Silenze Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I just received a brand new nexus 5 from sprint. It has tons of stuck pixels. mainly on the top of the screen Its only noticeable on a black screen with the brightness turned all the way up. Is this something I can get fixed or should I try to swap it for a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should easily replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCandroid Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 If the data is similar to when I worked for Sprint Corporate back in May 2013 Sprint paid just under the consumer retail price for iphones and ipads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travismheim Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 After re flashing the factory 4.4.4 image and disabling google now, and ok google from anywhere I am still having battery problems. 1 hour 9m screen on time, and a 28 minute phone call and I am down to 33% battery after only 10 hours. The phone has been sitting within a few feet of my router, and airave almos the entire time. Top items under battery are screen, voice calls, android os, android system, wifi, and then google services. Looking at wake locks, Google Dialer has the longest keep awake time at 25 minutes which I assume is from my phone call. Next is Google services with 24m keep awake time with 6000 wake locks, then phone with 16m keep awake time and 14500 wake locks, and android system with 6m keep awake time and 4000 wake locks. Does anyone have an idea how to curb some of these wake locks? At this point I'm ready to go back to using my EVO LTE, I can't deal with a phone that can barely make it half a day without even moderate use.

You could trying installing xposed and using app opps, bootmanager, and xprivacy for starters. They're tools to limit apps access to things and control them better.

I used to get that kind of usage, I've used greenify, app ops xposed, franco kernel etc for a while but the last few weeks battery life has been atrocious. Something is keeping the phone awake 25% or more of the time, but I can't figure out what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travismheim Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I flashed the factory image again and unchecked restore my account and data. Going to only install a few things like twrp, root and signal check pro and see how it goes to see if I can narrow the cause down. It's frustrating because I used to get decent battery life with excellent stand by time, and lately it has completely tanked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always see if google would replace it for you(as in your phone lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travismheim Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Your battery could have crapped out possibly. You could always see if google would replace it for you(as in your phone lol). I had thought about that, I didn't purchase it directly from Google though. I bought mine as a Sprint retail package (with the Sprint sim pre installed) from Best Buy outright. I have TEP from Sprint on the device but it doesn't seem like it would do much good without paying the replacement deductible. When I was in the store today they told me they don't/won't ever have any parts for the Nexus 5 (my screen has a portion of the oleophobic coating that rubbed off) and when I asked if they could order the screen they told me no. I thought about trying a different store, but all the local ones are all preferred retail stores by the same company so didn't think it would do much good.

Usually it's about one year. I'd think you could get it replaced for the screen issue also, that doesn't sound normal. Maybe you got a dud phone lol.

There is a very small scratch in the top left corner. The coating wore off around the scratch about the size of a penny. I don't really care about the scratch, but the coating wearing off is very annoying. Smudges show very easily and the screen doesn't feel smooth in that area. I just finished re flashing 4.4.4. I allowed it to turn on google now, as well as google location service. I only installed twrp, supersu and busybox pro along with the 20 or so G app's that update themselves. Going to charge it up and let it sit tonight and see how it fares. I used to only drop 1-3% overnight off charger when I first got the phone, hopefully it will be similar and I can go from there.

travismheim Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Down to 84% over night without touching the phone. I just disabled google now, location history, WiFi scanning, and changed WiFi to only stay on during sleep while plugged in. Hopefully that does something. As bad as it is, stand by time did go up. I was draining 30-40% in that same time before. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanlong20 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Any of y'all have (multi) touch issues? For clarification: when trying to open received snapchats, I often will lose the snap before ever actually seeing it because the touch will trigger the countdown, but it won't register as consistent contact/long press, so its pretty much a failure. Doesn't happen on my N7 or any other devices. Tia Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travismheim Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Disabling android device manager's remotely lock this device, remote lock and erase and changing location setting to device only has gotten rid of the wake locks. I also greenified maps as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/battery-life-help-troubleshoot-battery-t2785128. I may try re enabling google now and ok google now from any screen since I actually like those features but it's nice to know I don't have a faulty battery.

HTCandroid Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Looks like a good Nexus 6 leak... http://www.amongtech.com/upcoming-nexus-phablet-specs-revealed-by-benchmark/ I just hope it's like the N5 in respect to being a GSM/CDMA device. Not sure how widespread it is to make it like that or if it's an LG only thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamiller42 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Looks like a good Nexus 6 leak... http://www.amongtech.com/upcoming-nexus-phablet-specs-revealed-by-benchmark/ Looks like more of an upgrade from 5 to 6 than 4 to 5. ... On another note... I have a friend with a Nexus 5 and hears herself when answering a phone call sometimes. The other person cannot hear her, and she only hears an echo of herself. What causes this?

Bummer. do you have a case? If not try using one. I bet the noise canceling mic is canceling your voice. You can quick test it with a piece of tape on the little hole on top.

Bummer. have the person on the other end turn down the volume. you are most likely hearing yourself from the other phone's speaker being too loud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
