Anyone else having problems connecting the Nexus 5 to a hidden wifi SSID? Connects fine if I show the SSID, won't connect if I hide it. I've scoured the Nexus 5 settings and I don't see any setting relating to "connect even if SSID is hidden" or anything to that effect.

Can anyone with a Nexus 5 confirm whether or not theirs works with a hidden SSID?

Solved.
It will connect to a hidden SSID, but only if you hide the SSID first, then manually add that wifi network. If you unhide the SSID, connect the Nexus, then hide the SSID, the Nexus won't connect to it.
I'm guessing it's somewhat of a bug considering that I've never had a wifi device act like this.
