[Q] Hardware issue? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have a problem with random "pauses" while using apps? It's totally not noticeable for applications that aren't continually running animations (ie: kindle, text scrolling) but becomes evident when doing thins such as:
- recording video (the "pause" will cause the recording to stop randomly for both continuous and time lapse)
- playing games (will cause the game to go to the pause screen)
- tasker programming (I think this is affected because tasker will randomly close itself without a FC dialog, profiles and tasks seem okay)
I turned on debugging to see if it was a dirty screen or anything, but the touch coordinates don't change at all when the "pause" happens. Anyone have an idea how I can fix this? It is rather crippling to the N5.
I am rooted and I have seen this problem on all roms (and I believe I noticed it on stock too...)
I use a ballistic case, if anyone else has had problems with it...
Thanks in advance!
Using N5 on Carbon + Franco kernel

I guess no one's ever had this problem before? =[

Have you tried factory reset? Fixes most problems. Could be Franco's kernel has a bug in the latest release.

Have you tried going back to complete stock to see if that fixes the problem?

I've tried out a few roms (factory reseting and cache clearing between each one) to see if it was any one problem, but whether AOSP or CM based, I still have the problem =/

Do you mean stock + unrooting? I think I remember having the problem back then, but I don't quite remember before I rooted...I'll try going back to stock w/ root first and see if it's still happening. Thanks!

Yes follow the link in the general to go back to complete stock and that will eliminate anything and everything that could be an issue related to software.
For what it is worth, what method did you use to root?

Hmm, I think it worked. I haven't tested it out for lengthy periods of time but I haven't noticed any pausing anymore! =]
I followed the unroot instructions to return to stock. Although I didn't relock the bootloader.
Then I booted up stock and it seemed like it works fine.
I reinstalled CWM recovery through adb (same as I did the first time) and proceeded to reflash
It seems like the problem is gone now on custom ROM as well. Interestingly enough, if I nandroid restore my old backup, I do get the problem again.
Is there something different between reflashing stock part and wiping from factory/data reset + system partition format + wipe cache + wipe davalik?
Thanks for your help guys! I was sure before that it was hardware since I had the problem on stock w/ root, but thankfully it's not a hardware problem! =]

[Q] Any help would be appreciated

I am currently running Sky ICS and I am able to flash a new update just fine. After settling in and restoring all of my apps I will restart. After restarting my phone will just start freezing up. It seems the media scanning is delayed when restarted. I have already tried the Odin method. I even wiped EMMC. After starting completely fresh it is still having the issue. My phone is completely unusable (no texting because of media scanner not working correctly?, data doesn't work either). Anyone else having this issue?

So I've been messing with it and decided not to restore all my pictures. Restarting seems to work just fine now. Had about 300 pictures.
maybe try thederekjay's wipe script?

Already tried that. The only thing that seems to work is wiping EMMC and not restoring all my pictures. Basically just starting fresh.
I seem to have solved my problem though i'm not sure that it will help you. I restored back to a stock backup I have then installed sky ICS fresh and it has been stable for 3 days now.

RemICS v1.6 mobile data issue

I have flashed with chinmay_7d's RemICS v1.6 . Yeak it looks cool, but I am facing an issue. When I turn on mobile data usage, the phone will turn off after some time (5-6 minutes) and it is not possible to turn on the phone again . It is needed to plug in it and turn on and then only it is working. In this condition, it is showing android is upgrading. There is no problem with using internet while plugged in. Anyone know how to fix this...? I like this ROM very much and so if it if fixed, then that will be cool.
are u coming from earlier versions of RemICS? followed all the installation steps?, go back to re-flash and tell us

Yes I am .Actually this issue was with 1.5.4 also. I have followed all the steps and cleared dalvik Cache and formatted cache partition. I have even done the factory reset and wiped all apps. I think the issue is because, it is reading the battery profile incorrectly or battery is actually drained when mobile data is turned on and that is triggering switch off thing.

Not sure if I'm right, but I think the practical solution to your problem would be to perform a flash from 0 up KPQ or KPU (which are the most stable to install this ROM), it may be the modem or the base ROM you used (for 3 months I have this ROM and never gave me any problems with KPQ)
Another thing, have you tried testing with Dhiru CM9 Base? to see if the same thing happens?

Have you tried to fix permissions on CWM? I got some problems with it too. After fixing and installing 1.5.4 again no problem. Now I'm on 1.6 and all is fine...
@ tavomt :
I think I can directly flash to stock rom.
Please help me
sI have tried fix permission and after that also this issue persists.
Also I have flashed with CM10 alpha from dhiru. This is also showing the same behavior. :crying:
Now flashed with RemICS JB . But the issue is still there. :crying::crying::crying:
I think I need to go back to REMICS 1.0, as there is no issue on it. But I desperately like to use this ROM. If anyone has got a fix, please post and help me.
Sometimes, when I take apps also , the phone gone off (Google Currents and Angry bird )

The issue you are facing is exclusive to you. So i will not consider this a bug from my ROM.
I suggest you to follow correct flashing procedure. Wiping data before flashing a new ROM is a good practice.
It is possible that a third party app you are using is responsible.

[Q] G2x with Cyanogenmod7 can't receive data (I realize this is a common problem)

Hey, so as stated in the title, I have recently flashed Cyanogenmod7. Initially, version 7.2.0 and then the nightly build released on 10/7/12. I can no longer receive mobile data. I realize this is a very common problem and have searched through multiple forum posts here and elsewhere online. I also flashed a new kernel in an attempt to fix it (not sure of the name, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073626).
Mobile data will appear (and work) for the first 10-15 seconds after startup if wifi is disabled but then vanishes afterwards. I have tried changing the mobile network settings and apn settings in a number of ways but no method ever works (most of the ones found online appear to be at least a year old so perhaps I just need more modern entries). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The CM team has yet to fix this, and I doubt it ever will be fixed. It's present on all AOSP based ROMS. I guess if they set the modem to reset on bootup, it could fix it, but I have no idea how to do that.

I've also tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache with no effect. I have also installed a custom kernel with no effect. I am not entirely sure what you mean by fixing permissions.
Edit: searched and figured it out. Tried fixing permissions in combination with the other two options. Still no effect.
Sorry to bump an old topic but I accidentally reflashed Cyanogen (pressed wrong zip in recovery) and now it's working so if anyone else has this problem, try doing a factory reset and then reflashing old data.

Camera problem

Hi people I have been using my Nexus 5 for a month now. Loving it! Going stock with Elemental 26 kernel, dalvik
This happens quite random, not often but it is annoying. Camera stops working.. I start it up.. And it just.. Black.. Waiting until it says "camera stopped“ a restart does help, but I have Sometimes missed some shots because of this.
Anyone that have experienced this and have a permanent solution?

To try in order - step by step if the previous didn't solve the problem:
1. Clear app data
2. Flash the stock kernel
3. Factory reset
4. Clean installation
5. RMA...
I had it on my previous device and it was a hardware bug so :fingers-crossed:

I've had this issue once while on CM11. A restart fixed it, leading me to believe it's a ROM/Kernel bug, and also hasn't happened on the latest nightly. OP, try a different kernel version.

I am on stock, maybe it is kernel related.. I don't know. Don't want to blame the kernel just yet. But 26 is the latest. Waiting for an update, maybe try another kernel and see if that help, if the problem occurs again.

Wifi unable to reconnect when coming back in range

I have this rather annoying problem with my OPO: When I'm on WiFi and go out of range and get within range of another WiFi (eg leaving from home in the morning and getting on the train where there's also WiFi) my OPO will not connect.
I've tried switching WiFi off and back on, tried forgetting network and connecting again but the network just displays as "Saved". Only thing that works is a reboot. Funny thing is that it actually detects open WiFi's and displays the question mark in the notification bar.
I've read that themes can cause WiFi problems so I haven't changed that. I'm using the Apex launcher with no visual changes.
I've rooted my phone but left the bootloader locked.
Any advice?
I'm rooted with the TWRP custom recovery installed. I had the same thing happen to me. If you toggle airplane mode on/off, it will reconnect. But, as for a solution, my fix was to restore a previous TWRP backup of my phone. I also had heard that the problem could be coming from a theme. What themes have you used? I bought the Flux theme and have been using its style and fonts. I was running the stock CM11s when this happend just a few days after getting my OPO. I would try a factory reset first. If that does not work, there is a thread in the OPO forums about flashing a factory image and getting back to 100% stock.
I have switched to the CM11 nightlies as of a couple of days ago. I will probably refrain from messing around with the theme packs for now.

Yesterday I failed to flash MAHDI and ended up clearing everything from my phone. I had to follow this guide:

I really hate to hear that you are still having the wifi issue. One would think that if you flashed all partitions with a factory image that it would solve the problem. You might want to have a look at this thread. This guy was unsuccessful in fixing his efs and bluetooth problems until he flashed Color OS and then went back to CM.

Thanks for sharing. I think there are two things that can produce a major restore/fix to a phone - a nandroid restore and a major rom update. I hope it fixes yours. The nandroid restore is what saved mine.

Been there. Done that. Read the book. Got the t-shirt.
Flashed ColorOS.
Factory reset.
Booted and got through into ColorOS (skipped account setup).
Booted into recovery.
Factory reset.
Restore backup of CM11S.
No dice :'-(
What are my options now?
A couple of days ago I completely wiped my OPO - radio, modem, everything and flashed a new stock image. Nothing has helped.
I really find it hard to believe this to be a hardware issue.

Just for clarification - after flashing Color OS, did you turn on wifi and use it to see if the problem was still there while in Color OS?
If your WiFi 2.4 or 5GHZ?

Yes. I would recommend you consider doing that. If it works then I would flash a fresh Cm11s rom, not a nandroid backup. Flash the Color OS and do a full check of the Wifi.

I was having the same issue, but here's what I did and it seems to have resolved my issue.
1) Updated firmware on my ASUS AC68 router
2) Boot into recovery mode (volume down+power), wipe cache and media, then factory wipe
3) When setting up phone, did not apply CM theme on the options after logging into CM account.
It seems like WiFi might drop when you get to homescreen, just reboot phone and Wifi should reconnect. Make sure to go into your WiFi settings and remove any networks that was saved, and re-add.
Still not ideal (since it seems like themes might be killing WiFi for some users), so hopefully a new OTA update will solve this problem.
