Hello, before I installed Sky Map everything worked perfect on my rooted n5. I uninstalled skymap because I noticed that the app isn't working with 4.4 (cannot get input from sensors, so the sky stays still and you cannot point any star).
After that my N5 seems to "switch off" all of the accelerometers after about 10 minutes or half an hour. Until I reboot there is no way to make these sensors work. Every wallpaper or app that I can use for testing the accelerometers is like frozen.
Anyone noticed this behavior on his nexus? I cannot keep rebooting over and over all day long.... And there's nothing to flash or recovery since I didn't flash anything weird.

I noticed that EVERY sensor was dying after a couple of minutes. I flashed a CWM in order to wipe dalvik cache (I found in some forums that this operation may help) but got stuck in "wiping cache....".
Hard rebooted with longpress of the power button... and at the restart the phone was unable to read the (gsm) networks too.
So I downloaded the latest stock firmware and flashed it over.... goodbye. Things looks okay now, but I hate to be defeated so easily: the problem is that I fear a full-brick since this ain't no SGS2 any more and there's no usb jig to use in case of disaster. (happened 4+ times on former gs2).
I hope that a factory flash/downgrade won't be the solution for everyone having my same sensor issue.
Did you install any app that monitors the barometricc pressure when sleeping/standby?
If yes, this is a known issue because the access method to sensors while sleeping are different in 4.4.
Apps like these, that were correctly working with 4.3, will crash all sensors like barometer, cyroscope ... compass in 4.4.

try installing an app to read all the sensor data, like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innoventions.sensorkinetics
if EVERY sensor look dead probably it's a software issue, if only the accelerometers don't work... my feelings would be that's a hardware fault... In that case it'd be better to ask for a replacement
Yeah that app reads accelerometer movements on x y z I think its a software thing. I'll try re flashing to see if problem's gone .. I'll post the result

Received my n5 yesterday, I rooted stock and didn't flash anything. Was working OK everything but now screen rotation stop working on every app! I read in another post that installing an incompatible app that uses sensors may break it but as far as I know before it died I only receive updates for YouTube and superSU. Anyone else having similar issues? Maybe time for its firts re-flashing ?

I had a similar issue yesterday. I'm rooted and superSU'ed and no 3rd party kernels/roms etc. Everything was working like charm unless I installed an app (a random picked one from the market) to test the barometer.
Effects:
accelerometers stuck (= dead) after a certain amount of time (10 ~ 30 minutes?), No screen rotations at all... And then I discovered that EVERY sensor was kinda muted. Only solution to get the sensor working was a reboot. But then in another 10/30 minutes they would have stopped again, over and over.
Solution:
Since I didn't knew it was an "known" (??) issue of certain barometric app reading the sensors during sleepmode (or something like that, I didn't bother), I thought I had corrupted the firmware and reflashed the latest stock firmware and rooted again.
Now everything is perfect again but probably I only needed to uninstall that crappy barometer app.
Be sure you didn't install any app dealing with the barometer. But in any case, reflashing is very very easy you can do it quickly via command line in an adb shell.
Thanks for the response..mine stoped working completely.. I didn't installed any barometer or anything related.. So I can't identify what cause this, dirty flash worked for you? I don't want to loose my configs

no I'm sorry, I flashed hammerhead-krt16m-factory-bd9c39de.tgz (I really fear brick since there's not an usb jig to save the day) and lost everything. But surprisingly enough, the second time I rooted I didn't loose anything like the first time I did (the first time I used cf-autoroot, the second time I did something manually)
Hey, but I didn't try any dirty flashing, so maybe this can be a better solution for you!
I went back to stock + relock. Still screen rotation is NOT working.. Damn!! I don't know what to do..
Hello guys
I just finished updating my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it went fine but I immidiately noticed some "problems" when I turned it on. The thing is that my touch screen is not as responsive as before 4.4.3 update. On 4.4.2 scrolling was flowy and smooth like on ice, but on 4.4.3 I got big delay (half cm of emptiness) on scrolling through gesture (apps, home or anything..) and, even worse, when I'm scrolling down my Contacts list it dials randomly due to a lagging. Is there any calibration to be done or that's it?

It doesn't sound normal. Mine is working just as smooth as it was on 4.4.2. Have you tried wiping the phone? Do a factory reset and see.

issues here
my battery went from 19% to 0 over night.... in airplane mode. previously, it would only use 3-4% overnight, esp with everything turned off. almost woke up late
also, im having a hard time answering phone calls. i slide to answer, it doesnt answer but its still ringing
I noticed that there is a bunch of different problems reported last two days and I have decided to wait for Google's response on all of this mess. But I must say that my phone is working better now and somehow it heals itself )) Maybe this update is about implementing some organic components

I'm having a lot of issues with my phone.. Seems like an sd card issue. Ant app that uses memory does not work properly... Even the camera does not load...
I'm going to do a factory reset... Any way to save all settings on stock?

I also got a big issue on 4.4.3. since the update i get sponataeuos signal dropouts especially when i travel by bus or train.
It seams the radio has problems by logging out at one cell and switch to an other cell. Also the reception/signal is very weak.
Someone noticed the same? or does anybody has a tip?
thanks in advance :good:
Are you charging your phone simultaneously or is your phone connected to a laptop? remove that and the try. lemme know.

Go to settings > apps > locate google dialer and clear cache
For battery drain, install an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats (it's free demo version is available on XDA) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Observe your device for one day after complete charge (90+) and use it.
Using that app, you'll observe the apps/wakelocks which are causing unnecessary battery drain. Eliminate them or post screenshots here so that we can help you to solve battery drain issue.

I'm guessing OP's problem is related to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643097 but this is the first time I have heard the same for Nexus 5.
First thing to do if something is broken after an OTA is factory reset to see if it is an OS bug or whether you have incompatible data and settings.
It sounds like it would be a pain to do, but you can easily backup with helium nowadays so it needn't be

+1 - Clean wipe and see, it might fix all of your issues. Hopefully it does

GPS not Working
Has anyone else noticed if their GPS is working or not? I was trying to use mine last night and I can see that GPS connects and it brings up the map but then never navigates or even moves from the starting point on the map. Can someone let me know if this is a new problem??? I flashed the N5_4.4.3.zip file that someone pointed me to, as I had asked for a flashable zip file to update to 4.4.3 as I still have not gotten an ota notification from T-Mobile:confused
i have a question also,
what if i like the current mono toned google dialer?
when i get this update & it updates the dialer, is it possible to un-install the dialer update to revert back to the older dialer?

I did the latest software update OTA for my Xperia z5 E6653 Build 32.2.A.0.224 and it has a bug that will affect your daily lives.
- Contacts App force closes when selecting a contact and repoen.
- When dialing out a number, after 2 numbers the APP closes out.
Contacted Sony Mobile a number of times. There is no fix at the moment. I requested for them to re-release the previous software update because the bugs I am having now are not present. They will not release previous software update.
Used Sony PC Companion's Repair feature 3x, still with the same issue.
My phone is no longer a working phone. It is an android tablet that cannot make calls. How very disappointing.
Not seeing those issues??
Updated, rooted, installed xposed.. no problem at all.. try to do a factory reset.
Stock, updated, no issues.
no issues here, a factory reset should fix it
Do a clean install bro..

Did factory reset, no go. Guess I will have to do what shehabskjull recommends. Flash older firmware. That would solve issue since didn't have an issue in the past.

Mine has improved too... wouldn't say 5h SOT but def around 20% better than it was!!
battery life is better now, and the phone runs smooth and flawless. no fc with contacts or what so ever.

My friend is experiencing the exact same issues. He tried doing a factory reset and it still happens. He has the dual SIM E6683 model though. Did you end up trying to use flashtool to reinstall 6.0.1?
Edit: He also has never tried rooting and only uses the stock firmware
I had the same issue too with stock firmware (.224 customized MY) flash via flashtool. Flashed custom rom problem solved.

I did a factory reset and I get about 4 hours SOT. I've disabled loads of apps as well (probably most notably, Google). I have quite a lot of pictures on my SD card, how do you manage to get 5 hours SOT? I usually use max brightness (no auto brightness) during the day and lowest brightness at night.

Hello,
I'm posting this elsewhere too to cover a greater user base in the hope this is a more widespread issue among us s6 MM users.
This happens with most wifi points and isn't down to signal strength and is random. My phone will freeze briefly which is frustrating enough and normally whilst checking twitter or something then I glance up to see no icon for wifi or data... then 4G appears.. then wifi reconnects. This has certainly come into play since MM.
When I upgraded to 6 I did OTA. Felt it wasn't as fast as it should be and reset. Still not convinced I used Samsung smart switch to wipe clean and flash clean.
Am I alone with this glitch? It happens most days.

Never really had any problems with wifi tbh, I think your possible option is to do a fresh firmware flash through odin.
Have tried a network settings reset so let's see if that helps ?

It's still happening sadly.. starting the process of moving data off the phone in preparation for a factory reset from settings.
Annoying thing is. This was a clean Samsung smart switch wipe, download and flash! If anything the fault should never error have occurred!
I'll try the reset and see.
Oh and it happens on other wifi AP's too, not just my home router.

I had a simular issue. I lost The WiFi connection from time to time. It just lost the connection and reconnected again. The problem was eventually caused by a very crowded WiFi situation.
I placed a WiFi repeater inside my roam and this fixxed the problem.
You should check the WiFi Signal strenght with an App.
i have the same issue on everysingle rom i tried except cyanogen and miui so it an issue on sam software (happens also on j7 2016 )
