Ive been having rebooting issues with my sensation for like a month and a half now, and i think that the problem with it is it keeps overheating, so i thought it may be a good idea to put it in the freezer for half an hour.
After taking it out i removed the frost off it and let it sit for about 10 minutes, it came on but kept on freezing. so then i left it overnight to defrost and i tried again in the morning. It came on but froze again.
Now it doesnt come on, what should i do? :crying:

RIP HTC Sensation
Putting the phone in freezer without inert atmosphere (or at the very least dry) is a recipe for disaster.
Most likely moisture is short circuiting your device.
IF NOTHING WORKS (and you do not wish to send your phone to HTC):
***WARNING***: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Leave the device without cover in the sun. Monitor it's temperature. IT SHOULDN'T at any moment feel hot (if it does take it out immediately).
This might get rid of the moisture. Poor chances though.

this morning (and maybe 2 other times before) my screen blacked out and refused to turn back on. i am not rooted. any ideas why this would happen? i ended up having to pull the battery twice and then it's been working fine since.
thanks
then that was probably it...if it continues, do a factory reset

What ROM are you using? I've had that happen to me twice now. The buttons light up, I can hear screen noises, but a black screen. I pull the battery and reboot, everything is fine. I'm using DS_MOD.1.55.531.3, rooted and S-OFF.

not rooted, just stock. but the way you described it is exactly what happens. buttons light up, things can happen (you can hear it) but totally black screen.

yep. i figured i'd wait as long as i can before i decide to root (really don't have any reason to... i've always rooted my devices, my G1 and G2... just don't really have a need to yet with this phone)
I'm running Rubix v5.3 ICS Splashed, and the same exact thing happened to me tonight, weird...
Pulled the phone out of my pocket and screen was black. You could hear lock sounds and keys light up but the screen stayed black.
Pulled the battery and all is well again. This can't be a coincidence, can it?
This has happened to me periodically both on stock and on bulletproof, I never really gave it much thought though, because it was easily fixed by a reboot.

i'll probably just end up forgetting about it soon enough, but it's just annoying that our phone should have an issue like that. if i had money to switch phones whenever i want i'd already have left it because of this issue, you know what i mean?

Happening twice in the six months I've had it is not a big enough issue for me to want to switch phones.

It's been progressively getting worse, now I get just a black screen nothing coming up after multiple charges and battery pulls... praying it's not the screen and just a battery problem!
If it's fixed by a battery pull at first then it's most likely just a battery issue.

No luck after battery pull, you think it's screen then or flex cable? The screen worked like 8 hours ago with minor black-outs one or twice a day to more frequently and random reboots like 6-8 just today!
Flex cable could cause flickering. You're really quite SOL with it then.

Would you suggest I get it repaired or something similar?
Yeah, you may need to get it repaired. :|
When I turn my phone off, entirely (even after removing/re-inserting the battery) the charge animation still appears, signifying there is still some battery drain occurring....and it really does, too. It lasts for about a week in this state from fully charged, to entirely dead. This isn't the most concerning part, though....the only logical assumption is that the phone actually thinks it's being charged
I've done a FULL wipe of all partitions and a factory flash, but that hasn't helped....any suggestions? It's pretty annoying that if I don't want the battery to discharge I have to actually unplug the battery entirely, even in a full power-off state (or at least as fully powered off as this particular phone can get at the moment)

Yes, my current phone is a Nexus 4. The phone with issues is a NS4G and I dropped sprint like a bad habit earlier this year, so it's just a reference device now.
Uhmmm... Dust into connector? Since the current pins are hard wired to the recharge circuit, maybe there's a short and the battery it's powering it up.

Thanks for the input Dust has occurred to me in the past, and I've done a fair job of cleaning it. Just for the sake of saying I did it, I dusted it again, and this time I even unscrewed the back cover and dusted everything I could reach...much more of a teardown and I'm wandering down a road I don't want to go down....reassembly isn't my strong point. I can take anything apart without a problem...putting it back together is another story entirely lol
Anyway, I cleaned everywhere I could reach thoroughly...still happening, unfortunately.
Thank you for the input, though. You are correct that a big enough dust bunny could cause a short
Hey Guys!
I was wiping my phone with lysol wet wipes to clean it today and let it dry for a bit. When I picked it up it worked fine but the power button wasn't very responsive (Didn't register few times). Later on today I picked my phone up and it wouldn't turn on . At first I thought it was the power button but that works fine. I can hear my phones click and can even take a screenshot, but the screen doesn't show anything it is just black. Any help?
You mat have fried it by getting it wet I'm afraid.
I'd get it off and get it in a bag of rice for a day or 2.

Hey, man I'm having the exact same problem. I thinks it's a problem that some Nexus have because I found this video on youtube and its very similar to mine: youtube. com/watch?v=V6PtbuImXUs
No my screen it does turns on and not just stays all black, but it stays like with a lof of little dots like when there's no signal on a tv. It has been like this for over a month. I'm talking with the guys of LG for a warranty :/ Best of luck, bro! If you find any other solution, I'd be glad to know.
i left it in rice yesterday, and will take it out in a day. Will report back!
So i took it out of the rice, and put the phone back together. Nexus 5 got really hot when i tried to power it on so i just took out the battery plug to avoid any more damage. Any advice on what to do next?

Visit the nearest LG service centre and let them have a look at your device and then proceed accordingly.

The display is fried.. Possibly, the battery is affected as well by looking at your previous comment.
All you can do is, replace the damaged parts which might cost you a bomb. However, instead of doing it yourself, let LG take a look at your device first and get a quote from them! There's no harm in getting one. You will just need to pay the labour charges incurred for opening up your device and examining it.

quick update: I was able to flash a rom using wug fresh and it boots normally. I can take screenshots, open the camera and take pictures, speaker works fine. I'm guessing this is only a display problem now? any ideas on anything I need to do in order to test other hardware areas to check damage?
Gentlemen, I believe I have managed to brick my beloved Nexus 5. It began rebooting randomly a week or two ago, then several days ago it just got stuck in a bootloop (booting, shutting down, booting, shutting down, etc). I guess having the phone in a dock on my cars dashboard driving around in 97F degree weather with the sun shining in, caused the poor thing to overheat. I can't even get into a stable Recovery mode anymore, it just shuts down after a few seconds and then attempts to reboot. :crying:
I am fairly confident there is no remedy, but I thought I'd throw in my hat here to see if anyone has any pointers. I guess I am hoping for a best case scenario type deal. It is mainly the battery that would take damage from overheating, correct? If so, I might try replacing it.
Try hooking it up to a PC and seeing if u can use PC companion.try and reaserch it Ive seen it before on one of these threads.I'm sorry but I suck using pc s

So i dropped my nexus 5 from about 2 ft accidentally and now it wont turn on, and it is extremely hot. Please some one helppppp!:crying:
I don't think it works, but please test it: Press and hold the powerbutton for 20-30 seconds. This will preform a reset (like removing battery). Good luck!

If it is getting hot, it's probably turning on. Looks like you'll have to get your screen replaced. Even if there is no crack, it does not mean the screen and digitizer is still intact.

extremely hot means something wrong with the devices including system corruption, if its hardware problem u might want to send to phone shop for diagnose,, if its software, try flash stock rom.. sees if its boot and showed up boot image...
i hope it doesnt have hardware damage since just a 2feet drop,, nevertheless the digitizer screen

I cant get into bootloader so i cant flash a factory image, there is no haptic feedback too. So i guess its a hardware problem.. the phone has cooled now. But it was extremely hot for an hour. I guess the battery ran out.

If by can't boot into bootloader you mean all you see is a black screen. Well that pretty much confirms that at least the screen needs to be replaced. Get it replaced and when testing it you'll find out if there's anything else wrong (hardware wise) with your Nexus 5. Cheers.

Nope. i got it checked and its the whole motherboard. Now i got to buy a new phone. Still confused how a 2 feet drop did this..
I can say that the body can't holds up that figure impact, our n5 is a whole plastics haha... My fri3nds n5 dropped his at 5 feet from his bare hands on a carpet, guess what, screen broken and its frame gone loose,,, wow, nice build.... However nexus 5 rocks !!!!
I recommend removing the back cover and checking for loose or damaged connections. Also, remove and re-attached each connections and try to boot the phone.
