Nexus 5 randomly shutting down - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Rooted (with WugFresh) and running stock. Have switched between Dalvik and ART, problem happens on both. My phone will randomly turn off while I am not using it. Sometimes i just need to hit power and it turns back on, other times i need to plug it in to get it going again. I'm fairly new to Android and Nexus... not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
I was afraid this was caused by me rooting it, but that doesn't make much sense as I have done the exact same things to my wife's phone and hers is fine. Is there any way I can access logs to see what happened to cause it to shut down?
It seems to be getting worse now, shut down last night (while plugged in) and missed my alarm. Then couldn't get it back on, had to hold volume up+down + power button. I am going to try a wipe to stock and if that doesn't work, i'll RMA it
Any help is appreciated!

You're on the right track flash back to stock and see if you still have a problem. If you do then it's an issue with your device.
Edit, this might help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47156064

Unfortunatly, I have the same issue with my 32GB white D820 US version, which arrived yesterday here in Germany. Almost all system and user apps keep FCing (but most re) and random hot reboots after kernel panics (mainly oups 80d). It makes the phone unusable. And to be said: When I received the phone yesterday it was factory sealed and I didn't tampered with the phone in any way (though I was just about to do so ). Anyway, the issues started with the very first system boot.
A bug report has been filed in the Android bug tracker andseveral similar discussions are going on in the Google product forums.
I doubt this is a software (ie OS) related bug leading to the kernel panics, looking at last_kmsg and asort and there would be much more issue reports. It looks more like defective RAM.
I'm a professional developer since 10 years and fell in love with Android a few years ago (just to say I know what I'm doing). I did all things possible to troubleshoot. No way.
I spoke to Google's tech support and they recommended to RMA too. Here's the email I received after that call:
Hello Stephan,
Thank you for contacting Google! My name is XXX and I'll be happy to assist in this matter.
If you have already performed the steps we talked about (factory data reset and/or reflashing a factory image on your device 1 or multiple times) and yielded no results, I would advise a replacement device. From our system, however, it doesn't look like you purchased your Nexus 5 from the Google Play Store. Therefore I wouldn't be able to process that device exchange for you.
If your device wasn't purchased from the Google Play and you're looking for warranty repair service, please contact the manufacturer of your device directly.
If you'd like to return a device that wasn't purchased from Google Play for a refund, please contact the retailer from which you purchased the device for more information.
If there is anything further I can assist you with, please feel free to reply directly to this email or visit our help center at
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/request.py?contact_type=contact_policy&policy=hardware
Sincerely,
XXX
The Google Team

So, if you ordered from Google Play Store, here are the relevant links:
General return, refund and replacement instructions: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411741?hl=en
Contact form to request an RMA form (for US purchases only!): https://support.google.com/googleplay/contact/c2c_hardware_ordering
List of Google Play hardware support team phone numbers by country: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/3053039?hl=en
Otherwise contact your local LG support here https://www.lg.com/
Because I did not purchased mine via Google Play they won't replace mine (as you've read in their mail). But I also spoke to LG already today and they'll replace mine. Gonna send it back tomorrow. (so saaad. won't let it go again... )

Bluish horizontal line on g tab after rebooting

I recently purchased a g tablet from office depot, when I got it home I let it charge up. When I turned it on it said there was a update so I let it install, but when the tab restarted and came back up I noticed I now have a bluish line running horizontally across the screen about an inch from the bottom. By chance did the update cause this or is it just pure chance it happened on the reboot.... anyone else ever run into this?

I got same problem. I think it is factory defect. It is like dead pixel.
I think I have to exchange for different one.
Yeah kinda what I was figuring to. Have to call in the morn see if they have one for an exchange.

Using stock? And did it seem OK with the original firmware? It could actually be a firmware issue, as I know that VS / TnT updated the graphics drivers.
I have not seen this issue myself, but you could have a different board that could be affecting you. It's possible.
I actually saw this one when I updated from my original ROM to the first OTA update.
Since then I have applied two other updates and have not seen it.
FYI. I have contacted VS about other issues. I was not aware of the 30 days replacement warranty.
==============================================
Thank you for contacting ViewSonic Technical Support.
I understand that you have an issue with your ViewSonic tablet.
You may send it back to the store from where you bought the unit and ask for replacement if it is still under 30-day replacement warranty policy.
May I have the following information:
1. Complete Name of the owner (First and last)
2. Physical Address (Street, State, Zip Code)
3. Telephone number
4. Email Address
5. Serial number and Product Name
6. Include the exact issue description and steps taken
Should you require additional assistance or would like to speak to a Technical Support Engineer directly, please contact our Technical Support Dept. at 1-800-688-6688 and choose the Technical Support menu option. A Technical Support Engineer will gladly assist you.
Thank you for choosing ViewSonic.
Best regards,
=====================
SEARS has this, and I think Staples was 14 days. They'll exchange / take a return if there's a hardware defect. Not sure what OD's policies are.
If you recently purchased it (ie. after Thanksgiving), you probably fall under the more lax return policies most stores have for holiday shopping. If you were planning on running an alternate firmware, I'd give vegan or tnt lite a go and see if the line goes away. If you're planning or remaining stock, then I'd say return it and see if the next one has the same issue.
This just happened to me on the latest ota.
happened after first ota update. tried restoring it but no go. ended up exchanging for new one now everything is peachy

Same here. I used to use Google Wallet before the update on CVS once in a while. However after the update I'm not able to use it anymore.
Not rooted, running stock Android 4.4.3. OTA Verizon Updated.
I am resetting my phone now and will try soon when I get another chance. Anyway, how did it go for you? is yours working now? I do not have insurance, just ran out two days ago when I did a plan change. Sucks big time now that I have to get to know that it doesn't work. Also, just to be sure I tried ISIS/Softcard Wallet as well to see if it is the Google Wallet itself is blocked or handicapped for some reason. But to my surprise, ISIS/Softcard does not work as well. I am doubting the hardware now. Or this is a solid 4.4.3 Update bug that is causing our device to not function as normal. Question is, is Verizon aware of this? How do we report this to Verizon?
According to what I see here, only few have been affected it seems? or is it so?
I am left with many more questions than answers ever since the update.
P.S - After the update my phone isn't as smooth as it was before either. Feels like the I am experiencing choppy frame rates often times. But not to the level that I will fault the phone.
Please help. Let me know what worked for you and what didn't.

Sorry this probably doesn't help you much but I am totally stock 4.4.3 - no s-off no root and Softcard ( used to be Isis ) works fine for me. Just used it this morning.
Hope you get your issue figured out.

Thanks for the response, Honestly, anything and everything helps. Since you have a Verizon M8, assuming from your signature, I guess I am in the minority or rare bunch who's device is affected. I am glad to know that your device is functioning as normal.
I do not have insurance at the moment. And I am sad to learn that I have to send my device to HTC for repairs. Which takes about 10-14 days without phone.
Does Verizon do loaner phones?

You should be covered under verizons one year manufacturer warranty go in to a verizon corporate store they will probably overnight you another m8, and from what most assume usually they seem to always send a new m8 because they are really hard to disassemble so many thing they replace with new. I know many people that got an m8 replaced through asuron the verizon and at&t insurance and everyone says they got a new one because you can go into the settings and they dont show reconditioned and usually show a build date within a couple months of when they receive them.
I say take it to a verizon owned corporate store steer clear of verizon dealers a corporate store can do more for you like overnight you a replacement.
Bit the bullet and called HTC.

Bit the bullet and called HTC. Found out there is another program that they send out a device in advance, overnight that is along with a mailer envelope to return our old unit. But it seems they put a hold on your card for 599 and also a 29 one time fee for this to happen. I am thinking if it is worth going this route. At least this will solve my problem of being without a phone.
But before I do that, I have made sure the HTC Rep to record our coversation and give me time to call back, so that I can test it out one more time.
( Did I tell you some HTC reps are dumb? The first one I talked to, the girl was so stupid that she did not know what is NFC and asked me to explain what it is, and how to use it. Asked me to pause, stopped me numerous times and made me repeat what was not working. After all that, she still did not get it. Hung up the phone on me and left, and did not bother to call me on my backup callback number. Lol. )

Just went to CVS and tried my Google Wallet. Wholla, it worked. So the second reset seemed to have fixed the problem. Or did it? I am not sure, only time will tell. I will keep on trying once in a while to be sure that it is not just a fluke.
Here is what I did.
The HTC rep (the second one that is, first one was dumb and rude due to her limited understanding) asked me to reset the phone once more, and when the phone booted up, I unchecked the Settings > Power > Fastboot option. Disabled Softcard/ISIS Wallet in App settings, Installed Google Wallet again. And all seems to be in order now. Not sure what caused the initial trouble.
I will be on the look and report if the trouble comes back again.
Thanks for the suggestions and feedback guys.

So as my previous post suggested, after a hard reset and disabling the Softcard/ISIS app, and having Google Wallet as the exclusive app, the tap and pay worked at the CVS. However, when I tried again last night, it is no longer working and not registering the tap anymore at the terminal.
I am confused. Is it the hardware? Should I go ahead with the replacement device from HTC? or Should I just blame the software and keep the phone as is. Although my contacts and account is backed up in Google accounts, I still think its a hassle reinstalling 50+ apps, and restoring the phone to its fully functional day to day state that suited me. I just do not like the hassle of swapping phones.
Any last suggestions guys? Or hardware swap is my only way?

Update - Got rid of the HTC One M8, swapped for a Galaxy S5 on craigslist and guess what, Google wallet works fine there. Yes, although that is a Verizon phone as well, grass is definitely greener on that side. I do not like the menu system and UI, color etc, but what it supposed to do, it does without any issues. Yes I miss the aluminum body and the build, also the sense 6, but the ease of use with fingerprint sensor and the vibrancy of amoled screen picks up the slack. Wish HTC can use Amoled screens as well.
I was able to use google wallet no problem after the 4.4.3 update at CVS this is however before CVS disabled their NFC payment system.
Stock Rooted.
I was able to use it just fine at Walgreens this morning.
Never had a problem with it 4.4.3 or 4.4.4

Galaxy reboots itself

Hi All
Received my SH-G920I (unlocked) and for the last 2 days I faced three occasional reboots.
Once it was when phone was idle, then when I try to unlock it and once it was in the middle of web browsing.
It looks like "fast" reboot, when only "Samsung" logo displayed briefly and phone is quickly coming back to working mode. Sometimes after such reboot screen and soft buttons aren't responding and I have to turn it off/on with power button. Them it back to normal
Any ides what is it?
Thank you.
My G920i (got it from eBay) is doing the same thing...hope it's not a hardware issue...

Yes, my from eBay as well. For last 24 hours it worked without reboots. Not sure how promising this might be....
Bought a G920I from ebay myself, arrived yesterday. So far noticed :
- 2 soft reboots (really dim Samsung boot animation, then fine)
- CONSTANTLY reboots on mains charger all night (annoying as it was lighting up in middle of night)
- Reboots on wireless charger constantly (standard Qi cheap one - not sure about officiall)
I have not rooted my phone, it's completely stock.
Is this just the G920I or are other people having problems? I am thinking of returning it for the G920F model.
Better to replace it.

Who was your seller one Bay? Maybe it is the problem of specific shop/batch.
I have the same problem with a SH-G920F
My god! I started a new thread about this without finding this first. I bought my 920i from the same seller and am facing the same problem! So any idea if this is a batch issue or general issue that quite a few are facing? I have asked for a refund and hope that I am not charged a restocking fee , which in this case is 20% which is too much.
I sent request to Samsung support so they advise if this is hardware issue and we should replace the device or software one that can be mitigated.

Please keep us posted ! I think this could be a software issue
On top of the random "soft boot" my S6 has has an issue with the SIM tray not sitting completely flush with the frame. The top portion (the section where you can insert the ejection pin) tends to stick out a little bit (about 0.1 or 0.2mm). I have had quite a few phones with similar designs (iPhone 6+, M8, M9) and this is the first time I run into this kind of issue. I am starting to think this particular batch has a bad QC or something. I message the eBay seller yesterday asking for a return/refund but have not hear back from them yet. A little bit frustrating to say the least.
So you are facing soft boot issues and sim card tray issues? That sucks. I heard back from the seller and he asked me if I wanted an exchange or refund. I have asked for a refund and am expecting RMA any time today. Seller has also increased the price to 839 now.
Yea, it definitely sucked. How did you contact the seller on eBay, did you just asked him a general question or you used the specific "return" link? I think I can going to request a refund too as this point. I was trying to be nice by avoiding the use of the "requesting a refund" link as I think it count against the seller but they are not replying to the question I initiated yesterday at all.
Thanks,

Since it is the weekend so they may take some time to reply but so far they have been co operative. I am definitely getting a refund and I hope they don't apply the restocking 20% fee. It breaks my heart because I really liked this phone.
Back to the Oneplus for now.
Samsung support replied, that they are unable to provide any information since I have non US model. They sugested to seek resolution with the support in country where device was purchased or directly with retailer.
So, guys, are you all returning it?

Honestly I really like the phone alot and would've most likely kept it if not for the raised SIM Tray. The random soft boot really didn't bother me as much as the physical SIM tray issue.... I liked how this int'l version can change the APN settings for you depends on what SIM card you are using (I tried both T-Mo and AT&T) which I know the AT&T version will not even I get it unlocked. But then the AT&T model is built in Korea verses the int'l version which is built in Vietnam. Not sure if is correlated but T-Mobile's version is also built in Vietnam and there seems to be quite a bit of issues with that batch too.

HI, It is happening to me too. I have same phone. Had it for about a week and last 2 days it rebooted itself 3 times. Any news about it?

5.1.1 OTA?

So today(5-15) I saw online that T-Mobile USA released the 5.1.1 OTA for there branded Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, so any info on when the Verizon branded version is coming out? I'm having multiply major bugs(wifi, memory, and lagging) across 3 different S6 devices(original device and 2 replacements) since launch day. Also, the Verizon Branded OTA that just came out brought me new bugs like with Google voice to text giving me 2 new bugs and making it unusable. Also, apps are freezing like crazy and ends up freezing the whole phone and when I try to lock the phone with the power button when an app is freezing it opens up the camera instead of locking the phone and most of the time I have to restart the phone when this happens and it happens quite often, but only started after the Verizon OTA. Also, from launch day(across all 3 devices) I been having memory issues with the phone, it tells me it has between 1GB-1.2GB of total memory on the phone and I only have 748MB total available with only very few apps on the phone at the moment, everything closed and all the bloatware gone off the phone. I herd that the Verizon OTA we just got was suppose to fix the memory issue, but apparently for me it did nothing at all with the memory on my phone. and lastly I'm having the major wifi bug a lot of us are having witch for me started on the 6th day after launch and never worked again even after I had 3 different devices and still the same thing is still ongoing, and in fact the Verizon OTA we just got made the wifi bug even worst then before.
So the 5.1.1 OTA is really needed for me to fix these ongoing and new bugs I'm having and after 2 months I'm getting sick and tired of waiting for patches to come out!
You probably should go into your system recovery and clear cache. That will probably help a majority of your bugs.

I already did that and nothing changed at all, and like I said I had 3 different devices and nothing changed at all. In fact the 3rd device I got which I still have was giving me problems from very first time I turned it on and during the initial setup as soon as I turned it on from the FedEx box and the keyboard was slow and not putting the letters I clicked in the box and to click next/skip, restart or power off I had to use my pointer finger and press multiple times and fast like a woodpecker would on a tree in order for those functions to respond, and before I can even finish the initial setup I had to already do a factory reset on the phone. Even typing right now in this box responding to you the phone is lagging just typing now.
Don't think Verizon has announced anything yet. The current G920VVRU1A0E2 works fine for me.
To help with keyboard lag - go into settings and make sure the proper language is intalled and updated. Have you tried different keyboards? Swiftkey?

Well 3 different phones since launch day have been giving me all different kinds of problems and never had a device with out a major problem in it and the new Verizon OTA that just came out in June made the phone even worst then before. The Build for the update is G920VVRU1A0E2, and in fact I even had problems getting the update on my phone because from launch day of the OTA-4days after it came out the OTA would not fully download and give me error code 503 and it wasn't until the 5th day that it worked and then when I finally got it installed on my phone it just brought more bugs to the phone like I talked about in the OP

The Build for the update is G920VVRU1A0E2, and in fact I even had problems getting the update on my phone because from launch day of the OTA-4days after it came out the OTA would not fully download and give me error code 503 and it wasn't until the 5th day that it worked and then when I finally got it installed on my phone it just brought more bugs to the phone like I talked about in the OP

Have you tried using Odin to flash back to stock with the full tar file instead of the update? If not go here and give it a shot. If you use the OE2 one you will have to factory data reset to wipe your phone clean either after or before you flash.

yea I tired that, but this started as soon as I turned on my phone for the very 1st time trying to do the initial set up, plus like I said even pressing next/skip, power off or reset in the initial setup was a hassle. I had to take my pointer finger and point it down and press fast and many times like a woodpecker in order for the buttons functions to work and I could not even finish the initial setup and had to already do a factory reset before the initial setup was even finished on the 3rd device I have now. The phone is so bad that even clicking the home button some of the apps, Google search and weather is not on screen right away and takes second or 2 to show up, its lagging to show up.

That stinks, hopefully the next update will fix things for you. Mine has been running fine for the most part.

3 different devices and still the same exact major things plus new things on each device are going on with the phone. Switching out the device should fix it all, but I guess this is not the case here. Plus about the wifi issues I'm in a XDA forum 13 pages long about the phones wifi not working(I know it says edge, but it's the same problems with the S6 and S6 edge so no difference)

I would not be surprised to see that the new upgrade to lollipop was to foil or prevent root. Kind of like the s4. screwed up everything now I have no root.
THANKS SAMSUNG !!!!!!

They already said that the new update(5.1.1) is taking away root
My 1st phone which arrived on Sat came with G920VVRU1A0E2 out of the box.
Other than normal setups, and uninstalling Google Play Services and Google Play it has not had any problems.
Perhaps you should go into a store and show them how it is not working?

I did on launch day, I went back to the same corporate store a few hours later and got into a fight with the sales rep who sold me the phone a few hours earlier and the store GM because they were Ignorant because my phone was hot as fuc k at 90F and hotter and they said nothing was wrong. On top of that they even lied to me about having the edge devices in stock on launch day and even pulled out the normal S6 trying to trick me and it was not until I said something did he say oh this is not an edge and then said there was no edge's in stock, but while I was waiting in line I asked him and 2 other reps and they all said they had the white 64GB edge in stock. They rather lie to there customers to make a sale then tell the truth(at least this corporate store location), and then when you have problems with the phone they don't care to help you at all. Even 611 said this was very wrong and made a complaint on mine and 611's behalf on the corporate store and the sales rep.

Here is an update, as of recently my phone is getting really really hot and temperatures of 120F+ and even Verizon technical support saw that through their diagnostic system as it was actually on those temperatures at that very moment when they were looking. Also, from me just being tech savvy and Verizon technical support confirming it as well this phone is also supposed to have a safeguard in the phone and if it gets too hot the device is upposed to power off on its own, but apparently the safeguard is not working because when the phone gets very hot the battery starts flashing and in the middle of the screen it tells me the phone is very hot and it only lets me click OK. If I'm charging the phone the battery flashes and say the same thing but just adds unable to charge, & I can unplug the charger and immediately plug it back in to the phone and it will start charging again and then a few minutes later it will give me the same message. When it's doing that its not supposed to tell me anything it's supposed to just shut off and its not doing so.
So there overheating policy states that I have to bring my phone too a corporate store and they're going to replace the device right on spot. So Sunday I went to the corporate store to do that, but for some reason their system wouldn't allow them to process this because it didn't have an option to do it and the general manager and the store representative we're booth trying together for at least 45 minutes. They ultimately ended up just sending me a replacement device via Fedex to my house and when the phone arrives today(7-2) I have to bring the overheating device that I currently have to the store so they can do what they need to do to send it back because by law I'm not allowed to send an overheating device back. Verizon corporate store processed my order on Sunday and I was supposed to get the device on Tuesday but I'm getting it today due to inclement weather at the FedEx Memphis Tennessee hub and so Fedex at the Memphis Tennessee hub was at a complete standstill and my package was part of it.
Once I get my 4th replacement device and start using it for a while I will let you know how it's working

2 months old phone with severe connection problems

I bought the phone from the official website about 2-3 months ago.
Like everyone who got it, I was amazed by how snappy it was, also the wifi signal was the best in all my phones.
From time to time I did notice occasional complete signal drops.
Being summer I went in a foreign country where I didn't use the phone signal at all, so the phone was on airplane mode for a week.
When I came home the issues persisted so I contacted oneplus support.
The resolutions where the following:
1. Network settings reset
2. Master reset of the phone
3. Updating the phone to the latest update by ota updates
4. Full flash of the phone (using a pc and files supplied by oneplus, )
5.Updating again because the software was older
Now of course nothing worked, and the last step was that I had to take logs .
Logs were sent to them for more than 10 days and still I got no resolution.
My phone is broken, I cant make a call whatsoever, or be called for that matter, the only way i cant call or be called is if i set the phone to 2G only, and then people cant hear me.
Doesn't matter if on 4g/3g/2g the signal drops regularly rendering the phone useless .
I emailed the support but they keep pushing me by stating that they need to analyse the logs.
What would you guys do?
I mean , that a device that in the first 2 months has problems, no drops, no splashes, not even root.....there has to be a law or something to protect the customer in situations like this....
If anyone has a suggestion, please feel free to share, for other people ...well you've been warned.

I would flash the phone back to the latest stock oos through fastboot again first and see if the problem is resolved. If not then I would send it to OnePlus for a replacement. I had the same issue back in the day with a Note 3 that had radio issues and it ended up being a bad phone.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
That was step 4, they did that for me, but they used a software ,,quallcom something'' it was basically a odin like app , flashed the entire phone ,system modem ..all of it
I would psot the files but they sent me in a password protected zip and then they deleted the files
Send it in for repair or replacement. It's up to OnePlus how they handle this case. You have done more than enough.
You should add a date (14 days max) when you expect your or a new device back. Else they must refund you.
Are you sure that your SIM card is good? Does the SIM card work in another phone?

Then send it back - has to be a hardware issue with the phone itself
OP like to ignore RMAs.

Off course they do. If they continue to refuse, point out to hand the matter over to a lawyer within 7 workdays.

So after 10+ days from posting the logs, and a lot of back and forth useless mails they are saying the same stuff.
This will be my last one+ product
So the story ended by oneplus repairing the phone.
The motherboard was changed.
