Is anyone else having an issues when on a call to someone you take it away from your ear and look at your phone and the screen doesn't come back on. I have to hit the power button to make the screen wake up. I'm all stock (4.4.2) with unlocked bootloader. I m trying to see if this is a hardware problem where I need to RMA or software problem.
Mine works perfectly well. Are you sure you don't have anything that might be affecting the proximity sensor, like smudges or a screen protector?

No, I don't have any screen protector not any smudges. I saw similar issues on other phones and someone said to clear data and cache on the phone app so I don't know if that will work or not.

What time out do you have your screen set to? Sounds like it's simply locking after the designated time.
I've noticed the screen turning on and off occasionally when talking. Almost like the sensor isn't sure if I'm holding it to my head or not but then I do hold it away from my face.
I have the same issue...
I can't hang a call because the screen simply don't turn on when I remove my phone from the ear.
In add at this issue, seems like the proximity sensor turn off the backlight screen only.
When I finish a call, I found the clock screen opened, in my case the settings screen of advanced clock widget...
It's really annoying...

Do you guys have a screen protector applied by any chance? Everyone had this issue with the nexus 4 because the sensor is really sensitive and picks the protector up, not letting it turn the screen on. Try removing a section of the protector where the sensor sits, this will fix your issue.
Surprisingly, I don't have this problem
Team Nexus 5 sucks. Underpowered battery for a 5inch 1080p screen that is non-removable. Weak generic antenna that drops signal. Worst speaker of any device on the market. Cheap plastic build.

I have it on 15 seconds. Shouldn't that feature be bypassed when a call is in progress so that the proximity sensor is usable. This is the first phone that I've had that has done this to me. On all others the proximity sensor stays live even after the predetermined sleep time.
After 15 seconds you're screen is simply turning off as you have set. Mine does so after 1 minute, which is my screen time out setting.

The proximity sensor is broken...

During a call shouldn't the screen timeout be bypassed then go back to the default setting once the call has ended? That makes much more sense to me.

This seems to be the built in functionality of the phone and not a bug. I can't really say if one way is better then the other but I just turn the screen off during calls now.
This is the bug...
really annoying

Same problem here do any one have solution for this..
Has anyone come across this before? I was watching a video on MX Player not too long ago, and it seems to have resulted in a permanent colourful static for the phone.
I can't really tell if it's doing anything, but when I go through the motions of resetting it or booting into bootloader, the screen does not change at all.
Interestingly the volume buttons are still working, and if I press the area of the screen where I think the buttons are (e.g., the back/home/programs buttons) I get the right vibrations. Which leads me to believe my screen is broken, and that it's a hardware fault. I'm hoping pretty hard this isn't the case, as my phone is only two months old and it was a replacement for a 6 month old Nexus 4 which had stopped charging.
Anyone come across this before? I'm hoping there's a kind of solution somewhere out there... To make matters worse I bought this phone via a parallel importer AND I'm currently overseas and won't be back till the end of January.
Sigh. Photo of screen is as attached - please forgive the terrible quality as I had to use my laptop webcam.
Thanks in advance, everyone!

Only time I've seen something like this was when my integrated graphics card on my desktop overheated, everything still worked, but colorful static everywhere. I'd let it cool down for a while, chances are it was pretty hot when it did that, and see if high temps might make it happen again.
I just had the same thing happen. Phone had been in my pocket and I had just taken it out to check the time maybe 10 minutes before it happened. The only difference with mine was I bumped into a table and hit the phone in my pocket. It does have a case on it and there is no sign of damage at all such as a cracked screen or anything. The static only lasts for a few seconds and thats right after I force it to reboot. After that it just goes to an all black screen. My LED indicator light is still flashing at me telling me I have an email though so I'm not sure what the deal is.
Were you able to resolve this issue? I too just experienced this issue as well and my phone is currently unusable. Thanks!
Do a full wipe as in wiping the entire phone and making it as if you just got it out of the box. if it persist RMA

Hi, I broke my screen (really bad smash) and had have this static on my new screen. The new screen was apparently fully tested. When using the slim port i can display on my TV and the digitizer works fine, its just this same colour static on the handset. I am now waiting for a replacement USB flex (it was a bit bent in the break) and i expect the new USB flex will fix it. If not then its a bad screen.
Will post the results when i get the parts
Fixed!
Hi,
My new USB flex arrived today. I installed it and found my screen is working perfectly.
The first pic is the same colour static that the op had.. Second one is the USB flex board / ribbon. Ebay for 20 Euro. Please remember that USA users are LG D820 and Europe/rest of works LG D821. I think its important for this part as the aerials connect here ans they are different in USA.
Good luck everyone

Static screen and freezing
Hi All,
Need help here with my 6 month old Nexus 5. It has been pretty good with no issues but since last evening, it started behaving weird. The chronological events are as follows
1. While browsing on Chrome some websites were not scrolling intermittently. This was only in the browser.
2. After about 10 mins of the above behavior the entire phone froze and didn't release itself. I had to force reboot by holding the power button down for about 10 secs. When the screen came on, it was the static screen
3. I again pressed the power button a couple of times but no use. Held it again for 10 secs, then phone rebooted and everything was fine.
4. Continued to use the phone and everything was normal until this afternoon, when the phone again froze while browsing a website
5. Since then the phone screen shows the static and if I press the power button once, the screen switches off and press again the screen comes on with the display showing properly. I can now only perform one touch which is registered and the screen freezes. If I switch off and on again the next screen / action is shown which is the action I did in the previous touch. Every time it registers one touch and I have to switch off and on again to see the next screen. Sometimes the phone just shows static and I have to wait a few seconds (30 sec) before using it again.
6. If I make a call to my phone, I hear one ring and then it is busy tone like I've cancelled the call. However the phone does not show the incoming call.
My phone has been intact and is well protected with screen guards and case. There is no physical misuse / abuse of the phone. I managed to shut down the phone and enter recovery. Here as well it only registered one touch, though the phone was processing and moving the next step. I somehow managed to initiate a factory reset through the settings, but no use.
Now in about 2-3 hrs the phone has become completely useless. I'm uncertain what the problem is, all my touch inputs are registered and processed. The screen just doesn't refresh to the next and requires a power off/on. I picked up this phone in the US and now in India. So I can't RMA the phone and I don't have warranty for this in India.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting the same issue. Tried soft and hard reset. Opened her up and seated all cables. The issue is still persisting. Is replacing the USB flex the way to go?
Hey I have a nexus 5 32GB and the screen started to do weird things and now it isn't working at all. Its the same in recovery mode also do I think that it's not a software problem.
I think there is an issue with the motherboard. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Same thing, Screen now black. Won't turn on...
Hey everyone, I know that this is kind of late to the thread, but I have what I believe is the same problem as everybody else here. I had my Nexus 5 in my pocket for maybe five minutes, and in between the times that I put it in my pocket and took it out again to reply to a text, the screen went all colorful and static on me (Red tint, almost as if I had twilight on, but I didn't). I tapped the back, and the colors went back to normal, but the digitizer wasn't responding to touch. Then, It went black. No color, the speakers weren't working, neither was the backlight on the display. I took it apart, and figured its either the USB flex cable (which looked frayed), or the mainboard. If its the USB flex cable, then I know I can repair it. If it's the mainboard... well, as a sixteen year-old who has no current source of income, I'm out of a $400 phone.
Pictures attatched. Thanks!

I took the phone the LG service center and the technician seemed to know this issue and immediately said that the USB flex cable needs to be changed. The entire fix took about 5 mins and the phone is working fine since then.
Sorry for the delayed response.
I hate to necro up this thread but I'm having similar problems to the op with my nexus 5. About two weeks ago I saw my screen get grainy just like the op and many others mentioned and then the screen went completely black. The screen still "turns on" but it's just black with the backlight on. I can hear notifications and other things and I'm hoping that all I need to replace is just the flex cable. If it's a problem with the logic board then I'm screwed basically.
Anyway that's my story. Bought the flex cable and it'll be here by tuesday so I'll find out then if I'm lucky or not. Fingers crossed.

Hey man, did you ever try this out and get it to work? I have the same problem and was thinking of trying this out but wanted confirmation first.
Thanks!
Just wanted to post here to say that this thread just saved me a lot of money!
Had the same issue (static showing on the screen). Local phone repair shop told me it needed a new screen, without even looking at it(!), and it would be £120 + labour. Told them I would think about it, and came home and did some more research, found this thread. Ordered a replacement USB flex cable from eBay, and fit it by following a YouTube tutorial, and now the phone is back working fine. brilliant!
Thanks xda!
I had a problem where my screen looked like an old CRT TV with particles flashing all over on anything with a static dark background. Any ideas
I got my nexus 5 just last month and is pretty much in the condition that it came out of the box. Don't even have too many apps downloaded yet.
My problem is that every call I make I have AT LEAST two disconnects because my cheek seems to have pushed the disconnect button. When I look at my screen after the disconnect, the screen is zoomed in and sometimes is even making another outgoing call from my speed dial list. I once had about 8 call drops in one call
I used to have a screen protector which I have pulled off, but the problem still exists during EVERY SINGLE CALL. When I put the phone on a table during a call and hover my finger over the sensor, the screen goes black right away. But when I hold it to my ear I can often see my screen blinking because its changing screens at random. I've tried holding it only on my right during the call, still happens. Only the left side, same result. Am so frustrated.
Spoke with google help several times. Did a factory reset 4 days ago. That fixed my screen freeze problem , but not the sensor problem. Since I'm in warranty, my option is to send it back to google for a replacement REFURBISHED PHONE. I can't even get my money back. Am so mad at their ****ty customer service.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, since I really don't want to exchange my brand new phone for a refurbished one.

Two options I can think of: Turn the screen off during a phone call, or hold the phone so the proximity sensor is situated where your head/face is. The sensor is pretty far to the right so it can occasionally miss your head thus turning the screen on.
I'm bumping this instead of posting a new thread. I'm having the exact same problem on Mahdi rom \ stock kernel.
This problem makes me crazy! I'm disconnecting so many calls!
Hey, any help??
Hi,
I recently replaced my cracked screen and all went well, expect that now the proximity sensor doesn't seem to work 90% of the time. When I make a phone call the screen goes off and it won't come back on when I move the phone away from my face. Either party has to hang up in order to get the screen back on. I've opened the phone up and double checked the ribbons and cables, everything seems ok.
The sensor itself appears to be fine, it's connected direct to the motherboard by the looks of things. I've wiped the phone completely just in case it was software related but that hasn't helped. Has anyone got any advice on how to fix this? I guess I could try to source a broken One S and replace the motherboard, but I don't want to spend too much on getting it working.
Any troubleshooting advice most welcome..
Cheers...
Mines been doing this since the htc repair centre had it,but its got a lot worse recently, proper random though it will work say 10% of the time.
I can't help with the sensor but I set the power button to end calls, its in the accessibility tab in settings, does make it impossible to use the key pad for options on phone calls though.
Basically for no reason i can find, sometimes when waking the screen from lock (screen off) it will turn the screen on and immediately turn off again so i have to keep trying to turn the screen on until it acts normally. when it happens and how many times i have to try to wake the screen until it acts normally seems completely random, does anyone know whats going on or how to fix this?
i also believe it did this before root (stock)
H950, 5.1.1, v11z, rooted, xposed
Happens to me too from time and time again, also like you said it's random and it happened to me on zv8/zv9 so not sure why.

Glad its not just me. Its annoying as hell and i have no idea how to fix it
bump
do you all have screen protectors?
Make sure you aren´t covering the proximity sensor thats at the left side from the earpiece.
This used to happen to me on G2 and G4.
Seems like knock on and several other apps are linked to the proximity/light sensors.
Try removing the screen protector or cleaning that part, sometimes it gets dirty from making phone calls or stuff.
no screen protector and I keep my screen clean constantly
Try to install some testing tool which tests proximity sensor and see if the phone reacts
This has happen to me as well, its annoying haha. but If you let your screen chill for a few seconds after it does it....it should be fine afterwards.
but in all honesty...get rid of the LG flex2 if you can...my screen is completely glitchy! Big pink horizontal line in the middle of my screen..and below it is a fully shaded pink distortion of color that keeps flickering...the phone is F*ked basically....and this is my 2nd time with this phone. My first one did it too..but not as bad as my LG Flex 2 right now! I am getting a new one today..hopefully it doesnt happen again. seems like a Hardware malfunction

Never heard any of your problems. I got 3 LG Flex 2s home and none of them having trouble. All on ZV9. Just mine rooted. Must be your provider making your life misserable.
I just replaced the screen of my LG G Flex 2. Unfortunately, the screen light goes off anytime I am making a call or I receive a call, this makes it very difficult for me to end the calls I make or receives. Please how can I fix this problem?
It's because of the proximity sensor.when you cover it screen goes off.same on every other g flex 2.
