The Nexus 5 Thread

[galapogos]

I decided to flash manually yesterday, unlocked my boot loader, had a bit of problem flashing, rebooted, and upon reboot, got the Marshmallow OTA notification, lol.

Anyway, my Nexus 5 seems to be faster and more battery efficient now. Not sure if it's 6.0 or the factory reset. Probably a bit of both.

Why didn't you just flash the OTA, hence no wiping required?

a bit wlos, but now updating my nexus 5 via ota.

To flash, need to unlock bootloader right? Unlocking the bootloader will cause a factory reset.

Anyway, does anyone know how to set the default USB mode to MTP? It always defaults to charging only, and I need to pull down and change the mode, even after I set it to MTP in Developer Settings.

I think it's meant to be this way. For extra security

I'm not sure if it's meant to be this way. I've had my preference stick once for a few times, but then upon another cable reconnection, it flips back to USB charging. Also, if it's meant to be this way, why would there be a setting in Developer Settings to set the USB mode?

Yes, if you flash factory image, No, if you flash/sideload OTA image.

its usually best to have a full wipe and full rom flash especially on major version release, like 5.1 to 6.0 right, to put our mind at ease that all is clean and fresh, no remnants of the old one.

 

[batboyz]

Probably yes, but I have never wiped my N5 data since the first day I got it, so my N5 has gone through from KK -> L -> M without issues. If it's expected to have issues after every major Android OS OTA, I don't really see the point of Google releasing OTA, cos it will defeat the purpose, especially for users who don't know all these stuff.

When I am at home I mainly use wifi for my downloads. With the upgrade to Marshmallow, I noticed that my N5 is taking longer to connect to my wifi. Anyone with this experience too?

After using 6.0, i find the wifi unstable and some apps kept crashing - dbs paylah, dbs ibanking, facebook, paypal, ebay.

A minor irritation - the bootup animation is so childish; more suited to a kid's toy!

Those apps... Gotta wait for developers to update their apps. Not a problem with Marshmallow.

Restore the apps by titanium backup solved the apps crashed problem for me.

Fresh install via adb (previously kitkat), those apps mentioned are not crashing.

Serious? Later I go home try.

Well, my ibanking crashed on the 1st start, after location services was enabled it worked fine since then (I usually keep it disabled), SMS, OTP etc ok. On paylah sorry, dont really use it much but I just realised it was crashing. :/

Rest are fine.

I don't think the flash-all.bat windows script is working properly though, u need to put commands individually 1 by 1


My apps are fresh installs made from lenovo shareit backups kept on my pc transfered via wifi.
