Flickering is the right word.

Exactly, thanks!

I have the screen flicker as well. Clearly this phone is in need of some major updating...

Like I said in another thread some time ago. Windows, games,... everything has bugs at start, but with time most of them get solved

It shouldn't be any hardware bugs at the start when buying a expensive phone like this.

I have this on my phone too, just took it out of the box...dang this post, I was looking for it from the start.
Are people waiting on this in hopes it's a software/refresh glitch, or exchanging their phone?
I don't have a T-mobile store here in town, just a stand at the mall How do I convince them to stare at the screen long enough to notice it?

It could be a software bug too.

When people get their display replaced the problem is solved.

I think this is what im experiancing as well. If thats the case then I would assume its a software bug. Testing with auto off right now.

Light flow HELP ME

Why am I having so much trouble getting light flow to work? I just had it working fine on my galaxy Nexus so I definitely know how to set it up but no matter what I do it won't work.
Are there any special settings I need to turn on or off?

Make sure Light flow is checked in accessibility settings. So currently, having an "always on" notification for any one setting will mess with the other settings. Dev is working on a fix. other than that it should be working.
What exactly is happening on your end, you didn't give a lot of detail?

No prob. I emailed the dev, he says he is working on a fox, so it shouldn't be too long now.

Yeah for sure. The main reason I thought I was doing something wrong was because Droid life posted an article that gave me the impression the "always on" was working.

You should be starting to get the update now. I've done a workaround for always on as the LG drivers just don't accept it. I'd class the "always on " option for the Nexus 5 as being "almost always on"

Updated the app now, will see how it goes

I still seem to be getting notification light illuminated after the notification has been read.
Addmitedly I don't have it running as a foreground service.

Anyone know of a way to get rid of the lightflow notification in the pull down shade? I like to keep that area clean for notifications. I know other apps offer an option to disable that notification.

Uncheck the option that is "Run as foreground service" or similar.

Random Reboots and battery drops

What's the best way to diagnose something like this? It happens randomly and I'm not sure what's causing it. I'm stock rooted.

Your wakelocks or horrible. You need BBS as stated, but the instant drop is indicative of a bug in the stock rom or kernel. If it keeps doing that after the wakelock issues are resolved, you may need to flash another rom.

Does this pretty much mean Google search is messing me up?

I think Google search incorporates Google Now which yes, mega battery drain in my opinion especially if it is polling for location constantly.
edit: that looks like my battery stats when I don't try to conserve energy and have heavy usage.

So how do I fix this? Turn off location would somewhat render Google Now to be useless, as does turning it off.

If you're getting reboots, grab /proc/last_kmsg the next time it's on. The last few lines should give you some hints as to why it rebooted.

Kk thanks a lot guys, I think the battery issue overall might have been Google search so now I'm going to try to fix it. If my phone reboots again I'll check the file to see the logs.

Nexus 5 lagging

Going through some threads it seems most dont experience any lag so im wondering what the problem could be in my case i sometimes notice slight lags when opening/closing app drawer, switching to quick settings, opening/closing apps (turned off animations so not really a problem now) and a few other instances is this normal? it got quite bad so i unrooted it and locked bootloader then unlocked and re-rooted and at the moment i am on stock rom, stock launcher and faux123 stable mainline 11 kernel

Glad I'm not the only one. Do the apps include any of the following: Timely, YouTube?

yes youtube does lag a little infact quite a few apps do although i just assumed this was more to do with the apps than the phone itself?

hopefully it is something that an android update will fix soon as its not just apps for me its everywhere but not all the time, i was wondering if its the custom kernel im using? Hopefully it isn't as i cant change the gamma values in stock kernel so that is the main reason for me flashing a custom one

Doubt it's your kernel. I'm running stock and suffering as well :/ It could also be a defect, some run fine others don't. Same with the same speaker issue, some newer owners especially the red ones claim it sounds better as the old ones.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Try switching to ART runtime, it seems to be much smoother. Im using Franco's kernel with a lot of downgrading in setup and yet I don't experience lags.

I did think about switching to ART but to be honest i dont want to lose anything in terms of stability but hopefully soon it will become part of an update so if lag is normal on dalvik now i dont mind waiting i just wanted to see if its normal or im doing something wrong

I'm sure that the problem could be around some settings with faux kernel. I use it too but recommended settings foe nexus 5 seem to cause some lag for everyone as it's more for saving battery life...
You might nee to play with some settings there Like governor and Hotplug.

I have already turned off animations for transition animation scales but when i turned off the rest it looked weird so turned them back on, i didn't understand 'Sorry cut the last 2out the 3 to 0ff and speed first'

Another thing i forgot to mention is when i unrooted/went back to stock i let the apps auto update and straight after i noticed there was lag when opening app drawer so i uninstalled all the updates and it fixed itself has anyone else had this happen? I have had to set the apps to never auto update now

Installing updates from Play doesn`t make the phone laggy unless there is a problem with an app or some apps. Rebooting after installing updates clears most problems most of the time.

Install BetterBatteryStatts for unusual app behaviour which is most likely the reason of your phone lagging.

Problem "screen pixel"

Hi everybody,
I've Nexus 5 with original rom Android Lollipop 5.01
I've a strange problem and I'd like to know if it is a software or hardware problem.
Sometimes, and only with Facebook app, in a part of the screen appear few pixels and they disappeared when I close the app or I move between tab.
Enclosed an example, I reproduce it in photoshop.
Any idea?
Thank you very much.
Ciao!

Not really sure if it only happens in Facebook then.
I'd say ignore it a bit for now, but if it happens more and in other apps then replace it.

Don't think so, no. Unless you know which exact colors in which exact pixels are causing the issue, which is pretty impossible.

This is a bug in Lollipop and has nothing to do with a hardware defect. I get this in several other apps as well. A fix from Google is already on the way and will be released with a next update of Android.
