[Q] Intermittent Wi-Fi Issue on 5.0.1 topic

I have not seen a particular thread with this particular issue:
I am running Lollipop 5.0.1 on a Google Play Edition device (was properly converted to GPE).
Whenever the phone is idle (usually after a night of charging, I am getting the "!" near the Wi-Fi, meaning that the Wi-Fi connection is problematic. This is not true, and it fixes itself by toggling Wi-Fi Off/On. It is annoying since no notifications are coming through. In this particular screenshot, even the data has the "!". See the attachment for more details.

This happens often, but not in a way I can reproduce everytime. I've tried flashing the official GPE and the SkyDragon custom ROM, cleanly flashing them each time. It suggests that the problem lies in Lollipop itself, and not in something I did wrong. I've also tried reflashing the GPE radio.

Anyone having this problem and any idea of a fix?
Thanks.

Touch screen doesn't work when device woken up (Intermittent) topic

I've got an intermittent problem - sometimes when I wake the phone up, the touch screen doesn't work. It happens when I wake it up with the power button, when someone calls, or when an alarm wakes up the screen. That means when the problem happens, I can't answer the call, or turn off the alarm (sometimes locking the screen and waking it up immediately works).

It doesn't seem to be affected by whether or not the phone is or has been charging, whether it's been in my pocket or the temperature of the device. I've not been able to discern a pattern at all. Once the phone is unlocked and the touchscreen is working though, it works perfectly. The problem never returns while I'm using it, only if I lock it, and only sometimes.

If I leave the screen on while touch is unresponsive, I can tell when it is responsive to touch again by a line that quickly flashes along the top edge of the screen. At that point, the screen operates entirely normally.

In what may be a related item, when I'm on a call, sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work properly and the screen turns back on and starts working. I get off the call and find my phone in a different app.

Does the Nexus 5 use the proximity sensor while the screen is off as a way to weed out unintended touches while the phone is in a pocket?

I'm going to try and store it face up over the next couple of weeks and see if the problem continues, but I was hoping that someone might have some insight.

About the phone:
I cracked the screen over the summer and had it replaced, but I didn't have any issues with it at all until I installed Lollipop. 5.0.1 hasn't made a difference
