The LG-made Nexus 5X of Google has an impressive list of features and powerful specifications, but it is not a fault-free smartphone. Some users have reported a variety of issues with the device, and here are the most common ones with solutions that affected customers can try.
Lagging and Similar Performance Problems
Users that find their Nexus 5X lagging and suffering from other performance problems is likely caused by the initial software bugs associated with Google's newest operating system, Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Users can try to flash their Nexus 5X into the newest version of the operating system using the factory images uploaded by Google.
It would be better, however, to try restarting the smartphone first before tinkering with the operating system, as that could do the trick.
Upside Down Camera Images
Some users are reporting the problem of their Nexus 5X smartphone taking images using third-party apps that turn out to be upside down. Users can simply just rotate the pictures to make them right side up, but Nexus 5X owners should know that the problem is being caused by how app developers are using the old API of the camera in relation to the orientation of the camera sensor of the smartphone.
The problem will not be solved until the app developer fixes the app's code, so users would be recommended to try using other third-party app instead if they want to skip having to rotate their pictures every time.
Mobile Hotspot Issues
Nexus 5X owners could also be experiencing mobile hotspot issues wherein they can connect with other devices to the Nexus 5X, but the devices are not able to connect to the Internet.
The problem, however, is simply because global tethering is switched to null. A local Android developer can enable global tethering for the user.
Short Battery Life
Users experiencing shorter battery lives on their Nexus 5X should not immediately think that their battery is defective, though of course that remains a possibility. Users can try out a variety of optimizations that can be done on the Nexus 5X to improve its battery life first, such as using darker wallpapers and themes and taking advantage of the new Doze function.
Yellow-tinted Screen
Some users are reporting that their Nexus 5X has a distinct yellow tint. Unfortunately, the only solution to such an issue is to ask for a replacement to the smartphone.
