I was going to laugh, but at the price, probably can't go wrong.
How have you had the Nexus 5x For 2 years?Still my daily driver after almost 2 years.
Mediocre battery life but I knew that.
Bone stock since I've had it with no issues in regards to software. I have no idea what you guys do to the phone to get buggy software.
Will upgrade later this year
Parallel universe or time travel. DuhHow have you had the Nexus 5x For 2 years?

GotchaHe edited his original post. He said Nexus 5 first.
Flashed stock/official marahmallow update on my LG G3.
Doze.
Wow.
Went to bed with 53% battery.
Woke up with 52% battery.
Installed an app that can enable an unofficial "aggressive doze" that activates doze in minutes instead of hours of inactivity for extra bonus.
Marshmallow is a necessary update for all phones.
Which app? Does it require root?
It's Greenify 2.8. It doesn't require root.
It also shows you when Doze kicks in and for how long as a notification.

Edit: NM
Greenify is awesome. Everyone should have it installed.

I somehow thought Greenify isn't needed with Marshmallow :/
does it still require Xposed?
Whats there to laugh about? Android TV is the shit and Sony Android TV's are selling extremely well.
Yes.Are the lag issues on the 5x really as bad as I have been reading? What are the experiences here? I have mine ordered and on the way.
Google it. Common issue.I put my SIM card into an iPhone for like 10 minutes and now I can't receive messages from people with iPhones because they're trying to send via iMessage. I've tried putting the SIM card back into the iPhone and turning off iMessage and FaceTime and texting STOP to 48369 and nothing is working. Any help?
Take the issue to an Apple StoreI've tried everything I can find and it still isn't working

This is so stupid. From Googling this has been happening to people for years. How has this not been addressed?
I thought they fixed that ages ago :S

I haven't had any issues with mine other than when I first migrated everything on my phone and it lagged up trying to download/install ALL my previous apps.
Camera lags a little bit I think, but I think that's an Auto HDR issue.
Either just leave it on or turn it off. It's not huge lag either way.
Other than that though, I haven't really seen any lag doing just regular stuff.
I wonder if all the lag issue stuff is just people running too much stuff at once, bad phones, or apps that aren't compatible w/Marshmallow or whatever.
2GB of RAM is the N5X's Achilles heel. It's passable, but Android still leaks memory like crazy (which is why rebooting the phone helps for a day or two) and it still gobbles RAM like candy (better with ART than with Dalvik).
Nexus imprint is nice, but if I had to pick between 3GB of RAM and the fingerprint reader, I'd got for 3GB all day, everyday. It's sad that they cheapened out on the RAM.
Wrong. It's both hardware and software.2GB of RAM is the N5X's Achilles heel. It's passable, but Android still leaks memory like crazy (which is why rebooting the phone helps for a day or two) and it still gobbles RAM like candy (better with ART than with Dalvik).

5X was a rushed product
808 is a sucky chip
Nexus 5 is smooth as butter with 2gb of ram and a weaker chip

It was really laggy using the camera and snap chat. I'm using the 2015 Moto X Pure and performance is much better.
From my experiences you seem partially accurate. Its 64 bit Encrypted L/M.
Devices that are on 32 bit L/M un-encrypted with only 2 gb of ram do not seem to be suffering like this.
2015 Moto X Pure Edition didnt launch with Marshmallow so it didnt have mandatory encryption. I could be wrong but if you could check to see if you are encrypted that would be sweet.
Edit: Also for all we know it may not even be running a 64 bit version of Android. This would be interesting to see too.
I don't have mandatory encryption and I'm using Marshmallow on my Moto X. I have the option of encrypting the phone. This is Android 6.0
I think the 5x has a couple of things against it - the encryption and only having 2gb of ram while using 64 bit processor/os. I was also semi interested in the HTC A9 (ultimately battery was too small and price was too high for what it offered) and all the reviews say performance is snappy and there's no mention of lag like how people mention the 5x. The HTC A9 has a lesser cpu (snapdragon 617) than the 5x but has 3gb of ram.
They did. You used to have to chat with Apple support online (which you probably still can do for help). They fixed the problem for almost everyone by just turning of iMessage and FaceTime with your SIM in the iPhone but you can manually deregister your number from the iMessage servers here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

you're lying.
Apple fixed that issue.
years ago.
blame janky Android.
Not sure if you're joking or not but I'm not lying. How would android be causing this? The problem started after I put my sim into the iphone. And android doesn't have any imessage connectivity so that wouldn't trigger anything imessage related on the iphone.
3GB is overrated. My Xperia Z3 Compact has ran flawlessly with 2GB. There are plenty of budget smartphones only 2GB and they generally run near stock Android well with no memory leak issue. There's something else going on.
Many phones have 2gb + 64bit and don't lag.
