Once in a while Facebook will freeze, the screen will turn black (except for the softkeys) and I end up having to kill the app altogether. I can back out of the app okay by pressing the back softkey, but when I return to the app it's still frozen.
This also happens with Google +. It didn't happen on my HTC One and it's not happening on my son's S4. It happened before I changed DPI and its happening now. Makes me think it's a KitKat thing.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I see the same behavior on my Nexus 5. The FB app freezes at random and although I am able to go out using the back softkey, it stays frozen when I get back. This happens with Whatsapp as well, although less number of times. I do believe this a KitKat thing.
Its the problem with the app not the phone.

is this a known issue? software or hardware?
my back button lights up partially (around the arrow) and is not responsive. this has happened twice in the past week. i have noticed that other samsung devices have this issue on the forum. does anyone else have the back button issue on the nexus s?
Mine doesn't do that. That could be a hardware problem. If so, use your warranty.
But check first if it's software. Did you flash a rom? Kernel maybe? Your apps? Try a fresh flash of stock rom.

I did the factory reset.
The issue has not yet been resolved.
I did catch the key issue on video a couple of times.
I've seen that a few times. Just press it harder than usual a few times and give it a few taps to shake the inside touch sensor. I fixed mine and friend's this way.

Mine never did this. You guys should get Samsung to replace your phones.

Hello guys I was wondering if anybody else is having this problem, sometimes when I press the back key on my att nexus s it freezes for a couple of secs then it goes back to normal, it won't matter what I am doing it could be anything from visiting the marketplace to browsing the web its really annoying me a lot at this point.
If you know anyway how to fix this issue please let me know thanks.
I have the same problem, but it also happens with my menu and search keys. The individual backlight will dim and the phone freezes for 4-7 sec.

Not having this issue.

Is the phone freezing or is just the back key randomly not responding to touch? If its the latter, then you need to do an exchange. Common problem.
I used to have this issue but it eventually went away. It happened after they replaced my screen.
I used to have this and assumed it was a hardware thing, changing roms sorted it.
I have no idea why this is the case and when someone else said as much I thought it couldn't be the case but I'd suggest you flash a different ROM and see how you get on.
I have this problem also. Mine will go dark and exit out of anything I'm doing as if I was pressing it. Gets old sometimes

I started getting this about two months into the life of my Nexus. In the process of exchanging mine now in the hours that I get an unaffected unit.

My first one did this constantly so I exchanged it and so far so good with the new one.
Looks like a bad batch of ns4g's went out. Mine is doing this too. Not very ofter but enough that I notice it.

Actually it affects all Nexus S models. I think it is touch panel driver bug.

Hey all, i don't know if there's already a thread about this but i did a quick search and didn't really find one about my problem.
Anyways, my girlfriend has a mytouch 4g slide and it keeps freezing on her. If she's in a call, she can stay in the call but won't be able to hang up or use the screen in any way until a restart. She is completely stock. This is the second mytouch for her with the same problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Well when I was stock, I never had any problems like this. I have heard about people having screen freezes with regards to the call screen, however. It could easily be one of the apps that she downloaded. It might be worth it to try a factory reset if the problem is persistent. Not to mention that sounds like a pretty annoying issue.
Yeah, we tried a factory reset before and it didn't work.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Huh, I talked to her more about this issue and it seems that it only freezes during a call. She didn't realize it until I asked her specifically about it. So any way to fix this issue.

If a factory reset doesn't solve your problem, you have two options:
Root and install a custom rom (could be a stock rom problem, even though it shouldn't be)
Get it replaced under warranty
is the device completely frozen, or can she get the screen to turn on by pressing the trackpad or something? come to think of it, the sensor doesn't seem to work perfectly on my device, so sometimes when i want to hang up a call, i need to press the trackpad to get the screen to turn on. i have never had the device become totally unresponsive tho.
Well, she says the screen is on but nothing happens when she taps it. The only way so far to get her phone to work again is a battery pull.
This is already a warranty replaced phone for the same problem. I would root her phone, but she is in San Francisco and I'm not. She is also not very tech savvy so she can't do it herself.

Have her try using GO! Dailer/Contacts. I know this issue is based within the Call Out screen. But try using GO! It can also an out of Ram issue. On stock, the more widgets you use. The worse the phone gets. You'll see that HTC Logo all the time. My Uncle has this phone, and he's 100% stock. He gets freezes, and the HTC Logo screen after every app. Since the phone has the highest priority in a call, in can be using to much RAM. Then the phones doing a Rosie reboot with out the HTC scrreen.
If she wants to. Install Zeam Launcher. She won't have any Sense widgets. But it'll free up about 120Mb of Ram. Then place the call, and see if it lags.

After a warranty replacement for my old phone, I haven't had time to fight rooting and have been experiencing similar issues... Memory mgmt seems to be cause. Ive removed some apps and it has reduced issues.
On initial use of phone, I reset it, inserted a full battery and followed the general "let it set" rules for a fresh rom install. At first, all was great, everything worked perfect. But as I added apps, it grew less stable. Also seeing phone freeze when rebooting into recovery... Eek. Tried multiple sd cards, batteries, to no avail.
Gonna call for another replacement. Ugh. Wrty is up in a couple months...

I've had a couple of freezes happen to me during phone calls and I realize what the problem was. It was apps automatically downloading in the background from the Play Store. If an auto update for apps is happening and I receive a phone call at the same time my phone will become unresponsive for a few minutes.

So this GO! Dialer, would it help with the freezing issue? I don't see how using another app would help with the memory issue. Does Zeam Launcher require root?
I am rooted , Franco kernel r35 , and gravity box installed.......
Let's say after I restart the nexus , I can go through a couple of hours browsing Google chrome fine , then randomly the back button doesn't work along with the keyboard not popping up , I'm guessing this is a ram issue??? Is it the actual nexus phone problem or is it the kernel... ????

you guessed wrong. It has something to do with xposed/gravity box. I had the same issues last time. Try disabling xposed/gravity completely and try again. if problem still persists, try getting a logcat.
I remember having the same exact issue with cataclysm rom also...
Forgot to add the back button and keyboard will sometimes work and sometimes doesn't , its really weird and random , I'll try to see if disabling xposed module will work

With Android unused memory is wasted memory. Judge lack of memory by how laggey your UI gets when switching between apps previously opened. The lag would be caused by Android having to load a previously removed app due to insufficient memory.

Strange.. are you running any other mods? DPI change?
Omg I finally found a thread that addresses this problem.
I have greenify installed, but no Xposed.
I was previously on BeanStalk, but changed over to Vanir just yesterday, problems happened on both ROMs.
Keyboard will not open, apps crash, soft buttons not working.

Weird problem huh... Sometimes a lock/relock solves the problem, while the other times the entire phone is unusable until rebooted.
Launcher will crash (but no crash dialogue, it just restarts itself), cannot close background apps as recent button is not working, cannot enter settings either (through menu button).

I'm having this same exact issue on cataclysm, franco r35. It just started happening the past few weeks, it's like the launcher re-starts and re-draws every time I go to the home screen. Or apps will crash but not get the FC message, just go back to the wallpaper and wait for the launcher to re-draw. When this stuff is happening, it's like the back button loses its functionality. Rebooting doesn't always help, sometimes I have to delete cache and dalvik cache. Then things will be fine for a day or two and it'll start again.
I was looking to go with a ROM that's as close to stock as possible, except I really want lockscreen target ring and customizable quicksettings, but now it seems like it's not a cataclysm issue so maybe I'll sit tight for a while. When the phone is working - which is a majority of the time - it's super smooth and responsive like always, so I'm not too anxious to make any changes.
Im pretty late posting a reply, but may i ask, what lcd density were you using? was it custom? cause i flashed blisspop today and having this exact issue since installing and changing my lcd density
Last night my nexus 5 behaved strange, I touch the multi window button at the bottom (name has skipped me) beside the home button and its completely blank. I know I had 3 apps running and open but it didn't show any of them.
I had to restart my phone to fix it but it has happened again.
I'm stock unrooted

Hi-not sure why that is happening. Are you using any task or app killer that could be closing the apps? I am sure you already thought of that...
Doc
No apps no task killers. Its just blank but they are there. Since I click on the icon and its still where I left off
