[Q] [Q\Help] How to reset Nexus 5 if its stuck?
Hello,
For some reason today Ive entered "castle clash" game and the screen froze and nothing works.
I had music on at the time and I could make it lower or louder, I can turn on and off the screen, I can take screenshots but the screen is stuck at the app and it doesnt react to anything.
How do I restart the phone? cuz unless I wait till my battery dies I see no other way :\
Thank you very much.
FOUND, Had to just press and hold for long period of time.
Crisis averted.

Hi guys,
When I get a message the phone vibrates 3 times, like normal. But sometimes randomly it vibrates 1 time and then unlimited vibration. Until I get it out of my pocket and press the powerbutton so the screen goes on again. When the screen is on again the phone resumes the 2 vibrates. Very strange. I had it on multiple roms with different radio's. I don't use TF3D but HTC Home Plugin VGA edition.
I've experienced the same issue you speak of with the stock ROM, and I haven't found a solution or cause yet either.
I think it was this what caused my phone to sometimes go out. Because the vibration consumed all the power.
Do you use Touch Flo?

That would be the angry bee. It is something that just happens. I've had it so bad that I have had to soft reset the phone. It only happens to me every great once in a while. However, I haven't run the stock rom since about 2 hours after buying the phone.
has happened to me twice now.
ive had the phone about 2 months.

I've had it happen to me a few times and had to soft reset it to make it stop. It doesn't happen too often, so I haven't been too worried about it.
I've had it happen when I launch an application just as it is starting to vibrate to signal a notification.
Do you guys also always have it as the second vibration? When it hangs it always is the second vibration at me. And when I press the screen again he makes 2 after it again.
I had a similar issue with the initial stock rom - my wife messaged me in the middle of a meeting and my phone would not STOP VIBRATING. Since it was on the desk, it buzzbuzzbuzzed really loud.
Now I'm on the Energy 3.0 rom and have not had an issue. Even with the updated leaked stock rom I didn't have the issue.
I discover that it only vibrates wrongly when I have the screen off. Pretty annoying though.
Don't we use some kind of stuff in common?
I use:
HTC Home VGA Edition for front end instead of manilla
HomeScreen++ for the handy shortcuts
I checked some things again, I am not 100% sure but I think it was HomeScreen++ that caused the problems here. The exact settings: at the Tools tab "Lock if Display is Off and vice versa, which didn't work anyway at the touch pro (did work on htc's I had before though), but I checked it off and now it still rings 3 times and no less or more. Hope this was it.
I do not use HomeScreen++ and it happens to me at least once a day, sometimes twice. Mine always seems to happen on the third vibrate, it will do the first two and then the third one just stays on. I press the power button for the screen to come back on and it stops.
I have it too sometimes.
EnergyRom 3.0
And you guys have something that auto lock the screen when you press the power off button? Or do you lock the screen before pressing the power button? Because here it seems to have something to do with the locking in combination of the standby mode (screen off)
Today, about 20 min ago my galaxy s3 froze for the first time I had it ( about 3 month). So I press the power button to check the screen and saw that wifi wasn't on. I check the notification it was turned off when It was on just a while ago. When i went to click it to turn it on. My phone completely froze, everything was on the screen was stuck on the notification page and no matter what i press it was just stuck there. I had to hold down the power button for 20 sec to do a soft reset. Its now back to normal but I was wondering if this was because of some kind of wifi crash?
Today's installed app:
Adobe air ( no clue what it does yet)
file manager ( well installed last night before bed)
Nothing else was installed.
Oh and I was also wondering my ram is always at 1.2 gb+ out of 1.59gb. Is this a start of some kind of software or hardware problem? or is it normal for a phone to sometime freeze like that. My first smartphone, my dumb phone has never froze before so kind of worry.
Sorry I'm a noob with android but I love it! Just want to make sure and take early precaution before anything really serious happen. Thanks!
EDIT: PROBLEM FIXED, changed the power button at a mobile producer. Thanks for the help
Hi XDA's!
My nexus 5 is in bootloop, with endless on and offs. Whenever the phone was on it tries to open up the "turn off-menu" and spams that command over and over again till it just turns off. And then granted there is power in it it turns back on, and during the boot just kills off again and restarts (the fact that it starts itself over again without any input from me is confusing to understand). Im guilty of installing Cryogenmod, and now something is wrong with the installation (even though i installed like 6 months ago, just randomly occured when i popped it in the power socket, without any like installation of any patches).
At the moment it only shows the google popup, and soon after starts to load the cryogen, but thats usually where its killed off, much like when im in the process of going to bootloader to factory reset (there isnt enough time). I did get a signal about the system (android) had temporarly stopped working when i one time managed to come through the loop, but not anymore. The lack of bootloader optionality makes it a lot harder, and thats why id love descriptive guides!
thanks for helping me unbrick my phone! Kitten for those who read the whole post ,

It sounds like it could be a stuck power button but your description is a little confusing to me. Try mashing the power button a number of times to see if you can get it to unstick. If you have a case on, take it off.

No case, no stuck power button from what i perceive/feel. Still i tried to see if it was stuck, but i wouldnt be so sure of it-. The fact that i did get a crash about the operating system when the problems culminated steered me towards believing it is a software problem, but that wouldnt describe the automatic turn on whenever i supply it with power? Your suggestion makes most sense tbh.
The problem is that it automatic goes on whenever it has power, and crashes 5 seconds later, just to resume the pattern, Im NOT turning it on by myself, it does it itself, meaning there most be some problem with the power button?
Hello,
I have/had a Nexus 5 (8gb) running CM 12 nightly. I was playing a game on it one morning, Racing RIvals to be specific, then a popup popped up on my screen saying Android System UI is not responding. I clicked OK then it locked my device and brought me back to the lockscreen. I unlocked the device with my passcode and it brought me back into the game but now phone was unresponsive. I held the power button down for some time hoping it would restart my device, upon doing this my device turned off and would not turn back on. I held the power button down for some time and then I felt vibrations but nothing appeared on the screen. I kept doing this and sometimes the screen would light up but will be blank and have nothing showing on the screen. I tried booting into fastboot but that was no hope. I think I have almost tried everything there is to do and nothing works. If I can get any help with my issue it will be much appreciated.
Thank You.
If you can't get it to boot, and can't get into fastboot, then it's likely you won't be able to fix it. Let it sit on the charger overnight, and if you still can't get into it, then you'll probably have to RMA it, unfortunately.
Hi, I have Nexus 5 32GB for 1.5 years long.
Today I was talking on phone, puted it in my pocket, and after 5 minuets i took it out the pocket to make a call, but it was resarting itself. Since than, It doesn't work.
It turns on, shows the "Google" screen and then restart.
