Did you try to mute and unmute at the beginning of the call?
The symptoms that you describe sound quite familiar. There is a bug with the microphone in the phone app which starts it kind of muted. Thus it works but poorly. Then after muting and unmuting the sound is normal.
Edit: And of course I have exactly this problem too.
@htc_tattoo i think ive read about this before. also I was the victim of this behavior myself.
quick and dirty workaround: mute and unmute. this seems to fix the problem for the moment .
About the screen problem:
I had the same problem, when I was on the train and charging the N5 on the wall socket.
I think the problem was me charging on the Butt-Pants-Seat interface as well. As soon as I touched the protected earth wire of the socket (grounding myself) everything worked fine.
Later I realized that the shielding of the cable was broken. I replaced it and hence forth I didn't have problems any more.
No, don't change it. But if you changed it in the past, this problem, or at least something similar, might happen.
Had the same problem on my N5. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2271/nexus-5-update-to-ota-7-ends-in-recovery-solved
Did you change the /var/cache/apt/ directory?
OTA-7 update is here on my settings tab. Yeah!
After pushing the "Install" button the device reboots into recovery, shows the "installing updates" screen and finishes in the recovery menu.
After rebooting the version is still OTA-6 and the settings still shows the pending update. Not so yeah!
...
As I was writing this the typical "It can't be that petty thing" thought crossed my mind. And yes, it seems like my soft link from /var/cache/apt/ to /userdata/.... was inhibiting the update.
So I undid the link, restarted the installation, and now everything works fine.
I didn't retract my post, because there might be more wise guys like me who did the same thing and might run into the same problem.
I can't believe that after more than an hour of search requests I cannot find a solution to the simple problem: I installed pdfjs, and now I have to chose in filemanager what app to use to view a pdf. (And I don't see all apps there just pdfjs and Open Store,)
Simple question: How can I make it open the pdf by pdfjs by clicking on it? Or more generic: How do I change default apps?
@marc_aurel You're right. Sorry, I didn't have a shell open when I was writing my response and didn't remember that you had to "sudo su" or "sudo -i" first (as @matteo mentioned). I'd prefer this way as I would have a bad feeling about 777ing a directory permanently.
Besides that: Does it work now?
I ran into an annoying situation while trying to find a solution for my WhastsApp Problem (/topic/2219) in Terminal app using an external keyboard:
Sooner or later the prompt becomes almost as long as the line width and when arriving at the last line(s) of the screen the keyboard icon blocks the view on the text input. Forever.
It would be useful, if the Icon could be moved up. Therefore, if it blocks the view you could move the new line below it quickly by just hitting enter a few times and go on with your business.
I wouldn't want it to go away, because my mobile BT-Keyboard lacks a "|"-key (and more) therefore it would be great to be able to have the OSK pop up (which it doesn't do now) and go away if the icon is touched so I can type characters that are not on my external keyboard.
Thanks

I just flashed my Nexus5 to UT and of course ran into some problems. One of which was how to make a newly anbox installed Whatsapp (WA) import my msgstore.db.crypt12 .
The way recommended by WA doesnt work, as reinstalling WA erases the complete app directory structure.
Another problem for a behind the curtain android noob like me is: Where to put it. The key to the solution is: The folder to put it in doesn't exist yet after a fresh install.
Thus the tl;dr:
Other media should work the same, but I wasn't in that so far, therefore I didn't try it yet.
