Nexus 5 dying / Missed opportunity

[howardsiu]

It seems like my Nexus 5 is dying a slow death this couple of weeks. First it started to drain power over night and I have to keep it plug in to have a full charge for the next morning. Yesterday, it seems like it won't take a charge or it takes too long to charge to full.

I wish I took those Holiday offer and get the a LG G4, I will have to pay $200 instead of $49 now. Kicking myslef in the butt right now

Anyone had any problems with their Nexus 5? Does phone last only for two years now a days?

@howardsiu

If you are still under the 1 year manufacturer warranty you can always get it fixed by going to a Fido store so we can send it for repairs for you.

I'll send you a PM so we can look at the options together though.

Try a new charger, I did with my Nexus 5 and now charges fully, super fast and charge lasts

I have a few charger, you are right sme of them do charge faster. The problem is the battries drain. It doesn't make sense that the factory reset fixed the problem for about a week and it started again...

It was the Marshmallow update. I had a N5 and the same thing happened, battery life went to hell after updating.

Have you tried doing a factory reset and see if it helps? I would also suggest using a diffrent charger to make sure its not the charger causing isses also.
