I've noticed a problem that has happened twice with my new Nexus 5 so far - it will vibrate and then turn off. I don't know if it is going through its full shutdown sequence or not as what has happened is that the phone has not been in use, in my pocket once and I don't remember what the other time, and all of a sudden it vibrates once out of the blue, I go to check the phone and it is off. I can turn it back on again but find it weird that it seems to be crashing and then not even restarting - but being off. It is not rooted but the bootloader is unlocked so I can root in the future, if needed.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

It's really disgusting and I don't know what I have to do for solve this neither...
Maybe use a manual one over a vibrator

Yesterday while toggling airplane mode I got a reboot. First yet and it was on gingerbread..i just had another one while accident pressing power for too long..
the phone reboots just holding power even if the screen is off. Maybe just maybe this button is getting pressed for too long I their pockets or just pressing power to toggle airplane mode and its rebooting. Or maybe something with this function bugging out...
Anyone else notice phone reboots just holding power for too long?
Edit:Im almost positive this is what caused my reboots
My phone was on the charger last night only for me wake up and it was off. Full battery when I powered it on.
Doubt its being turned off my accident.

As I said, some people.. Maybe some is legit but others are this issue..
Or like I said, something related to that. Maybe bugging out or something.. Just seems weird that holding power causes a reboot.
A lot of my reboots were spontaneous when I wasn't even touching the phone. Also when it was charging overnight.

Maybe somehow the phone off has a bug thinking the power button is being held in or just that function bugging out when the phone is off...
Dont know just a thought.but I'm positive this rebooted mine.
Definitively not by accident!! And the damn thing reboots by itself every 5mn for a few times while I was watching it doing that while plugged in, then turns off by itself in the middle oh the night, I'm getting another one, and another one until I get a working one with no light bleed. I'll receive my 3rd one in a few days.

Mine just did it again. I didn't have the problem on the stock rom, CM7, EaglesBlood or any other rom aside from the unofficial Gingerbread leak.
The rom itself it very nice considering CM7 has weird issues of its own, but resetting/locking up is a big no-no.
As I said earlier my phone was off this morning after flashing the leaked rom last night. I wiped several times this morning, flashed Eaglesblood, wiped again, and again, flashed the leaked Gingerbread, wiped and wiped again.
Set the phone up but didn't install any apps (testing). Cooked breakfast; fine, watched a TV show; fine, took a shower; fine, got dressed; fine, stepped outside for a second; locked up.
The phone was on because when I pressed the power button the touch panel lit up. The lockscreen showed for a second then went out. Then it was unresponsive. I held the power button down for a few seconds, which turned the phone off, then held it again to turn it back on.
Sucks. Must be the rom. Weird why the stock didn't do it, nor others. Others are claiming theirs are fine.
It is SO weird how these problems aren't across the board and are so random. Everything points to a kernel which wasn't included in the lacked build. Hopefully when the official one comes out, we'll get an updated kernel to go with it.
I think it's the overheating problem. My first phone was very hot and had 3 reboots in 5 days. New one I have has no reboot yet and doesn't get as hot like the other one. PCs get BSOD or freezing when overheating. G2X gets Black Screen of Death and freezing.

This could very well be. especially since a lot of people have reboots when charging and that generally makes the phones temp higher...
Luckily I'm good...
If I had the rebooting problem, I would definitely exchange my device. I haven't had any reboots or freezes though.

U could be right but my phone shuts down a few times right after charging. But then for the rest of the night it won't shut down anymore. Sometimes it shuts down in the middle of the night too, it's very randomly. How do u explain that?

Hi there,
I have the usual touch screen issues as well, but haven't heard of this one: anyone experiencing the phone shutting down while in your pocket?
I have this quite often meanwhile, and no use in saying it is annoying. As much as I'd love it to be a software bug, I'd suspect it to be a loose connection between phone and battery, maybe. Only once in a while I have a restart, but most of the time my phone is simply off. Pressing the power button boots it up again. I can even provoke it sometimes in my hand when I am moving or pressing the phone a bit.
Sounds like a hardware defect. I havent experienced such behaviour nor have I read any similar issues. I suggest contacting HTC.

My phone has also been restarting at random. It has happened more than 3 times today. On top of that, when it comes back on the apps on my sd card don't show their logos on my homescreen. I have to delete them and readd to get the logos to appear. Any ideas?

I'm experiencing the same issue. When I have my phone in my pocket it randomly shuts down. I don't know if it has something to do with battery contact. My experience was this only happens when my phone is under a certain battery level, like 40%. When I restart the phone everything its normal til it happens again and I boot it up the battery percentage jumps from 40% to about 18%.
The strange thing is when I try to charge, it charges up to 87% and it stops charging, while its still shows like it its charging.
only when I reboot it's shows 100%.
I haven't tried hard reset, maybe tomorrow.
Hello i just got a sensation the other day. I was using it for awhile then i decided to turn it off after i selected power off it started to turn off but when it was done with the animations it still stayed on. The screen was black but if i pressed the unlock button it still made the unlock sound. After about 30 seconds it stopped and it was off. I was wondering if anyone was expericeing this glitch?
Turn off fast boot and see if problem occurs

This is happening to me almost everyone
I turn it off. But it only stays on for about 10 seconds.
The same thing still happened , execpt the screen went off quicker.
Hey guys!
I just returned home and my Nexus 5 wouldn't react when I pressed the power button to wake it up. I pressed it shortly, then for some 10 seconds, no reaction. I thought the battery might have died, so I plugged in the charger, no reaction. After pressing the power button for 30 seconds or something like that, the phone finally started up.
I was listening to music the whole way home, so it must have happened when I unplugged the headphones or shortly after that. Is this something similar to the Nexus 4 SoD?
The phone works now as if it never happened, the battery is half full.
Has this happend to anyone before, too?
Side note: I have my Nexus 5 unlocked and rooted. Also the latest update is installed. No custom recovery.
Used Pandora radio for 4 hours today and its been fine. What app were you using?

Google Play Music :S Needs to be said that I listened to music 90 minutes straight, which cached some amount of data.
This just happened to me. Just bought the phone, performed the update . started looking through play store to manually reinstall my apps. Got side tracked , placed the phone down, came back 10 mins later, and it was off, pressed power for about 20 secs came back on?? As normal.
I bought this phone to replace my s4.
In the 4months I had my s4, I never had 1 issue!! This is worrying me

I found this happened to most my Android device Atleast ones, including my gs4 and nexus 7 flo. Don't know the cause but it hasn't happened on my Nexus 5 yet. I'm not worried anymore though since this happened to most of my device in the past. But yeah holding the power button until it restarts is the way to go.

I never had this with my SGS3 and my HTC One. Is this software related? I would be so pissed off if we were the ones with faulty hardware...

I never had problems with my GNex, however my wife's SGS3 one day started freezing (sleep of death style) and rebooting randomly. The problem was power saving mode following one of the updates. Does N5 have something similar?

I dont know, I cant really tell since I had my device for only 3 days now. But it seemed to be random, I just pulled it out of my pocked after a days work and it wouldn't turn on
Has anyone been able to alleviate this issue? I was having it happen every other day or so with Xposed installed. I uninstalled it, and it'll still happen when listening to Google Play Music. I've got a Nexus 4, rooted, with the latest update.
i am having a similar issue, but i think it's related to the bluetooth bug in android 4.4.2, whenever i send some file to other device and don't switch off the bluetooth before the device gets locked, then it's impossible to wake up the screen unless i press the power button for 10 secs, which causes the hard reboot. I know that phone is working as pressing the power button causes a vibration indicating that power menu has popped, but screen remains blank..
any of you guys having SoD using custom kernel like franco?
For those having the SOD issue, post a logcat after it happens and maybe someone can help

started happening to me too recently
Nexus 5 stock no root, 5.0.1
Only when using popcorn time, not all the time, when it wouldnt wake up, notification led was blinking. Everytime it froze, not led was blinking.
Might sound like cache going crazy or something. Phone wasnt hot at all.
Can i get a logcat without root?
Thx!
I am running stock right now and have had this issue for the past 2 weeks or so. multiple times a day. running a logcat, it's hard because you never know when it is going to happen. intermittent problems are the worst.
Guys, any success with identifying the root cause in your case?
I have the same now on my stock marshmallow (without root)
Hello--I've been having a minor but strange problem lately: my phone doesn't vibrate when it shuts down.
I've tested this on different sound (vibrate/silent/normal) settings and no matter what my phone does not vibrate when it powers off.
I'm not sure when this started, i.e. if you're going to ask me whether this stared after an OTA or something
I remember some time in the distinct past it used to vibrate, and the nexus 4 and galaxy nexus I had before most certainly did that as well.
My phone still vibrates on all other occasions.
I am fully stock (4.4.3 KTU84M), rooted
My phone doesn't vibrate on shutdown either. Nothing to worry about..
