Howdy folks-
I'm having some issues with my Nexus 5 and hoping someone has some insight. During phone calls my screen becomes inoperable-it is completely dark and nothing I do aside from hanging up the phone with the power but does anything. And even that takes three or four pushes before it wakes up again. When I'm using bluetooth and have the phone on my center console (laying flat) I have use of the screen for in call actions etc. but then and only then. I've used several different roms, kernels, etc. and am on the second screen. Problem has been consistent but sometimes worse depending on rom (sometimes I have to completely reboot during a call to regain functionality).
Also having a problem with YouMail completely leaving the phone useless and inoperable during and after use. I can use the power button to eventually end everything and often have to reboot the phone to use again.
Currently using Bricked Kernel and Droidkang V18
Any help would be much appreciated.
Am having similar problems on a rooted Nexus 5 running stock rom and T-Mobile.
If I need to use the keyboard during a call, the keyboard flashes on and off making it impossible to enter sequential numbers. Makes the phone unusable.
Yep-been there done that. No bueno. Would love some help.........

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)
Hello Guys,
I started to have problems with my wing and end up in three-color bootloader screen. I can tell you that I am not playing around with my phone. I do not even install any software not to risk its basic phone functionality since I am using this phone as a business phone. So, no crazy rom flash or etc has been done prior to this problem.
My phone started to have problems with answering calls last week. When it was ringing, it was keep ringing and I was not able to take the call even though I was pressing every possible buttons on the phone. It was locking.
I noticed that phone was locking the buttons too. So, I selected "do not lock buttons when the device is off". But, this does not have any effect. Phone was keep locking my buttons.
Last night, I noticed that my phone was unresponsive once again as usual, I soft reset the device, and it booted to the three color screen (I think you guys call this bootloader screen?) where it says "IPL 4.26.0002" and "SPL 4.26.0000". Tried to soft reset probably another 10 more times. same thing...
I took out the battery, went to sleep. Put back the battery in the morning, it booted to the OS and phone is running. But none of the hard buttons were working. It also hangs up the incoming call after first ring. I soft reset the device once again and it went back to the three-color screen.
I went to the Tmobile website, and found that there is an upgrade ROM. I downloaded and ran that program. It said that it installed it to the device successfully, and then the device rebooted itself. Guess what, back to the three-color screen.
I have been reading your forum since morning, and read a lot about brick phones etc. I tried couple of the techniques for recovering brick phones, but nothing helped. Hopefully, someone here can tell me what is going on, even though if the answer is to throw the device to the trash.
Additional Observations
It looks like nobody is interested
I have other observations.
- When "do not lock buttons" is checked, phone starts acting even more weirder. it generates keystrokes by itself. Camera starts taking photos.
- If the battery of the phone is out at least an hour (I don't know why), phones boots fine. If you soft reset at the moment, it will always goes back to the three color bootloader.
Can this be a virus?
I have an HTC Fuze (Touch Pro) running on AT&T's network. I am using SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.1 instead of TouchFlo. When making or receiving a phone call, once the call disconnects or I hang up my phone freezes! No response to button presses or screen taps, just frozen. This lasts anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds before it releases everything back to normal. Any thoughts out there???
What Rom are you running? The stock original rom?
2 suggestions:
1) If you are incessant about not upgrading your ROM to something a bit more colorful, faster, Do a hard reset (BACK UP ALL DATA AND SETTINGS TO EXTERNAL DRIVE) by holding the volume up and the center button on the front of your phone, and then insert your stylus into the reset button on the bottom (i find holding the phone power-button into your gut works best for keeping the phone stable) - keep holding unil the reset to factory defaults screen comes up.
2) Flash your phone to a much better ROM and enjoy a better way of life. (I'm all about the energy roms, but many people swear by others)
Thanks for the tip. I'm actually running the latest official stock rom the HTC released a five or six months ago, for AT&T WM 6.1. Maybe I'll give another ROM a try sometime.

It's probably Mobile Shell. It seems to have some bugs. For instance, when I am done with a call, it sometimes it just hangs on the screen where you can choose which number to call for someone. I have to go into the Task Manager and kill it, which doesn't kill the entire program, just that window. I'm so annoyed by it, that I am probably going to get rid of it.
I'm running energy ROM, if it matters (don't remember which version).
it can also be your radio. When I was originally flashing radios, I found out that some give me stronger signals, but it crashes my phone right after the call. look into that as well.
The other day, I hit the power button on my touch pro, and the screen didn't come on. I did a soft reset, and it started working again. Now today, the same thing is happening, but a soft reset isn't helping.
The screen's back light comes on, the LEDs on the buttons come on, and the phone seems to be working fine. I hear all the sounds, including the HTC sound while it is booting, and the new message sound, but the screen stays black. It still recognizes touches, it just doesn't show an image. I want to do a hard reset, and will if I can get it to come one one more time, but its been about a month since I backed up my contact list. Lesson learnt there. I'm afraid it might be a hardware problem since I don't see anything while its booting either.
Anyone know if this is a known hardware issue with the touch pro? The phone is less then 3 months old, and I've been real careful with it. I haven't dropped it from more then 2 feet, and even that was onto carpet. Its the Verizon version if that makes a difference, and I'm running one of the NFSFAN roms. Its not the newest one, but rather the one posted on October 19th. I doubt its the rom, though, as I've been using it for around 2 months with no issues.
EDIT: Ok, I went into the bootloader to see if it was hardware of software. I figured if it was hardware, the screen would be black, and if it was software, it would be the rainbow. Sure enough, the screen stayed black. Hit the reset button, and the screen actually came on! Go figure. Went to do a backup, and the screen literally crapped out on me while I was watching it. Definitely a hardware problem.
similar with Touch HD... kinda
I've been having a similar problem with my Touch HD. The problem is very intermittent though and is sometimes hard to reproduce. The screen and phone will be working fine then once in a while when I push the power button to lock the phone, I'll unlock it and the screen stays black. I know that the phone is still on and even unlocked because pushing the buttons at the bottom makes the phone vibrate. The only consistency in reproducing the problem happens after I do something major on the phone such as making a phone call, browsing the internet, sometimes charging the phone. Other than that, I can sit here and push the power button all day and it'll come on and off with no problems. When the screen does go black I've taken the battery out repeatedly as well as repeatedly rebooted the phone until it comes back on. I've tried doing hard and soft resets to no avail. I've tried deactivating "turn off backlight if device is not used for" and "turn off device if not used for" without any resolve. After this I've even left the screen on (disabled backlight off) to see if it flickers or shows any sign of being faulty and it seems to be fine. I'm currently on Dutty's HD WM 6.5 Leo R5 WWE rom, but this has happened with two other roms (NRG, LIA). Other info include:
OS: 5.2.23016
Manila: 2.519192828.0
Radio: 1.14.25.24
Protocol: 52.64.25.34H
I guess the only consistent software has been my radio. Please help! Any advice would be awesome. I've tried google search and xda search without much help. Thanks
Hi, I've been using ViperS 5.1.2 for some time now on my Sensation XE, and it used to work great for me. But since a few days I've got this really annoying freezing problem and I just cannot find a solution.
The touch screen just freezes without any reason, sometimes after using the phone for half an hour, but most of the time within a few seconds after unlocking the screen. When it freezes, the screen won't respond to anything, also not on the back or home button. If I use the on/off button though, the screen will respond again for one or more seconds. This happens randomly; a lot of times I can't even unlock the screen properly, and the rest of the time I only get the screen working normal for a at most 10 seconds. This way it can take a few minutes just getting to the settings menu, for example. The phone does not report any error; after using the on/off button it just goes on where it froze. Also the phone reacts to tilting the screen. Or when playing a video, this just keeps playing normally. So it seems to be purely the screen itself...
I tried a lot to figure out what could be the cause of this problem: uninstalled a lot of recently installed or updated apps, checked the amount of free space/RAM, cleared cache, Dalvik, used nandroid backups to return to a previous (in the past good working) state, tried if removing the sd card would make any difference and finally flashed the rom again. All to no avail; the problem keeps occurring. At first, after trying out a possible solution like the ones I've mentioned, it looks like this did the trick. Sometimes the phone appears to work normal for at most half an hour. But then the problem occurs again, and will at that point occur at a high frequency.
I am out of idea's right now and am getting quite desperate. I need this phone to work properly badly, as I will go on my vacation in a few days and really need to be able to use some of my apps then. So I do hope somebody can help me out here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Does it do this while connected to the charger or usb.??

Yes, does not make any difference. I found today that the phone is now also acting strange in clockworkmod recovery touch, that's for the first time. Can't properly use the touch screen there either any more, only with hardware buttons. So now I guess this should really be a hardware issue. Maybe the phone is just dying...
Yess its a common thing for our phone to act that way while charging.... It has somtheing to do with its poor grounding. You can find threads to help u with how to solve it.
