Looks like some people are either getting defective chargers, or there is something defective with the phone causing it to happen to certain people.
[Nexus 5X General] shallowscar:
My Nexus5X is also performing so slow after 2-3 days on. Applications are killed, keyboard lags... And in the Running Services I can see System takes more than 800mb of RAM... No other way to solve this except rebooting my phone...
[Nexus 5X General] blinkin:
There is another way, install custom rom ?
[Nexus 5X General] sdmix:
Thanks for that link! I hadn't spotted that post. I've posted a length reply over there if anyone here is interested to read my findings so far after also taking the phone back to Carphone Warehouse today at lunch to try and get a replacement.

HTC One A9 seems a little more tempting than the 5x to me... Its close
[Nexus 5X General] bavarianblessed:
I honestly think you are all crazy. I'm coming from a GS4 so hardware wise it was an upgrade anyway but reports of laggy cameras and basic lag when browsing seem far fetched to me. I am having just the opposite experience. Literally every thing I do on this phone is snappy and immediate. Granted I am running a custom ROM but even on the stock OS it was this way. I haven't read through the entire thread but could the earlier OS versions be responsible for the performance issues some are reporting?
[Nexus 5X General] thenewcraze:
Agreed.

I've had every Nexus iteration and came from a N6. This thing hasn't hiccupped a single time as a power user.

I think expectations due to international pricing disparity may have skewed some of these opinions. And rightfully so. But it's an outstanding device coming from someone who's on the latest Android device very few months.
[Nexus 5X General] _jis_:
I agree with this. Exactly.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
I've had my Nexus 5X for just about a month now and I'm mostly happy with it. I came from a Nexus 5 and compared to that the Nexus 5X is a decent improvement. The camera is better, the speaker is better, the screen colors are improved, the battery life is a tiny bit better and the vibration motor is MUCH better. My only complaints are the battery life which is only a tiny bit better than my Nexus 5 when it was new but still not very good(which is expected from a 2,700mAh battery powering a 5.2" 1080p IPS LCD) and it's pretty big too because of the very large bezels.
[Nexus 5X General] haloimplant:
Same here, 3 days after a reboot and there is only 550MB left for apps. Then I look in cached apps and none of my apps are actually running (they've all been dumped) and between google apps, 3 stray chrome processes (I closed all tabs), camera, etc there is only 250MB left to actually run things. That's pretty sad I hope they can improve it.

One of the reasons I didn't hesitate about the 2GB was all the talk of new android versions going easy on memory well so much for that.

After a month this is my only major complaint though (battery life and reception have been good and fixed camera app is coming) so overall needing a restart every 2 days to keep the phone snappy isn't the end of the world.
[Nexus 5X General] jensvoss1:
There has been great complains about that topic when lolloipop was released. So I think its not a special topic for the Nexus 5x. Many people had those issues with the Nexus 5 2013: if you doesn't restart the phone every single day the memory runs full so there where force closes of many Apps you running in the background like Play Music or Spotify.

Can't post a Link, but try to search for "memory leak Nexus 5" and you'll find many posts in the Google issue tracker.

Just came over from the GS6, it was a good phone but I miss my stock android. Loving USB C and the fingerprint scanner on the back. Missed the nexus life. Don't regret the switch.

But it has since been fixed. No N5 2013 has reported that issue

I need to reboot my work station with 16gb of ram daily for CAD and other resource intensive software to not lag, wouldn't expect a computer that fits in my pocket to be any better.
[Nexus 5X General] Ezzy77:
Nothing wrong with the audio quality per se if the only problem you have with headphones is volume. Use an external amp or get lower impedance headphones. Yes, it's a shame the amp isn't as powerful as others, but the audio quality itself is perfectly fine and on-par with flagship devices.

I do agree that the speaker is terrible, but I'm coming from an HTC One M7, so that was expected.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

You might be doing something wrong. I have my nearly 7-year-old Windows 10 PC and phone on 24/7 for weeks on end (unless there are system updates) without lag increasing measurably. I do have an SSD in it and I keep my eye on resource hogs, so that helps, but to accept rebooting daily, that would be insane.
[Nexus 5X General] Sinergie:
Yesterday I went to a local store to take a look at the 5X. Build seems more sturdy than my Nexus 5 (hopefully no cracks in the housing after months of use). I don't like the increase in size compared to my N5. When I place my hand so that my thumb can reach the lower parts of the screen, my thumb can't reach the top of the screen to draw down the notification bar without repositioning the 5X in my hand. Also tested the speaker with a Youtube clip, when volume is at max setting with both phones the loudness is about the same (though you have to cup the speaker a bit on the N5) except it sounds distorted on the 5X. So the speaker is even worse than the already crippled one in the N5. Shame on Google.
[Nexus 5X General] ethanfel:
No the speaker isn't worse, it's bad yes, but definitively better than the n5. Front facing is better, more loud.
[Nexus 5X General] Sinergie:
That's your opinion, mine states it's worse. The results of the speaker test in the review at GSMArena also confirm my findings.
[Nexus 5X General] Rogoshin:
I also like this speaker more, than The speaker om my N5.

Most other reviews are subjective, GSMArena is one of the few that actually measures the output. Numbers don't lie.

Numbers don't usually tell the whole story either. See benchmarks.

Hi

It sounds like an app problem causing a memory leak. My Nexus 5X hasn't been rebooted in 15 days and shows 1.4GB free for apps under memory.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5X General] thenewcraze:
Agreed, Phil. Same thing here. Performance is solid.
[Nexus 5X General] lamine0uali:
N5X is all about compromises
[Nexus 5X General] ethanfel:
Yeah but since i own them both and i can test it myself. One is louder and a bit better : n5x but both are bad for Music.

The nexus 5x do an okay job for videocall or phone call on speaker. My n5 was never loud enough.
[Nexus 5X General] Sinergie:
Apples and oranges.

Apparently our experiences with both differ.
[Nexus 5X General] bsbharath1987:
I believe Google hasn't yet optimised for the SD 808. The moto X pure has a better performance and the extra 1 GB RAM with a qHD display shouldn't make that big a difference.
[Nexus 5X General] ethanfel:
The moto X pure is not encrypted.

Could you repost here that photo? Of course with author's permission.
[Nexus 5X General] ekerazha:
They say that you can definitely feel the difference when you swipe your finger on the smudges, the material worn out after a couple of days' usage. It's more visible on the black version, but it also happens on the white version.

[Nexus 5X General] TTerc:
So I guess there's no point of upgrading N5 to N5X

if battery, screen, audio quality are similar, forced encryption causes lags, and there's still 2gb of ram.

Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 330 still rocks, I'm fine with N5 camera, and fingerprints sensor isn't worth upgrading imo.

The only alternative is 6P but it's just too big. So if Google is still gonna support N5, I'm gonna stay with it. It's still one of the fastest phones

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

Yeah it honestly just depends on what you want. I need a mobile camera so the fact that this one is actually good is its own reason. If you change the rom then you don't have to worry about lag and mine definitely flies but that's what I like to do with my phones. I love the fingerprint scanner and that was a selling point and USB c was a welcomed addition. So it's just preference really. 4+ hours screen on time is plenty but the battery hasn't been as amazing as my nexus 6 was just due to size. I love this phone though and it was a hands down for me coming from the GS6.
[Nexus 5X General] jensvoss1:
Had the marks of the fingers on my first one specially from my index finger. After 3 days my second one is still clean. But I fear it comes back. But because my display is now good I think I try to life with it.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Here's what it looks like now, three weeks in. Looks bad enough already I have experimented with cases, but they made the phone too big.
[Nexus 5X General] ethanfel:
Battery is better, a lot better, it's night and day, Screen is bigger and stock DPI better (420), i didnt see much lag, less than the nexus 5 who does lag on heavy duty webpage or when you are updating a lot of apps. Even if you don't care about photo (n5x quality is one of the best whereas n5 is one of the worst) and Imprint (very pratical and natural after a while you realise how awkward classic unlock is in reality), you also miss fast charging (not the QC closed tech, USB-C Open standard fast charging), ambiant display and what's make a nexus a nexus, the next android major Update.

I like the nexus 5, it's one of the best Android phone ever, bust it's a 2013 phone and that's already quite old regarding smartphone technology.
[Nexus 5X General] GrimStranger:
I have had mine for almost 2 weeks. Absolutely love it.

Came from a Nexus 5 (and all of the Nexus devices before it except the N6, outrageous size) and this is definitely a worthy upgrade. Better battery life thanks to Doze, better camera, better screen, really solid build quality (better than N5), snappy performance (N5 still runs smoothly with Marshmallow btw), amazing Imprint. Don't really care about speakers on a phone but it's a lot louder on 5X.

I did run into a laggy situation once for some reason but it has not happened again.

The speed of starting up the camera, especially via double tapping of power button, could be improved but it hasn't bothered me that much.

I was concerned about the size being too big and I do feel awkward when reaching my thumb to the upper right corner (left hand operation). But it hasn't caused me to drop the phone so I'm not complaining.

I do LOVE the fact that with this bigger screen and higher DPI, the home screen is now a 5x5 affair. When I boot up the N5, I find myself wishing the screen was bigger and had the 5x5 arrangement. So the increased size ended up being a net plus for me.

Would have loved to have the volume rocker on the other side though.

Lastly, I have to say that Android really has come a long way. I find myself okay with not having the 5X rooted. Didn't go all the way, only had the bootloader unlocked so that I don't have to have data wiped if I change my mind.
[Nexus 5X General] Rado_vr6:
Felt the same way about my Nexus 5. I loved it, still do, but the N5X is definitely a worthwhile upgrade. I did end up going with the 6P just for the extra screen real estate after having my 5X for a few week. It made viewing work documents a little easier.

Did I understand you correctly that Ice Blue isn't prone to permanent smudges?
[Nexus 5X General] jbdan:
Not my ice, it's got the marks/smudges, but they're hard to see unless in the right light and angle to it.
[Nexus 5X General] adichandra:
im hugely disappointed too.

pro:

1. battery life seems much better than the old nexus 5. it's 2h 20m sot with still 46% battery.

2. screen is much higher quality than nexus 5.

3. camera is great! the first nexus camera that i can approve being great.

cons:

1. size, even though it's only a marginal wider than the nexus 5, it's freaking annoying for one hand use.

2. device seems longer and bigger and thats what she said to me.

3. size

4. size

5 freaking size! why you google bastard need to make the nexus 5's successor bigger. the 5" is the maximum for compact phone for me.

6. size again.

7. audio is not that good, seems quiet.

8. SIZEEEEE!!!!

9. using the device while it's being plugged on with the original charger makes the screen unresponsive especially when typing. but when using microusb to type c connector with other charger its fine.

10. when you charge while you use the device (even no gaming), it charges slower than the one legged dog. really slow that i can't barely see it going up. flat line for the whole 15 minutes at 35%. damn boy.
[Nexus 5X General] jensvoss1:
Don't have problems using the phone when plugged in. Even when typing. Doesn't get warmer than micro USB devices in the house. Maybe their are problems with the charger or cable.

Exactly that.

I'm in desperate need of a new phone though since my current Nexus 5's battery doesn't last more than 12 hours with 2 hours SoT (I doubt getting a new battery will make much difference). What I want is a 5" phone with high-end specs and stock Android. Hopefully Google and other manufacturers come to their senses next year and will not only make high-end phablets with the 820 SoC.
[Nexus 5X General] hondarider525:
This phone isn't a phablet lol
[Nexus 5X General] Sinergie:
Nobody said it is (and otherwise you're reading my post wrong).
[Nexus 5X General] adichandra:
He wants a more compact phone with the same flagship processor. He wished google put snapdragon 810 in 5x and make it smaller like the nexus 5. Just like how apple manage to make 2 different sizez of phone with the same specs. So people who prefer the smaller one can get the latest processor too. Just like what sony does with z5 compact and regular z5.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Ditto. Hoping Google sees that there's a demand for a "5P" next year.
[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
I was comparing the screen yesterday to my G2 in CPW on Oxford St. The brightness was a touch better on the G2 and the 5x was a little yellow. What really struck me was the poor contrast on the 5x. :eek: The text under the apps in the Google Launcher was so much clearer on the G2. I turned off auto brightness on both devices and had the brightness at max.

The price of the 5X is going to have to come down significantly for me to leave the G2 for it. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
You really just came on to the forum to announce you're leaving the forum? lol. Just teasing you. But as for price how much is the G2 not subsidized? Bet it's over 6 bills. So for about half the price you can get an Nexus 5X, unlock it, root it and never worry about a brick unless you totally screw something up. Besides that you can possibly get Google Fi which will save you tons over the course of your contract 2 year period if you have decent wifi anywhere you work and play. So for the brightness "a touch better" this is your analysis?

Ok then, fair enough. Here's mine. The phone is perfectly fine for the price, looks clear and sharp, quick enough for most tasks, no lag at all (contrary to the Nexus deniers) great fingerprint reader, and I do mean great, battery enough to last a full day with room to spare, and a very comfortable feel with just the right size for pocket, bike saddle bag, one handed use. I would have liked one more inch, (don't say it) and a slightly larger battery but those are not deal breakers by any means. If anyone is thinking of getting one of these you can't go wrong. Order from Google, get $50 off and free overnight shipping, and a return policy beyond belief if you hate it.

I had the N6P for about a week before I returned it all postage paid and full refund. It was just too big for my use, didn't fit well in my shorts pocket at the gym, had to hold onto it for dear life since it's very slippery, thin and expensive, but it was pretty. Battery was what I would have liked on the 5x.

But compared to the N5 the 5X is head and shoulders. I still have the n5 here on wifi and still use it. I use color control mods to make the screen blue since it's even yellower than the slightly warm hue on the 5x. Anyway, just my take on a "disappointed" thread of which there are just too many to be valid if being seriously objective. Most Nexus users who have had them before and who post here regularly are of the same ilk. Some are not, obviously, and they simple return the device without trashing the brand or needing to make a statement of displeasure. These are all personal choices and as my great grandfather used to say, " If you don't have anything nice to say..."
[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
I was just surprised that a 2013 phone had a better display than the 2015. :eek: Maybe the demonstrator 5x was faulty?

As for pricing, my G2 only cost £150 and can be picked up today for around £100. The 5x is still £329.

As I loved my Nexus 5 before the power button started to play up, I really want to love the 5x. When you put the phones side by side and one has a worse screen and is over twice the cost, your gut cant justify the money for the, "upgrade."

I understand that I may be considered negative by some, but maybe someone else on here can verify if I was comparing my G2 to a defective 5x unit?
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
That's a big price difference and would certainly make me think about it too. Oh yeah, it was a demo model I forgot you were in a store. The battery on my N5 was shot after a year or so and I just couldn't justify another N5 without fingerprint reader or Fi. I do hope for a 5p next cycle. If you can't justify it then for sure don't get it. You'd be miserable and it's not worth it for that kind of money.
[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
Yes, totally agree on the 5P. I also don't like how Google is forcing the fingerprint reader as the only quick way to now unlock your device.

Getting back to the 5x, I just feel the price is too high for a device with only 2GB ram. The fingerprint reader, camera & battery are clearly improvements but only 2GB ram will surely be the bottleneck a few years down the line. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
A few years? I can't keep my phone for barely a year before I'm looking for another. But I agree too, this was just not high enough on the spec chart to be a must buy. I definitely like it but not if you're on a budget. As for unlock, I can unlock with a car BT, Mi Fit band, actually any BT device so I'm not sure how that is any different than the N5. The fingerprint reader is just something added not exclusive, no?
[Nexus 5X General] Keithn:
Fingerprint scanner isn't the only way. It is the same as everything else with the option of using your fingerprint too. I agree with more ram being better but 2GB has been working just fine. I don't run many apps or heavy apps/games though and I can see how that would vary for some. I do that stuff on my PC/laptop mostly.
[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
I've found the whole secure places to be very hit and miss on my Nexus 9. There is also weird things like the tablet being unlocked and then insisting it cant carry out an, "OK Google," command as it thinks its still locked. :eek:

In the good ol' day of KK on my G2, I still use face unlock as it has the preview window so I can line up the camera to my face. I also disable the lock screen using power toggles when at home. Both of these things don't work in M. :crying: Hence the only real solution that works every time looks to be the fingerprint reader which means, 5X, 6P or V10.
[Nexus 5X General] Keithn:
Using location has never been reliable for me either. I did notice the change for the face unlock, they made it more subtle and I can definitely see how it would make lining it up more difficult. I didn't use it a majority of the time so it didn't impact me that much. I don't recall a lock toggle on stock 4.4 but I didn't use it very long and never used a G2. It is possible to disable the lockscreen on 6.0 I have a dash app that does it so I don't need to go through the lock screen when turning the screen on. I have never tried to manually set it, but maybe you could with tasker or something. I like the fingerprint, more reliable and faster than any of the previous methods for me, I don't need to worry about lighting, or gps locking , etc.
[Nexus 5X General] Tomyk89:
Not sure if you have returned the phone as I don't really want to read 27+ pages, but one thing you may want to try is the ElementalX kernel and soniCron's custom settings for it. I too was a bit unhappy with my 5X performance. Once I unlocked it and flashed this new kernel and applied settings, the phone has been a completely different animal. Very snappy, virtually no more lag, SOT has doubled per charge. Just may be something you'd want to try before returning it if it isn't too late. Check my signature for links for these items.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Trusted places is pretty flawless now, although I don't use it any longer with the fingerprint reader. You should give it another try. But why not just take off security entirely if you don't want to mess with it? Some kernels even have dt2w. What am I missing? My BT band is kind of scary because it has a pretty good range and the phone will unlock from a distance. If you are using Android Pay you will need some kind of lock screen security when using it. Otherwise just turn it off.
