Help Nexus 5 Issues - Should I Get A Replacement?

Having some issues with my Nexus 5. Wondering if I should get a replacement?

1. Wifi doesn't stay connected really well. My wife's S4 had perfect signal right next to my phone. She was getting 9+ Mbps and I was getting under 0.5 Mbps.

2. She also had good 4G service right next to me when I was in extended network.

3. My alarm icon on my notification bar keeps vanishing.

4. Videos are a bit static-y.

Anyone have any input? Thanks!
 
The alarm icon comes and goes from my notification bar. I don't know why though, and my alarm always goes, so i haven't been worrying about it

Yeah, I really started noticing that when I was going to lower signal areas yesterday. I don't remember that with my first Nexus 5 that I got exchanged due to light bleed. But the alarm thing was the least of my issues. The others all seem a little more significant.

I'd get it replaced! I don't have these issues.

I think I'm going to try a cache clean and a factory reset and see if that helps anything. If not, a replacement is in my future. Sucks since this is a replacement itself. First one had light bleed, but none of these issues.
 
Assuming your wife's phone is on the same carrier, then yes I'd get a replacement if the factory reset doesn't help.
