> As an aside, LineageOS seems to have been getting gradually more buggy on my Nexus 5X. 15.1 has the two issues above, plus Bluetooth music streaming is broken and crashes the music player. I have none of those problems with 15.1 on my nexus 5x, but I also make it a point to install the latest weekly updates and the latest vendor partition blob.

Maybe I set it up wrong, then? My basic install flow: - Get latest nightly build from lineageos.org - Get matching factory image from Google and extract vendor and radio images from it - Install TWRP - Do a full wipe of the phone - Install LineageOS, vendor image and radio image Then when an OTA update came out, I'd install it and update the vendor image manually if it complained. What'd I miss?

  That seems about right, and similar to what I do. Maybe it's a hardware issue? I also don't use the default music app for streaming music over bluetooth, so it could be an issue with that..

    Yeah, I assumed it was hardware (there's a known issue with some 5Xes with poor mic quality) but I've gone back to 14.1 and all is fixed, so meh. The only thing I really miss is the new power saving features and I can live with charging every two days instead of every three days.

      > I can live with charging every two days instead of every three days. Yea it's incredible how long the battery lasts on this device, compared to previous nexus devices (though I never owned a nexus 5..) I've only ever run lineageos on this thing and regularly get multiple days on a charge with light/moderate usage. I once took it on a 8 day backpacking trip where it was powered on but in airplane mode (to serve as camera and backup map), got out of the wilderness with something like 40% battery left. IMHO that really shows how much negative impact on performance google's shit has on a mobile device when it can last that long without it.
