Choppy video playback and unresponsive keyboard

Hi guys hope you're all well and enjoying your Nexus 5's.

I've had my N5 from the release date and I do love it. But the two things I keep noticing are the following.

Choppy video playback - I notice this 80% of the time. YouTube videos on WiFi and 3G are choppy, every two or three seconds it stutters once (audio is fine). I have a couple of full HD video samples and these are similarly choppy when playing back in the default video player and other video playing apps. Playing back my own recorded videos are the only ones that are mostly perfect throughout but I still see it sometimes. Even on Google Maps when I search for something across the world, you know how it pans out and scans quickly over the earth to your result, I even notice a stutter in that!

Keyboard unresponsive - occasionally the keyboard becomes unresponsive. I am a very accurate and fast two-thumb typer and often notice keypresses have been missed when I know 100% I hit them, and the keyboard generally feels laggy. This is evident with stock keyboard and SwiftKey. A power off and restart cures the problem.

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced any of the above?

I don't load my phone with tonnes of apps and games, I'm generally consider myself to be a light user.

Thanks for any input.
 
I would say that YouTube does seem to stutter a little from what I've seen.

Keyboard is fine though. Try switching vibration feedback off that sometimes helps.
 
You Tube music videos plays fine on my N5. Its smooth without stutters or lag.
Try rebooting your router.
I think its your wireless speed issue.
Or you can try another WiFi network.
 
I took several video's yesterday and most are choppy on playback.I can't remember if they were all on camera zoom fx,the stock camera or a mixture of both though.
