Hi guys, so I recently bought a nexus 5 I just got it like 5 days ago. My problem is that I have some lag problems. My phone lags when I play games like Dead trigger 2. I also have this game called Kritika, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's from Gamevil, and it lags pretty bad. So why is this? It's a Nexus 5, I shouldn't have problems with the Snapdragon 800 processor. I also seem to have a little stutter in fruit ninja. Is it just me or do I have a defective device. Or is there nothing wrong with it? Can someone please tell me whether I should send it back or not? Thank you.
Is it on stock? If no reflash stock then factory reset the device. Then load nothing else but the game. If it lags it hardware.

It's probably overheating

Most likely or at least hitting the throttle temp limit.

Yup, and it'll cut back to 1100 mhz then i believe it'll step down again to around 6-700 if it's not getting cooler

Yup, or perhaps (I'm unsure) the 5 throttles earlier than the 4?

i have dead trigger 2, theres no lag. then again, i use a custom kernel for performance, and i disable thermal throttle.
Must be why then, did it lag before your custom kernel?

I would bet on thermal throttling like everyone else is saying. I noticed that although my Nexus 4 got absurdly hot with a raised thermal throttle, games ran better. That phone was a launch device and is used by my dad every day now without any lasting effects. I've done the same with my Nexus 5 with similar effect, although it doesn't seem to get as hot as my old phone. I would say that it's safe to do, and should get rid of the lag

Does your phone heat up while its lagging? If so, it would be because of thermal throttling like the other have mentioned (reducing CPU frequency so the phone can cool down)
You can flash a custom kernel and either remove thermal throttling or increase the amount of temperature of thermal throttling (so it will reduce CPU only at higher temperatures).

Yeah it does heat up while it's lagging, but the problem is that it doesn't take time to lag, it just starts lagging when I start the game up, not over time, so I was wondering if it was a hardware problem.

You know what guys I suspect it's just those two apps that lag, cuz other games run just fine

No and the phone does not get nearly as hot on wifi. Really odd. Also the phone was overcloaked before but I pushed it back to just 1ghz. My phone burning me for using the browder out is not cool though. Think there is an issue?

Well there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the device since you said you put it back to 1 ghz. Really odd if you ask me. Maybe its a battery problem? Sometimes defective batteries cause overheating and can explode.

I'd recommend you flash and reinstall the ROM on your phone. Sounds to me like you've still go some of the old performance updates kicking in making the device hotter!
For me your temperatures are pretty normal. When I am not gamimg my max was 91F!!
Sent from my CM7 #N12 Nexus S using XDA App
Since you claim to have been able to move around the CPU frequency, I assume you are running setCPU. In setCPU you can look at Info tab where under the battery header it also displays the battery tempt. It's normal for the phone to heat while you are charging, on call for long or gaming for long duration but if you are seeing absurdly high reading for the battery tempt, then you better have it checked.
Hmm I had a overheating issue last night, woke up to my phone making a loud noise - I had set setCPU to make a noise when it goes over 40C and it did this today in the early hours of the morning whilst it was charging.
No processes were running other than the normal Live Wallpaper, Keyboard etc.. The phone was quite hot to the touch as well, so I just turned it off.
Weird thing is I have another profile in setCPU to have the max freq at 800Mhz and lowest 100Mhz when the screen is off so don't know how it got so hot?

I would say yes, who knows what your screen brightness was at even though I am sure it was probably at auto. Talking on the phone can drain a lot of battery.
Why note 3 to nexus 5, seems odd?
Well you did talk on the phone for a while. But Google Search is draining the battery more than it should. I would just reboot and do another full charge. Google Search was draining my Nexus 7 the other day and the reboot/recharge seemed to have fixed it. For now anyway. Android OS/Google Search seems to be a recurring bug. Unless of course you were using google now a lot, in which case it would probably be normal.

I always loved the nexus 4 and when I used the neuxs 5 in person I fell in love with the design and how smooth it was. But the battery is starting to worry me. I'm on cataclysm rom with Franco kernel r22. I have WiFi on with the phone using 3g only. I barely use Google search. The phone calls werent that long either. I just feel like the battery is being drained way to fast for no reason. I keep most apps closed after I'm done using then. I had greenify on and I have the kernel set to 1.7ghz. I just don't know what to do with anymore.

What I don't get is that 4.4 was supposed to drastically improve RAM usage, yet my Moto X which is still on 4.2.2 consistently has more free RAM available at any given time. Even if I do an end all in system panel, my X has 200mb more free RAM than the N5. It's not really a problem (I don't get redraws on my N5 but I do get tons of them on my N7), but I just don't understand it considering 4.4 was supposed to reduce the operating system's memory footprint.

Android 4.4 does what its doing, on lower end devices or people who make roms can call ActivityManager.isLowRamDevice() to activate kitkats ram saving feature ensuring it will not exceed that 512MB hard limit because the Nexus 5 is a flag ship device like the moto x it does not need to call the lowramdevice API google has added in Android 4.4 kitkat so thats why sometimes the ram usage is high.
There is another simple way to check your ram go to developer options then process stats if it says its normal then its normal don't worry about a thing.
The beauty of android is that it will optimize its memory itself you do not need to tap that multitask button and swype all those cards away as it manages its own memory for example
As in this game vector the OS realizes that it needs more ram... Fine android optimized the memory and suspended some apps if you look at the graph you see the dip slightly rose indicating more ram that can be used
1GB used is norml for me, too: Stock + Rooted
You can use apps like Android Tuner to view which apps are consuming what amount of RAM exactly.
Attached is a screenshot of my Nexus 5 after closing all apps in the Android task switcher.

Process stats in developer options will show it too, and it will only display the ones that you can force close
I was asking about that too. So after all of this, why my previous nexus 4 with same apps was running nice and smooth with more free ram than nexus5? they have the same amount of ram, same cpu manufacturer (yeah different models but.. )... so what about it?

Yes, but no one has been able to access it....like for double tap to wake that a lot of kernels have now. So dt2w and "always listening" are running off normal cores and keeping the phone awake....and costing pretty big battery loss.
The N5 has a pedometer on that core, where the X has active display and I believe always listening. No one has gained access to the low voltage core on either device. Its probably not doable without major code changes.

I have the Nexus 5 and I have problem of overheating.
I used a lot of roms (SlimKat, Official 4.4.4 with ART & Dalvik, Android L, etc.) and a lot of kernels (franco, x elemental, etc)
None of kernels nor roms fixed the overheating problem
I used CPU-Z to see the temp of my phone. It was 44C. I used the phone only for internet (10mins).

Then it is not 44 degrees
44C is still cold, your body temp is 37C. and if your phone overheats, it will shut down. the overheat temp is 105C. anything lower than that isnt overheating. and feel doest tell you what temp it actually has, all its doing is comparing temps to your hand.
If you're really concerned, you can experiment with undervolting your CPU/GPU and underclocking the CPU/GPU. I don't own a Nexus 5, but I'm sure there is no need to do any of the above.

undervolting will lower cpu temps a little, but its not a huge difference.
Correct, but with the way he worded his concern, it seems as if he would be willing to take any step possible to prevent the device from "burning" his hand
