Keyboard , on screen buttons not working , random apps closing ..... - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am rooted , Franco kernel r35 , and gravity box installed.......
Let's say after I restart the nexus , I can go through a couple of hours browsing Google chrome fine , then randomly the back button doesn't work along with the keyboard not popping up , I'm guessing this is a ram issue??? Is it the actual nexus phone problem or is it the kernel... ????

you guessed wrong. It has something to do with xposed/gravity box. I had the same issues last time. Try disabling xposed/gravity completely and try again. if problem still persists, try getting a logcat.

I remember having the same exact issue with cataclysm rom also...
Forgot to add the back button and keyboard will sometimes work and sometimes doesn't , its really weird and random , I'll try to see if disabling xposed module will work

Wow I just uninstalled xposed module along with gravity box and my ram usage has gone down from 70% to 30%

With Android unused memory is wasted memory. Judge lack of memory by how laggey your UI gets when switching between apps previously opened. The lag would be caused by Android having to load a previously removed app due to insufficient memory.

Strange.. are you running any other mods? DPI change?

Omg I finally found a thread that addresses this problem.
I have greenify installed, but no Xposed.
I was previously on BeanStalk, but changed over to Vanir just yesterday, problems happened on both ROMs.
Keyboard will not open, apps crash, soft buttons not working.

Weird problem huh... Sometimes a lock/relock solves the problem, while the other times the entire phone is unusable until rebooted.
Launcher will crash (but no crash dialogue, it just restarts itself), cannot close background apps as recent button is not working, cannot enter settings either (through menu button).

I'm having this same exact issue on cataclysm, franco r35. It just started happening the past few weeks, it's like the launcher re-starts and re-draws every time I go to the home screen. Or apps will crash but not get the FC message, just go back to the wallpaper and wait for the launcher to re-draw. When this stuff is happening, it's like the back button loses its functionality. Rebooting doesn't always help, sometimes I have to delete cache and dalvik cache. Then things will be fine for a day or two and it'll start again.
I was looking to go with a ROM that's as close to stock as possible, except I really want lockscreen target ring and customizable quicksettings, but now it seems like it's not a cataclysm issue so maybe I'll sit tight for a while. When the phone is working - which is a majority of the time - it's super smooth and responsive like always, so I'm not too anxious to make any changes.

Im pretty late posting a reply, but may i ask, what lcd density were you using? was it custom? cause i flashed blisspop today and having this exact issue since installing and changing my lcd density

Skyrocket lags

i have a new skyrocket , well under my 30 days they replaced it because of screen then over heating issue , this one lags , i noticed the lag mainly in the text massege app, anyone have the same issue or did i get a 3rd bad phone ? my last one lagged as well , just wanna make sure if they got a batch of bad phones?
Try flashing a custom ROM. Ive never had any lag problems.

what LAG are you speaking of.....scrolling?, Loading?, be more specific so others can say if they had/have that problem.
personally i have not seen ANY lag on this phone until i installed Go Launcher<<<
which will will cause some lag.
What I mean is a freezing when I go to my text masseges. It will lock for a second. I only have 3 apps. Nothing in the background running

may just be a glitch sort of thing......unless your last one was having the EXACT same lag with the messeging. i would say load up a ROM or even reflash the stock rom that you have and it may go away.

It's not even 2 seconds. It's like it's hanging up

Does it lag during calls and hang up?
That's so weird... as soon as I press messages, it snaps into action and is open before I can even react.
There's something obviously wrong with that one. Try rooting it and running a custom ROM, if that doesn't help, then exchange it.
No lag here.. rooted and stock rom and overclocked... Insane speed..
Well it doesn't do it all the time now. But my.original one did it too. It's way less than a second. It must of been all in my head because everything else works very fast so I think I'll wait till I see my update to the 2.3.6 & go from there.

LOL so i went & said I've had it with the black one & got the white one & couldnt be happier , thank you all for all the help
i think there isn't lag but it's slower coming from an i9100.
scrolling isn't as smooth, and the messaging app is a little funky at times too.
but idk the difference is negligible they're both awesome phones
Flash Sky Ice Cream Sandwich Rom is Amazing!

[Q] Does anyone's S3 stutter (like it's laggy) during multitasking?

I have a Verizon S3 and it has choppy animations when switching between apps using the recent apps menu. I've tried turning both animation and transition options to off in the dev menu and it will still sometimes flicker when swapping apps.
Also, the multitasking recent apps menu itself has always been choppy, which is really frustrating. I know touchwiz isn't the best, but I never thought the phone would be this choppy. The phone itself isn't really slow, it's just the fade in / fade out animation / draw time of the recent apps menu is TERRIBLE.
Things I've done to test:
Power saving is always off. I tried turning it on and unchecking the cpu throttling, but no dice.
Tested with brightness set to auto and not auto, but no dice.
Quadrant score was in the low 5000s, which I believe is good.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal, or a sign of a defective phone? Thanks!
For the app switcher, mine hasn't been slow very often unless I'm dealing with Chrome. I have my "Window Animations Scale" set to: .5x so maybe that helps for the app switcher. I have all my transitions set to .5x actually.
I why I personally haven't noticed is cuz I dislike the implementation of the app switcher. I don't use it often unless switching from texting to Web browsing. I've used my mom's Nexus a few times and it's a smarter UI decision there. Holding the home button to activate the app switcher just feels like a step down to GB.

Thanks for the info. I seem to use my mine pretty often. I'm mainly trying to figure out if this is a known bug with touchwhiz (or if this is just how touchwhiz is), or if it's something wrong with the hardware and I need to return it for another phone.
I've also had some odd lag with the notification menu opening and closing, which only began happening in the past week or so.
What do you guys think?
Do you have the "force gpu rendering" box checked? If so uncheck it. I always get choppy when I have that checked.

Nope, I have the power saving options turned off.
I wonder if the slowness with the app changing is just normal...but it always seems faster on videos reviewing the phone online.

Well I would suggest backup all your apps and Data with Google since you can't do TiBU because you're not rooted right? Then give it a reset and see how that fares for you. worth a shot

While I've tried a factory reset in the past, I didn't know about the recovery menu for non root before. I backed everything up, booted into that, cleared the system cache and then rebooted (triggering the factory reset). I skipped everything during setup and then restored only my Google account, and now everything is silky smooth. The recent apps menu is consistently smooth as well.
Thanks everyone! Hopefully it stays this way.

After playing with it for few days, it's still very smooth when you bring up the recent apps menu and click through to an open app. It's kind of sluggish when opening the menu when you're already in an app. Anyone else seeing that?

It was like that when I was on TW. It runs at like 6 fps and it's extremely disappointing that a badass phone like this would lag there. I read that the recents menu isn't HW accelerated on TW ICS? It's completely smooth on cm10.

[Q&A] [Official] CM 10.2

Since there isn't an official thread for Q&A for CM 10.2 I figured there should be one, so I'm making one. Here we can list out bugs, issues, ask questions, etc. without cluttering or thread hijacking with other Android 4.3 projects (like what was happening to the CM10.1 and beanstalk threads).
I am testing the first official nightly and have discovered the following bugs/issues:
1. After setting up my phone and installing all my apps/etc, it will only boot about half the time. (major bug) I am having to hold power and vol - and pray it will boot THIS time lol I don't have anything exotic on my phone just apps downloaded from the play store. This may have something to do with the CM10.2 theme I am using. **Is more stable using 9-27 nightly and 6.0.3.8 CWM**
2. Screen will often not wake when power button is pressed when the phone is already on. (known issue)
3. Speakerphone mutes mic, you can hear them but they can't hear you (known issue)
4. For me the initial CM setup froze and hot booted (minor issue) ***Should be fixed as of 9-27 nightly, need to confirm still***
5. Compass, etc isn't working properly (known issue).
6. Dark theme for mms.apk (I don't think this has ever worked right...)
7. Selecting 'details' on an image in gallery crashes gallery. **Fixed as of 9-27 nightly**
8. Intermittent issues with the camera. Sometimes it will not start up.
What works:
Camera/Video (and you can finally select the sd card to store these files using the default camera) **having intermittent issues with the camera using the latest nightly**
Data/Phone (using any ICS blaze radio or the UVMC6 sgs2 radio)
Pretty much everything else works flawlessly...
If anyone else has anything to report, or as these issues are resolved, I will edit this post to keep anyone wondering what works/doesn't work with the official 10.2 nightlies where we are.
Also feel free to ask/answer questions related to CM 10.2 here

The initial setup screen froze after I pressed next and hot booted, but worked flawlessly after that.
I changed my theme and rebooted and it would not boot past the Samsung screen. Power and vol- and it rebooted and actually booted. Seems like anything from the system folder being changed will cause some serious issues from what I'm seeing... Even if its just changing the theme. IDK if that's just something with 4.3 but I could modify a ton in the system folder in cm10 and it would boot just fine.

Which recovery and which gapps are you using? I'm using the 2013-08-13 gapps from here.
Did you wipe everything (data, system, cache, davlik) before flashing from whatever rom you are coming from?
Other thing you can try is wipe data from the play store and remove your google account and try again.
Let me know how it goes!
I needed to update my gapps, thank you for the help. All is working great

I believe this started with 4.2.2 but you have to go to settings>about phone and then tap the build number 7 times. After three or four times a message will appear telling how many more times you need to press it. Then developer settings will be unlocked.

Cool. Thanks.
I noticed my light sensor acts a little reversed.
In well lit areas or outside during the day, I can barely see my screen because the brightness is too low.
At night time, the screen is the brightest it can be.
I've disabled auto and enabled it back but no change.
I haven't done a clean wipe when I noticed it but then I decided to do a clean wipe and it still happens.
Anyone else notice this?

So far the only issue I've seen is the camera wigs out. So do other camera apps I install from the market. When I'm in the camera app the screen freaks out almost kinda like how the tv would flip out back in the day when you were flipping the slide switch from the RF adapter to put your tv in game or antenna mode when playing an atari or something.
It also says, "you must insert an SD card" but I have one in, and it works. So I dunno.

I haven't had the SD card message but I have had intermittent issues with the camera not starting up. I'm going to add it to the issues list on the 1st post and get a log in the dev section later tonight.
It seems that once the camera won't start up you have to force close the gallery or use the lock screen functionality to start the camera to get it to come back up again.

Well, I think my SD card issue is actually related...to my SD card.
It works, but man the write speed on the thing is SLOOOOOOOW. Even if I take it out and put it directly into my computer, it takes forever to write to it now. No idea why, but I guess I'm having bad luck with these things. I always bought cheap SD cards before, but ever since I bought this 64gig card (back when they were like $150) I've had nothing but trouble...Sandisk has replaced it twice now!

Nexus 5 lagging

Going through some threads it seems most dont experience any lag so im wondering what the problem could be in my case i sometimes notice slight lags when opening/closing app drawer, switching to quick settings, opening/closing apps (turned off animations so not really a problem now) and a few other instances is this normal? it got quite bad so i unrooted it and locked bootloader then unlocked and re-rooted and at the moment i am on stock rom, stock launcher and faux123 stable mainline 11 kernel
Glad I'm not the only one. Do the apps include any of the following: Timely, YouTube?

hopefully it is something that an android update will fix soon as its not just apps for me its everywhere but not all the time, i was wondering if its the custom kernel im using? Hopefully it isn't as i cant change the gamma values in stock kernel so that is the main reason for me flashing a custom one

Doubt it's your kernel. I'm running stock and suffering as well :/ It could also be a defect, some run fine others don't. Same with the same speaker issue, some newer owners especially the red ones claim it sounds better as the old ones.

Try switching to ART runtime, it seems to be much smoother. Im using Franco's kernel with a lot of downgrading in setup and yet I don't experience lags.
I did think about switching to ART but to be honest i dont want to lose anything in terms of stability but hopefully soon it will become part of an update so if lag is normal on dalvik now i dont mind waiting i just wanted to see if its normal or im doing something wrong

I'm sure that the problem could be around some settings with faux kernel. I use it too but recommended settings foe nexus 5 seem to cause some lag for everyone as it's more for saving battery life...
You might nee to play with some settings there Like governor and Hotplug.

I'm sure that the problem could be around some settings with faux kernel. I use it too but recommended settings foe nexus 5 seem to cause some lag for everyone as it's more for saving battery life...

I have already turned off animations for transition animation scales but when i turned off the rest it looked weird so turned them back on, i didn't understand 'Sorry cut the last 2out the 3 to 0ff and speed first'
Another thing i forgot to mention is when i unrooted/went back to stock i let the apps auto update and straight after i noticed there was lag when opening app drawer so i uninstalled all the updates and it fixed itself has anyone else had this happen? I have had to set the apps to never auto update now

Installing updates from Play doesn`t make the phone laggy unless there is a problem with an app or some apps. Rebooting after installing updates clears most problems most of the time.

Install BetterBatteryStatts for unusual app behaviour which is most likely the reason of your phone lagging.
I downloaded betterbatterystats but it isn't showing me anything regarding apps only the device wake/sleep stats etc

[Q] Google search update lag

I have had a look online to see if others are having my problem but can't seem to find anything on it so thought i would ask here.
A few months back i created a thread regarding lag issues on my nexus 5 more specifically app drawer opening/closing lag, well after flashing back to stock, unrooting and factory resetting a few times the lag was still there UNTIL i turned off auto update apps and the lag dissapeared so i figured it must be an app so after a while of trying to find out which one it is i found out it was the updated google search causing the lag for some reason so i uninstalled the updates and the lag dissapeared and now i have had auto update off for a couple of months.
Well now i want to turn auto update all apps on again and update the google search app to get ok google again but again after updating the lags back so had to delete it once again, anyone got any ideas on why this is happening? I have already tried rebooting the phone which didn't make a difference so i wiped dalvik and cache again this didn't make any difference

Your post is long, and confusing. Are you experiencing lag when opening app drawer? Are you saying that updating any Google services through the play store causes your phone to lag? Can you tell us what's your phone set up?

Yes the lag is there when opening and closing the app drawer. The only google service that causes this is the google search app, when i uninstall it through play store it just uninstalls the updates so i lose the ok google hotword feature but the lag is completely gone and the phone is buttery smooth, as soon as i update it again the lag starts.
I'm on a rooted nexus 5 4.4.2 running a stable release of faux kernel that's it everything else is stock

is it possible for you to recreate the lag again, and check your processes to see if there's anything running in the background that might cause the lag.

The lag is still there as i have updated google search so the app draw is still stuttering. I checked running applications on settings but there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal but i don't really know what i am looking for though

I'm referring to any apps, specifically from Google, that's running in the background. It might be taking up a large chunk of your processing power or downloading something, causing your phone to lag. Are you running Dalvik or Art?

Can you switch to ART and see if the problem persist? If you are not comfortable switching, you could flash the Dalvik+Bionic library optimization. I found it very smooth, compared to stock Dalvik.
Also, scale down Windows animation and Transition animation to .5x in developer options.

But wouldn't this only mask the problem? It is perfectly smooth again once i uninstall the google search updates and as i said my cousin is running dalvik same as me yet his is perfectly smooth

That's a crude way of putting it, but yes. In a way we're all trying to mask our phone's shortcomings. Seeing that even though we all have the same phones, yet some are better than others, some encounter more problems than others, some have better battery life than others. You can't come in here and expect your phone to be perfect with no problems. Sometimes we find a fix, sometimes we find a workaround. It's hard to pinpoint the problem without much in-depth troubleshooting, but if it "fixes" the problem, than that should be sufficient for now right?
(damn I feel like a philosopher)

But since they are all mass produced shouldn't they all produce the same results? I mean they aren't exactly living beings like us some being more successful than others lol so would you say mine is actually a faulty device? I've just switched to ART so will test it a little, i didn't switch earlier due to ART not being fully stable and ready not sure if that's changed now

If that was the case, this whole forum would not exist. Every phone is different, even if they're the same model. We tweak it and mod it to our liking, and we never stop trying to bring it to its optimum ability.
Yes ART is unstable to some apps and mods. Before rooting my phone, I was on ART for a few months on stock. It was very smooth, and surprisingly didn't have any incompatibility issues. After root, in order to have Xposed, I had to switch to Dalvik. There was definitely some lag issues. I also experienced them with the app drawer, similar to yours. But to circumvent that, I flashed the Dalvik+Bionic libraries and it was as smooth, if not smoother, than it was while I was on stock ART.

So your saying that let's say we both bought the same phone in this case the nexus 5 and when we turn it on it's brand new so nothing installed on it yet but one phone has lag but the other is as smooth as butter would you consider that perfectly normal or would you think something is wrong?
I have been running ART for a few hours now and unfortunately the lag is still there, once i uninstall the google search app updates it goes back to being as smooth as butter same as when i was on dalvik but like dalvik once i install it again the lag comes back
