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

Hi all,
Few days ago I used Odin to go back to the stock Rom.
Since then the buttons p, mostly the back button, are randomly pressed when I'm not touching them.
I tried to use Odin again, flashed other roms and even restored the system to a Rom that worked fine, but the problem repeats in all of them.
Any ideas?
Tnx

Bad Hardware= warranty replacement.
This isn't the right place for this, but you can emulate something like this for pointless fun. Try running this command:
adb shell monkey 3000
and marvel as your phone flips out.
I have the same problem I saw a thread a while back saying that the problem stems from moisture in the phone

Interesting thing about the moisture, would explain why my phones search button will do this for 1/2 - 2 days and then stop for 1-2 weeks at a time.

ya I have the same thing with my search button. But it will press in storms of 10+ which is annoying but not as bad as home or back

I had it happen on my first Captivate with the back key, it actually freaked out so much the phone was unusable . As long as it can be reproduced they will replace it no questions asked. Just make sure you are on stock and have done a master clear.
Edit: this was without any moisture issues, before snow hit etc
I have the same problem when using 2.1 then flashed 2.2 and zero problem. you can try flash to fix it.
Hi, I started having similar problems. But with my Power button only. It doesn't press by itself, but when i press it sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. BUT it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem because the first time it happened, i tried reflashing the kernel and everything was back to normal again, after 2 months here comes the problem again. I was able to fix it after a Hard reset using *2767*3855#, but later on i decided to do a factory data wipe and the power button key started going bonkers again. So I tried doing the hard reset trick to try and fix it again, but sadly this time it didn't work. I also tried flashing back to stock, master clearing, wiping cache and dalvik cache, wiping data. Trying to bring everything back to stock. But the problem still persists, I can't find a solution. Is there some code that I can't seem to reset that's causing this kind of problem. Hope someone can help me. My phones unusable and it's making me go crazy trying to find the problem and fixing it

The fact that it comes and goes probably means it is a hardware problem and not a software problem

I was having the same problem with my home button. I tried everything above to fix it. The only thing that has worked so far is updating my phone to stock 2.2 using kies. My home button was acting up 2 to 3 times a day and now it hasnt acted once yet.

But wouldn't it make sense if the moisture also left the phone? The only thing that made up my mind of it being hardware was flashing to stock and having the search button click continuously immediately. I have had the problem on and since october. Usually once a month for a couple of days. I let it sleep in a rice bowl when it acts up

Ok so my phone just started doing this one day while I was running Cognition 4.x Don't remember the exact version. I then switched over to Firefly on version 2.7 and kept updating all the way through 3.0. It was doing it on firefly too.
It got pretty bad a few weeks ago so I started messing around with BLN and the haptic feedback. After cranking the haptic feedback up it seemed to quit doing it as much. For example before I started messing with stuff every time I turned the screen on the home button would go nuts till I pressed it several times. After I messed with the haptic feedback it would only do it about 1 out of every 5 times I'd turn the screen on.
Well tonight I flashed from firefly to 2.3, I'm running GR-9 and TalonDEV 0.1.3 and it hasn't done it at all tonight. It'll probably start after I post this, but so far so good on Gingerbread.
I don't know if any of that will help anybody else, but thought I'd throw my experience with it out there. If it starts acting up I'll post about it.
So I've been experiencing these weird bugs over the past couple months on many different ROMS and what not. Here's what happens:
1- Sometimes (I'd say every three days) when I power up my phone it boots and shows the homescreen but it's extremely laggy for about 30 seconds, it vibrates for about 3 seconds then acts normal.
2- Random parts of the screen become unresponsive. This happens daily, for example, when typing a text I can hit the t, f, h, and b keys but for some reasons the g will not respond. If I hit any other key it will vibrate as I have it set to do, but not the g, it will not vibrate or enter the letter in the text. And it isn't always the g, it changes letters each time.
3- The vibration feedback on the letters lag or go off an on. If I type a few words quickly it will vibrate maybe every other letter or not at all then catch up with one long vibrate.
These aren't major but they can be annoying. Any help will be much appreciated!
Bump. Anyone? Now everytime I text some of the letters are unresponsive and the phone vibrates erratically.

I've had about 6 different ROMs over the past few months and it has only started happening the last month or so. I just restarted my phone and now everything is back to working fine. I thought maybe it was glitching because of water damage but the indicator on my battery is white as ever. Could it be something I installed?

Very possibly. I just got done removing an app that started messing with my head, by way of weird **** happening with the keyboard.
Thing is, I hadn't yet run the app even once, but it decided to install itself as a service, nonetheless.
I had to check running services to figure out it had loaded without me even giving an initial run of the app.

I had similar issues when I first got the phone with the stock Rom before rooting or flashing roms. After I started flashing I never had the problems again. I recently went back to stock for the ota and the problems were back.

I've experienced this. I'm stock, but a thorough wiping of the area with a cloth (or shirt) made it responsive again. Weird, I know.
Try doing a FULL wipe before installing a rom.
I have had the same type issues in the past when trying to short cut and not do a full wipe first. The Full Wipe 1.3 makes it very easy and it seems most of the little bugs you are describing go away.
I for one will never flash a rom without doing a full wipe. The time saved troubleshooting is so well worth it!
Let me know if you cannot find the tool....

Seriously. Every single dev recommends a full wipe prior to a new flash.
I've seen it mentioned often by devs that 99% of all problems people encounter are caused by left over **** from the previously installed rom, not to mention countless instances of "wiped this or that and reflashed...problem went away" by members in the rom threads.

I am very desperate here in regards to one issue that I have. My phone keeps reducing the brightness on the screen due to overheating. My phone is not even hot. The problem is that I can't even go back to full brightness. I have to wait for a while to do that. But then, I work a little with the phone and BAM does it again. Are you guys having the same issue that I am having?. I have the phone to maximum brightness with auto brightness off. I asked on different forums and no answer as of yet. I already exchanged the phone and I am still having the same issues with my second phone.

Replied as well in the other post.
Are you running widgetlocker? That seems to overheat the phones by running the cpu into the ground
No sir. Not running widgetlocked. Funny thing i just watched an entire movie that i purchased through the media hub and the brightness was never an issue. But here I am surfing and checking youtube clips and it happended again.
My god. It keeps doing it. I cant believe nobody has the same issue I have. 2nd phone and as soon as Frys has more in stock I will be getting my third. I love this phone and I will not give up until I have a working one. But if anyone knows of how to fix this issue please let me know. Thank you so much.
I had the same problem. Backed up all my data and did a factory reset. I'm not sure what app it was but I've heard widgetsoid & widget locker are the ones that cause the processor to constantly run at full power making the phone overheat. After my restore my phone was back to normal.

Don't restore any apps yet or downliad anything. Just use it regular stock for a few hours and see if it heats up. If not its a buggy app using all of your resources.

I only have this happen while having my infuse mounted on the dash while driving. it happens when the phone is charging, screen cranked up all the way, using google navigation turn by turn, has bluetooth on, and is streaming music from google music. Haven't had it happen during normal use at home. The phone mounted on the dash doesn't help with the heat since it's being hit by such strong heat from the sun. I'm also using the barely there case by case mate and it is always pretty cool to the touch with brightness all the way up and wifi on. Don't know If that helps. I'm loving my phone though.

Same issues on my phone, maybe it happens to all of them..
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.

Hey Everyone,
I am having some issues with my Nexus S (GSM). This does not happen on the stock rom but it seems to happen on any rom I flash and it becomes very annoying. The phone would be operating normally and out of nowhere it stutters and becomes extremely slow for about 5-10 seconds after it which it vibrates twice and back to normal again. I have also noticed that if the phone is idle it almost always goes through the slow process once I start it up.
If I increase the cpu to 1.2 ghz or higher the problem seems to appear more often.
I am hoping someone will help me fix it because the problem is extremely annoying when it happens during voice calls as it cuts out and the other person cannot hear me. If not I guess I will have to sell it.
Anyone have any solutions or has the same issues?
I think I had the same problem from time to time, but only when I was using a case on my phone.
I would unlock the screen and the device would be super slow for a few seconds, then I'd get a couple of quick vibrations and it would be back to normal.
My guess was that the case was pressing one of the buttons in (maybe volume?) while unlocking and it somehow caused the retardation.
I haven't seen that problem since removing the case -- though maybe it was a coincidence and I'm using a different rom that fixed it? Not sure.
In any event I'm using NSCollab 1.0.39 if you want to give it a try.

I already have tried and still no success. Usually when i restart the phone it fixes it temporarily but it comes back after some time.
I wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache every time I flash a new rom. So yes it is a fresh install...
