Whenever I scroll down a list and go to a selection and then back it will lose it's spot and go back to the top. Really annoying. Anybody else have this problem? I tried wiping cache and data in the app but it didn't fix it.

I have the same issue... Stock. This sucks and i hope they fix it.
Yeah' I have the same issue.. I used to have it with my tablet (Xoom), but something was fixed, and now it works fine.. not sure why the S3 shouldn't work as well.

i have the same issue, drives me crazy
i tried the phone right out of the box and have it and also tried it rooted with root66 method and still same issue.
Good to know I'm not the only one with this problem.

So, ever since I rooted my SGS4G I've had three really odd issues that happens across all ROMs - stock, custom, ODIN, CWM - all of them.
1. When I first boot up the phone it gets stuck in landscape mode. Sometimes it fixes itself after 30-60 minutes, sometimes it doesn't.
2. It randomly goes into Car Mode or Desk Home starts up on its own - on ICBINB and Audiophile if I hit the Home Key then it starts Desk Home. So I have to back out to the Home screen.
3. Also, whenever I play certain games (ex. Angry Birds), it only works for a minute or two, then goes to the home screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the games and it still happens.
So, has anyone else had similar or identical issues? If so, how'd you fix them?
I use Titanium Backup to restore most of my apps because, for whatever reason, the Google backup/restore doesn't work with this phone (even in stock). I don't restore system information, just missing apps.
If you want my 2 cents i would say it is hardware, where you are switching roms and the same problem is still happening, the rom should clear out all memory, cache, etc. i would you say to take it back to the store and get a new one. sounds like there is an error with the sensor. good luck

Yeah, I was hoping it wasn't the hardware. Oh well.
if you do take it back you may want to unroot and go back to stock just to be safe because they may see that and say you voided the warranty.

Yeah, but I'm kinda SOL because I'm not with T-Mobile. I'll just deal with it til I get another phone.
those are very unique problems. i have yet to hear of anyone experiencing problems like that. to me, it sounds like you didnt calibrate your horizontal sensor properly. odin to kc1 and get a fresh start. then make sure you factory reset, wipe cache and your mounts are correct before flashing the ext4 converter and then the audiophile or icbinb rom again. dont reinstall your apps from TB. it usually causes problems for certain apps. download from the market again, back up your apps with cwm, or simply go into data folder with root explorer and copy the apk and the data lib and push it to the rom before you flash. when this is done, let it load and then go back to fix permissions. then go back and recalibrate your horizontal sensor. if you want, you can delete the carcradle.apk and the deskcradle.apk if it still gives you problems.

I'll try all this tomorrow. I just got home from work and I'm tired as hell. Thanks for the info and I'll letcha know how it turns out.
Does anyone else have issues with selecting stuff while in apps. Like when another app menu pops up, you can't select it?
Example: I've had issues when I open up an app and then trying to authorize Dropbox for it. Dropbox then opens up inside the original app, but I can't select anything. It's like the touch just stopped working. The only way to get out of it is pressing back.
Another more recent one is in the app TabbedOut, when I go to select Google Wallet as my form of payment, I can't change the card or select Accept.
Here's a video of what I mean:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyRvHXntAFA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Does anyone else have this issue and know a fix? It's quite annoying.
Thanks.
No one else is having this issue? Or have any ideas on what I could do to fix this?

Do the power and volume buttons still work when the screen stops responding?
Yes and yes.
When the screen is off, and you press the power button, does the screen come on immediately as usual, or is there a delay?
Comes on immediately. Everything is working perfectly fine. It's just I can't select anything on the "pop-up" menu that shows up. Even the back/home/recent apps "buttons" work on the screen.
I would try clearing cache and data in recovery. While you're there, might as well fix permissions.
Wipe data or format data?

It did this on another ROM I was running. Even after a full wipe it still does it on this ROM (stock 4.2.2).

Sorry, that's all I got.
Might be a bit late to the party here. Seems to be a dropbox app issue affecting lots of apps. Try installing the app from the dropbox.com site or uninstall dropbox and validate through the normal website authentication.
https://www.dropbox.com/android
Direct Link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6993309/Dropbox.apk
Once it's authenticated you should be fine reinstalling the play store version.
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.

Worked for me, thanks.
alright, so i bought the nexus 5 month or so ago.
the issue i'm having:
i go in maps. say i'm rather close over berlin. i enter "Munich" in the seach bar. the "flyover" starts. however it doesnt finish over munich, it stops halfway through.
on my device its reproducable. no matter what destination i enter, the flyover just stops somewhere around halfway through, always at the very same spot. it i then go back to the search bar and tap on the "go" button again, the flyover continues, but still doesnt end. it takes me 3 times tapping on the "go"/"search" button until munich is visible. however it is still not centered. even after 5 further clicks its still not completely zoomed in.
this really bugs me. i dont use maps very often, but when i do i have to see this crap.
not quite sure if related, but i'm playing family guy lately. whenever you order a character to do something, the camera usually locks on the character while he walks to wherever he has to go. on my device, the camera just stops following him after a few seconds. seems the same/similar issue than whats going on in maps.
any idea what it could be? i really dont want to root and install a custom rom on the nexus 5 until google supports it.
i already cleared the cache, cleared the data and uninstalled all updates. in every version in every configuration this bug persists.

First step I would try is rebooting your phone into Safe mode. If the problem persists then you can eliminate 3rd party apps from the equation. If it's fixed then you can assume one of your apps is causing the issue.

Have you tried different Locations settings? Does the same thing happen during High Performance, Battery Saver, and Device Only?
Only other thing I can think to try is resetting the phone to factory default.

i might as well root it, while i'm at it
I turned off the Edge Panel feature on my phone but the handle bar won't go away from the home screen. I've tried to minimize the handle bar size as well as made it 100% transparent. On any other screen, the Edge Panel handle bar is completely gone but anytime I'm on my home screen, the handle is there and I can't find a way to make it go away.
I also downloaded the All In One Gestures app so my phone can have the swipe to go back feature. To use this feature, the app will place a shadow on the edge of the screen, indicating that the feature is active. I've tried to disable this feature as well to get rid of this shadow but it also won't go away from the home screen. Even if I uninstall the app, the shadow remains.
Anyone know a fix to this problem?

I suspect you have a kink in the install or somehow have corrupted a file. I do not know of a 'fix', other than clearing cache on stock phone and re-boot. If rooted, clear cache/dalivk and see if that works.
If it were bugging me enough, I'd do a clean install.
