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.

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.

Hi all,
Today while I was listening music and typing messages, all of a sudden the haptic feedback of my NS suddenly become very weak...
Weak as in the vibration was not that distinct anymore. It forced me to perform a reboot to make it normal again. Anybody experienced this? I have encounter this the 2nd time already.

I think you'd better write your NS spec. for example ROM, Kernel, etc....
Everything I use is stock
Android version : 2.3.4
Baseband version : i9020XXKD1

Has happened to me as well on stock and deck's t and u rom.
Rebooting fixed it on stock and flashing back to r worked on decks.
I've not noticed it on the Nexus yet, however I did come across this issue on the moment as well as the epic.
Just like anything the battery can only pump out so much juice, the more you run the less everything is getting. so if you have 100% of your voltage and 3 pieces of hardware pulling from it screen, cpu/gpu, and lets say vib, that means you would only be getting 1/3 of full power to each.
Its hard to say exactly what it was unless you were running logcat, monitoring power consumption, and other factors.
Now, the odds are its a software glitch.
yes ive also experianced this only once awhile ago i felt it while typing messaging all the sudden it was just like boom 5% vibration no clue why though
Yep...its happened to me many times. Usually a reboot always fixes it.
Its few and far between, so nothing to really worry about I would guess.

Now that you mention it i am sure i have had this a few times.... never really thought too much about it though
I've also noticed it, although again its rare enough to not bother me, and a reboot always fixes it. Just one of those little fixable bugs I guess.
thanks all,
good to hear this. actually its not that annoying cause this seldom happens.
after owning NS for 6 months this happens twice only so its alright not much of a big problem
I've search high and low but it seems like any thread related to this was closed when the forums were split up. In any case, please report any screen flicker issues here and what keyboard you might be using and whether or not you're rooted. I bought this phone new and had a screen flicker before I rooted it. I figured it might be software related so I rooted and installed another ROM. I still notice it from time to time when typing. I don't think this flicker will ever go away. I'm now on CM10 and still notice the problem. I've been using Swiftkey from the start but I'm not sure yet if that's what causing it.
Thanks to TechSavvy2, I think this problem has been fixed.

Not sure what it does, but you will need to tick the same option every time you reboot if you're on CM10 official at least(I can't speak for the other AOSP ROMs.)
You got a screen flicker BEFORE you did anything to your phone tho? That's the first I've heard of the flicker anywhere except an AOSP ROM. Hmmm. And was/is it only when you used Swiftkey? If so, gotta be some conflict between Swiftkey and our phones. (I really don't care for swiftkey since it doesn't have any kind of swipe option. I use Touchpal, which is pretty good on the autocorrect/predictions especially for a freebie)
I've also had the screen flicker on my phone since I activated it. I am on stock touchwiz and the thing that kepts it from occuring every time i opened the keyboard was installing thumb keyboard. I really wish Samsung would send a fix sometime in the near future. I am hoping this is just a software issue and not hardware.

Ya, I know for a fact, I had the flicker before I rooted or even changed the bootloader. I've tried every rom out there and still have a real bad flicker every now and then. It does go away when I turn hw overlays off but by turning it off I can't use SwiftKey which really bites. Isn't this an indication its software related?
And I'm not sure if it's just SwiftKey related. I guess, I'll experiment with the other keyboard to test.
By any chance could it be kernel related?

It happened to my GF's S3, lets call this S3 A, screen fickers and with series of lines vertically, phone freezes, had to do hard boot, then the battery dropped to 3% instantly. We think it's the battery, lucky us, we have another S3, we'll call this S3 B, in which has no flickering issue, and we exchange the battery and the flickering did not happen on S3 A anymore but it did happen to S3 B in which has no flickering issues at all from the start.
And we noticed the S3 A battery is beginning to bloat (it is getting fatter than the battery of S3 B) maybe due to wear and tear or over charging.
So our conclusion, the battery is culprit, we've replaced it and we'll observe for about a week.
I can also experience flickering and very crappy battery life. Guess I need to buy a new batter then? I don't want to waste money if changing batter doesn't work so please tell me if I should buy or not.
I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue.
When listening with my headphones to music, youtube...etc.. it randomly makes weird buzzing sounds (kinda like when you connect to the internet through dialup back in the old days). This sound happens randomly for example, if I hear it in a song and i rewind it to the same position it will not happen..but it might happen somewhere else in the song.
I know this is a Kernel issue because on Stock Kernel this doesn't happen. However when I flash to any other Kernel this starts to happen. (I've tried Bricked, Franco, Faux, Linaro Kernel and they all have this sound problem. I haven't seen anyone else report on this issue which is why I'm suspecting it is a hardware issue. Anyone have any idea or input on what I can do? I really don't want to stay on stock Kernel since I've seen huge improvements on battery life using custom kernels. Thanks.

Hi Bobokun,
If its the same noise that I get (I posted on google product forum for nexus about it. Tried to put link here, but as I only just joined to answer this, it won't let me. The title of my post was "Nexus 5 has interference sounds when using headphones"), it happens on stock phone for me.
I've not got any further in bottoming out whether it is hardware or software (though not done too much digging other than the above link).
Cheers
James
This happened to me once or twice when I first tried out my headphones. However the last few times that I've used the headphones it has stopped.

It happens several times during my work day, but I'm in a poor TMobile signal area in the UK and i think it is trying to keep its signal.
I haven't found any solution yet, anybody? I'm just wondering how only a few people found this issue.
It becomes complete annoyance.

What about baseband? Could any of the kernels you flashed have changed the radio?

I have a similar experience when using bluetooth and playing The Infinite Black (game) when I touch a sector it makes a weird buzzing sound. Rooted, stock, with Franco Kernel.

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?

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum thread, but recently having lots of problem with my N5.
i have a 32GB N5, when I use LTE & Location on the road, it heats up, the screen starts flickering and eventually, gets to a point when I don't see anything, I have to wait for it to cool down, turn off from recovery by guessing and after 15-20-30 mins, it will be back to Normal. Is this an issue with N5 or is it just with mine.
I bought it from Craigslist, so I do not have any warranty info. not sure if I can get it replaced.
I have used many many different ROMs on my N5, it was unlocked & I rooted it. Currently I am running stock rooted with Faux kernel with Gravitybox for customizations.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,
Dhaval.
From the way it is described it is way more than just software especially with screen flickering clearly this isn't an issue with every nexus 5 or Google would have addressed it immediately.. I would restore back to complete stock and see if it still does it. Too bad you bought it from some guy off craigslist, he probably knew about the problem and just didn't RMA it.
There is a Q&A forum.
Do you get some weird colored lines sort of like TV static also? Randomly, my phone does this every so often and I'm somewhat worried about it.
It only occurs in apps, on the home screen it doesn't occur.

A stock Nexus 5 should be pretty well protected from over heating. I would recommending restoring the factory firmware to see if it fixes the problem. If it is still over heating then it probably needs a visit to service.

ElementalX kernel might be making it funny. I'll go back to stock kernel first and see.

OP
if i were you, i would download the Google N5 Image from their servers and wipe your device clean
before knowing is for sure its hardware related, i would rule out all signs of software issues first
