Hey guys, i once again have another issue with my nexus 5. This time instead of the heat it is the camera. Every once in a while when i open my camera app it just shows a black screen. I need to reboot the phone to fix this. My phone is not rooted yet and i have only had it for 2 days. If anyone can provide any insight for me that would be great. Do you guys think its a hardware or software problem?

So I recently purchased the NS. I have one problem though: the very right side of the screen (0.5 cm from the end of the screen) the touchscreen is very unresponsive. Sometimes it responds sometimes it doesn't. On my previous phone (LG Optimus 2x) when running CM7 there was the same glitch. The very left side on my NS it's very responsive. I'm running stock 2.3.6 . What is my problem?
Thanks
U just got the phone and having all Stock with that issue, if I was u, I would use the warranty to solve that imediatly (or u can try to upgrade to newer ROM to see if that's a software prob.)
cheers
wipe the screen down with some alcohol to be sure

Don't do this, you'll risk prematurely eating your oleophobic coat. I'd find some touchscreen testing app first, and if the problem persists go to samsung.
Ok, I updated to 2.3.6 and the touchscreen is a bit better. Maybe that's just my impression. Are you sure none of you have this problem? hmm. So should I send it to Samsung for repair?
I haven't had this problem at all, my phones touchscreen is flawless everywhere. I would first talk to samsung and hope you don't get someone incompetent, then send it in if need be.

OH man. I don't want to be phoneless for a month though However I do have a year warranty and I only purchased the phone 3 days ago so I can wait and see if it get's worse before returning it for repair. It really doesn't bother me for now since I never touch the last 3 mm of the screen anyways.
Hi everyone, my desire s is acting strange since few days back.. it keeps on restarting for no reason. At first I thought its due to kernel updates to modified kernel 3. But then I installed reaper gingerbread. It restarted when I opened camera.
Then I installed Nik's project x . Still same problem sometimes when I open camera or other heavy application.
It restarts continuously 5-6 times without completely booting and battery drains to 10-15% from 80-90% within 5 minutes..
I've not got this problem when in charging mode..
I'm now using ice_ds 4.3
If anyone have same problem before , is there a solution to this?
Thanks in advance..

I think it's my Battery problem. Now it restart as soon as I unplugged the power cable.
I didn't find a way to close this thread,
Could anyone tell me how do I close this thread ?
Just add [Solved] to the front of the title, then people will know (edit the first post)

I get this too on all custom ROMS.. sometimes if I knock the phone a certain way it resets.. so it must be hardware related.
Can you let me know what your 'SOLUTION' is? All I see if the cause. Thx

my solution: buy new battery :laugh:
Put a bit of paper between the battery and the holder clip, that fixed it for me to keep the battery in place.
Hey guys,
I just got a Atrix 2 from a buddy of mine who recently upgraded phones. The screen is cracked and has 2 black spots, so I ordered a new screen and digitizer for it.
Anyways, the only other issue is that the camera does not work. I did a factory reset, and installed the ICS upgrade from android 2.3. Thinking maybe that would fix the camera not working issue. But it did not. Front camera works occasionally, but main camera never does and FC's camera app.
Is this a hardware or software issue? Are there any troubleshooting that I could try? If the camera itself is bad, I would simply install a new one while I have the phone tore down to install new screen and digitizer.
Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated guys!
Thank you!
Try installing the "Ucam" app from the playstore and check if you can open it.
Why upgraded to ICS when jellybean is already available??(I think you did system update in the setting) If the above app also dosnt work then you can try installing a jellybean rom and check..
Is your sd card properly working?
Thank you for the reply! I tried installing the camera app you mentioned, and still does not work. It force closes, unless you choose the front camera.
As for why i didn't install JellyBean, honestly ive never rooted a phone nor have i installed a rom or the like. I simply downloaded and installed the OTA update to ICS. I wouldnt even know where to begin to root or install a custom Rom to be honest lol
Is it possible the camera hardware itself is bad? I downloaded a flashlight app, and the flash does not work either.
Thanks again guys!

I also have experianced similar problems with the camera couple of times long ago..(probably when I was in ICS)
A simple reboot used to fix the issue..
I am not sure about your case.

to verify whether it is a hardware fault, i think you'd better to try several other ROMs first,
then you can have a conclusion....
Hi guys, I met problem with my Nexus 5 for few day, sometime the screen noise as the old TV, especially when I typing a messages or chat, pls help I really very worry
I don't have a video for that, but it look nearly like the image, sometime it noise all screen, sometime a litte I'm using Pure Light Speed X ROM
________________________
er...I found the cause, kernel is conflict with my using ROM, try diffrent rom and it's OK
Seems like a hardware issue. Did it happen before you flashed?

Hey was that something like this, it happened with me once.
Funny, I'm having this issue as well. I wonder what's causing this? Are you undervolted?
I think its a hardware issue maybe the LCD data ribon cable is faulty as seeing this as a kid when you unskrew the cable connection to the TV you get a similar effect

Yeah this is a hardware issue, RMA it ASAP.
er...I found the cause, kernel is conflict with my using ROM, try diffrent rom and it's OK
Old thread but I'm still a Nexus 5 user and this randomly started happening to me, I verified it wasn't software when forced a restart in all modes and still had it. Long story short, had pieces from my old Nexus 5, replaced the ribbon and all good for 2 days now.
I've seen that too, in my situation it's caused by one particular APP that seems no compatible with either ROM or kernel, just force stop the APP and the issue is solved.
Maybe you can try another ROM or kernel to see if it still happens.
Hello
recently i took my nexus 5 to lg and they replaced my motherboard
now about almost a month later
all the sudden i get this error
"
unfortunately camera has stopped"
the only fix to this is to restart it,it works fine after that
this use to happen to me on stock
now i rooted it and am using DroidKang ROM
what shall i do guys ?
Try a non aosp based ROM like CyanogenMod they may have done things different try that if it doesn't work call lg again

@hollowback
Force Close camera and gallery... Clear camera and gallery cache/data and reboot...
Now see whether you get the error again after sometime?
Btw, when LG had replaced your motherboard, were you rooted? Did they check whether you had a unlocked bootloader or anything like that??
-Flowed from an IceCold Hammerhead!
This is actually a very common issue. As of now the best fix is a reboot. It's triggered by certain apps. Do you use snap chat?
I used to have that issue. If I remember correctly it would happen when you would sleep the phone while in snapchat.
hello friends
first

i dout he saw the root thing.
