[Q] Does anyone else see a delay in Adaptive Brightness? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone notice that when removing the phone from a pocket to a high or low light situation, the adaptive brightness takes several seconds to "adapt"? It is starting to really bug me to the point that I am thinking about turning it off. Previously I was used to the Moto X on lollipop 5.1 which seemed quite quick to change depending on the situation.
No case, no screen protector.

Yes it takes a little bit to react, not so slow that it bothers me, yet...
Have you tried Lux Lite in the Google store? It's free and could be a possible alternative for the time being. I use it on my G4 and it's fantastic

Yes it's slow to react. I read this in some of the reviews but it was always blamed on early software. Let's hope it improves with updates.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA Premium HD app

So I pre-ordered the 5X to replace my Moto X 2014 which I purchased earlier this year when my N5 screen shattered during a drop. I have been using Nexus devices since the Galaxy Nexus, and only got the X because I didn't want a 6 inch phone like the N6 was. I actually ended up really liking the X, and ordered the 5X with intention of returning if it didn't seem like a significant upgrade. My first impressions were to return the 5X and use my Moto X until next year, but after a couple days the 5X has grown on me and I'm thinking keep it, sell the X. My single biggest complaint is adaptive display, in the past it was never very good, but on my N5 it actually improved significantly with Lollipop. However on the 5X it has been pretty bad, brightness changes are drastic and sudden like they used to be, on my Moto X it was always a smooth gradual change that wasn't noticeable. I used to not use it because it was so bad, but I've grown spoiled by really good functioning adaptive display and now don't want to give it up. I don't find it slow as much as inconsistent, changes screen brightness drastically when lighting around me changes a little bit. Hopefully will be fixed in a software update soon.

Transiting from moto X

As the title suggested I'm transiting from a 2013 moto X (1st Gen) to a Nexus 5X. Personally I don't want to get a large phone (ie moto X style), want to return to Nexus devices (last being a Galaxy Nexus). I also want to get day one updates instead of waiting on carriers (like Verizon). I also want to finally get a phone that I can play around with a fingerprint reader. I'd love to get your views upon the Nexus 5x when compared to the first gen moto X.
Seeing as its been 2 years since I've gotten a new phone, how would you compare the Moto X 2013 to the Nexus 5x for screen, battery and performance.
-I'm not looking for high end game performance just want a nice snappy interface.
-Screen I'm just looking for a nice display to look at nothing really high end (I rather watch videos on my calibrated HDTV or monitor at home).
-And battery to get me through a day with low to medium web browsing.
Also on a side note my Moto X lately has been suffering from the optimizing apps upon start up bug that is in 5.1, has this problem been corrected in 6.0?
I was actually in the same boat, having moved from a Galaxy Nexus to the first gen Moto X. I was really hesitant mostly because the Moto X had been my favorite phone so far.
For me, the transition has been pretty excellent. The phone is noticeably bigger, which ended up not being too much of a concern for me. Performance is definitely better than on Nexus 5X and I have rarely seen any issues that lasted more than a couple of seconds. I think the phone will definitely meet your list in screen, performance, and battery.
I cannot say much on the optimizing apps bug, as I never got my Moto X to actually upgrade with the most recent patches, but I've not seen anything like that on the Nexus 5X after the system update it had.
Overall, I would definitely suggest the Nexus 5X as an upgrade to the Moto X. I was very happy with the switch.

I moved from a 2013 Moto X to the Nexus 5X as well. I've been very happy with the move - as mentioned above, the screen is very nice compared to the Moto X as well as performance (though neither was terrible on my Moto X). There are some adjustments I've needed to make, the size is certainly larger - but I've adapted pretty quickly, it's still mostly one-hand usable by me. I miss Motorola's Active Display - Marshmallow's Ambient Display is nice, but not nearly as responsive as Active Display (and I liked that I could configure Active Display to only allow specific apps to trigger). I'm not a heavy user and don't try to meet some of the screen on times others report; I simply want to use my phone as needed throughout the day and be able to make it through the day without the need to charge. So far I've been able to accomplish that - in fact, I managed two days of standby without charging, now that's under my usage patterns which is minimal calls, a few Hangout messages light gaming and emails. The first few days, when I was non-stop using it I managed to make it through a full day without battery saver engaging.
I've not encountered the optimizing apps bug on either device (though I read for the Moto X it only occurred if the device was charging when restarted).
Same move for me. Verizon moto x 2013 to the nexus 5x.
Only thing I miss about the moto is size and vibration strength. Everything else is far superior.
No lag. Amoled screens look nice and have the nifty "active display" feature. I miss that on the moto, but I'm never getting another amoled screen. My gs3 had light burn in on the status bar after a year. My moto x had significant burn in on the status bar and software key bar after a month. Didn't ruin the phone but it was noticeable on solid backgrounds. Done with dealing with that.
The screen on the nexus 5x is really nice and the resolution bump is welcomed.
Just got my nexus 5x today coming from '13 Verizon moto x. So far, I'm really missing the consistent moto display. The ambient display is just awful compared to it. It's not awful on its own but when you have seen how good it can be, it's a major disappointment.
Vibration is pathetic, how are you ever supposed to feel it's tiny tremor??
Other than that, battery seems decent and the screen is gorgeous. Also quite snappy but the X wasn't really that slow.
I'll need to use it for a few days but I'm not convinced it's worth the upgrade over my moto x 2013 yet.

I can't imagine it not being worth the upgrade?
Camera, there is no comparison. Battery life, display resolution, fingerprint reader, speed, UPDATES...
The only thing the 13x has on it is moto actions/display, and better display technology. I prefer AMOLED heavily over LCD. That would make the 5x an excellent device. I'm still torn between my 14x and the 5x due to notifications and the display types.

True, I guess Im just hung up on the notifications. Really wish it had 3GB of RAM too because I essentially didn't update my RAM amount.
14x looks great but I'm really liking the fingerprint scanner on the 5x! haha
Edit: Also I can tell the X has a bit better color saturation. Although I like the brightness and resolution of the 5x better.

I'm not going to sugar coat it, with the 14X and the 5x side by side I'm pretty disappointed looking at the 5x. I prefer vibrant punchy colors and blacks that amoled produces. The 5x is just washed out in comparison.
I have problems with my Moto X shutting down randomly at various stages of battery life. Which is super frustrating not knowing when my phone is going to die. Really the only reason I lean towards the 5x. The 5x is a great device, just missing some of the things I really love about the Moto X.

I'd say that sums it up for me too...great just missing some good moto x features. I'll give it a couple weeks to decide if I'll keep it since Google has a generous return period now.
Who knows I might try the 6p, although holding the 5x I'm not sure I can imagine going bigger!

That's the issue. 6p is way too big, and 100% not an option.

Has anyone used both the 5X and 6P?

So here is my dilemma, just playing with the 6P a bit and i love everything so far about it no issues as of now im still not a fan of AMOLED but its not as bad as i thought it would be but my biggest issue is the phone is massive I have small hands and im not sure I can ever get use to a phone this size, btw im coming from the M8
So I know the 5X is a plastic build, smaller battery and only 1 front speaker these are the things that matter to me but it has the same camera which is one of the main reasons I want to replace my M8
My question for anyone that has used both can you give me an unbiased opinion on speed of the 5X and battery or any other important issues. I just want to know if maybe i should give the 5X a shot
I have Nexus 5X and like it.
I have not used Nexus 6P and although it could be a bit faster, have more RAM or stereo speakers - the size of it is the problem for me. Aluminum is slippery especially if the phone is big and not comfortable to hold + more expensive. I am happy with Nexus 5X and and it completes my daily tasks just like any other flagship device out there. For you, I would suggest, to get 5X, but don't return your 6P just yet. Play with both and return one of them.

I bought both and used them and decided on the 5X. The 6P outperforms the 5X pretty much everywhere. But the 5X feels so much smaller/lighter/better in the hand. I tried my best to love the 6P but in the end, it was just too big. The 5X definitely feels cheaper, but I kinda like that. In the end, I kept not looking forward to actually holding the 6P in my hands. As I wrote to someone else, holding the 6P was a bit of a chore. The 5X is plenty fast in performance, but not as fast and smooth as the 6P. Coming from my Galaxy S4, the 5X flies.
This topic is very helpful. I currently have the 6p and trying to determine if i should return it and get the 5x. I love the 6p with a case on it but the size is my main complaint. It is fast and great for watching videos and browsing the web at home. Speakers and camera are good. I have a difficult time when I am active moving around or using in the car. It doesn't fit in my cup holder. I have almost dropped it a few times when trying to use one handed.
I am constantly thinking that I will be happier with smaller phone. My current phone is 4.7 inches.

I had both for about a week, and now it's been a week since I returned the 6P. I must say I am not regretting my decision at all. Even things like hitting the fingerprint sensor are better on the 5X. And I must say I definitely prefer the LCD on the 5X to the amoled on the 6P. Movies are the only thing that look better on the 6P; everything else looks better on the 5X, as far as color goes. I did prefer the 6P with sRGB color enabled. If only the 6P was, like, 5.3-5.4 inches and not as heavy. Not only is the 5X easier on the hand, the thing is light as a feather.
Haven't used the 6p, however I'm coming from a 4.7 inch nexus 4, and I was always scared for a screen bigger than 5 inches, but after getting the 5x it fits very nicely and not as big as I thought

I have used both for about a week each. My observations are as follows:
Battery Life - The 6P seems to last a fair bit longer than the 5X, for me at least. Even with the same set of apps on both the 6P lasts me a day whereas the 5X requires a top-up mid afternoon.
Screen - Personally I prefer the larger more vibrant screen of the 6P. The other advantage is that the UI seems a bit small on the 5X due to being scaled down compared to other 5.2" phones I have used like the Moto X 2nd Gen. Probably an age thing though, I never used to have a problem with smaller text!
Speed/Performance - Both are fairly fast and responsive, however the 5X tends to get bogged down for a few seconds from time to time. The 6P doesn't seem to do this.
Weight/Size - This is the killer for me. Although I prefer most aspects of the 6P it is just a bit too big to be comfortable in most of my trouser (pants for the Americans among us) pockets . It is worth noting that I didn't have any problem with the size of the 6P while in use - I could type fine one handed using a swipe keyboard.
As had been said many times elsewhere by other people, the phone I really wanted was a 5P..... Ultimately though I have settled on using the 5X for the moment, in the hope that one of the updates will help in the battery life stakes verses the 6P. The 6P just seemed like too much of a hassle to carry around.

This is the exact reason I didn't even give the 6P a second thought. After owning the Nexus 6 for many months, I just never felt comfortable with it and ended up back on my Nexus 5. Using it was definitely a burden, especially on the go. I learned first hand that a 6" phone is just too big. I was never able to get used to it. Quite frankly, I don't see how enough people find it to be a good size, thus making manufacturers continue to build phones that big. 5.2" - 5.5" is the sweet spot. Any bigger is just too much.
I ordered both, and I'm returning the 6P
Main reason:
6P is too big, slippery and heavy making one handed use almost impossible.
Secondary reasons:
Pricey.
810 woes. I could feel it get quite warm, although not unbearably so. Again, with the cost in perspective, I would rather wait for a better processor in a 5 inch phone.
I really don't do anything demanding with my phone. I mainly care about the unlocked bootloader and good s/w support, which any nexus would provide.
I still get some mileage over 5, notably wifi calling and band 12 support for t-mobile when it arrives. Combined with the early bird google play promo, I think I paid pretty much the same price for pretty much the same phone, which is fine. I really like my 5, and I'll give it to someone in family. Also, for what it's worth, the 5x should hold better value than 5 since it works with all the carriers in the US, should you choose to sell it later.
I have owned two Nexus 6Ps. The first had a green tint on the top half of the screen and the second had a red tint on the top. Granted, they were minor, and the vast majority of people would never notice the tints, but I'm extremely picky when it comes to displays. I returned multiple Galaxy S6s earlier this year for the same reason. AMOLED screens just seem to have poor uniformity and so I generally prefer LCDs. So I ordered a 5x today and it already shipped. But it's going to have to beat my Moto X Pure (Style) if it wants to stay in my pocket. I'll share my thoughts next week after I get a couple days to compare to the 6P and Pure.

My 5x has a barely noticeable tint near the bottom half, almost like a gradient on white displays but as you say most people probably wouldn't even notice it. I guess it's not just an AMOLED thing. I did an RMA but the replacement is completely yellow unfortunately, not sure if it's even worth trying again at this time.
My friend got the 6p and I got the 5x. No doubt the 6p is the more premium offering but in day to day use and holding the device the 5x wins hands down.
So I got my 5X today and love it. I will be returning the 6P. I will miss the slightly better performance of the 6P, the larger battery, and the better speakers, but I prefer the screen on the 5X (I'm an LCD and accurate color fan) and most of the experience is the same. Oh, and the camera cover glass on the 6P gives it really bad reflections in photos when the sun is out so I'm hoping the more standard looking lens cover on the 5X solves that.

I have both the 5x and the 6p. My 6p has a pink hue I'm waiting for them to release the hold on the first one I returned and I'm going to get another. Besides having the pink hue on the 6p I love both devices for different reasons. I do find myself reaching for my 5x more just because it's more comfortable. I currently have my phone sim in my 5x and my tablet sim in my 6p. I do use both every day though.

It is. Selling the Moto X. I heard so many complaints about the 5X being stuttery and slow, but those people must have defective units or a rogue app constantly running because I can barely tell a difference between the 5X and 6P, sometimes not at all. The 5X is no faster than the Moto X Pure, but scrolling and animations are much smoother.
I have the Nexus 5X and a co-worker of mine has the Nexus 6P which he allowed me to play with for a while. The Nexus 6P is just too big for me. One handed use and comfortable pocketabiltiy are high on my list. I did like the build quality and I prefer the more life like colors and deep blacks of an AMOLED screen(although I'm really happy with the Nexus 5X screen too). As far as battery it seemed to me that while browsing using Chrome the battery on the Nexus 6P dropped at about the same rate as my Nexus 5X with similar conditions and similar results in the battery details screen but I don't do a very accurate test so I can't say for sure but it seems that it's comparable to the Nexus 5X or maybe just a bit better which is what I would expect due to the much higher resolution.
Don't have 6P but N5X is definitely a welcome change in terms of weight and size after spending a year with Oneplus One. I never got used to 5.5" device and having weightless N5X puts it several notches above 6P for me. Besides, with encryption disabled this thing is plenty buttery, so no complaining here.
I've used both and I'm very undecided...
Display - Tie
Nexus 6P pros here are the bigger AMOLED screen. I'm typically an AMOLED fan over LCD and I actually like the over-saturated colors. That said, the LCD on the Nexus 5X is more accurate and has very even blacks (they are still gray compared to an AMOLED, but the screen doesn't have any bright spots/backlight bleed). Also, even though I know AMOLED screens have improved on this front I was still always worried about burn-in since it does start to get noticeable over time. It's nice to not have to worry about that on the 5X. I'd say it's a wash.
Audio - 6P
No contest here. My 6P had slightly imbalanced speakers so I ended up returning it but my wife's is very close to balanced. But even with the balance being slightly off the sound on the 6P is much better than the 5X. The 5X is actually worse than my Moto X 2014. Headphone output is about the same on both.
Performance - Tie
Haven't had any performance issues on either device. The 6P obviously has the faster processor but they're both "good enough" and neither lags in normal use.
Quality Control - 5X
Both 6Ps I've used have minor issues like the screen being seated improperly, the speaker balance being off, etc... The 5X doesn't have any minor imperfections like that.
Battery Life - 6P
No contest here really. The 6P has much better battery life both on standby and when actively using the device. The 5X is "okay" but I barely make it through a day of heavy usage (ie, when I was traveling yesterday) while the 6P can easily handle it.
Usability - 5X
Wasn't really sure what to call this, but the 5X's size just makes it easier to use with one hand. It fits better in your pocket, etc...
Camera - Tie
I haven't seen any observable difference between the two.
So overall I have 2 wins for each and the rest are ties. Obviously it depends on what you prioritize but it's making the decision very tough for me.
Just to follow up on my earlier post (quoted below) I have been switching between the two devices more often than I thought I would. While the size of the 5X is preferable to me the battery life just isn't working out as well as I had hoped, given the the same usage and apps on both (light to moderate usage).

I have returned the 6p and settled on the 5x. The 6p is a beast of a phone, speed, screen, build, etc etc. However, i just could not get personal with it. I am so much more happy with the 5x. A true 5 upgrade. Speed wise yes maybe a bit of difference, but im on my second day and its as fast as my 5 if not faster.

Anyone upgrading from Nexus 6P?

I'm really thinking about getting this phone, but would like to hear some opinions on people who made the switch from the Nexus 6P. Can anyone give some input on that? Thanks!
I have the nexus 6p and will be getting the htc 10 since I have always had an htc phone. Will keep the 6p though. Just waiting on the carbon gray htc 10 for verizon.
I did. Love the smaller size, much better build quality and feels a whole lot more solid. Sense is pretty nice too.
I want to try something new from my 6P although I really don't need to. At first I was considering the S7E, G5, and now the 10. Each phone has its pro's and con's... but the 10 seems to be the most enticing overall. The only thing that would make it perfect for me were if it were actually front facing speakers, OLED, and a little bigger screen size... but other than that, I think it'll be a great phone. Maybe I'll enjoy the smaller footprint.

I only got to listen to the speakers in a VZW store. How do they stack up to the 6P? Also, how is the screen brightness and contrast? I'm hoping the contrast is at least as good as the LG G5.
Bought my 6P early April, i returned it on the 12th just after the 10 was announced
what i liked?
Decent Screen,
Decent Battery life,
Dev support & software
Fast charging
Front facing speakers
camera? (good but no 1080*60 recording was a downfall)
Why i returned it?
Headset volume I listen to music via 24/7 the headphone jack dac was poor, the max volume was low( even while rooted with elemental x kernel, power amp etc)
Size, i had no issues holding it & got used to the size pretty fast coming from the 4'7 m7 however it felt uncomfortable in my pocket while sitting down, i was constantly checking to make sure it wasn't falling out.
Build. IT felt cheap for a metal phone, it didn't feel as soild as my m7, i was paranoid regarding the bending around the power button
Price, wasn't really competitive at the time of purchase £449 vs £513 for HTC 10
Always been a fan of HTC and I loved my M8 but the camera was horrible and battery life was meh.
Going from the Moto X Pure to the Nexus 6P felt like a big difference in overall quality. And then I got my hands on the HTC 10 and it completely blows the 6P out of the water in my personal opinion.
I switched from a Nexus 6P to the HTC 10 and definitely prefer the 10 overall. Like Diz said, the audio quality of the 10 is MUCH better than the 6P, in both Bluetooth and with headphones. The 6P really gets spanked by the 10 in this area.
The size of the 10 is much better for me. It's totally a personal preference, of course, but the 6P was just way too big for my hands.
Battery life has been fine for me so far. It gets me through a day without having to recharge. When I do recharge with the QuickCharge 3.0 charger, it charges fast! My 10 was at 34% battery the other night, I put it on the charger and it indicated the phone would be fully charged in 30 minutes. :good:
Build quality of the 10 feels great, it's a very nice, solid-feeling phone.
I've been fine with the Sense skin, even as a guy who prefers stock Android. I just hope HTC will do timely updates for this phone as time goes on.
Fingerprint scanner has worked fine for me. I think it's a tad slower than the one on the 6P, but nothing to fuss about, IMHO.
Overall, I personally haven't found any major issues with the 10. When I pre-ordered it, I wasn't sure if I'd prefer it to the 6P or not, but I'm glad I decided to give it a try. I really like the phone and have made it my daily driver, while my 6P will now be sitting on my desk as my emergency backup phone.
The screen color is a lot better than 6p. However I think the camera is better on 6p. When you are taking the pic on the 10 it looks great, but right as I click the button it seems like the still is not as great. Idk it's weird. But I prefer the size. I love the thinness of the 6p but it was too long for me. I prefer the HTC UI overall.

The camera sensors are the same. HTC is just having trouble getting the exposure correct. Everything else is pretty solid. In the meantime, I'd recommend just using Pro mode to slightly tweaked the shots. You will get better pictures than the 6P guaranteed - f/1.8, OIS, and more manual control will make this the best camera on a mobile device yet. How so? The 6P wins a lot of contests already. As mentioned, the HTC 10 can only improve upon that.
I have both, basically the size of the 6P is what did it for me. Too huge... And I don't like amoled

I have both and currently the 6P takes better pictures and this is after the HTC update.

I also switched from a 6p. On the 6p I was having trouble with Bluetooth and the phone got really slow for whatever reason.. On top of that I prefer a smaller phone and the 4gb ram does make a difference. So far so good with the htc 10, the camera is pretty much the same. I wish they would update the quick settings but besides that it's a winner.

Thanks for the input guys, hearing so many positive things. I think I will give it a try.
Ditto to everyone concerning the size. Much, much better everyday phone as it now actually fits in my pocket.
In terms of screen, I still prefer AMOLED to the LCD panel on the 10. Regardless, the 10's is still great.
I'm going to be a dissenting vote. I now have both and I think I'll be returning the 10. The size of the 6P was bugging me and I loved my M7 (I've kept it as a backup for the last several phones I've had) so I bit the bullet and preordered. Have had it for a few days now.
Now don't get me wrong, the 10 is a fantastic phone - every good thing that has been said about it is true. Build quality is amazing, camera is great, speedy, the boomsound is good, Sense is much better now, etc. However, there are a few things that are bugging me enough to return it.
1. Purely a matter of preference, but I like the AMOLED better than the LCD.
2. The green/amber only LED is annoying. I color code contacts so that I can tell who I have texts, etc. from without turning on the screen in meetings. Not an option with the 10.
3. Bluetooth issues with my car - unlike the four other phones I've had with this car, the 10 won't sync contacts. It will show the last several calls, but only as numbers, not names. Apparently this has been a problem with several HTCs and particularly German cars. I finally solved it, mostly, by installing the Google phone and contacts APKs from APK Mirror. Now the contacts appear, but there are random, weird duplicates. Must be something unique to the HTC dialer/people apps.
4. When I use voice typing over bluetooth, the audio in the car doesn't pause, unlike with 3 of the last four phones I've had.
5. Shockingly, I've gotten so used to the screen size of the 6P that the 5.2" screen seems unnaturally small! I'm sure I would get back used to it over time.
Most or all of these are personal preferences or things that are particular to my situation and are not meant as general criticisms of the phone.
I have both a 6P and a 10 and I like the 10 much more... Except for the performance. I expected it with the 820 and near stock android skin it would fly, but just going into settings and scrolling down all the way in one flick shows dropped frames etc. In apps ( Especially weather timeline) I see scrolling much smoother on the 6P. Really surprising. I'm thinking of returning the 10 and getting either the exynos S7 or LG G5 because I also had the G5 and that was hands down the fastest phone I've ever used.
I have an opportunity to buy a 6p 64gb silver for 390$ brand new but I also don't know because I kind of want the 10 :\

That's weird, you should try LeeDroid ROM.
Hmm have been using the 6p and now want to try the 10 simply because of the sd card slot. However am more concerned with the performance issue because the 6p is the smoothest phone I have ever used. Can anyone who made the switch please give an opinion on overall smoothness and scrolling please?

Have Queries About the Device Before Purchasing, Please Assist

Hey guys, I use a Galaxy Note 4 now, although I'm very happy with device's top notch display and very good camera, I'm annoyed with it's software performance, the TW goodness that is!
So I was looking for a worthy successor, and it seems like this one might be, but I have a few queries and worries, which I need to clear out before shelling the money out behind this.
First, what's this Wi-Fi issue? I have seen it in so many places now that I've lost count. Is this a real hardware issue? My phone is connected to Wi-Fi 99% time.
Second, both GSMA and PA reviews said that the call quality isn't good! Is that true? I live in India, and the earpiece has to be extremely clear and loud too, GSMA's phone call earpiece dB value doesn't seem too good, so will that be a problem?
Thirdly, although I've given a look at the development section, I need a very good kernel, I mean those which come with several governors like Bluactive and sorts, because I crave for ultimate performance/smoothness, will I get that?
And last but not the least, how bad is the display? I mean I'm ready to trade off display for software and build, but still, will it really hurt me coming from a Note 4?
Thanks a lot in advance to anyone and everyone who is going to help me here :laugh:
-Saurav
Really guys? Not a single reply?
I have not had any wifi issues or call quality issues. There are some good kernels but stock has been very good with battery life and performance for me. You will have a trade off with amoled and LCD, but the screen on the HTC is very clear, color accurate, and the most responsive to touch I have used.

1. I have had the phone since launch. Haven't had a wifi issue.
2. I find the cell quality is good. It's not any worse than any other phone I have owned. I find that it makes more of a difference if both callers are on a network that supports wideband audio.
3. There are a few kernels already, and the phone isn't even that old. Give it time, or dev your own. It's not tough at all to add a CPU governor to a kernel.
4. I had a Note 4, and I feel the display is just as good. It is a bit different than the AMOLED on the Note 4, but I don't have any issues with it. It is also legible in the sunlight.
I, too, have had the HTC 10 since launch and it is the best phone I've owned.
I have had no wi-fi issues.
The call quality has been excellent and I have some hearing loss.
I am still running stock so I can't can't comment on other kernels.
I previously had a Note 4 and a Moto X, and I am very satisified with the HTC 10's display.
I have had the phone for a couple of weeks now. I have not had any wifi issue and the call quality has been very good. Battery life compared to my previous phone LG G4, is much better. So far I am pretty happy with the phone. TIme will tell.
I've had the HTC10 for a week. It's a nice solid good looking phone. I swapped it for my old Moto X Style.
Over this week I have noticed no Wi-Fi problems in regards to the phone but my home sky Wi-Fi is crap.
Call volume etc is fine.
It's crashed on me twice.. Not sure why as I'm still currently stock.
Cannot help with kernels as I only ever go stock.
And the screen is the biggest let down in my opinion without a doubt it's not bright enough at all. I sometimes struggle to use it in the sun and I live in the UK where the 'sun' isn't even bright
Oh and I hate the stock keyboard.

Is it worth to move form N5 to N5X now?

Hi
I know that there is a lot of similar threads, but I read it and still don't know what should I do.
Is is worth to move? I believe that there is a lot of people which moved from N5 to N5X.
In daily using is there any difference in smooth and performance?
Big plus for mi is Android N
To be honest with you, it's even a downgrade.
I moved from N5 to Xiaomi Mi4C and then to N5X (because I love to tinker around) and if the screen on my old Nexus 5 wouldn't be broken, I would go back to the Nexus 5 without hesitating and I would look forward to it.
1. The camera is utterly crap if you want to make close-up pictures, otherwise it's just okay.
2. The cpu is janky, it lags here and there even with encryption disabled and even with custom kernel and custom roms. I would often like to smash the phone against the wall because it takes so long to do basic tasks...
3. The cpu, it gets so hot I could burn my skin with it from time to time (hotspot + using your phone? Burn your fingers...). Even browsing and listening to music seems to stress the cpu that much that it heats up extremely. Custom kernel and custom rom do indeed improve it a bit, but the problem is still there and noticeable
4. The sound is really quiet/silent and as soon as you turn the volume up it gets distorted. Listening to music with just the phones speakers is a huge pain.
5. The battery life is miserable, okay compared to the N5 it's at least not worse and it will get better with Android N as I already tested out for a week.
Honestly, keep your N5 and wait until they release the new ones, but don't buy the N5X. You will be so disappointed by its performance.
You can get Android N on the N5 without any big problems via custom rom which will be probably released shortly after the final Android N version is released . It's no problem to flash it to the N5 and you won't loose warranty (which I guess is already over)
PS; Nobody has to tell me my N5X may be defective, the 3 workmates who bought the N5X as well are complaining constantly about those points as well.

Definitely agree on most of your points as a 5x owner. But i never had problems with my cpu like you do. My phone is heavily filled with apps and stuff and it doesn't lag at all. Sometimes it's a bit jerky here and there but that's it. And on point 3. nearly all the smartphones have that issue it's the build material that makes it feel so hot. if you take for example a samsung phone with the same cpu but their build quality with the glass and metal it will feel far less hot. but yeah wait for the new nexus!
It's a noticeable upgrade in just about every way from a N5 and worth the upgrade IMO.
After 8 months I've seen no performance issues with my 5x and the graphics performance (gaming) is 2x higher especially over long gaming runs as the graphical performance doesn't hit rock bottom like it did with the N5 after warming up.
The camera is top notch. Same camera as the Nexus 6p, you'll see only praise for it around the internet. No other phone camera comes close at this price range.
Heat generation is actually a huge improvement over the N5. The N5 could see skin temperatures up to 10C higher than the 5x, so if people think their 5x gets hot then they haven't ever used a N5. Here's an exert from one of the few review sites that tests for thermals, skin temperature specifically.
With idle temperatures of just over 25 °C, the Nexus 5X hardly heats up noticeably in idle mode. The handset is also unexpectedly cool under load despite the relatively strong SoC. The hottest spot measured reaches just 37.4 °C here - other premium smartphones often surpass 40 °C. The review sample can even shine with the lowest rates compared with its rivals.

Size difference, the bigger screen is nice and even noticeable but the 5x is a lot taller than it needs to be so the N5 would win in total size and screen to bezel ratio.
External speaker. It sounds about the same but it gets 1 or 2 steps louder and facing forward is an improvement.
Back cover discolouration. My carbon black seems to get permanent smudges that can be seen under certain lighting conditions.

You may call that jerky, we call it laggy, janky whatever. But you do agree it's not as fluid as the N5? Or could you even ever compare the N5 to the N5X? It is by no means fluid and for me not an acceptable performance. My N5 runs rounds around the N5X when it's not about gaming. And exactly that is my point. Why is the N5 in basic tasks (Menu, browsing, scrolling, animations) faster than the N5X? I didn't expect a downgrade in everyday task performance and it hit me hard in the disappointment section.

It's just an upgrade if you are constantly playing games (performance wise). In the most basic tasks the N5 crushes the N5X performance. But the thread starter can decide that himself if he buys the N5X and I would really like to hear his opinion then after comparing the two devices

Are you kidding? I agree the camera is better than the one found in N5 but my Mi4C took way better pictures than the N5X and several levels better when capturing some close distance shots (really close distance) and you know what? The Mi4C is cheaper.
I don't want to sound like the camera is bad in every aspect, but top notch is fanboy talk...
Actually whenever I wanted to take a close distance picture with an N5X I always ended up with the picture being blurred to the point I couldn't even recognize what should be on the picture :crying:.
Some people also say the Nexus 9 is a very good tablet whereas my mate and I who bought the devices together would call it the worst nexus product until now
Now let me mention some things I like about the N5X because I don't totally hate the device and I'm just so disappointed that the performance is worse than on the N5 in almost every situation.
- Screen: I already got several compliments that the screen is well calibrated and looks pretty good.
- USB C: It's positive as well as negative. I like the new connector, but all of my friends who don't have it hate it because they can't use my charger nor my cable
- Front facing speakers (just don't turn the volume up too much, otherwise the sound gets ****ty)
- Quick Charging: Absolutely love that! Helped me out in many situations where I just needed like 20-30% more charge to get through the day or the night.
- Screen gets activated when you lift the phone from the desk or out of your pocket, pretty convenient
- You'll maybe be able to access the notification tray and quick settings panel with the fingerprint scanner in Android N
So it is really worse performance N5X than N5 in daily using?

I don't know if I would go that far. I feel like with my N5, I had to choose between a smooth experience or battery life. With the N5X it that isn't so much the case. That being said, there are times where this phone will lag on even the most simplest of tasks with no explanation or reason. It's beyond frustrating. At this point you're better off waiting for the new Nexus phones to come out and snagging one of those instead.
I would (am) wait(ing). I wouldn't even replace my N5, but it's showing problems with modem and gps. It's been suggested that our N5X is defective because of the jerky/lagging touch responsiveness. When it's placed next to the N5, the color calibration seems off. N5 has much whiter whites and just appears crisper than what I see on the 5X. The 5X belongs to hubby who doesn't care about the off-white tint, but he really dislikes the fact that touches have to be repeated even 3 times before they respond. I would try a custom kernel, but he doesn't want me messing with his phone. He doesn't use his phone for much. If the new phones don't meet my needs/wants, I'll get a 6P. It's a little big but haven't seen any other problems with the one we have.

What you call "whiter white" is blue white and actually shows a bad calibration, just saying. If you prefer such color pallete then better go for samsung. Also there is an option in dev settings to "fix" it, though i have it disabled. No difference (unless you compare) in the day, while the blue white hurts my eyes in the night
Back to topic, stock 5x is a bit laggy but EX kernel with ghostpepper fixed that for me.
Battery is ok, similar to my G2 and people did not whine about that phone so i dont know why everyone is pissed with 5x
If someone (creambyemute ) believes that the camera is bad, then should get a eye surgery appointment soon. Just kidding, but you should tap your screen to focus at that distance/objec. If the blur persists just focus on something else and then back at your target
5x has great well-light photos, good low light ones, though no stabilizer so videos are shaky
All that being said new nexus phones should not be too far, so you might as well wait for them
For all the people complaining about daily performance... Just flash PA rom. Done. Phone is smooth now.

With the new Nexus phones coming out soon, I wouldn't upgrade to the 5X if I were you. I got my 5X when it first came out and I had a Nexus 5 before.
There are some improvements but nothing major despite a 2-yr gap. Better camera, better battery, better screen, but laggy and slow sometimes. I was kind of disappointed when I first got my 5X.

You've waited this long with the N5, what's another 2 months for the next Nexus phones? Unless you can get some amazing deal and don't mind having 1 year old hardware, I suggest waiting.

I know all the commentary about the color palette/calibration/preference/true colors arguments which makes it a little difficult to determine if, in fact, one actually has a defective screen (as I had on my first N7 FLO which looked worse than my then current N7). I prefer the color tones on my N5. However, I did change to cool temperature option on the 5x, and I think it's more to my preference. I do like the amoled display on the 6P and think the samoled's are all right. It was big change from Galaxy Nexus to N4. Ultimately, it's all about the point you bring up (blue white hurts my eyes in the night). No two people see anything exactly the same way so all we can do is get what works for us. Actually, I prefer the displays on the ios devices, that and battery life, but that's it.
The pictures were taken with the N9 which no one can argue has a great camera; however, it shows the differences. One can also see that the 5x presents sharper images on the screen. I will say that I thought the 5 showed clearer text than the pics show. I'm sure someone (anyone) could have taken betters shots. The left pic is warmer display; the right is cooler.

Thus why i said that sammy phones are probably more in your alley, they also have a neutral color option if you feel like it too.
My friends like samsung so i have seen few of their phones and amoled is not really my cup, stunning colors but you can take picture of a bulb light room and it will be chock full of orange while the same picture on other phones looks white/yellow.
I heard that the s7 has not such aggressive saturation, but until i can meet with my friend to check his s7 edge i cant say for sure. I will update when that happens if you want

I've had zero performance issues with my 5x since I bought it 9 months ago. There hasn't been a single instance where I've found it to be slower than my N5, and multiple instances of it being faster such as connection speeds, gaming performance and loading the camera. Storage speeds are also much faster than the N5 even with encryption enabled on the 5x and disabled on the N5 (less secure).
The camera on the 6p and 5x (same camera) was well regarded as one of the best cell phone cameras until this years devices started rolling out. Details with HDR+ are insane, low light performance is out of this world, and the pictures come out fast and snappy with the camera loaded and capturing scenes within 2-3 seconds from being locked. Most importantly: everything you take a picture of looks like it does in real life with your eyes.
It can't be a fanboy comment when every review of the camera on the 5x and 6p agrees: it is absolutely top notch.
It sucks that you haven't experience the 5x to its fullest, I'm not sure if you have a defective 5x or possibly are causing the issues with your 3rd party software but your experience is not typical.
My friend has recently acquired a Nexus 5x about 2 weeks ago and so far has had the same experience myself. Snappy, smooth, and the best phone at this price range by a large margin.

So it is really worse performance N5X than N5 in daily using?

Not in my experience and I've owned the 5x since launch day and a N5 since its launch day as well.
I made the swap a month ago when Carphone Warehouse in the UK were clearing stock for £130 and don't regret it at all. Feels exactly like you would expect a two year newer N5 to feel, nothing earth shattering, just slicker all round. Put the Nougat DP5 straight on it which obviously helps but only downside for me is no wireless charging as mine lived on a wireless deskstand all day at the office but the quick charging and better battery life make up for it... just have to remember to plug it in for a bit in the evening.
Wasn't keen on how light it is but I always use a case and once that was on all was good. Solid recommendation for the Supcase if you get one, cheap, top quality and once you slit the buttons all is good.
I wouldn't have been looking if it wasn't so cheap or the N5 battery was going but very glad I did and have a got a much more up to date phone for a lot less than half the price of one of the new Nexi when they come out. I stuck a new battery in the N5 and now my youngest is even happier than I am.
Regarding the N5X camera discussion here....
Macro pictures are not important to me. I don't need close-up pictures.
In normal use, the camera is spectacular. I recently went on a trip to Italy with a real camera and, honestly, I didn't even use it. The N5X camera has a wide scope, high quality, and great color reproduction. It's the same camera as that on the N6P, same exact camera; the only difference is not EIS but that can be fixed if rooted (it's disabled by default to make N6P more premium).

Sure, it's no Samsung Galaxy 7, but few phones can compare to the 7's camera.
And who cares about macro?
One more thing about N5 camera vs N5X camera...
I had the N5 previously. If there was ONE thing I hated about the N5 is that pictures took 2-5 seconds to get taken after you press the button.
While on the 5X, it is practically instantaneous.
Last thing...
Come on, get the new Nexus which will launch in about 1-2 months.
This phone is great. I'm on N DP5 and 0 lag, great battery and performance.
