I love my new nexus 5. The hardware is amazing. But it stops there. Kit Kat is complete junk. Keeps on crashing. Things like YouTube doesn't even work correctly. My signal keeps dropping. So many features missing. It just feels like Google rushed in making the latest version. Anyone else feel this way?

99% of the time all is good BUT you know this is a NEXUS device?! We are the beta testers. There will be issues.
nope.. nexus 5 plus kitkat make the killer android experience..
Everything works well to me, no problems, i think that it's definitely better than JB 4.3.
I come from a Gnex.
I've actually found that apps like Facebook and anything that requires scrolling really works much more smoothly on the Nexus 5. In terms of the OS, I must say I haven't really enountered any bugs myself, apart from Google Services using up 30% of my battery.. but I think I have fixed that now. I am really happy, and so is my 41 year old mother that has one too :silly:
I've had none of those problems.
I too have yet to find a bug. I admit that I do expect bugs, but not really found one yet,.
everything very nice here thank you
My only issue with Kit Kat and the Nexus 5 has been with Location Reporting - other than that Kit Kat feels slick and polished. Haven't experienced anything you of the issues you complained about.
Overall it's been great. Very fast and smooth.
YouTube and Google Now are the only things giving me problems so far. Google Now is worse on KitKat for me.
No issues so far
I've no problems so far. It has captured bug reports at times, but for what I never checked. Feels like an upgrade to jelly bean for me.

Try doing a force media scan. I bet the process will crash...
Try changing radio bands via *#*#4636*#*# under phone information menu. i bet i will crash...
try selecting an mp3 as alarm ring-tone.. using the app best alarm you cant were as before with jelly bean you could...
try watching netflix without earbuds... you can barely hear it..!
the phone over heats when using wireless charging pads.
exchange processes crash all the time
spontaneous reboots galore
speakerphone sound just sucks
colors are washed out...
if its true that this is a phone for beta testers, the Google shouldn't market it for the main stream buyers like me. i just want a nice phone (hardware wise this phone is) that works...
returning the Nexus 5 today and going back to Samsung even if it costs double the money. My galaxy s2 lasted me around 3 years and cant complain about it...

Try changing radio bands via *#*#4636*#*# under phone information menu. i bet i will crash... - That's been broken since 4.1 IIRC
try selecting an mp3 as alarm ring-tone.. using the app best alarm you cant were as before with jelly bean you could... - Using Sleep as Android I can select an mp3 just fine. Seems that app hasn't been optimized for 4.4. That isn't the phones fault.
try watching netflix without earbuds... you can barely hear it..! - No issues here
the phone over heats when using wireless charging pads. - Never used one
exchange processes crash all the time - I've had no crashes
spontaneous reboots galore - Never even had one random reboot.
speakerphone sound just sucks - Speaker is perfectly fine on my end. Coming from an S3, it's a huge step up
colors are washed out... - No, they're not. They're a more accurate reproduction than AMOLED panels or other oversaturated displays.

Responses in bold. Maybe you should re flash the stock image and see if that fixes any of your problems. I have literally had NONE of the problems you mentioned. And this screen destroys the S3s in every single way.

That happens when you push vol up + vol down + power at the same time. There are a lot of issues with cases making this happen. Still trying to find a way to disable it.
ive had force closes. but whatever. it's a very nice phone.
No issue for now whit stock rom, very few FC with custom rom, fine by me
Not at all. Polar opposite. It's the most polished android os yet imo
NX5
Well, my issues are:
a) Screen wakes for no apparent reason from time to time. Cannot pinpoint a trigger.
b) Google Services using plenty of battery, as well as just last night, on airplane mode, 11% 'Device Idle' usgae in 7 hours.
c) Sound on video recordings is EFFED.
Other than these, overall I am happy. I am confident updates will fix these.

not for beta testers per se... but nexus started as development phones and kinda a guide for manufacturers. samsung never followed that guide which has made the development communities rather frustrated, but why should they, samsung make cpu's that do more per clock cycle than the competition, unless you buy a usa phone where they just use the same processors as the competition.
samsung makes fantastic hardware. if i had an i9100 with nfc i'd be using it today with it's low res screen and all. perfect phone. not too big, and basically defined all phones after it, from nfc, to usb OTG, to mhl. it was a great phone then they went all crazy with the rom on the s3 and s4.
even the samsung nexus phones weren't quite what their own line were.
the nexus brand is a bare feature set that manufacturers can work from. and lg makes a pretty piss poor build quality (opinion, some say the same about samsung, those people are wrong of coarse ), but i like the feature set without it getting gimmicky (but s-beam is cool, makes more sense to use wifi with nfc being more of a trigger, android beam seems like they missed out on something pretty obvious.) it's not a bad phone but not a ground breaking device either. the screen does wash out with viewing angle more than some other lcd type screens but for $350 did you expect pixel density as well as a high qulity panel? and maybe you are used to amoled, i am, but i think the nexus screen looks as it should. the phone is delicate, the camera firmware needs work.. these are all true things. but some of what you describe is probably cause for an RMA. the speaker, that's a build defect. not all of them are like that and mine is as loud as any phone i ever owned (louder actually but i never had a "one") so there are 2 things you can cross out because they may take it under warranty. my phone doesn't over heat on my samsung Qi charger, it work perfectly, there is slight heating but that is expected for putting an inductive coil on osmetihng that contains metal parts... no overheating on mine, just comfortable warmth.... are you using a cheap charger? there is a communication standard that is part of QI and the phone regulates the transmitter output with feedback, it's possible that some of the cheap chargers aren't following the Qi standards. as far as the alarm app not working, well it's a new os, interfaces change, things break, deal with it untill the market place catches up. that's like upgrading windows and the printer stops working... if the phone reboots it may be a hardware defect, you should RMA the phone or i'm sure someone will buy it from you.
After nearly 2 years I have had enough and will change.
The whole time I had the watch with Huawei P9 > Nokia 8 > Honor View 10 > P30 Pro there have been issues with the bluetooth constantly disconnecting and removing from trusted device unlock.
To happen with all these phones is clearly something wrong with how it connects to Android / bluetooth stack.
I love the watch so put up with constantly going into Wear app and "reconnecting" but now the battery is draining at an insane amount.
At the start I could manage 2 days without charge, now I am charging it before sleep and waking up with 23% left.
you know i guess there might be something wrong with your device because my hw2 always stays connected to my phone and in the past year I have only noticed one or two times of disconnection, and i wear it at least 8 hrs a day.
It most be your watch
I agree with Kianush, must a problem with your watch. I have a Huawei Watch 2 Classic and I've never had those issues. I do charge before going to sleep, but even doing sleep monitoring in the morning I have usually 75% and it lasts thru the day.
As I say battery was very good until recently so maybe it is on it's way out.
The bluetooth has always had disconnection issues for me at random points in the day.
Also seems it can't handle other BT devices connecting to the phone - i.e. earphones or car head unit will make it disconnect and then it will not reconnect and I need to go into Wear app on phone and reconnect which of course means Smart Lock needs to be added again.

I had always the problem of it disconnecting randomly as well (and I changed a bunch of phones in the meanwhile as well). But, after all, it is still good looking
I bought a fossil gen 5 the other week and I sent it back... It was slightly faster (I recently installed on the HW2 the janjan ROM+KERNEL) but, I couldn't stand how it was looking with a part of the screen that actually was bazel (at least the HW2 fake a big crown ) So, waiting for next-gen or I'll buy a Ticwatch pro LTE that has 1gb of ram as well (processor wise, won't change anything in term of speed) but it has a bigger full screen

Yes, I like the watch very much but the disconnection issue is just annoying, somedays it never disconnects and other days its every 10 minutes even under the same circumstances.
I decided to try Galaxy Active 2 for now, doesn't look like Huawei will make a HW3 with Wear anytime soon.

Galaxy Active 2 is nice and it has faster processor than the snapdragon400-2100-3100 My only concern is the fact that it doesn't run WearOS Let us know how will it work out with Tizen

Yes, I am also slightly nervous about Tizen but watched a Youtube video of Tizen vs Wear vs Android on several devices and it seems to be very similar in use + I found an app that synchronises data to Google Fit.
However I do use several Android apps on my HW2 such as Keep Notes and Fotmob, plus I like the media controls so I will need to fully test this with my P30 Pro before deciding to keep the Active 2.
So I have had the Galaxy Watch Active 2 for a week now and all I can saw is WOW.
This feels like huge upgrade from Huawei Watch 2 in nearly all areas.
The watch itself feels premium, feels more like a real watch on the arm.
The colours are bright and vivid, the speed the watch operates at puts Wear OS to shame, the speaker is great and so many more options with sound and notifications and pretty much everything.
My initial concern was about the lack of Wear OS store and while I do not have Outlook or Fotmob apps everything works., the main app I miss is Google Keep Notes.
I can control my music on my P30 Pro, I can respond to messages in Whatsapp or SMS with voice or type.
Ok it has Bixby instead of Google Assistant but I never used it and I can achieve some similar results such as "set alarm" etc.
It is the first time I tried a non Wear OS watch and I am pretty surprised by it and can't see how Wear can catch up, it is just too slow and dull in comparison.
Plus it has wireless charging and you can backup the watch ready for if you need to wipe or transfer to new phone.
I loved my HW2 for a long time but now GA2 is the new king (although nothing still has the UV sensor I had on my MS Band 2)
Does anyone have any other idea's about what to upgrade to? I'm not a fan of Tizan, but do we wait for the never appearing Pixel watch? Has anyone else updated since this thread started? If so, what to and how is it?
Apart from Fossil there were no real options hence my semi forced move to Samsung.
I like it and it performs much better but I miss some apps like Keep Notes.
And Bixby is useless.

What to enable or disable to make it less aggressive?
Bump
Hi,
I have the same problem and it is f*** annoying! I have the 8GB version of the OP7pro and I don't know why the phone always closes my apps after a certain amount of time. I have disabled all (as far as I know) battery optimization features and also disabled the RAM booster.
In parallel I still run a Galaxy Note 3 with a really old custom rom, which has started to act a bit buggy now, but this phone does not overwrite MY settings and kills apps I want to keep open.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this behavior? Or is the only way to flash a custom rom again? I don't know if it is related to Oxygen OS or Android 9.
Thanks

This is the problem with Chinese oems. Aggressive ram management, notification problems, not quite there cameras. Having the hardware is one thing. Software r & d is something else.
Can't remember exactly where I read it but...OnePlus is supposedly working on an update to "fix" the problem with aggressive killing of background apps as a result of all the complaints they receive concerning this issue. Something that can possibly help along with shutting off all battery/ram management is to lock your open apps to keep them open. While scrolling through your open apps you will see a three dot menu in the top right corner and one of the options is to "lock" the app which is supposed to lock it in memory/RAM. YMMV

Are we sure this isn't a Pie issue? I just came from a pixel 3xl and had the same issues in the beginning. Everyone blamed the 4gb RAM as the culprit. Google eventually updated a Fix but it wasn't 100% fixed. It was better but apps still closed to early. So maybe we're looking at an Android problem. Who knows

This is totally crap, I switched from my Note 3, which I still like very much (but only with AOSP based custom ROM) to OP because I don't like the way Samsung and Huawei gone to. I'm not rooted right now, so I can not tell what can be done with Magisk Modules or Xposed Modules (or other mods) on a Oxygen based ROM.
Can someone tell if this behavior can be stopped with mods or is the only way to switch to an AOSP based ROM again?
I wanted to give Oxygen OS a try but right now I'm not fully convinced with the current situation, even if OP is one of the fastest supplier for updates. I don't like it, when a manufacturer tells me what I can do with a device and what not. At least OP should give me the choice how strict the RAM management is and when I want to get apps closed.
Missing notifications is one other big point. Due to the fact that there is no notification LED and no AOD (STILL) I tried several third party apps to get a AOD, but the battery drain on this apps is heavy as f*** and they often do not work correctly, because the system prevents them to run correctly.
Does anyone know a good way to get a reliable way for notifications?
Thanks.

Not only that. 3rd party apps like notification buddy work but Google Assistant stops working once you install it. I don't know what GA has to do with notification lighting. It's supposed to be a phone first and foremost. OnePlus seems to have forgotten what it is they're making. Something as basic as missed notifications seems not terribly important to them.

I agree. Samsung and Huawei show that AOD can work without heavy battery drain, so why can't OP get this to work or can they but don't want it?
I will root the device and have a look what I can optimize.
What I cannot change (unfortunately I had no chance to hands on the device before I bought it) is the size and the weight. It is to big and way to heavy. Not only while taking a phone call, even if you just hold it in one hand and do some stuff, it gets heavy within a very short time.
Maybe this OP was my first and last one - I will see. But it seems that all devices get bigger and heavier with every iteration, which is totally insane.

It's definitely a pie thing as Android 10 had much better ram management even on pixel 2xl with 4gb ram. I suspect it will resolve most of our problems.

I have a problem with the weight as well, like my previous note 9. I got the s10+ after that, before being enticed by all the YouTube reviews of the 7pro at launch. I'm beginning to regret that decision. Dual speakers are no where near the s10+ and neither is video stabilisation. I'm on the beta 2 now, rooted and the experience is beginning to improve. Sure there are pros like the fast charging, display and the quick implementation of android 10. I can't justify the note 10 and all the year end releases with SD 865 round the corner so I guess I'll just have to put up with it.

Did you actually read what I wrote? The experience has improved on android 10.
i had the s10+ and i couldnt deal with the half bakes software. so oneplus was the natural choice for me.
sure the speakers arent the best but theyre plenty fine - its not like we use our speakers for hidef sound, wireless headphones or a jukebox can take care of the rest (i have these strategically placed around the house so its never an issue when i play music)
failing AOD, dt2w is just as good imo.

If you use Magisk, make sure to flash Ainur Sauron. That's an absolute game-changer for audio quality. I can't say the audio will quite compare to the Note 9 (I own it), but it should be fairly comparable to the S10+ (Have two in the family). The Note 9 has the advantage of actual front-facing speakers since it has bezel.
If you want to use Viper or JamesDSP, you'll need to also flash AML in Magisk which allows for multiple audio mods to be integrated. If you want a simple flash and away w/o further customization, then just flash Ainur Sauron.
Thank you. Good recommendation
So much stuff OnePlus broke for no reason at all.
(This 1st point is for all OnePlus devices on Android 10)
1. The screen calibration from Android 9 was perfect! OnePlus broke it in literally every OnePlus device and made it hella uncomfortable to my eyes just to use the same damn phone. Vivid and all are dull and Amoled Wide Gamut is too damn harsh.
(I gave so many feedbacks but thanks to OnePlus's arrogant behaviour towards its customers and not fixing it)
2. GCams which made me love my OnePlus 6 are not working properly.
SuperResZoom is broken.
Gcam, only one version works now and can't use the cloned GCams which worked flawlessly on OOS 9.0.9, now just stops the HDR+ processing at 75% and other versions don't work on OxygenOS 10 but works fine on Android 10 custom roms.
(broke it for no reason at all!)
3. Auto Brightness takes painfully 10seconds+ just to adjust. (broke it for no reason)
4. 2.4ghz Wifi Link speed is still capped to 65mbps- 72mbps. After rooting and flashing a Magisk module namely "WIFI BONDING" the link speed goes upto 300mbps.
This issue I've only faced in my OnePlus 6 and my other phones like Redmi K20 Pro, Poco F1, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 all have 150mbps-300mbps by default.
(Again gave so much feedback yet no response from OnePlus)
5. Front camera now doesn't allow to zoom at all. (broke it for no reason) (not a big one tho)
6. Also Much worse battery life and slower charging times.
OOS 9 - 0-100% takes 72-75minutes.
OOS 10 - 0-100% takes 90-95minutes
Battery life - approx 12% per hour on OOS 9
Battery life - approx 18-20% per hour on OOS 10
Other than that OnePlus 7T does not have their own OxygenOS Special Navigation Gestures. Like what? Why? The little things that made me a loyal buyer and fan of OnePlus, they are just removing that for no reason?
I made my friend buy a OnePlus 7 Pro even tho I knew the prices would fall like crazy but I still asked him to get it at 53k because I trusted OnePlus and I was a genuine fan of their work and I loved their software, the lovely OxygenOS and the OnePlus brand which listened to their consumer's problems and then gives fixes.
But now I'm done.
Guess I'll stick to Android 9 on this OnePlus 6 and will get a S11 or anything else but OnePlus.
OnePlus is losing all their loyal fans by this stupiduty just like they lost me. I did recommend earlier but now definitely a big NO.
Let's see if they fix these or not. If they dont then surely a goodbye to them.

Every single point is very very true!
Anyone having problem with screen cast. I think this one broken too. Cant connect to my LG TV using screen cast from QS and setting. But Youtube cast button works with no issue. Works perfectly before in android 9.
More reasons why i will stay on 9.0.9.....it just works!
They've already lost my trust, I've been with OnePlus since the op3, op6 now and this is my last one. I'm going with Xiaomi
This is why I am staying on 9.0.9 and have not attempted to once even try and upgrade to 10. I have 10 on my Pixel 2 XL, works FLAWLESSLY. OP has really dropped the ball here and if they continue on this path, I'll be looking for another phone in about a year when I want to upgrade that is made by someone else.

The only issue I have, that I know is, Google Photos app. It casts but stays at the splash screen. multiple chromecasts and built-in chromecast Toshiba TV.
Screen casts no issues here.
OB1-3 and stable 10.3.0
can I somehow disable the notification that a system update is available? I don't want to upgrade after reading this but the notification sticks and cannot be swiped away.

No. That is indeed intended because google is featuring it's on gesture control by now and wants users to not trigger gestures while using the keyboard.
There is a rudimentary fix, you can google for it. But it involves messing around with adb to change the dpi or some kind of thing like that.

Thx for the answer dude! Poss takes sometime to adapt it.
How about the left screen (widget page) that only the upper screen touch work sometimes? It is fix by rebooting the phone but can't do it everytime right?!

you can freeze that system app using titanium backup or similar. I do not recommend uninstalling it fully though.
I have termporary slow downs. It seems like there is a memory leak, either in android 10 or oxygen 10.3.0.
Anyone else has the same?
1. Wide Gamut - cool - looks good.
2. Arnova Gcam beta works perfectly.
3. Takes around 5 sec for me.
4. Agree
5. Shouldn't use digital zoom in the first place.
6. Never tested\cared.
7. Battery life does seem a bit worse, flashing custom kernel made it better.
My girlfriends S9+ is still on android 9, has issues with dark netflix videos, freezing in general occasionally, whatsapp broke once completely and had to reinstall a few times to make it work, took them over a year to fix the camera light glare, no working gcam.
Gcam looks same and sometimes better than S9+.
Non-English character are not displaying properly.
Basically Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tamil and etc are not displaying properly. Anyone got a fix?

Which method did you use? I don't care about losing data. Just want to keep unlocked bootloader and root the easy way, via TWRP if possible. I basked up my 9.0.9 system before going to 10.3.

1. Try out Wide Gamut and have a look at Reds. They burn your eyes, too damn saturated.
2. 1 Gcam works fine but if I want to access the Aux camera or MJL and Xtreme's both we can't.
3. Used to be 2secs in OOS9
5. Still having a option and then removing makes no sense.
7. There shouldn't be a need to flash a custom kernel when it was pretty damn goood on stock one.
So I've bought a new oneplus 6 like three months ago.After using it for some time I've noticed that it has some issues indicate that it was refurbished, not new.
First thing that should have raised my suspicion is that it came with Android 10 pre-installed. When I've bought my old Oneplus 6 it was with Oreo.
As for the issues, the battery sucks hard. I still have my old one which has battery replaced about a year ago and it last like 50%longer than the "new" one.Both phones are almost mirror images, most of the apps that are installed on both are the same.The old one does not have a sim card and apps that are bound to phone number like whatsapp or Telegram.But could this cause such a huge discrepancy of battery life? When I used the old one with sim and whatsapp, telegram etc it lasted longer.
Then alert slider. I almost never use it, but I have been at doctor's office recently and I used it to mute sounds. After I left it was broke. There's no "feedback" feeling when changing between silent vibrate at sounds, and it does nothing at all. It feels like loose slider that goes up and down, but there are no "thresholds" or "steps" feeling as I have in my old phone. I'm stuck in no sound no vibrate mode, although I found a way to overwrite it so I only have the icon.
The buttons seem clunky as well, they don't respond easily.
Is there a way to tell if it waa refurbished?
Actually, you already answered yourself.
Run Aida64 on both, make reports and compare. Maybe you'll notice something significantly different.
