Nexus S freezes randomly

Hi guys,
I have a unlocked and rooted Nexus S i9023 bought around last week. Since then, I have experienced my phone freezing a couple of times already.
It happened to me at least 2 times on stock rom. And another 3 times on custom rom.
It freezes not during usage but during sleep mode. There will be times when I try to use my phone and I realised I cannot 'unsleep' it. All the 4 buttons at the bottom will be lighted up even in sleep mode. So usually when I see all 4 buttons lighted up in sleep mode it usually means it's frozen already.
Is this a common issue for Nexus S? Or am I the only one facing this problem?
Is there anyway to solve it? Or it is a hardware problem and I need to send back for repair?
Thanks for everything in advance

Are you on Android 2.3.3?

Yes I am. On GRI54 to be specific.

It just froze again. This time with WIFI tethering on.
When it froze, I realised I can still surf the website i'm currently on (which is xda-developers) but i cannot surf any other websites. Such as google etc. My laptop still shows that its connected to wifi after it froze though. Just that I can only surf one website.

Hi There,
Mine did this before but never on stock. I found going into recovery then Formatting Cache/Data/System and Dalvik cache then flashing the ROM solved it for me.
Another time I've noticed this is when I overclock the processor too much.

Mine happened on stock before, without overclocking.
Before I changed to custom rom (SuperAOSP), I wiped data/cache/dalvik cache
And the problem still arose.

It could well be hardware related then, try doing the above as I mentioned and see if it fixes it (it won't wipe your sd storage unless you select that option) if it doesn't I'd suggest you get a replacement

Will try that again and see if it works. Thanks.

there is a thread already that I believe describes your problem in more detail here:

Also here, same problem:

Strange Issues with my Infuse

I've never had any major problems with my Infuse since I got it.
The battery is getting weaker but I bought a 2600Mah USB Backup Battery and that gives me another 7-8 hours for about 13-14 hours of use.
To make a long story short, I unlocked for use in Mexico City on TelCel and had some issues, so I returned the phone back to stock, unrooted.
Since that point however, while it would occasionally freeze before, its become a daily thing now and really bothersome because I can't even stop audio from playing via bluetooth. The touch screen becomes unresponsive and only a soft reboot or a hard reboot (removing the battery) returns the phone to a useful state.
It seems I have to do is every couple of hours now though, so I am posting here to get some suggestion on how to fix it.
Its been two years already since I got it so I am eligible for a new phone, but this one continues to work well besides this issue.
Thanks

1. your microSD may be going bad
2. if you haven't done so, back up all your stuff and try a factory reset...this may erase all existing info and bring the phone back to day#1

I mentioned that in the post, I did it while in Mexico City. It worked fine until this week, late last week. The battery only gives me about 5 hours now with just 32% audio playback and about 10% web access.
I guess I'll order a Anker battery from Amazon.
I rooted the phone again last night but before I did that, the phone became unresponsive three times in an hour. Which microSD card are you talking about? I just bought a 32GB Class 6 card and that works fine, I play all my audio from it, no problems.
If you mean the internal microSD card, that could be possible. I assume I can crack open the phone and replace this easily?
I should mention it never does that while plugged into a power source, so maybe this is all battery related.

Possible Fix...
When I had to hard reboot the phone again this afternoon, a little forced closed window came up for TwLauncher.
After rebooting the phone I looking at Titanium Backup and cleared the cashe from TwLauncher and that seems to have solved the problem.
Somebody on here mentioned that after installing a ROM they had the same problem, was worth a try.
I will report back if the issue returns.

My personal beliefs are that TB is good for causing a lot of problems.I used to use it,even bought pro,but even not restoring data when restoring apps I seamed to develop odd quirks or problems on about any ROM. Since not using it have much fewer problems.I am sure many people love it and think it's great, just thought I would give my $0.02

if your battery holds a charge...that is, it's letting you run the phone for more than several hours, it's unlikely to be the battery.
lags are usually due to apps misbehaving, media scan, wakelocks and wifi bugs...there are some others.
a factory reset ...complete reset..complete stock..will let you know if you have hardware of software issues.

Thus far, that issue has not returned. Yes the battery holds a charge, but last only about 5-6 hours now, not 7-8 hours.
It seems it was a minor software issue. I did a factory reset, you keep missing that.
I did it in Mexico City (7 days ago).... Since that point and returning to the US, I have put my apps back on the phone. I had already updated to Gingerbread and it just reset to that.
I won't know more until I am out and about with my phone. I will be watching various auto racing events and don't plan on leaving the house this weekend.

No problem, I've never had a problem with TB. I updated the rom to a rooted version of the AT&T Gingerbread release so I could even use it... lol
The phone was rooted for Froyo, I downloaded the AT&T Gingerbread from Samsung via Kies when it was released and it remained rooted.
But resetting it back to stock, TB didn't work until I put the rooted rom on the phone.

Exactly...you had to use TB or another restore. If you used TB on froyo and restored on GB or vice versa, you may run into issues.
and ...sigh... I did not miss the fact that you stated that you had reset the phone. I just had doubts that you understood what I was trying to say...from inside the phone..under settings/privacy..there is a reset option. make sure everything you wanted is already backed up. reset it..then put it into download mode and use one of the odin or heimdall package and flash it back to complete stock...run it stock and dont back up anything. download only apps from the play store or side load the apps if you had the apk's.
check the battery use to see if you have wake locks or android OS or android system eating up for battery..then you will know

Well like this, I will not go into the details but somebody else put Swipe Lock on the phone and of course I didn't know what he put into the phone. I was trying to resolve data issue on TelCel.
I had to do a hard reset outside of the operating system. Since the ROM was already upgraded to Gingerbread but unrooted, it went back to its unrooted state meaning I couldn't use TB.
So I re-downloaded apps from my memory. All of them are free so it wasn't an issue, just time consuming.

See above.
I used download mode to get out of Swipe Lock. I never used Swipe Lock, a-hole wanted to charge me 120 pesos ($7) to wipe it and put it back to stock, I wasn't going to do it, I know enough about Android phones to do it myself.
Oh well, lesson learned, I believe wiping the cashe from TwLauncher has solved the problem.
I did re-install all the apps from the store. I wasn't able to use TB until Thurs night (5/16). I noticed the errors Friday afternoon, wipe the cashe and no issues since.

[L 5.0.1 ]Enormous battery problem

Im experiencing a huge problem with battery...
First the battery drain is too big to be real 100 to 0 for like an hour of browsing...
What is more is that when the battery gets like 30% the phone sometimes just shuts down like and acts like the battery is fully drained and the only way to turn it back on is to connect it to a charger first and when i turn it on its on 0% battery.
I'm running all stock, no rom, not even unlocked, I sideloaded both 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 updates.
Here is some screenshots, could it be a bad 5.0.1 update?

Have you done a factory reset yet?
What happens if you charge it when its off?

Welcome to the club

It charges normaly, just like I have let the battery die to 0%. Other then that it charges preeeetty fast ... Too much if im not overreacting
Haven't done factory reset....thats the reason for not flashing it, didnt want to lose data..

Well, it could be hardware but best thing to do is rule out.software so best bet would be to factory reset after backing up your data. Maybe even flash back to stock.

The reason behind not flashing already etc etc is that i dont wanna lose my warranty. That leaves me with factory reset and nothing else for solving it? Should I just copy all my storage to PC or should I use some application for the backup?

You'd need to reset the flag then afterwards. Its all covered in the flashing stock guide in general > sticky roll-up. Not saying you should do it, just letting you know. Though after you factory reset i would recommend you probably just contact the company and let them fix it.

I guess I will have to unlock, root and flash my Nexus to see if this will help.
Can u advise me with a stable and low battery drain ROM and Kernel eventually ? I'll need to seach a full guide on unlocking rooting flashing I guess

If it's new, go and get a replacement. If it's not you may change your battery. It does not look like a wakelock or another issue. It looks like a hardware issue much more.

Actually, I do have the same problem as OP. I'm thinking of going back to 4.4.4.

Facebook app is draining a lot, Disable Service and disable the fitness services within Google Play Service, and disable unneeded syncs.

I had the same problem with mine, I used the nexus root toolkit to get back to 4.4.4 and it fixed my battery issue completely, I'm now at 23hours with 36 percent left. On 5.0 it lasted about 8 hours if I didn't use it, good luck.

Flashed Cyanogenmod 11 latest for hammerhead, problem persist... I'll do some more testing and If I cant get it right I guess I will send it back for repair after reseting the flag...
If anybody has any ideas or same problem, share info

I'm having the exact same problem...
I updated to 5.0 when the OTA was sent out OTA but then sideloaded 5.0.1 two weeks ago.
Since then I've been experiencing the same shut downs where the phone thinks the battery is dead. If I leave the phone off for a minute or two, restart it and then leave it for a few hours, the battery level slowly increases back up to what it actually is.
I'm guessing it's a software issue but I'm losing patience waiting for 5.1 to cure it.
I'm now thinking of downgrading back to 4.4.4 till 5.2 comes out. Very frustrating!

What voltage is actually at when this happens? You guys should track voltagr at full charge, and empty when this happens.

The new baseband / modem firmware from lollipop caused massive drains for me. You may want to flash 4.4 baseband.

Anyone else having these problems?

First off I would like to say I love the phone EXCEPT for these two major problems. First one....I will pull the phone out of my pocket and it will have put itself into airplane mode. It will cut the bluetoooth on and sometimes cut the location off. I have had it where the screen is on when I pull it out of my pocket and sometimes it will still be locked and this happens. Today it cut the flashlight on and the screen was still locked. I use a pin code for my lock screen. Second and the major one is dropped calls. I have probably made 13 calls and 7 have dropped. On one of them it dropped 3 times on the same person. Sometimes when I pull the phone away from my face after a dropped call or a successful call, the notification bar will be pulled down. Its like the proximity sensor isn't working. I use cricket and have had none of these problems on my S6. I guess when I get time tomorrow I'm going to factory reset but I was just wondering if anyone else was having these problems? Maybe I got a dud.

Maybe your issue is related to mine.
Press the top left of your phone, right next to the power button, a bit hard. Does it make it go on/off? If so, maybe the force when it's in your pants is causing it to turn on and do random functions.

Just did a factory reset. I will find out in the next couple of days if it worked. Will post results. Hope it does. Like it as much as my S6.....except the camera. The camera isn't bad but the S6 is great.

does the factory reset default back to the original out of box software or does it default to the latest version?

It's going to reset to the last ROM that was installed on the phone. Once you update the phone you can't go back. Well you can but you need a custom recovery and the original ROM to flash.

I did the factory reset and seemed to help my problem. No pocket weirdness and calls seem to be fine. Will give it a few more days and post results.

Dropped call
I agree with your second issues: dropped calls.
Even i'm facing the same issue. More than 10 calls were dropped in a day, did factory reset - worked fine for 2-3 days and same issues appeared.
it seems to me something with signal issues.
One of the post in another thread points out the signal issues with the phone.

Not sure if it makes a difference but I use Nova Launcher as my launcher and Rocketdialer as my dialer....and I'm getting normal behavior. The signal is slightly weaker than my nexus 4 was giving me in wcdma mode but that's the only quirk I've noticed.

New update

There was a new update today. The new version is N920VVRS2BPF2. Not sure what changed though.

I wouldn't download this yet guys/girls because it's looking like this is a security patch to stop us from downgrading from MM to Lollipop!! Once this has been accepted you can't even factory reset or it will render the phone useless!!

I don't know why people have an issue with Marshmallow. Runs flawlessly, I'm usually sitting at 1880MB of free space of RAM, no stuttering, looks and feels cleaner.

Not everyone's phone is the same that's why. Some people like Lollipop over Marshmallow and depending on how you use it and what apps you have on there are also a determining factor in how the rom runs.

Took this update earlier this morning, phone runs like a dream on mm. Starting to notice some slight slowdown with battery saver on. Might be time for a full wipe and reinstall. I did one with the first mm update but there's been like three now since then.

I accidently hit the install for this update. Ever since MM my battery life, screen on time, has been horrible (2.5-3.5 hours MAX). I've factory reset, wiped cache, tried the package disabler with extreme settings and it still is not right. I was thinking about going back to lollipop but if this update froze that I may dump this phone and look for another. that I can root.

That sucks dude!! I've figured out that if you factory reset *before* you accept any updates, the battery and phone will work much better! I'm not sure what you can do at this point except maybe try to Odin the stock Lollipop rom and see if it works cause maybe the other guy's phone was just a fluke! You have to enable OEM unlock first and enable adb in developer settings.

I'm on MM and did a reset last week. I could not sign in to the phone using my Google account for 24 hrs.
If you do a Google search you can find out about this new "security feature".
Also you can reboot the phone by holding down the volume down, then home, then power in that sequence for 10 seconds.

They've been doing it for quite a while.. It's supposed to be a security guard against people stealing your phone and factory resetting it immediately so they can use it. The simple way to stop this is to activate developer mode and enable OEM unlock and USB debugging! Most people who don't bother to read nothing should be happy that it's only 24 hours instead of the 72 (3 days) that it used to be! All they need to do is research before doing anything to their phones.

Yeah it basically buys you time to track it or wipe the phone and lock it down. It also gives you time to change your password just in case. If people don't want it they can disable it as I said and you can enable it again later if you choose to. I don't see how it's going to hurt anyone so long as they read and learn about their phone before doing anything to it.

What? I've been using Android phones with Verizon for as long as there has been such a thing...and I've never waited three days after a reset or one day either. Personal experience here or rumor?

Personal experience several times! Either it's on or off and the carrier can even hide the option so you don't even know it's there. Personally I think it doesn't happen when you're somewhere you normally use your phone but if you go to say another state it's going to know and activate it.

I've reset an lg g2 tons of times flashing it, s4 multiple times and my note 5 twice and I've never had to wait ever. Could it be because I use 2 step authentication?

This is totally false. I just upgraded my wife's Note 5 and then downgraded back to KK. All that is required is a factory data reset after the downgrade. You can do this by holding down the volume up, home and power buttons for 10 seconds. The phone will reboot into recovery and then you can reset and be on your way. Just keep your Google account and password handy if needed.
