Didn't see many other new threads here, hope this one is ok. After updating to 7.1.1 OTA a few weeks ago, my N5X has been experiencing extremely heavy lag and freezing - everything from opening apps, going into Chrome, opening the app menu, etc etc. 20-30 second freezes, even up to a minute or two before the phone responds (it's a long time if you're just staring at your phone screen waiting for it). The subsequent OTA security patch that came through seemed to help things a little, but it's still quite frustrating. Is it just a bad OTA install? Is there a current easy way to retry an OTA install without having to wipe my phone? I'd rather not lose my data and info. I'm a Mac user, for whatever it's worth. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Should also note that this is my second N5X, my original died to a fatal Nougat bootloop in October - this one is the refurbished replacement from Google. Not very happy with it - poorer battery life, a spot of dead pixels on the lower left of the screen, has never been as quick or responsive.
EDIT2: Also in the last several days noticing that the freezes are getting slightly less frequent, but longer; now usually at least 60 seconds.
