Hello guys,
my N5 makes sometimes a sound, which appears and stops randomly...
I have attached a recording of it.
I have unlocked bootloader, root and cwm installed.
Also I have done a backup of my old phone with titanium and restored the data on my Nexus.
I don't know exactly when the sound appeared the first time, cause the phone was long time in silent mode. I have already wiped all user data but this wasn't succesful...
Has someone of you the same problem or a solution for it?
Lol.
That's a very very funny voice to just start randomly coming out of a phone. Try flashing the stock rom, stock recovery etc.
Already tried, but no change...
But know i found the reason by accident: It was the NFC Sound, cause it was always scanning my MRT Card

Jep, as I heard the sound I would've also said that it is the NFC. But funny though.

I have s-off, rooted, was using insertcoin...Just thought I'd install the Revolution ROM. Did the wipe and then installed ROM. EVerything seem to be fine and it rebooted. Then I reinstalled apps through titanium backup.
When I was using the phone to call...after a minute or so...it started to make this long tone sound and everything freezes. It seem to reboot...and back to working again. I thought it was due to some apps still being reinstalled?
In any case, when I made call again...again after a minute or so..it started making that same tone....and it turned off.
Now, it won't respond at all. I tried pulling out battery...no matter what I do...the phone will not turn on.
please help! Is this bricked? I pretty much followed all the steps. I selected stock kernel instead of custom when prompted.

Try to boot with adb.

Hi...I am trying to install the new SDK package...but I do have the older ADB and when I tried it..it first says ADB sever out of date...then started daemon...and attached list showed nothing?
When I plug the phone in...there's no response from the PC..it won't beep or show anything connected on USB!
I just tried to run adb after installing the latest sdk package. Running adb from the platform-tool directory...the device listed is empty....doesn't seem to be recognizing the phone!
Any other ideas? Is this completely bricked?
I wouldn't call it a brick per se, but this has happened to more Sensations than you may realize. Most people who've reported said they went to bed (phone on or off the charger) and when they wake up, it just won't turn on.
Honestly, I believe it's a random catastrophic hardware issue. I think some Sensations are faulty and have a lower temperature threshold or something, not sure, but what you described seems hardware related.
Edit: Just reread about that tone. A long tone? Although you were on a phone call so it's no guarantee, something like a long speaker tone or a screen spazzing out (I work in electronics) tend to mean something hardware related. Again, not 100% solid, but that's how it usually turns out.
Also, don't believe this happened because you flashed a different rom or something, there is just no way flashing a rom would kill a phone. If that were true, normal software updates or factory resetting could cause the same thing, and they simply don't.
Yes..it could be hardware related? The thing is, if it's bricked...I would think this wouldn't boot into the new ROM at all.. mine booted to the new ROM and I was able to restore all the apps...but all of a sudden while on the phone...I heard this long tone from the phone....then it just turned off.
The problem is, since this is rooted...doesn't it void waranty? Also, I am in Canada using a t-mobile phone I bought from the States...so I can't really bring it back to fix?
Wonder if I could get HTC to fix it?
It basically just died...battery was 100% when I was updating.
Any suggestion of what I should do?

take off the battery, SD card, SIM card and then put them back again.....try to press power+volume down (even power+volume up & down, all buttons) to see if you can log into the recovery...I don't know if this works but since your phone is almost dead, you won't lose anything to try any method...Do you think so?
If anything you have tried does not enable the phone to work normally again, please try to turn to some body who can check and repair the hardware of your phone for help...It could take a long time to send it back to HTC.....
Hope everything is going well with you.
Nothing works..I've tried taking out Battery..talked with HTC and they tried that with me too...but basically the phone is completely unresponsive. I am just wondering if it's a problem with the ROM or if it's a hardware thing. It seems strange it booted up ok and then had this long beep/tone thing.
There seem to be one other person posted in Q&A experiencing exactly the same thing...he was using revolution 6.6.3 and also had that sound and now it won't turn on!
I have talked to HTC and got a repair ticket...not sure if anyone locally can fix it...just wonder if HTC will have problems with it being rooted and all.
He was running ARHD 6.6.3?! I just downloaded it, now I'm weary to flash O.O
@newr
can you try one thing?
Remove battery ,sdcard, then connect the phone to power outlet using usb then try to power on the phone.?
If it doesn't turn on then remove the back shell too and try to power it on again?
sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
Thanks for the suggestion. But again nothing happened. I've tried taking out SD, SIM, battery...with or without cover. Nothing turns the phone on...also no light when charging. It's like the phone is just dead?
There's one other post by someone on the forum that says his phone doesn't turn on..and it seem to happen the exact same way. He said he was running 6.6.3 and then all of a sudden a long beep/tone...then stuck..so turned it off and won't turn on again. Haven't seen any update / resolution there neither!
I am still not sure if it's a ROM problem or if it's a hardware problem. The thing is, the ROM did get installed and was rebooted...in fact, I used Titanium to reinstalled all the apps...unless restoring some data for things like bluetooth settings, desktop etc..causes it...which was fine when I restored it for InsertCoin...I don't understand how a ROM could cause a phone not to turn on at all?
I guess unless there are other ways to fix this..looks like it's sending back to HTC...hopefully they can't fix it neither and just send a different phone since if they turn it on and notice I have it rooted and S-On..they might just blame it on that!
Hello, before I installed Sky Map everything worked perfect on my rooted n5. I uninstalled skymap because I noticed that the app isn't working with 4.4 (cannot get input from sensors, so the sky stays still and you cannot point any star).
After that my N5 seems to "switch off" all of the accelerometers after about 10 minutes or half an hour. Until I reboot there is no way to make these sensors work. Every wallpaper or app that I can use for testing the accelerometers is like frozen.
Anyone noticed this behavior on his nexus? I cannot keep rebooting over and over all day long.... And there's nothing to flash or recovery since I didn't flash anything weird.

I noticed that EVERY sensor was dying after a couple of minutes. I flashed a CWM in order to wipe dalvik cache (I found in some forums that this operation may help) but got stuck in "wiping cache....".
Hard rebooted with longpress of the power button... and at the restart the phone was unable to read the (gsm) networks too.
So I downloaded the latest stock firmware and flashed it over.... goodbye. Things looks okay now, but I hate to be defeated so easily: the problem is that I fear a full-brick since this ain't no SGS2 any more and there's no usb jig to use in case of disaster. (happened 4+ times on former gs2).
I hope that a factory flash/downgrade won't be the solution for everyone having my same sensor issue.
Did you install any app that monitors the barometricc pressure when sleeping/standby?
If yes, this is a known issue because the access method to sensors while sleeping are different in 4.4.
Apps like these, that were correctly working with 4.3, will crash all sensors like barometer, cyroscope ... compass in 4.4.

try installing an app to read all the sensor data, like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innoventions.sensorkinetics
if EVERY sensor look dead probably it's a software issue, if only the accelerometers don't work... my feelings would be that's a hardware fault... In that case it'd be better to ask for a replacement
Yeah that app reads accelerometer movements on x y z I think its a software thing. I'll try re flashing to see if problem's gone .. I'll post the result

Received my n5 yesterday, I rooted stock and didn't flash anything. Was working OK everything but now screen rotation stop working on every app! I read in another post that installing an incompatible app that uses sensors may break it but as far as I know before it died I only receive updates for YouTube and superSU. Anyone else having similar issues? Maybe time for its firts re-flashing ?

I had a similar issue yesterday. I'm rooted and superSU'ed and no 3rd party kernels/roms etc. Everything was working like charm unless I installed an app (a random picked one from the market) to test the barometer.
Effects:
accelerometers stuck (= dead) after a certain amount of time (10 ~ 30 minutes?), No screen rotations at all... And then I discovered that EVERY sensor was kinda muted. Only solution to get the sensor working was a reboot. But then in another 10/30 minutes they would have stopped again, over and over.
Solution:
Since I didn't knew it was an "known" (??) issue of certain barometric app reading the sensors during sleepmode (or something like that, I didn't bother), I thought I had corrupted the firmware and reflashed the latest stock firmware and rooted again.
Now everything is perfect again but probably I only needed to uninstall that crappy barometer app.
Be sure you didn't install any app dealing with the barometer. But in any case, reflashing is very very easy you can do it quickly via command line in an adb shell.
Thanks for the response..mine stoped working completely.. I didn't installed any barometer or anything related.. So I can't identify what cause this, dirty flash worked for you? I don't want to loose my configs

no I'm sorry, I flashed hammerhead-krt16m-factory-bd9c39de.tgz (I really fear brick since there's not an usb jig to save the day) and lost everything. But surprisingly enough, the second time I rooted I didn't loose anything like the first time I did (the first time I used cf-autoroot, the second time I did something manually)
Hey, but I didn't try any dirty flashing, so maybe this can be a better solution for you!
I went back to stock + relock. Still screen rotation is NOT working.. Damn!! I don't know what to do..
Hello guys
I just finished updating my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it went fine but I immidiately noticed some "problems" when I turned it on. The thing is that my touch screen is not as responsive as before 4.4.3 update. On 4.4.2 scrolling was flowy and smooth like on ice, but on 4.4.3 I got big delay (half cm of emptiness) on scrolling through gesture (apps, home or anything..) and, even worse, when I'm scrolling down my Contacts list it dials randomly due to a lagging. Is there any calibration to be done or that's it?

It doesn't sound normal. Mine is working just as smooth as it was on 4.4.2. Have you tried wiping the phone? Do a factory reset and see.

issues here
my battery went from 19% to 0 over night.... in airplane mode. previously, it would only use 3-4% overnight, esp with everything turned off. almost woke up late
also, im having a hard time answering phone calls. i slide to answer, it doesnt answer but its still ringing
I noticed that there is a bunch of different problems reported last two days and I have decided to wait for Google's response on all of this mess. But I must say that my phone is working better now and somehow it heals itself )) Maybe this update is about implementing some organic components

I'm having a lot of issues with my phone.. Seems like an sd card issue. Ant app that uses memory does not work properly... Even the camera does not load...
I'm going to do a factory reset... Any way to save all settings on stock?

I also got a big issue on 4.4.3. since the update i get sponataeuos signal dropouts especially when i travel by bus or train.
It seams the radio has problems by logging out at one cell and switch to an other cell. Also the reception/signal is very weak.
Someone noticed the same? or does anybody has a tip?
thanks in advance :good:
Are you charging your phone simultaneously or is your phone connected to a laptop? remove that and the try. lemme know.

Go to settings > apps > locate google dialer and clear cache
For battery drain, install an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats (it's free demo version is available on XDA) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Observe your device for one day after complete charge (90+) and use it.
Using that app, you'll observe the apps/wakelocks which are causing unnecessary battery drain. Eliminate them or post screenshots here so that we can help you to solve battery drain issue.

First thing to do if something is broken after an OTA is factory reset to see if it is an OS bug or whether you have incompatible data and settings.
It sounds like it would be a pain to do, but you can easily backup with helium nowadays so it needn't be

+1 - Clean wipe and see, it might fix all of your issues. Hopefully it does

GPS not Working
Has anyone else noticed if their GPS is working or not? I was trying to use mine last night and I can see that GPS connects and it brings up the map but then never navigates or even moves from the starting point on the map. Can someone let me know if this is a new problem??? I flashed the N5_4.4.3.zip file that someone pointed me to, as I had asked for a flashable zip file to update to 4.4.3 as I still have not gotten an ota notification from T-Mobile:confused
i have a question also,
what if i like the current mono toned google dialer?
when i get this update & it updates the dialer, is it possible to un-install the dialer update to revert back to the older dialer?

Yes I did. I flashed the image with the 'flash-all.bat' method which includes it [emoji17]
Anyone know waht is causing the volume level to go WAY down after I place, or receive a phone call. I love the phone very much but this is driving me crazy! I'm on T-Mobile which is working fine. I have to use the Digits app at home to make calls. But no mater if I use Digits or not, if I make or receive a call the loudness of anything on the phone basically goes away. System sounds, YouTube, Iheart radio.... Anything that uses the speakers looses all volume. I have to reboot to get it back. Pretty annoying
I am facing the same problem. It just started to happen this week.
Clearly it's boring! if your device is rooted with magisk try viper4android it's magic, believe me !
Im having a similar problem and started to notice it few days ago, mainly because I am 85% of the time using the phone on vibration only.
I don't know exactly what OP means with "goes away", if this means that the volume is low (ringing or playing music) but the controls are still to the top, then yes I'm facing it too, but, what is really strange is that for me, just the top speaker have sound, while the bottom speaker is really low.
I managed to figure out that if I cover the top speaker with my finger without "pressure" or trying to squash it, the bottom speaker start "working" again. Im lost with this situation.

Ahhh then one of the updates got messed. Sony must of messed something up. Flashed an older, firmware, different region firmware or hope for a patch from aony
No one else with this problem?
this just happened to me but after listening to spotify any way to fix this?
