do have a faulty unit or something.

Now I'm stuck on my options. I have just read on the carphonewarehouse website that they do not offer refunds on opened phones, and only offer an exchange policy on phones for 14 days after purchase, and this is limited to one exchange only. So I could exchange it for another 5x, but then risk experiencing the same level of dissatisfaction if the audio is subpar on all the 5x devices but then be forced to stick with it.

I would have loved to have paid the additional cost and exchanged for a 6p, but they do not have any in stock until 30th Of November.

I wonder if they'd let me exchange and wait until its official in stock release..
[Nexus 5X General] XMoDuLeSx:
M8 is far better device and it's almost 2 years old ...
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
The M8 was also a $650 off contract phones back in March 2014. I don't know about far better but I would think it's still better to some degree. It was HTC's top tier phone while the 5X is Google's lower tier.

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.
[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
I think its because of the speed of the 5 when new and running KK. If you buy the 5X and came from the 5, if the speed doesn't match the 5 KK speed, you are bound to be disappointed. That's how I felt when I turned on my new Nexus 9. :crying:

In a race between a N5 running 4.4.4 (Stock) Vs 5X running 6.0.1 (Stock) I know where my money would be. ;)
