Weird bug issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night my nexus 5 behaved strange, I touch the multi window button at the bottom (name has skipped me) beside the home button and its completely blank. I know I had 3 apps running and open but it didn't show any of them.
I had to restart my phone to fix it but it has happened again.
I'm stock unrooted

Hi-not sure why that is happening. Are you using any task or app killer that could be closing the apps? I am sure you already thought of that...
Doc

No apps no task killers. Its just blank but they are there. Since I click on the icon and its still where I left off

Facebook issues on Nexus 5

Once in a while Facebook will freeze, the screen will turn black (except for the softkeys) and I end up having to kill the app altogether. I can back out of the app okay by pressing the back softkey, but when I return to the app it's still frozen.
This also happens with Google +. It didn't happen on my HTC One and it's not happening on my son's S4. It happened before I changed DPI and its happening now. Makes me think it's a KitKat thing.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I see the same behavior on my Nexus 5. The FB app freezes at random and although I am able to go out using the back softkey, it stays frozen when I get back. This happens with Whatsapp as well, although less number of times. I do believe this a KitKat thing.
Its the problem with the app not the phone.

troubles with 4.2.2

At work 400 people have a S2 Plus. After the update, many problems have arrived:
- APN settings are lost, set to basic. This could be a problem for busines phones.
- [email protected] crashes..... no worries, just an App..
- Google+ crashes... Hmm, sleightly worrying
- S Planner is messed up. Options are unreachable, Letters are massive and i'm unable to change to week view.. it's locked on month (as soon as i have pictures i'll show
- Email letters are massive... changable for email itself but buttons stay big
As soon as i find more, I'll share
Anyone else have these problems?
No I don't have these problems...May be you can reflash the Rom?

We have about 400 S2 Plus phones here, it would not be wise to reflash all those ROM's.. about 50 of those phones have troubles.
Have you guys tried wiping data... like factory reset the whole phone
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
update to 4.2.2 without wiping will have crashes in some of the apps. it will happen to other phone too(my good old ace),it's wise to have it backup then update n wipe.
I am not having such problems too.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using Tapatalk
We just let people update, so indeed we updated without factory wipe.
I'll test it on one of the devices'.
Would another option be re-installing the apps? if i could get my hands on the apk of s-planner for instance..
at leat try to clean cash it may help ..
Try factory reset first.
Installing system apps as custom app isn't really that ideal to me

Jups i know
Any of you have problem with phone freezing? Not in use, when it is on standby. It work only when it is rebooted (holding power button for 5 seconds) or when battery is pulled out and powered on again.
Friend of mine has this problem since he upgraded to 4.2.2. First it was often, he used Powersave option. After he turned Powersave off, phone worked normal for some day (about 10). And now the problem occurred again, without Powersave on.

Sometimes it's not related to power save. It might just be a system bug:

Need a app to keep the screen on like knock on

Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

theres a kernel here what does what you want ,well i think it does

I don't want to upgrade to a CFW now. I prefer enjoying rhe phone on stock than to deal with minor hindrances which ruin the experience on a CFW, like the camera bug mentioned in the thread you quoted to.

You're out of luck then unfortunately, custom kernel is the only thing that offers it right now.

Such a basic thing that symbian had but android doesn't, I am disappointed with Google.
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk
Just go to settings and set lock screen to none.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

FaceBook app on Nexus 5

Has any ever tried to edit a comment on the facebook app? No matter what ROM I'm running it just won't allow it. I have to do it from the browser.

Long-press on the comment. There is no visual, audible, or haptic feedback but it will open a context menu letting you delete or edit it.

That it is definitely not. Any errors will be due to the Facebook app.
It doesn't happen all the time but yeah in Facebook when I focus a comment field sometimes the keyboard appears and then immediately disappears. Another major gripe I have with Facebook on this phone is that the graphic assets seem to be made for a lower res than this phone and so aren't as crisp as they should be. Especially the app icon in GEL. [/OT]
wake lock on Facebook is not good.

Yea the Facebook app is awful. I think they'd be better off just asking someone on xda to develop it for them

FB app is a hog. I've had to tweak it to disable a couple of the services and also the startups so it doesn't kill battery. So far it does pretty good. I use Xposed and use BootManager to have it not load on startup, as well as ReceiverStop and kill a couple Receivers (appwidget_update and connectivity_change) so it just kills background stuff, not the actual app functions.

My facebook app doesnt drain at all weirdly, I set it to refresh every hour, notifications and messages always on, and sync turned off. Often appearing as the last or second last app on my battery stats at the end of the say with about 3% total usage, and yes I do use it, alot!

Keyboard , on screen buttons not working , random apps closing .....

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
