What's up xda forums.had a couple of concerns with my phone. my nexus s stock running 2.3.2 rooted and unlocked. Here are some of my issues so far
While driving and on the phone, sometimes the call drops after making a nasty sound and stays stuck on the hanging up screen and I can't make or receive a call till I reboot.
When turning the phone off sometimes and turning back on, the screen hangs for a while and 4 seconds later ill feel the phone vibrate 2-3 times and go back to normal in which its not lagging.
When opening my gallery the phone takes about 5 seconds to show me my thumbnails of my photos.it does this every time. Also when I take pictures it takes about 10 seconds to see the photo I took. When talking on the phone I drop alot of.calls or I hear the person sound like a chipmunk lol.
Is my phone messed up? Is the stock rom messed up? I flashed a stock image thru clockwork after I tried a alpha cm7build. Was it corrupted or is my phone a pos. My nexus one never gave me this many problems.
Any help would be great

Well, yeah, most of your problems have been mentioned by someone here at one point or another. Some of them have workarounds, some are waiting for fixes from Google.
I think if you try a few searches with the search button in this and the General section you'll find already lengthy discussions on most of those issues.
These problems started after you flashed back to stock?
Try clearing caches and reflash I guess.

Maybe even a fastboot oem unlock again to force a TOTAL WIPE of the phone. Be careful, sdcard contents are wiped too.

The only major issue I've had only happened once, and it happened for the first time yesterday: Without me touching the back button it started flashing and going back through the app I was in at great speed. It was rather frustrating but its only ever happened the one time.
What some people forget is that the Nexus One also had a lot of problems apon release,
All was ironed out by google

Im gonna try this right now. thanks for your help
I was able to make one of the problems repeat.. seems cause of the case i have everytime i hit the power button my thumb seems to hold down the volume rocker right in the middle. i then unlock the phone while its still tying to catch up from something.. cause 4 seconds later it will vibrate 2-3 times and the phone is back to reg speed.. there something wrong with my rom or can ya make this happen too?
Yup I get most of these issues too, it really spoils the experience. Next time I'm not gonna get a google phone straight upon release, it's really not worth the hassle. Also does anyone have problems with the wifi? Mine is horribly weak its a joke, struggles with wifi from my bedroom which my laptop and old Iphone 2g handled fine

I've only had the phone for less than 24 hours and I'm ready to send it back. Someone help me out please.
My phone keeps shutting down randomly. I rooted, installed CWM (Yes the nvFlash), Installed Evils ROM from the dev section.
The phone shut down right before bed last night and it must have done it sometime through the night because I had to restart it in the morning. Today it turned off a couple of times and my logical thought was that it was the ROM.
I switched over to EaglesBlood 1.0.5 hoping it would be a little more stable. It took a little longer, but it still shut completely off.
Nevermind the battery life I just want it to stay on. I'm no genius, but I'm pretty decent with ADB and terminal if I can fix it. Let me know if I'm overlooking something.
this phone has several issues. check the rest of the forums. what you are experiencing is one of them and it only gets worse from here.....

I've read most of the issues. I was hoping there was a way to fix it. I talked to a customer service rep at the Tmo store today. He said there is supposed to be an update released by the end of the month.
I rooted so I never have to worry about releases. Usually Cyanogen and his team are all over this kind of stuff. (Cue G1)
I really wanna know why it's doing it and how to fix it.
You by chance have an app that flashes the home buttons as a notification? When I deleted that, my random shut offs dropped...
Is it shut down? Or is the screen black? I get the occasional black screen... if you hit the power button the screen gets a little brighter... if it's that you can just do a hard reboot, power+volume up

Still not working
Okay I think this will help out. I'm been trying different ROM's for a couple of weeks now in an effort to get this to stop this is what's happening.
1. The phone shuts off completely and you need to pull the battery out to get it to turn on with the power button.
2. The phone turns off during a call or during use and starts up again with the boot animation.
3. Shuts off while charging in the middle of the night or while on the car charger.
What app needs deleted or removed? How do I do it? I'd like to post the solution up for anyone having this same problem.

Download this Rom. It is based off of the GB update from LG and lets you keep root. It may solve your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158513

I'm flashing this ROM now. I'll try running it for a few days and see if I get any improvements.
I hit the thanks button. I'll post what happens.
I am getting the same problem with my G2x randomly and whiles its charging and I have tried roms CM7 Nightly, EaglesBlood, Trigger, and MIUI but all start shutting off sooner or later. Tell me if that rom fixes yours.

not necessarily. never had a single reboot until the new baseband and rom combo I am running now. now i seem to lock up every time i take the phone off a full charge in the morning.
Another company to add to the "I will never buy a phone from this manufacturer again" category.

If you added a company for every time they had a flawed product, you'd end up making your own electronics.

Try going into your camera and taking a picture. Don't ask me why, but for some reason this works. And it worked for me.
I'm in the same boat. Any suggestions?
I am on 1.12.30 and I now have the same issue.

I also had this issue I don't have a solution but if you do manage to get the screen up by some means I would suggest remapping the power button to one of the volume keys at least temporarily if you're rooted. You can either do it manually with root explorer or this app- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 This has worked fine for me on every rom up until ICS.

haha that's exactly what I said when I first read it. but I wasn't joking - it actually works haha. glad it helped!
Same thing happened to me after I moved to Miui 1.12.23. Ive done lots of searching and everyone just says its a broken button. I find it awfully coincidental. I have since moved to cm7 nightly 181 (i think). And the problem carried over. Not sure a fix. CM has a feature to have the vol buttons wake the screen which has been great. I am still able to use the power button in recovery so I dont know what the deal is or the fix....
the camera thing worked but only temp.
Hey guys so my xoom has been good for over year but suddenly within the last 6 months something funny has been happening. Sometimes when i press the power button at the back the xoom refuses to wake up. And i can keep pressing all i like but it just wont wake up. At times i wait for about 10 minutes and it will work again, but other times i have to soft restart it. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Mine started doing the same thing at about 6 months as well.
It would restart with a reboot with the power button and vol up, but not with just a press of the power button alone.
Luckily it was still under warranty and the repairer replaced the motherboard.
It has been fine for several months now.
Hope yours is still under warranty as well.

Noticing the same on EOS Stable. Very rare, but happened once or twice. May be worth flashing another ROM and seeing if the issue persists.
Regards.
Don't get it on the nightly builds. They are generally very stable, but lately it has a few issues with lag and audio.
I'm using CNA ROM and happened one time or two only... But it was because I was performing many operations at the same time, so it was really slow. If happens too constantly I'd go to Settings>Developer Options>Don't keep activities (check that) and Background process limit changed to "At most 1 process" or "At most 2 processes", you'll loose some of the Multi-tasking but it will be better...
All the best,
your friend - XxLordxX

I'm just not seeing this - my latest mods have made it faster than ever for me, and by extension, should be for everyone else, too ...
When it has happened to me, there has generally been something intensive happening in the background, so the theory posted above may ring true. It may also be worth upping your min processor speed to 312Mhz or experimenting with different governors and seeing if that helps.
Regards.

Maybe so, but I was strictly speaking about those nightlies where everyone was having issues. I guess it was fixed before I even realised. lol
Just to report, switching to CM from EOS cured my sleep/wake issues. Issue most likely resides with the EOS kernel. Obviously all hardware is different, so this doesn't affect all users.

Hi everyone...
I hope you will understand my problem because i'm getting crazy here...
So I have a Nexus 5 on CM12 official right now, but my problem already occurred on 5.0 Lollipop stock and unroot...
So here is the problem...
The problem can occurred either when i'm using the phone or when its locked.
1) When I use it, the power menu pops up by itself (just like if i was pressing the power button, but i'm not) and it restarts by itself... Then it boots up again, and does that over and over again... If i try to go away when the power menu pops up, it works for 2 sec and then the power menu comes back over and over...
2) If it's locked, either it turn the screen on and then does the same thing than above, or it just restarts the damn thing without anything on the screen...
I don't know if it's clear enough... But i'm getting really angry at this... So if you can't help me, i guess i will to go ahead and by the Nexus 6...
thank you all for your help !
You're power button is stuck. You need to seek service, or Google how to fix/replace it yourself.
Good luck!
No it's not...
I can still use it when i want it... And it doesnt happen all the time... It could be good for 2 days, and then do it again...
Plus, it's like the phone is pressing the screen it self... Since its not because you press the power button that it re starts...

I have to agree with darth, sounds like a power button to me too. You said it happens on stock as well as custom roms so it's sounds like hardware not software.
Hey, @Darth when did you become a forum moderator? Congrats man!

I still bet then that it's a wonky power button. It may not act up all the time.
Flash a clean stock image or even another rom. If it's the same, it's the button. Or another hardware issue anyway.
It's the power button. It's a common issue with the N5.
