I have a weird problem with my GF's inspire where her GTalk won't open anymore. If you click on the app the screen just flashes and boom your back at the home screen screen.
We've cleared the cache and stuff so that's all greyed out now. You can force stop, but that doesn't seem to actually well fix anything. She also doesn't appear to have low amounts of space either.
She's currently running the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, and she didn't have this problem till just this week.
Any ideas?

Is her phone rooted?
She hasn't rooted her phone yet no.
Sounds silly I know, but she has tried rebooting phone with "FastBoot" turned off? It can be found in the main settings under the "power" section.

Actually I saw this recommended when I was Googling for a fix, but I forgot to try it when I was hanging out with her last night. I'll try it tonight and post back with results thanks!
Okay turning that off seems to have fixed at least the GTalk issue with her phone anyways. Thanks XDA people!

Over the past day i have realised that the screen will not stay turned off!
This has only started recently and i am trying to eliminate hardware.
Once i turn it off the screen stays off for around 5secs then flicks back on permanently, i have eliminated a faulty button as it doesn't switch back off at any point?
I have uninstalled every app except default
I have wiped and reinstalled cm30 about 6 times!
Anyone have any clues? Really frustrating!
Try to do factory reset and back to stock.
And see if the problem is coming.
If not, then your custom rom might be the culprit.

Here's a 2.3.1 blank nandroid image thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093
There might be others in the development section.
Hi everyone,
I searched before I posted, but couldn't find a similar issue.
I'm running Cognition 3.04, and touch input seems to freeze up. If I let the screen go to 'sleep' and unlock the phone it will work for a few seconds, then start freezing again. Sometimes I can just wait a couple seconds and it will accept input. Even after a reboot, it will start this behavior after a few minutes.
The issue goes away when I go back to stock 2.1, though.
I realize the obvious solution is to stay with stock, but I was just curious if anyone else had experienced this and knew of a better solution (who wants to be on stock).
Thanks in advance.
That has happened to me before. Went away with a fresh flash and wipe of cache.

You didn't restore system data when you flashed this, did you?

The first time I flashed, I did that which I later realized to be a huge mistake. When this issue started, I flashed back to stock did a master clear and reflashed Cog, but the issue remains. Is there some step I missed in clearing out the old stuff?
This happens to me in swype occasionally. Super annoying bc it thinks I am taking my finger off the screen when I am not causing swype to be worthless. after a reboot it goes away

I haven't played with anything other than flashing Cognition onto the phone.
I'm going to try going through the whole thing again, but this time not reinstalling any old apps/data through Titanium Backup. I'll set everything from scratch and see if that makes a difference.
Recently put ViperXL on and took updates now its ViperXL 3.2.5, put kernel 3.4.10-ElementalX v5.0 vanilla on, flashed radio 2.41.,S-OFF.. Now the screen at times becomes unresponsive like when deleting apps,touch the app , it opens but it wont move or delete.IF I reboot, the screen behaves like it should for an unknown period then problem starts to repeat itself untill rebooting again. Another issue I noticed lately before flashing Viper is in TWRP , especially when rebooting, tapping the reboot button it wont respond for a short period,I might have to tap several times to get reboot to happen. I am wondering if I put too much on the system or might it be something internal?

delay with twrp reboot is normal. issues with custom kernels are pretty common as you are pushing your phone beyond spec and making the phone do things it wasn't really designed to do. imo the screen freezing is due to s2w but i could be wrong. i think you can turn s2w off in elemental, try turning it off and see if you still get freezing.
could be.

This could be the trick. I tried this morning and so far today there hasn't been a hangup on apps. I tried a couple and everything as usual. But this has been a intermittent thing not knowing when or how it would happen.
Yeah I have found some of the Venom tweaks really affecting responsiveness. For example if you could figure power long press to turn on the flashlight it takes NOTABLY longer to wake the phone. I can see s2w having the same effect
Here I thought I was the only one experiencing this issue. I did a full wipe and format and flashed a bone stock (default configuration) flash of ViperXL to see if that would solve the issue. Screen issue doesn't occur as often as before bit it still happens. I found that if I block the light sensor, the screen begins to behave normally. I don't have a logcat yet but can upload if necessary.

Just got a replacement N5 from Google for a warranty issue and after full re-root and setup I went to get in the car today and use bluetooth and I noticed a problem. Bluetooth will not turn on. Tapping the slider moves the position to on but it remains greyed out and, in fact, off. I tried a restore of the bluetooth share and pairings from Titanium backup and that just hung and never completed. I can always factory reset it but I hate to go back through that ... anyone got a way to 're-install' bluetooth and save a reset and reconfiguring for me?

This apparently has been problem for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. One poster from android central posted this for his Nexus 4:
I called Google technical support and they found a solution for me.
-In your Nexus 4, go to parameters/Applications/All/Bluetooth
-Here: erase cache, data and updates.
-Resart your phone.
In Nexus 5 Settings>Apps>All>Bluetooth Share. There you might try Clear data and Clear cache.
Got nothing to lose. Hope it works. I cannot test it myself since my Bluetooth is working.
Thanks for the suggestion. I had looked around and saw a couple mentions loosely similar related to the N4 but wasn't sure if same applied to N5. Looking though ... I do not have a bluetooth share app installed. That must be the issue, anyone got a way to re-install that Bluetooth Share, seems my backups from Titanium won't restore it.
Found thread where someone had your issue and solved it with reset.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/activate-bluetooth-t2595761
Maybe you could do backup to PC and get this restored with reset.
I know it is a PITA.
I figured a reset would square it away, was just hoping to find a way to avoid that if I could. I suppose next w/e I will reset if I don't find another way to get BY back.

When I run this app, it says no BT folder found. Seems the issue is that somehow this BT Share app just isn't there.
Another fix...
I know you already solved your problem, but I thought for people like me, who have found this thread later on, I'd just sign up to XDA and post my fix.
I didn't want to do a hard reset, so I played around with the "Bluetooth-Share"-thing in the Android app manager.
I cleared the cache and the data, that didn't do anything, even after a reboot I couldn't get the Bluetooth toggle from beging greyed out.
After that, I found that button at the very top right, that is labeled as " Uninstall Updates" or something like that. I tapped it and tapped OK at the following prompt. Where the "Uninstall Updates" button was before, should now be a greyed out "Disable" button. Then you need to reboot.
Try to enable Bluetooth. The toggle should turn blue after a few seconds as usual. Bluetooth should work normally now.
I hope my post helped anybody, :cyclops:

I am not having any luck. My bluetooh stopped working after doing a hard reset. Please note I've never rooted or flashed a ROM, or unlocked boot loader or anything. My N4 and N5 have always been completely stock.
I've tried everything in this thread, except I am not sure what hiwye is talking about as I cannot find an uninstall updates. I went ahead and tried another factory restore/wipe and still have same issue. I hit toggle to turn Bluetooth on, it then immediately toggles back to off.
Just as a side note, my bluetooh was working fine until the factory wipe/reset. I did the reset in an attempt to fix a sim card slot issue, that is also still not resolved. Upon restarting my phone, I get "no sim card" message. I got a new sim card and also confirmed the sim card works fine in other phones..... i can turn off, pop it out and back in and boot it again. sometimes it will see the sim card again. It may take 20 times, but finally work..... I should probably start a new thread on the sim card thing, but wondering if my motherboard needs replaced.....

I get the same Sim card missing screen I have tried a new sprint Sim and same issue. They way I have been fixing it is to pop off back cover and where the vibration motor sits (stays attached to cover) I put my finger in the hole and squeeze the 2 parts together and hold tight till it finishes booting and it will see the card. I'm not sure what's exactly the problem is but it works as temp fix and will stay until the next reboot.

Only device so doing it and taking PUC not gonna happen let me look up some images and I'll post them its not that difficult if you have had the back cover off before its very obvious where motor is. The motor is literally just under the flash led. Pop off cover starting at the top and slowly down each side with a guitar pick there is a tiny bit of adhesive at the bottom of rear cover about where the soft keys are when phone is on. Peel that up slow and you will see the vibration motor stuck to rear cover. See the space it came out of and put finger in that hole. And other finger opposite the first one on the glass and squeeze.... Not crazy so you break screen. Don't take much pressure. Start light and boot it. Says no Sim, try again with a little more pressure. When it first happened I googled sh*t for 2 days and couldn't find a fix. And this worked when I tried and a few reboots after. I shut phone off or battery dies I gotta do it to get Sim recognized.

I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
