I just got the Nexus 5X some 2-3 weeks ago. First week or two was smooth sailing after setting up the phone as a brand new phone in the initial setup process. I did not restore a backup from a previous phone.
Since then, I've had occasional freezing of apps like the homescreen freezes momentarily and becomes black and unresponsive only to be back to normal shortly thereafter. Likewise I had freezes with Google Music and Chrome. Today however has been my worst attack of freezing. I am reading some articles on Chrome and the bloody thing freezes like crazy. Scrolling is unresponsive and very rough, the interface becomes unresponsive. Home/Back/Recents buttons become unresponsive. I am not sure if the websites are at fault, they are salon.com and huffingtonpost.com that I am reading. And this issue seems very pronounced and doesn't go away in a short while like before. I still have the problem after like 10-15 minutes. Looks like other apps like Facebook are mostly okay, although I see a occasional slow down there.
I note that I am charging my phone while doing this browsing and I am wondering if the heating up of the phone due to charging is causing issues. Is this what people refer to as lag on this phone? Is there a solution?
EDIT: I used an app called "CPU temp" and saw the temperature to be around 39-40C. Also, I read elsewhere on XDA that the CPU is throttled at around 37C in the default kernel. So could this be why I saw all that lag? Now I don't seem to have any issues with Chrome anymore and I can navigate any page including on Salon.com fairly well although Salon is still a bit laggy on not just this but other phones I have, so their website may also have some issues.

I've been using my Note for a long time without any of the issues I have read about. Until now. This past week there were several updates to applications, including one that allows apps to send things to OneNote, which I had been waiting on for a while.
Then I was using Mazec3 inside NoteAnytime and while I was writing, things just froze up momentarily and my handwriting was all screwed up. I suspected the app, so I switched back to the Samsung pen input, but I had the same issue.
A device reset seemed to fix it mostly, but I have noticed that while playing CandyCrush, I get a momentary freeze.
The original hesitation seemed to be when the device was converting the handwriting to text (or to suggested words) and adding the CandyCrush issue in seems to suggest a bogged down processor.
Has anyone else had this issue and/or know how to fix it?
Thanks,

Mine is doing the same thing. My google keyboard keeps crashing. I uninstalled it and it's been performing a lot better.
Same here. Especially noticeable during video playback. I watch videos all the time on my note and this just started the other day. Thought it had something to do with my SD card, so I put the file on internal memory. Same issues, any ideas?
Hey all!
My N5X is running stock, completely unaltered (not unlocked, not rooted, no custom recovery, etc.).
The longer it goes without rebooting, the slower it gets.
Eventually, it starts registering long-presses when I only push very quickly on the screen, and this comes with a lag of the UI in general.
I also noticed audio would start skipping after a while.
1. Am I the only one noticing this?
2. Do any of you have an idea of what could be causing this? Sounds like a memory leak, either from an app or the system, but I could be wrong.
3. How would you go about troubleshooting this?
Thanks!
We have multiple posts discussing about lags:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/snapchat-lag-5x-t3250747
So you are not alone.
I saw things about Snapchat and anything involving a camera in general.
But haven't seen anyone complain of false long-presses yet =(
I've had mine running 2 weeks straight before the OTA, and was surprised (and impressed) that I never had any random reboots or slow down.
Stock, with fairly basic apps - stock google apps and a couple games.
I'm completely with you on this one. Lag central, slow downs, I'm at a reboot every 2-3 days now before it becomes unusable to take pictures.

When I got my 5T one year ago, I noticed that the scrolling was a bit jittery while I touched the screen. Any scrolling that happened when I wasn't touching the screen was smooth so I figured it had to do with the digitizer. I read some thread about it but never found a solution, and I finally accepted the fact that this phone didn't feel as smooth as my Nexus 6 did on this regard.
However, after the Android Pie update, the scrolling is now much smoother. There's barely any noticeable difference between scrolling with my finger in Chrome and scrolling that happens without interaction (like when I push away a page and let it scroll by itself).
Am I the only one experiencing this? Maybe I'm extra sensitive to these things, or perhaps my phone had some weird bug that finally got overwritten with the OS update - I never tried factory resetting my device.
Anyone also experiencing same issues? After the PIE update months ago, everything began going downwards. Scrolling sometimes getting laggy or sticky (like pulling a gum from the ground), stuttering on some apps like chrome etc. Should i go back to Oreo? For me personally seems like this whole PIE thing was just a half-assed rebranded thing for OP5/5T originally meant to be devices like OP6/6T they just released half-assed update to satisfy people asking for pie update.

You're not alone.
I noticed this straight away when I "upgraded" to pie. Very noticeable when scrolling. If you leave the phone idle for a couple seconds (around more than 20-30 seconds), then scroll again, there's a very noticeable lag.
Another user on reddit managed to capture the issue
Unfortunately there's no fix. I wiped the cache and then factory reset. Still had the issue.
I ended up just going back to Oreo, which I recommend you do if you want smooth performance again.

Same problem here, no one want to help us. Like problem did not exist
I started having this problem since going to Pie, but the phone only stutters randomly about once or twice a day for me. A temporary solution for my phone is that whenever it lags, I press the power button to lock the phone. After unlocking, the stutters go away. Let me know if it works for you.

Sometimes my screen freezes for a second or two, which in general sucks but not a big deal, the problem is bigger with games though. With most of them it freeze for a little bit and some of them quite often. In this video (
), maybe you can see it in minutes 00:20 and 4:27. The question is, does this happens to you too? Or is my Device faulty?
If it only happens while playing games that load ads in the background, I suspect network bottleneck freezing the foreground game. Try playing offline or setting system DNS to Adguard DNS
Thanks. I'll give it a shot, but it also happens on other games while no visible ads are on screen.

I can confirm this happens to me too. It's very random and rare. But it happens. It's not just games, I'll be scrolling left and right in my launcher and it'll do it on rare occasions. I don't think it's a faulty unit. I think everyone's six Pro does this. I'm pretty darn sure because I have a second Pixel 6 Pro that does the same thing.
