Have you got a screen protector on it? If so, try it without. I had the same problem on my old Nexus 4

It's not all that. It's really shit, really cumbersome, you really don't want it, honestly, it's crap
but you'll probably love it

Yes, and I've covered proximity sensor with finger and it went off, and I removed finger and it switched back on, so it is working. Have given the area a polish though in case there's grime/fingerprints
Found a possible fix, don't know whether it'll work though.
Proximity Autolock mentioned on this page

and switching it off as mentioned in Post 77 here is another possible solution

I've had Lollipop on my N5 for a week and while I do like the new design, something about it is draining the battery. With Kitkat I could go from 8am to 10pm most days without charging up the battery, but the same useage with Lollipop means I have to start charging it at around 3pm instead. 
Any suggestions for a decent battery saving app?

Juice Defender is pretty good
Yeah, mine was pretty much unusable and I was thinking of trying to go back to a previous version but I did a factory reset and now it's just about OK. I lost my 2048 high scores but other than that it wasn't too painful.
Interestingly it's fixed a few battery issues too (slow charging, fast drain, etc..)
Lollipop is still a pile of pants though, even when you get used to it. I now have a tablet trying to be a phone.

I can only see videos for putting the new version on not off, although I guess the process is the same, but wouldn't I lose everything I have saved?

Why did Google release lollipop with so many bugs? You people who are still waiting for the update are the lucky ones. I'm really pissed off that my phone that was working fine is now buggy, randomly slow and draining the battery like a running tap.

The battery thing on the N5 is a real issue here. My wife's a light user and is moaning about it. I'm plugging my phone in at any opportunity.
I use Google Play Music because you can put lots of tunes in the cloud as well as phones, so it plays nicely with our other android devices and putting tunes on the TV through chromecast

She uses that app loads actually, hopefully they'll fix it. It was fine for her on KitKat though.

Uninstall it for a day to confirm, its something to do with how it interacts with WiFi IIRC
What I've heard is that its only on Lollipop that it has this issue due to changes in the Wifi API.

This sounds like it could be the problem. She's sat at home all day at the moment, as she's 9 months pregnant, so her phone is hooked up to the wifi all the time. I don't think she'll let me uninstall one of her connections to the outside world for a day

You would have to be a very brave man
Yes, process for installing any version is mostly same. And you would lose pictures etc if they are only saved on the device. Do you have backups?
My N5 might have to go back to kitkat as well. Nothing catastrophic but slowness and instability are an issue.

I still haven't received lollipop 5 on my nexus 7 let alone a 5.0.1

It's buggy on my N9 now. I'm not happy with it. Random reboots constantly occurring and ram issues are happening.
BTW has anyone ever successfully received an MMS message on an N5 using hangouts, because I have a load waiting, but they refuse to download, even connected to 4g.

It's more stuff in apps I was thinking of, there are some books and stuff but I could back then up. Thinking about I don't think there is anything I am too bothered about really. I think it needs doing, but now I am worrying it won't work and will screw it up altogether.
