Help Nexus S Problems

Can anyone shed some light on the issue I'm having? My nexus s after a while and I mean a while of sitting there not being used goes completely unresponsive to the point that I have to pull battery and reset! I've tried different Rom's and continue to experience same thing! It was working fine until a few days ago! I've wiped data and cache and davlik cache thru cwr and still have same problem. If anyone has had this issue and can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Time to start looking at apps that might be running amok.
Maybe install a log collector and leave it running and autosaving, then review post-problems to see if anything stands out as crashing the system.
It's painful, but a Factory Reset might be your best recourse, then re-consider what apps, kernel and rom you're using and put back on a few at a time to isolate in groups what may or may not be causing issues.

thank you for your quick response, i've tried factory rest to no avail, i quess i will start with the apps and slowly monitor them.

i'll go a little more drastic...
wipe the phone factory reset
then re-install apps that are known to be safe, and then monitor it

ALL GAMER in the process of doing that now, thanks for advice. Will report back findings! Fingers Crossed!

Extremely glad you posted this!
I have been having the exact same problem since the past 10 days, and it has gotten extremely frustrating. I use my phone as my main alarm, and I ended up going late to work a couple of days back because my phone had completely shut off. I performed a factory reset yesterday, and the same thing happened this morning. I leave my phone on and charging with the wall charger, so now I'm beginning to suspect if there's something wrong with the charger or the battery. I've registered a ticket with Samsung but i'm reluctant to send it in, because I've babied my phone and wouldn't like an misuse or scratches on it from being in the repair shop.
Please help! I love my Nexus S, and i'm running Stock 2.3.3 GRI40.

Hi, I have bad news for you guys.
there are already thread for this issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986181
And Google help forum here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=44db6d8e31129d4c00049e3b2a6db4d1&hl=en
Please go to those and post comments as there are more and more of us with this problem. We've also got some sort of response from Samsung via Twitter - supposedly they are looking into this.
Also, flashing phone does not seems to help, but please go to those threads, its all there.

Just wanted to update on how my problem was going. I've tried everything you guys suggested but still experiencing the same thing. It's seems like it's a hardware issue from what I read from the previous posters post! I brought the best buy protection plan so they are sending me a new one! I think this is the only resort to anyone experiencing this issue. They gave me a loaner phone which is done lg piece of sh*t, man am I having withdrawals! I don't know if this issue was caused due to excessive flashing or not! I hope not cause that would definitely suck. I've only had the device for 3 months!

[Q] Moto g screen response issues

Hey all. I've gotten good responses here before so I figured I'd come back.
Right, well, I've had a Moto G for not too long now, so I was surprised when I woke up this morning and there were huge latency issues on the screen. About a 3/4 of a second delay. It was working perfectly the other day, and I'm confused. My phone has never had root access and still doesn't. The strangest things I've noticed when using a screen tester app is that only when one finger is down is there latency. Two to five fingers is as fast as it should be.
And also, the soft buttons are working fine, the ones down the bottom.
So if anyone can tell me what's wrong, or perhaps what I should do to correct this phone killing problem, I would be thrilled.
(PS. I've noticed a dead pixel at the top right of my scree. Perhaps they are related issues?
Thanks again for any or all help! ^^

Its always a good place to start. Could just be some background app data causing havoc.

hmmm...
Mmkay, I reset the phone, and nothing changed. Still getting the latency, even just from moving around the home screen.
Any other suggestions?

That sounds like it could be a hardware issue then. There wont be any software changes you can make to fix it if a factory reset didn't help.
You may have to warranty the thing.
Is it through a carrier or did you just buy it outright?

Oh man I'm really sorry about this, not replying. I fixed it with factory reset but keeping my SIM in the machine.
Thank you xD

[Q] apps force close and keyboard won't come up

Hi guys,
I've had some problems with my phone and I really don't know what's wrong. I know very little about technology so I was hoping someone here could tell me what's wrong. The keyboard of my phone (motorola moto g) often won't come up; Apps also keep closing automatically, especially the chrome app does that a lot (pretty much after half a minute of browsing). Does anyone know what's wrong and what I can do about it? And thanks for taking the time to read this!

If i was you i would just back up your data and factory reset the device. No need to hassle and fix the problem when you can just backup your images in 5 minutes and reset the device and be back up and running today.

Screenshots

Nobody can help with so few information. At least mention your Android version, if you are stock / rooted / if you have crappy apps like FB, and so on...

Sorry, just noticed ibposted this in the nexus 5 rather than 5x. Please ignore

Greetings and welcome to assist. The call/text problem sounds like a apn issue but no idea about the battery drain I'm afraid. I would start by reinstalling the stock firmware and see if that helps. There is a thread here that should contain it
