Strange home screen glitch - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This just happened. Not too sure why or how it happened, but I exited the xda app and suddenly what is in the picture below is what is on my screen. Changing the wallpaper does nothing and a reboot doesn't either. I'm completely stock, rooted... Any insight?

Its should come off, happen to me once. Shut down the phone completely

The XDA app has a bad transition that looks just like that, but it goes away quickly. It looks like yours got stuck, which is something I've never seen. That's weird a reboot doesn't fix it. As much as it sucks, you may want to try clearing data in the Google Search app.

Just cleared the cache. Seems to have fixed it

Vibration force close something??

Title says it all... I will be using the phone and all of a sudden its vibrating like an app is force closing. I get no notification of something that has stopped working and at times it just randomly does it when I'm not doing anything. Also I can go to start up an app and the phone decides that it wants to restart for some reason.... the phone has not been rooted, dropped, anything... any thoughts?? BTW my Co worker has this issue as well

Google the following:
"Droid Explorer"
"logcat"
A logcat can tell you what is closing/crashing.
But what I'm mainly asking is if this is normal (to an extent) and what about the random restart when opening apps

Neither of those are normal. To figure out what, you'll need to get some debugging info (see above)
As to the random restart - does it restart just to the bootanimation, or all the way to the SAMSUNG power-on screen?

If that happens on a bone-stock non-rooted device, my instincts all say hardware failure. Take it in for warranty service.
Ok so maybe this will help... I do remember when I first got it putting a launcher on it. The next day I realized I didn't like it so I uninstalled it. Literally just now I got a fc notice on twlauncher, any thoughts on that???

XDA Premium App gone?

So today I checked my home screen and noticed my XDA app was missing, then checked the phone and turns out it was completely uninstalled out of nowhere. Check the market, it SAYS "Purchased," go to Install/download, and it fails and tells me it failed because I haven't purchased the app... Really getting annoying. Anyone know who I can talk to about it? I have the receipt for it in my email still.

EDIT: Solved............. I'm an idiot. Downloaded it through Amazon, not the Android Marketplace, hahaha. Dumb mistake.
Maybe try clearing market data /cache

Nope. Nothin. :/ Have no idea why it just wiped itself from my phone... Regular one works great, but it was definitely nice having the premium.

Xda premium and nexus 5 compatability issue?

Seem to be having problems with the xda app whenever i try to start it up. Just get the spinning circle. End up having to come out if app and restart it before it ever loads. I've been flicking on android central app every now and then and it loads instantly with no issues.
Could this have anything to do with me being on the art runtime? Handset is stock unrooted other than art .
Thanks

No problem with XDA premium app.

I have problems with the XDA Premium app as well. Sometimes it won't load, sometimes certain threads won't load. Not sure what's causing it, I had similar problems on my Nexus 4.
I think the xda has been having intermittent issues with the tapatalk plug-in over the last week or so.
good day.
ART is experimental so that's why it's only a developer option right now. It's only natural for it to have issues so if you want a stable rom don't use it because all app devs just got onto developing for it. Tapatalk has been having a lot of issues for the past about 2 weeks. This is probably what you are referring to so just stand by while tapatalk and xda resolve the issue. It's become even more annoying these past few days.
im lucky to be able to connect to xda with tapatalk anymore. disabling art has improved that, thanks

slow loading for me at times, somethings up
The XDA app is Tapatalk. And it does occasionally have issues. Wiping the data for it seems to help.

I have this problem with the xda app with all my devices. It has nothing to do with ART, as the issues were present on 4.3.
The app just needs to be fixed. Plain and simple.

My issue is that it will jump a couple threads up when it loads more. Really annoying. Randomly crashes as well. I have it on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, both using art. The nexus 7 has none of these problems.

I'm on a replacement device (not using art ) and still same problem.
However as said before android central for me seems almost instant in comparison.

Nexus 5 App Switcher

Hi, I'm wondering if any of you guys have this problem. When I click back to exit an app the previous app I had open pops up for about half a second then minimises. It even shows up as my most recent app as if I had opened it even though I've only exited one app and haven't touched the screen at all. Also it doesn't happen every time but it is fairly regular.

Yep, this happens to me occasionally
Android bug.
Ahhh. Well hopefully its fixed in 4.4.3 then.

Lately XDA app redirects

For the past week or so when I open the app I get redirected to the google store. I have to close the store and reopen XDA app. Anyone else experienced this?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Free mobile app
This has been happening to me as well.. only it will not only open the store but also my browser and then i have to hit the back button like 5 times to get back to where i can open xda again.. then half the time it does it again.
I decided that to get rid of the ads i would just get the premium versio . So what.. it was only a $1.50... come to find out the premium version is nothi g like the free version. I get some extra widgets to put on the home screen but i cant even change the notification sound..
I just wanted the free app without being redirected 5 different places due to ads.. ?
Thanks for your response, not a good thing but at least I'm not the only one. Maybe I'll go back to using the browser instead of the app. It just happened again, first it open my browser then went to play store. Closed play store and opened app, then it worked.

I too have noticed this happening over just the past few days.
It is super annoying but it's nice to know I'm not the only one having the problems.

I have also been having this issue. Does anyone know whether this is intentional behavior or perhaps some setting I unwittingly made?

It's nothing you've done. I'm uninstalling this app and leaving negative feedback. It used to be a good app, and I've used it for a few years now, but I'm done with the redirections.

Good idea, uninstalling it also.

Uninstalled the app, now using chrome browser I still get redirected, be.
