Nexus S freezes randomly - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a unlocked and rooted Nexus S i9023 bought around last week. Since then, I have experienced my phone freezing a couple of times already.
It happened to me at least 2 times on stock rom. And another 3 times on custom rom.
It freezes not during usage but during sleep mode. There will be times when I try to use my phone and I realised I cannot 'unsleep' it. All the 4 buttons at the bottom will be lighted up even in sleep mode. So usually when I see all 4 buttons lighted up in sleep mode it usually means it's frozen already.
Is this a common issue for Nexus S? Or am I the only one facing this problem?
Is there anyway to solve it? Or it is a hardware problem and I need to send back for repair?
Thanks for everything in advance

Are you on Android 2.3.3?

Yes I am. On GRI54 to be specific.

It just froze again. This time with WIFI tethering on.
When it froze, I realised I can still surf the website i'm currently on (which is xda-developers) but i cannot surf any other websites. Such as google etc. My laptop still shows that its connected to wifi after it froze though. Just that I can only surf one website.

Hi There,
Mine did this before but never on stock. I found going into recovery then Formatting Cache/Data/System and Dalvik cache then flashing the ROM solved it for me.
Another time I've noticed this is when I overclock the processor too much.

Mine happened on stock before, without overclocking.
Before I changed to custom rom (SuperAOSP), I wiped data/cache/dalvik cache
And the problem still arose.

It could well be hardware related then, try doing the above as I mentioned and see if it fixes it (it won't wipe your sd storage unless you select that option) if it doesn't I'd suggest you get a replacement

Will try that again and see if it works. Thanks.

there is a thread already that I believe describes your problem in more detail here:

Also here, same problem:

Google and Samsung seem to be ignoring the issue.

My optimus 3d reboots by it self..

I have had this problem since it asked to update the other day so i let it update. And ever since that i can use it no problem but as soon as i leave it idle on the table or my pocket i hear the start up tone. I pull my phone out my pocket or of the table it has restarted.
I mean i can use it as long as i want not a problem but as soon as i leave it alone it keeps rebooting by it self a few times then stops until i next use it and put it away.
Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me..
I'm from the uk by the way thanks..
try another rom, or first try to clean the cache
Its the v10k rom. Does it to me too.

After update i have regular restarts, but i do recovery(soft reset and power+home+vol.down proc.) with data cleaning plus formatting internal sd, and now i didn't have any restarts form few days. Maybe try this, and let us know is it help, because many users of O3D has this problem.

I am running on v10J Australian Optus Stock, I have excactly the same problem as you, I have my wifi on always and that made it worse, I have read that by deleting the Cache and delvic cache that would fix the problem, I have done that last night by installing rom manager and did it that way, been 1 hour so far since I unplugged it from the charger and no reboots, yesterday it was rebooting nearly 3 times an hour. Also I downloaded an app called CPU Spy, it tells you the speed history of your CPU, I tried setcpu to stop the cpu dropping below 600 mhz thinking maybe that is the reason of the reboots, the thing is although I have setcpu on hotplug and never to go below 600 mhz, cpu spy is still reporting the cpu dropping to 300 mhz.
will post an update to tell if clearing the cache and delvic cache have fixed my problem.

Go to Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wi Fi Settings/Advanced (hit menu button)/Wi Fi Sleep Policy then change to "When screen turns off ".
That should stop the rebooting.

Is there any way to clean cache & dalvik without installing CWM recovery?

Unmount external SD card, remove it, then reboot. It's a workaround rather than a fix (as you're stuck with the 8GB internal storage), but I've had no reboots since doing this, compared to one every 2-3 hours on v10k before.

Well I had the same problem and had sent the phone to service. They changed the mainboard but the problem remained. This is an external sd issue as it happens only when there is an external card mounted. Now sent the phone for the second time indicating more details on the micorosd issue. Hopefully they will change it completely with a new one.

I removed the external card.. so i thought i'd format the internal one it says damaged internal card but it still works weird i think your right i'm going to ring up lg and have this sorted..
still rebooting
phone still rebooting, woke up this morning and the battery counter was on 45 minutes, which means the phone restarted 45 minutes ago (did refresh so now I took out the sd card to see how that goes, I have kingston Class 5 32 gig, if that is the case, this is bad news, being stuck with 8 gig which I only half 2 gig empty is a joke. Will give it a try before jumping to conclusions. will keep you posted.
Someone in other forum noticed that when turns on auto sync and background data may leads to the reboot as well. So I turn it off and since doing this, so far I have no reboot issue from yesterday.
I have also upgraded to v10K but I' ve had my phone randomly rebooting when idle even before that. I called the customer support service and they told me that it might be an incompatibility issue with my SIM card (I also had a problem with my SMS delivery report option being ghosted). They said that the card I had was 2.5G and I needed a true 3G card. So I followed their advice and got a new SIM card from my provider. I have no issues with the SMS delivery report now, but the random rebooting goes on...
I do hope that the Gingerbread update solves this.

Reboots = Restarts
Our phones restart by themselves! This is what this thread is about.
Dear Friends,
These issue occurs with latest 10j and 10k firmwares... If WIFI sleep policy is set to NEVER (always on) then you probably get random reboots... As mentioned previous post, you have to set WIFI sleep policy to WHEN SCREEN TURNS OFF (always off) in order to avoid random reboots... Till now there is no workaround for this issue and lets hope LG fix it in the next rom...
Kind Regards,

I took the phone to LG service center today, I was told that my Phone is faulty, that is why it is rebooting, they are going to replace the motherboard, I did ask the serviceman regarding the wifi issue in relation to the recent rom upgrade (10J), I was told that there is nothing wrong with 10J or 10K. Will let you know if the issue still exist after the repairs, the phone will be ready for pick up on Monday.

Well? What happened?
I set my wifi to sleep when the screen is off, but I still get reboots unless I manually turn it off (I have Viber installed and I suspect it keeps wifi alive to stay online, which makes perfect sense).

[Q] HELP: Motorola Triumph randomly restarts!

My Motorola Triumph keeps randomly rebooting and the battery goes from 90% to 7% suddenly sometimes. I had the phone for a week so far and the frequence of restarts is increasing. I don't have any task killer app.
Is it some software that I am using or it's a hardware issue? Do you think I should have the phone replaced by Virgin Mobile?

Try charging it all the way and using cwm to wipe the battery stats. That should fix the battery drain. The reboots I would try wiping Dalvik, cache, and last first data if the first 2 wipes don't help at all.

I just figured out the problem has to do with wifi. When I turn it off and use 3G instead the mobile becomes stable (so far). Is anyone facing the same problem or it's just me? Is there a fix?
Does it have a custom ROM on it? I've seen around the forums that there has been issues with the MT and wifi on the ROMs

No. But the frequency of the reboots increased after I re-installed the original MT stock ROM.
When I first bough the device it restarted once or twice a day. Now it reboots non stop unless I take out the battery. I re-installed the stock ROM from another source but the problem persisted. The problem goes away when I turn off wifi abut comes back when I turn it on.
Sounds like something to do with the kernel, not the ROM... maybe. I had horrible luck with any and all custom kernels for a long while. Although that's just my luck, might not be yours...
Looks like you had a problem from the beginning... Try everything stock, and if it's still there, return it... Wow my first post in years...
I know someone who had the same problem..
switched to the iPhone 4s...
Same here...
Me too...
I have this problem as well. I am going to try the CM7 mod to see if that goes away. I have also isolated it to WiFi.
Problem solved!

Wohooooooooooooo The problem DOES go away with CM7 beta 8 !!!! It's like magic!
Phone no longer reboots randomly
Wifi is stable and does not disconnect or cause the phone to reboot or the battery to heat up
And battery life improved 300%!!! I now charge it every other day with moderate 3g/wifi usage!
I had CM7 for three weeks so far and my frustration turned into happiness! It's just amazing how changing the software makes a HUGE difference!! Before CM7 I always felt like smashing my MT because of the hard time it gave me!
I followed the instructions on: http://www.motorolatriumphhacks.com/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as far as ive seen with both cm7 and cm9, random reboots houldnt be an issue anymore, but for other still having the issue it usually comes from about 4 things over the rest
1. faulty hardware, which normally isnt the case, if faulty hardware was the issue you'd probly be seeing more then random reboots, but its still possible
2. Rom didn't take correctly during flash, either by chance, or because the phone wasent properly cleared and now settings are "head butting"
3. Running a custom rom in which you can adjust the cpu and the settings are either to low or to high, both can cause reboots
4. Most common one ive seen by far outta them all, Apps, certain apps especially after some updates will "play tricks" on the device and for some reason cause reboots sometimes, usually the next update of said app will resolve the issue but not always, so if you find an app thats the culprit you can notify that apps developer
you can always try and go back to 100% stock and see if the issue is still there but if your like me you probly hate the stock froyo by now lol
It may seem painful or whatnot but unless you find exactly what may be causing the reboots the best bet overall would be
Do a complete Fresh install of whatever rom you use, dont flash anything besides the rom and gapps if needed, also dont restore any backups yet, just to be sure
Once the fresh new rom is booted i turn the phone off then back on for safe measures lol
Now if you can lol try running the phone with No aftermarket apps besides any/if any that came on the rom, if the problem is gone you know for sure here that it was one of your apps
then 1 by 1 install your apps and give it some time in between app installs to see if the problem comes back and hopefully this way if it does youll know which app is causing troubles
FAQ
To quote directly from my FAQ,
"Reboots on Android are a pain, and can be attributed to multiple sources. I’ve been able to successfully reduce the amount of reboots that I get, but never eliminate them… Anyhow, here’s some troubleshooting information:
1. Format SD card in Windows (back up your SD card data first!) Make sure you format to FAT32. Don’t try formatting it in Linux. I have done this before and the phone wouldn’t boot up!
2. Slightly overclocking prevents some freezes.
Under Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Performance overclock the max speed to around 1300-1400ish. This should speed the phone up, but not to the point of the thing overheating
3. Fix SD Card permissions. Do this by booting into Recovery (You can do that if you have this ROM installed) and go to advanced > Fix SD card permissions. Now reboot.
4. Do not use Firefox, except the Nightly builds. Firefox has went through drastic speed and performance improvements recently, but the older builds, despite being called stable, are so slow, they will make the phone freeze and reboot. Yes, this includes Aurora. UPDATE: All Firefox versions except stable (ironic, eh?) have been used by me personally and have not made my phone reboot. Make sure you’re on at least version 14. (This one doesn't apply as much anymore, I need to update my FAQ!)
5. Give the phone a break from time to time. After intensive gaming for hours on end, the phone will often reboot while exiting a game.
That’s all the tips I have. I managed to drastically reduce my reboots by doing these, but not eliminate them completely. I hope g60madman or mantera find some hidden timeout value in the kernel (if one exists, like the auto reboot on BSOD in Windows) and either lengthens the timeout value or disables automatic rebooting so if this is a kernel panic, we may see the debugging details and upload them to fix some crashes.
6. Make sure that you have the VM heap size set to be adequate enough. I recommend at least 24 MB, preferably anywhere from 32 MB and up if you want the phone to last a while without rebooting.
7. Sometimes a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe are needed to stop bootloops. Unfortunately, every once in a while, you may start getting bootloops. This usually due to some sort of corruption in the cache or dalvik cache. You can safely clear them through Clockworkmod Recovery without loosing any data, and this usually fixes the problem. If not, do a factory reset through Clockworkmod Recovery and reinstall this ROM."

Atrix 2 - Official ICS - running very very slow these days - Help!

Hello Guys!
I own an Atrix 2 and am currently on Official ICS. My phone was working fine all along.
Recently I've noticed that the phone runs extremely slow many times. I have to power off & on many times a day to keep it functioning properly.
It is mostly sluggish these days and I don't understand why. I tried uninstalling recently installed apps but, nothing seems to be helping.
This is my first Android phone and am lost!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.

IF you think you phone is giving poor performance on official ICS then why don't you try custom roms . Read/Research on MIUI and I think you will get best performance. BUT READ TILL YOU UNDERSTAND EVERY ABOUT COUSTOM ROMS.

Hi,
What you are saying may be correct however, the same phone was performing superbly on Official ICS for around 6 months. It's been a few weeks that the phone has become sluggish.
I need to find out the root cause for this and rectify that.

You could try wipe cache...
Turn off the phone and then press and hold at the same time: the Power button, Vol up and Down Key until the bootloader screen comes up
Volume down to recovery and than hit Volume up to select
When the Android with the the Red Triangle appears push the vol up and down button together
Scroll to clear cache partition and push the power button
Wait for it to clear and than choose reboot once complete by pushing the power button.
It might be some rogue app.. Try uninstalling any app you installed recently.. Worst case, backup all apps and data, try a factory reset.. After that, restore only the apps you really need.. One by one when you get time and find out what was causing the problem..

Try downloading a Cache Cleaner like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.cache.cleaner. You could also make a titanium backup of all your apps and do a factory reset.
You might also try and do a FXZ and start over. It seems odd, sometimes that fixes all of the little oddities that pop up including slowness that shows up out of nowhere.
I faced the same problem a month ago. Opening Messages, Settings, EVEN PICKING CALLS, took 7-15 secs.
Turned out it was Android OS/ the Kernel. Whenever the WiFi status changed and some other reasons, the Android OS seemed to take 100% CPU usage for about 1-3 min. Also sometimes I had other processes such as kworker2, kworker3 and others. It took me many apps such as Watchdog, Systempanel, etc to find it out.
Even still I got tired and did a Factory Reset, Rooted it and installed Another ROM. Now its Working fine.
My suggestion would be a Factory Reset (Dont forget Backup if you need to). :good:
Tried the clear Cache Thing as well as uninstalled most of the apps which I never use. Phone started functioning good for some time.
But, now again the same thing.
Thinking about FXZ now. What is FXZ and how do you do it?
Factory reset I can consider but, does it really help?
I notice that the sluggishness starts when WIFI is on and the phone is connected to my home WIFI.

Go to your wireless settings and "Forget" the home wifi connection. Reboot your router and phone, then sign back in to your WIFI.
If you are thinking about FXZ, then you might as well try the FDR first.
Start here and read and read again:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20389449
If you decide to go the FXZ route, please ask and confirm which firmware to use with your Atrix2. Many BRICKED their phones flashing the WRONG FXZ!

slow atrix2 - email trash folder
I was having the same issue - tried wiping the cache (both via the system and with various cache wiping apps). Eventually I would get a slow atrix2 again. I noticed that the trash folder for my pop3 email accounts did not clean itself up, so I did a select all and deleted the messages from the trash folder. This was thousands of trash emails. Three days later and my atrix2 is still snappy. I'm hopeful that this was the issue.

Issues after 4.4.3 update

Hello guys
I just finished updating my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it went fine but I immidiately noticed some "problems" when I turned it on. The thing is that my touch screen is not as responsive as before 4.4.3 update. On 4.4.2 scrolling was flowy and smooth like on ice, but on 4.4.3 I got big delay (half cm of emptiness) on scrolling through gesture (apps, home or anything..) and, even worse, when I'm scrolling down my Contacts list it dials randomly due to a lagging. Is there any calibration to be done or that's it?

It doesn't sound normal. Mine is working just as smooth as it was on 4.4.2. Have you tried wiping the phone? Do a factory reset and see.

issues here
my battery went from 19% to 0 over night.... in airplane mode. previously, it would only use 3-4% overnight, esp with everything turned off. almost woke up late
also, im having a hard time answering phone calls. i slide to answer, it doesnt answer but its still ringing
I noticed that there is a bunch of different problems reported last two days and I have decided to wait for Google's response on all of this mess. But I must say that my phone is working better now and somehow it heals itself )) Maybe this update is about implementing some organic components

I'm having a lot of issues with my phone.. Seems like an sd card issue. Ant app that uses memory does not work properly... Even the camera does not load...
I'm going to do a factory reset... Any way to save all settings on stock?

I also got a big issue on 4.4.3. since the update i get sponataeuos signal dropouts especially when i travel by bus or train.
It seams the radio has problems by logging out at one cell and switch to an other cell. Also the reception/signal is very weak.
Someone noticed the same? or does anybody has a tip?
thanks in advance :good:
Are you charging your phone simultaneously or is your phone connected to a laptop? remove that and the try. lemme know.

Go to settings > apps > locate google dialer and clear cache
For battery drain, install an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats (it's free demo version is available on XDA) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Observe your device for one day after complete charge (90+) and use it.
Using that app, you'll observe the apps/wakelocks which are causing unnecessary battery drain. Eliminate them or post screenshots here so that we can help you to solve battery drain issue.

I'm guessing OP's problem is related to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643097 but this is the first time I have heard the same for Nexus 5.
First thing to do if something is broken after an OTA is factory reset to see if it is an OS bug or whether you have incompatible data and settings.
It sounds like it would be a pain to do, but you can easily backup with helium nowadays so it needn't be

+1 - Clean wipe and see, it might fix all of your issues. Hopefully it does

Did you flash the userdata.img? If not, your data is still there and still possibly causing the issue.
GPS not Working
Has anyone else noticed if their GPS is working or not? I was trying to use mine last night and I can see that GPS connects and it brings up the map but then never navigates or even moves from the starting point on the map. Can someone let me know if this is a new problem??? I flashed the N5_4.4.3.zip file that someone pointed me to, as I had asked for a flashable zip file to update to 4.4.3 as I still have not gotten an ota notification from T-Mobile:confused
i have a question also,
what if i like the current mono toned google dialer?
when i get this update & it updates the dialer, is it possible to un-install the dialer update to revert back to the older dialer?

Yes I did. I flashed the image with the 'flash-all.bat' method which includes it [emoji17]

Nexus 5 stuck on "Turning wifi on"

Hello all, my old Nexus 5's wifi stopped working back in January for no apparent reason. Everytime I tried turning it on for some strange reason it just Grey's out. The MAC Address is also really weird. I tried looking for a solution but to no avail. I'm starting to think that it's a hardware issue. These are what I've done so far for the past 4 months or so:
- rebooted the phone
- wiped the cache
- wiped data using TWRP
- letting the battery drain and charging it again after a couple weeks
- smacking the back side on my hand (lightly of course)
Any help would be much appreciated. Also, it's not my primary phone anymore so I can't tell whether cellular connection would be working or not.
Just did a factory reset and wiped everything, still nothing. MAC Address is just a solid 2.00.000.00. Also, Bluetooth still works.
Try running a stock 4.4 or 5.01 rom. If the problem still exists, I'd say it's a hardware issue.

I flashed stock marshmallow but I couldn't find Lollipop or KitKat anywhere on Google's website, only marshmallow.

Keeps giving me an error Everytime I try flashing the latest KitKat/lollipop. Only marshmallow works
Hmm, I had a similar problem few months ago, tried flashing the latest stock firmware; didn't help and then moved back to a custom ROM. Strangely, it didn't work at that time too but kept the phone the same for an hour and out of nowhere it started working. Seems like the phone is really dying now.

What is the error? Did you try flashing each img file separately rather than using flashall?

Damn you got lucky then. I think mine is just a hardware issue, which is much worse.

Gives me an error about MDU or something like that. I'll send a screenshot in a bit
Still doesn't work for me. I'm gonna try taking apart the phone to see if the wifi chip is ok, hopefully it's not a hardware issue.
Same problem here, even on custom ROMs and factory images,
Is there any hardware solution? Maybe an external WiFi antenna or something like that?

Not that I know of unfortunately. Guess we'll have to buy a new Mobo for the phone
Hi guys! Since today I hopped on the "activating wifi" train too!
I'm on Lineage 14.1 CAF, and did a full wipe and flash, no changes.
I followed a guide in a post here on XDA to recreate the MAC address file, after that wifi worked for a couple of minutes, then went down again.
I thought about flashing MM stock image, but after reading your posts I think i'll keep my phone this way until I buy an OP6.
Luckily I have 15Gb of cellular data
What I did was I opened the phone and took out the motherboard and disconnected the battery from everything, then took out the heatsink that's on top of the wifi chip. It worked for a bit then it stopped working for good. It definitely has to be a software issue because Bluetooth is working fine.
It could be a hardware problem. I have two Nexus 5 motherboards where the wifi tries to turn on and, eventually, the slider goes back to the off position.

Damn, I guess I'll have to change the motherboard to get it working again. I might just sell it as is or for parts since it hasn't been my main phone for a while. But I did want to give it to my nephew...

MY Nexus5 got the same problem WiFi just stopped working suddenly. The mac got some stupid address like 2.00.00.00. I tried every thing still nothing. I have already rooted my nexus so tried different roms but issue still remains.
Then i just remembered about the ROM UBUNTU Touch i have installed it and WiFi in Ubuntu start working again with original mac address. I am currently using Ubuntu touch and didn't try to reinstall the android rom again.if some one try this and got WiFi working like me please inform me that if the WiFi still works if i reinstall android system.
If you want to download Ubuntu touch download it from ubports

Hi guys i have tested as mentioned before and reinstalled stock room after installing ubuntu my WiFi is working again perfectly :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: . Who has the problem of this kind should try doing this method it will reinsert or reset the mac address and get rid of the problem of the mac address of 2.00.00.00.00. and your original mac address will be restored. It worked for me hope it can help you also
