After three-four days of usage I noticed considerable flicker on the screen.
I have tried factory resetting, turning off auto-brightness, turning off wifi. But nothing worked.
After some googling I have come to know that this is very frequent issue on nexus 5. There is huge number of threads online discussing the same. Below are some:

In fact a user comment "#26 ndend.. @gmail.com" on below thread says that he got nexus 5 replaced 5 to 6th time for similar sounding issue:

I prepared a youtube video of my Nexus 5. Here is what is happening with me:
After more googling I came to know that google and LG has made some redesign of Nexus 5 to fix hardware issues, though silently:
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/90868...-issues-with-nexus-5-with-minor-redesign.html
So I believe both Google and LG knows that Nexus 5 has got some faulty design, but not just putting it straight to media but silently pushing the update in new devices.
In fact Google is replacing older Nexus 5 if you screw its screen, surprisingly by suddenly changing its accidental damage protection policy:
http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/03/ye...-replace-your-nexus-5-if-you-bust-the-screen/
Also some sites went on listing some mostly reported issues with Nexus 5:
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/524834/20131125/lg-nexus-5-top-10-encountered-issues.htm#.VAm5MPldWb8
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/nexus-5-problems/#!bP8d5j
Now I can feel that this is because Google want to take back some old design bad Nexus 5 back.
Am not at all a designer or electronics professional but from what I can read from this is that there is something wrong with the design of Nexus 5, something is definitely failing its screen stability, either a hardware issue or driver incompatibility.
I wish I could have realized this earlier before buying one.
Now I am in confusion whether to ask for replacement or refund, since I cant find any other flagship running stock android. The only one - Nexus 5 running stock android has these many issues. Is there any other? My requirements are 5"screen, 2 GB RAM, Quad Core Processor.
just get a replacement, got 3 N5 since release without that problem.
or get a refund and wait for newer nexus, if there are one
p.s. G3 is also a good choice if you don't mind.

without "that" problem..means you had different ones? And 3 different or in replacement you got 3rd one?
if you want, by also googling, you can find that aliens have taken over the earth.
i dont have sich issues with my n5, and the majority dont as well. some of the issues are even non issues. only a very small % actually see real issues. you can find info like this for any product. no device is perfect.

jeez, its even the old nexus 7. look at the date, 11/17/2012.
Huh, it's been 10 months or so and I've never seen a flicker on mine.
Some are just plain faulty, get it replaced and hope that the replacement works well!

Every mass produced product is going to have some defective units. Even with good QC, they cannot test every single unit thoroughly, it is impractical and would end mass production.
If you want something that will be thoroughly checked over to make sure there are no issues, you will have to pay a company to make a device just for you. That wont be cheap, your couple hundred dollar smartphone just into a couple hundred million dollar smartphone.
Thankfully, when there are genuine defects most companies take responsibility and give you a new one (though again, this will not be perfect with mass production). Companies will have different policies. Also, service reps, technicians, and the myriad of others involved in the transaction will vary (in competence, attitude, etc.).
But, if you have a screen flicker on this phone I do not see why a claim would be denied.

I had to sell my old tilt and buy a new one because I upgraded my WM to 6.1 and I was having way to many issues especially with it running too damn slow and with my frustration I ripped the keyboard off...
Are some of the issues with 6.1 fixed? Is it safe to upgrade my new phone to 6.1 without having the same issues I had before? If so what ROM do you recommend?
Well... when you get tired of your new phone (cause you bought the exact same phone) maybe you can sell me your new one cheap. I can always use a awesome backup phone.
looks like the same old issue people start crap threads dont read and some clown shoe like me has to tell you to do the research yourself because xda isnt about spoon feeding

btw I tried to find a answer but I wasn't able to get a clear definite answer. So how bout some help please?
Yup - all the issues have been fixed.
Jump in the waters fine.
A word of warning - while all THOSE issues have been fixed THESE issues are now extant and will bite you big time.
Same thing - different issues.
Out of curiosity - What are the "having the same issues I had before"????

Thanks for the reply.
I would tap the screen or press keys and nothing happens for 2-5 seconds. This would happen to me about once every 2 minutes. What was the original cause of this problem?
What ROM do you recommend? I've been using an old Nokia for the past couple months before I got the new tilt.
I want badly to say something a bit more colorful than this... but... uhm... WHAT?!?!
Performance is *very* ROM dependent, not to mention dependent on other software you add after the fact.
What ROMs did you try? What software did you add? There are a host of other variables...
The bottom line - there was nothing wrong with your old phone. In point of fact you probably bought an identical one. Any performance enhancement you may notice now is either purely coincidental or due to a different ROM.
In other words - C'mon man! Understand what you're typing before typing it
this is an actual problem people who upgraded to the official 6.1 are experiencing...
have you tried the official AT&T forums, then?

I ran into similar issue... The way I fixed it is by submerging my phone in a bucket full of water. It cleared all my problems. I am now very happy.. . I am not suggesting you do that.... all i am saying that what I did worked for me.

Best way to describe this will be SSDP (Same S*it Different Phone). I dont know how you going to fix all the issues by buying the same phone again. You should got a different phone...
I think its funny alone that you would upgrade to 6.1 and then continue to rip your keyboard off rather than do a simple downgrade back to the att 6.0 files... DURRRR
And no they haven't fixed this issue about ripped off keyboards....

Hello,
I recently switched to my first android phone from an iphone and I hate it right now. I am currently trying to update it to 2.3.3 but it won't work for some reason. The phone shuts off randomly, and the wifi connects but does not send data to my phone so i can't use wifi. Above all of that, the phone is really plain, and is does not appeal. Can somebody PLEASE help me with any of the above problems, and maybe even show me some UI's that would be good for this phone, like a Sense for it. I know nothing about android and I am really frustrated, and do not want to sell this phone.
Root it. Download mui rom and use iphone theme. Works well and looks great.

You shouldn't need wifi to update. Download all the files on your computer and flash them using nvflash.
The best thing to do is root, than download MIUI and youll love the phone, you can make it look exactly like an iphone 4s , or anything you ever wanted to
Yup, root it and you can do miracles with miui and even cm7....

I too came from an iPhone, and I had the wifi problem on the g2x too, where it's connected, but it's stuck. I was extremely frustrated, and want to throw the phone against the wall.
I ended up rooting it (super easy to do), after you've done that, you'll be able to flash a new ROM on to it. I use Weapon, which is based on the stock LG gingerbread release. It's super stable, fast, and best of all, no WiFi problem, at all!
I don't get this, if the developers on XDA can crank out these nice ROMs that are more battery efficient, fast, and with less issue, what is wrong with LG? You'd think that they have more resources than the developers here!
In our family there's 3 G2x phones, none rooted since everyone likes the vanilla Android that came on them. All 3 have been rock-stable with no issues with wifi, etc. Not the greatest build quality, but so far trouble-free. No significant complaints or need to root for ordinary use.
From HTC G2 with xda premium.
You don't even need to root. Just nvflash ClockworkMod and flash a custom rom.
(This is the right way to do it)
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Wait a minute...did you buy this phone new? If you did, from where? My ex-wife and I both got this phone in early September and it came with 2.3.3 pre-installed. If you don't want to deal with ROMs, just take it to a t-mo store (and actual store, NOT a kiosk...all the idiots work in kiosks, lol). They should have no problems doing it for you.

Exactly. The updater killed my phone too and I'm not a noob (am I? lol)
LG has a crappy updater. I ended up having Tmobile replace my dead one (THANKS LG!) with one that was pre-updated.
Probably what I would recommend doing if you don't feel like taking the 15% of successfully flashing GB on it the right way. Mine was stuck on the LG Updater Screen. Just call Tmobile and say it won't do anything. The LG updater app said it was already running the latest version and wouldn't continue.
It's a known problem. Then BAM... new phone with it pre-installed. The full update process takes HOURS. Transfers at super slow speeds. LG Updater also changes the version numbers on your phone FIRST, so if it fails, it's hosed.
Rule of thumb LG, never change version numbers until the phone was successfully flashed and verified.
The G2x is geared more for seasoned Android vets, so it isn't anyone's fault. It's a sweet phone though. I did successfully fix the "Update of Death Loop" aka UoDL by doing a FULL NVFLASH install of GB. The how-to is in this forum somewhere.
LG can kiss my ass. After over 2 hours of trying to upgrade the damn baseband the tool still keeps messing up. This is insane. They should have gotten it right the first time. I'm done with LG. Notice the time lapse of my second attempt to upgrade this ****. ICS is more stable on my htc hd2. I'm pretty sure I'm now soft bricked. Good luck to the rest of you dealing with this nightmare of a phone. I'll be using my hd2 till I order a galaxy nexus. Also if you know what the problem could be please let me know. I have all of the drivers and its a brand new windows 7 pc I'm using.

Did you reboot both items and make sure you follow directions to the "T" in the threads for this stuff. Also look into other ways. And finally this didn't need its own thread lol, but I understand the need to vent, again read through the threads and you'll see people having your issue and then you'll probably find your solution. Also make sure you are bone stock recovery and all I can't remember if that was a problem or not for some.

You could try the kdz app. Also upgrading the bb breajs bluetooth in every rom except stock. I actually upgraded mine and ended up down grading with kdz. New bb is only good if you stay stock or dont need bluetooth calling at all.
I know i was just curious to see how much it would improve the device. I know its only for gps but i was just curious. Anyway, ill look into flashing cwm tomorrow and just keeping the july baseband. I was just pissed because there is only so many errors a person can take before they vent. Thanks guys. I noticed that the ics roms are solvong data drops. Hopefully it becomes more useful to me.

Dont let it fool you, the new bb doesnt help gps, it still sucks. The only improvement it gave is that i was told i sounded louder to someone on the other end than i did on the old bb.
The newer bb also breaks bluetooth unless they fixed that. I'd stay away from the newer bb (maybe that's only on the ICS roms).
But I 100% agree with you, this phone should've been recalled. It would've been 1000x better for LG to cut their losses and recall the phone than to ruin their entire image for themselves. See you on the other side of this P.O.S. Goodluck!
Also disable any firewalls/antivirus. I was having similar trouble until I disabled everything.
Thanks. Yeah it sucks because this phone has a lot of potential but ****ty support. Maybe ill try disabling it and going for one more try. But i think im just gonna stick with the old baseband.
New bb is good in my opinion, but not really worth changing. To much risk for a phone that will eventually have little support, but the devs we do have are awesome and they support the new bb. Love my g2x,but can't wait to upgrade.

The biggest barrier, IMO, is Nvidia's refusal to release driver code or binaries to support the chipset that runs our phone's graphics. I for one am not buying Nvidia's stuff again.

Just picked up a new Galaxy Note Edge on release day 11/14/2014 from my local T-Mobile store. It was working great the first two days and now I am seeing issues using the Camera. Sometimes it works and others times it just freezes or crashes.
Seems like it may be a hardware related issues since the stock Camera app and Google Camera app are both displaying similar errors.
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue or if I received a defective unit. I read online that the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 had similar issues when it was first released.
- Server Error Occurred. Restart Camera
- Camera Failed
I posted a video on YouTube. Couldn't past a link but you can search for : Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Camera Failed Server Error Occurred
It could be a defective phone. Mine wouldn't focus. They replaced the phone and now it focus and takes very nice pictures.

Yes, you are correct. I went to the Samsung Shop at Best Buy and they said it is most likely a hardware issue. They tried to update the software/firmware but it was still having the same issue.
Only problem now is the phone is sold out almost everywhere near me so I have to wait until one is back in stock.
Yeah make sure you get what you deserve. A new one not a returned phone from someone that didn't like it and returned it. I had that problem with best buy.

I bought a Evo back then, same thing as you, quote: from best buy,we don't have another one but as soon as it arrives you will get a replacement. After 14 days they called to pick it up but it was a refurbished, used. Be careful bro. If you're within the 14 return date and don't get a new one, jus return the phone and get it in another place.

Yes, i received a message from Samsung as well. I sent them my information so hopefully they can contact me tomorrow and get this issue resolved.
Thanks.
I also had similar issues with my camera. It must be a QC issue in the hardware. I had pre-ordered my phone and there were no stores where I live that have the note 4 edge in stock. I had to online chat with ATT to get a replacement phone sent to me. ATT said it could be 3-5 days before they ship me a new one.
Thanks for all the replies.. I never heard back from Samsung but I was able to find a T-Mobile store that had a Note Edge in stock. Thankfully they were a great help and exchanged it for me without any fuss. So far the replacement is working great, hope it continues to do so.

My Note Edge Camera is acting up now. It keeps crashing with Server error and sometime BLACK Screen. I am 2 days past the 14 day exchange period and both ATT and Samsung both are pain to deal with
Samsung want my phone to be shipped for repair. They are saying it might take up to 10 days !!!
ATT screwed me loyally with their 14 day Buyer Remorse policy. They say the 14 day period starts the day they ship their their Phone !!! Isn't it supposed to be the day you receive it ???
No luck wit the store as well . Completely disappointed with Samsung support !! I am coming from Apple and used to get the phone fixed when i walk in to the store. Samsung is horrible !! No more Samsung for me.
Yeah man, its a shame the phone has this problem after a few days of using it. Samsung said the same thing to me, they wanted me to mail it to them so they could diagnose the issue. I told them to send me a replacement and then I'll send them my unit but they never replied back to me. Sounds like a bunch of BS if you ask me.
I could be wrong but I think online phone sales come with a 30 day return/exchange (might be business customer only). I know in-store is only 14 days, you might want to call customer care and double check with them. I came from an iPhone and I never had issues with Apple service. I would take it to their store and they would either give me a replacement or fix the issue while i waited. I'm done buying Samsung junk. The phone is great but I don't feel comfortable buying products from a company that won't take care of their customer in a timely manner.
Best of luck to you!

Thanks Ankur !! But here is ATT return policy...
Device Return Period
Retail Customers - You have 14 days after purchase (or shipping date, if equipment is shipped) to return or exchange your device.
Business/Corporate Customers – Tablets must be returned or exchanged within 14 days after purchase (or shipping date, if equipment is shipped). All other devices may be returned or exchanged within 30 days after purchase (or shipping date, if equipment is shipped).
I was able to return the phone in store. Going back to Iphone
The phone was good but the support sucks!!
Im part of the club! My SM-N915T is having the same problem, and the Samsung support representative is convinced a data wipe will fix everything. Any suggestions on what to do or say?
This is really not qool. I have the same camera issue. I think it started some days after first using it.
So far, if I do a re-boot the camera comes back on-line and is fine, but the problem with that is I'm a photographer and if I need to capture something really, really quick in the moment and it fails, I could miss whatever it is I'm shooting in that moment. A big part of photography sometimes is being quick in the moment.
I absolutely LOVE my Note Edge, but this is disappointing especially since it appears to be a HARDWARE issue, and can't be fixed with a SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE update. And sending in the phone to Samsung for repair means I need to wipe the entire device because all my personal data is on the phone. I'm really upset. DAMN IT!!!!!!!
did you happen to disable S Voice ?
enable it ! any my problem fixed.
I'll Try Disabling S Voice

Someone said to clear the camera app's cache, but that hasn't helped me.
I'll try the S Voice trick you mention since I haven't used that app.
I had the same issue. Read about certain flashlight apps messing up the camera.
I uninstalled the Tesla Flashlight and then just rebooted my phone and camera worked again.
Not sure what is going on with Samsung. I heard this issue was a hardware problem but if that was the case, then why does it work once I uninstall an app?
Had this issue. Called tech support, and surprisingly they walked me through booting into recovery and clearing the cache. Mine focuses perfectly right off the bat and is not giving errors or freezing.
TMOBILE UPDATE!

So I was reading around and I ran into this. Hope it works out for this phone.

T-Mobile LGV10 H901 MM ~ V10_H901_V20E_DeOdexed_Build_007-signed by Eliminater74 ~ Unofficial TWRP 3.0.2 ~ Xposed version 85
So, I wonder how Google is going to work out the system partition issue for devices that weren't designed to run dual systems when an update occurs? Interesting thing to consider.
This is all nonsense. The update will come out when it comes out. There are a number of factors that go into the release of an update, none of which can be accurately measured.

Google has already said that seamless updates aren't coming to current and older Nexus devices (http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...e-new-seamless-update-feature-from-android-n/), so I wouldn't expect for any pre-2016/7 device.
Rubbish.
Nougat is incoming according to the T-Mobile website. It will probably be a month or two before it becomes approved and and T-Mo put their bloat on it. But If the website is anything to go by, then yes the V10 is confirmed to receive 7.0. Strange that the G4 will not be getting it...

But can we root 7.0?

That's a total worthless 'click-bait' article with zero useful information.
All it says are 'could be', 'may be' and 'probably'....

One thing is true though. LG is one of the fastest to roll out major updates. I recall from my LG G4 was that it was the first phone to receive MM apart from Nexus.
This time around also the G5 is probably their priority. Once LG rolls it out then, T-Mobile is also gonna take their time. So it's gonna take a while.

so on a side note, my v10 just crapped out on me, similar boot loop of death like the g4, i feel like it has a bad ground, it randomly was on charge and started to vibrate continuously and screen froze, i have 3 batterys i tried those but fail, i have really good and bad wires and tried those, some let it into twrp without touch working and some wire allow to twrp with touch working for short time b4 reboot freeze, and one wire allowed to twrp with touch but twrp touch was slow af. literally like 1 hour ago. trying to get my files off internal :/ good day turned to crap, thanks LG
There's really no use in speculating when we'll get 7.0. It'll happen when it happens. We probably won't get it until early next year, so not soon. We definitely won't get it when the v20 does, since it's LG's new darling, and they said it would be the first major Android phone to get Nougat. So of course they want it to be exclusive at first. Hell, LG might even change their mind and leave use stuck with Marshmallow. The v10 is already pretty much dead where development is concerned, why bother continuing to update an older device when there are better things ahead? Looking back on it, had I known in advance that the v10 wouldn't have much development, I probably wouldn't have bought it. This is my first LG and maybe my last. But it still works so I'm going to hold onto it until it dies. Lesson learned, life moves on.

i feel you man, been looking into google pixel or the one plus 4, they look promising
Article says that it is coming to the Korean version second half of this year... maybe that means the rest of us will get it at some point as well even if not officially?

I think so. We will get it somehow. Even if it is the last update I'm fine with it. At least well get some closure and hopefully the software will be similar to the V20. Perhaps the Vietnamese Rom cookers will do a port. I'm using the H960 20m port on my H901.
Second half of the year seems a bit long to wait but maybe there will be a working version of xposed for nougat by then.
It's coming:
