nexus 5x

I've been working on the Nexus 5x device (Android version: 6.0.1 and above, Kernel version: Linux/arm64 3.10.73) and was trying to get SystemTap running on it (to monitor kernel traces). For this we need to enable some kernel options in the .config file of the kernel source before the build...

It is now January 7th 2017 and my Nexus 5X has the November 5, 2016 security patch. My understanding is that there is a December security patch however my phone seems to be missing it. Any ideas why that is the case? Here is what my "About phone" screen looks like.

I'm sure most of you have heard about the new 7.1.1 update bricking some 5x devices. A few weeks ago I went ahead and opted into the 7.1.1 beta to see how it operated. Overall experience was good but it definitely had weird quirks like blank texts and Play Store force closes among other apps. I...

I used to order cables from Monoprice (and I've never had a problem) but I've recently become aware of how crucial it is to be careful with usb type C cables. I do really like the fast charging with the cable that came with my 5x. What fast charging cables/adapters are safe to use? Thanks!

I got my 5X new in July and have had nothing but problems with the battery. It's to the point now where it's ridiculous. I have literally tried everything: app using up too much battery check, cleared cache, battery saver mode, doze on the go (total joke), factory reset and just yesterday I...

Hello, I have a Nexus 5X and am running stock Android. I use a Nest Protect and would like to receive smoke and carbon monoxide alerts even when my phone is in Do Not Disturb mode at night. I don't see this option in the DND settings, but have seen something on other Android phones that allow...

Hi, I deleted cache and data from the "media storage" app in order to see all the pictiues on my phone when I connect it to my PC. It worked fine and instead of 700 pictures I can now see all 2300. However - after doing this, now suddenly there's a weird ringtone playing every time I have an...

Hi guys, I recently bought the nexus 5x. During setup I tried transferring information from my old sony z3 compact, but it always reported "sorry something went wrong". I later went on to manually set up everything and so far the device is working ok. Is this setup error something to worry...

hi and thanks, i just received a new google nexus 5x smartphone. the number supplied to me was from an area code close, but not mine and apparently, a number someone else had used. when i called friends, the caller id on their phones showed an unfamiliar number and they did not answer. how can i...

For the past few days I have noticed that during calls people can't hear me. I tried it myself calling to my voicemail and indeed, if I listen very closely I can hear myself... but barely. Turning on speakerphone seems to resolve that issue. Other apps using the microphone (ok google, video...

Just got it tonight! No real problems yet. Got a restart option on the Power Menu!

Hello, I have a WiFi-AC compatible computer and I mostly use my phone as Hotspot, in fact most of my 10GB/month are used that way. And I don't use it that much a part for calling while working, I'm not interested at all in photos, movies, games and whatever non professional use of the phone. I...

Hello, I am Bose from Bangalore, India. Last week when I was in US, I bought LG NEXUS 5X LG-H791 32 GB Factory Unlocked EU Smartphone from Amazon. I was informed that this phone will work in India. In the box no Operating Instructions/Set up guide was found ? Does this phone accept mini SIM...

Hi guys, the autofocus on my camera no longer works. It happened around the time when I loaned the phone to my father in law to use as a flashlight in the garage, but unfortunately he could not figure out how to turn it off, so the flashlight was left on for over an hour. The auto-focus has...

Is it possible to display the clock when the phone sleeps and goes into standby? I can only see the clock if I press the power button to pull it out of stanby. 5x running Nougat, screen saver is On and set to Clock

Does anyone use a 3rd party gallery app? I really don't like Photos. Can anyone recommend an alternative? Ideally something that is only a gallery. . I don't need/want features like cloud backup or making a slide show. Something simple is best.

Just watch this video I recorded with my crappy ass camera. The audio explains everything.

So I'm looking for an app capable of playing music off music stored on a usb type c memory stick. The phone finds the files fine and I can use the stock file explorer to play a file, but I can't find any aids that can play the files. I've tried Blackplayer, PowerAmp, Pi Player, none can see the...

Nexus 5X running non-rooted 7.0 (Build #NRD90S) with Messenger as default app. When I reply to a text within the notification, the notification doesn't disappear and the text doesn't get marked as read within the app. Is this working as intended and is there a setting to change this? It would...

I just got a Nexus 5X and upgraded it to Nougat. I like it very much so far but I have a question. I just got the September security patch which is a good thing but it automatically downloaded over my cellular data plan and I didn't get any notification until it was ready to install. I've looked...

I have played around with the options in there and there are some good ones to make the phone more snappy and fast at times, but i am unsure of the best settings for this! Have anyone played around with this? What have you tried and what feels like it worked well?

My beloved Nexus 5 is no longer of this world, and I need to replace it. I expect that some of you would have had an n5 before you got a 5x - is it a worthwhile upgrade?

I am considering getting a 5x and was hoping those of you who have been using it for a while could tell me if some of the bugs people complained about early on have been resolved. Specifically I am interested in hearing about jank and slowness in the camera app and in general, poor headphone...

This has probably been asked already - so sorry for the repeat. I'd love to have separate email programs for my gmail and exchange on my 5x as I had with my samsung unit. I would use gmail for outlook if it could be a separate app on the screen - opening and clicking the right account is a pain...

I'm sure I'm missing something because I've done this on my Nexus 5. I uploaded a music album from my library at home to the /storage/emulated/0/sdcard/music folder on my device. However, no player apps see these files (tried Google Play Music and BlackPlayer). I've refreshed multiple times...
