Nexus s problems

What's up xda forums.had a couple of concerns with my phone. my nexus s stock running 2.3.2 rooted and unlocked. Here are some of my issues so far
While driving and on the phone, sometimes the call drops after making a nasty sound and stays stuck on the hanging up screen and I can't make or receive a call till I reboot.
When turning the phone off sometimes and turning back on, the screen hangs for a while and 4 seconds later ill feel the phone vibrate 2-3 times and go back to normal in which its not lagging.
When opening my gallery the phone takes about 5 seconds to show me my thumbnails of my photos.it does this every time. Also when I take pictures it takes about 10 seconds to see the photo I took. When talking on the phone I drop alot of.calls or I hear the person sound like a chipmunk lol.
Is my phone messed up? Is the stock rom messed up? I flashed a stock image thru clockwork after I tried a alpha cm7build. Was it corrupted or is my phone a pos. My nexus one never gave me this many problems.
Any help would be great

Well, yeah, most of your problems have been mentioned by someone here at one point or another. Some of them have workarounds, some are waiting for fixes from Google.
I think if you try a few searches with the search button in this and the General section you'll find already lengthy discussions on most of those issues.
These problems started after you flashed back to stock?
Try clearing caches and reflash I guess.

Maybe even a fastboot oem unlock again to force a TOTAL WIPE of the phone. Be careful, sdcard contents are wiped too.

The only major issue I've had only happened once, and it happened for the first time yesterday: Without me touching the back button it started flashing and going back through the app I was in at great speed. It was rather frustrating but its only ever happened the one time.
What some people forget is that the Nexus One also had a lot of problems apon release,
All was ironed out by google

Im gonna try this right now. thanks for your help
I was able to make one of the problems repeat.. seems cause of the case i have everytime i hit the power button my thumb seems to hold down the volume rocker right in the middle. i then unlock the phone while its still tying to catch up from something.. cause 4 seconds later it will vibrate 2-3 times and the phone is back to reg speed.. there something wrong with my rom or can ya make this happen too?
Yup I get most of these issues too, it really spoils the experience. Next time I'm not gonna get a google phone straight upon release, it's really not worth the hassle. Also does anyone have problems with the wifi? Mine is horribly weak its a joke, struggles with wifi from my bedroom which my laptop and old Iphone 2g handled fine

Nexus 5 keeps crashing/rebooting

Hey guys,
I just picked up my Nexus 5 and I noticed especially on cameras my camera stops responding and I can't even click "OK" or "Cancel" it's just frozen and i have to reboot it. THis happened to me 10 times in the last hour now... any ideas?
did you do anything to the phone?
root anything.
everything is stock?
Mine does the same thing. It was doing this from day one and now it keeps doing it after I rooted..
Not sure what the issue is, but I probably have to restart my phone about once every three days.
Oh btw, I use face unlock so its really annoying when the camera stops working
I would suggest using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513937
or this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517778
restore to stock completely, break the root and see what happens.
edit: this one as well I think it will be easiest and then try again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525026
need more information if you are loading a custom rom/ kernel etc. I know you probably are not but we cannot assume anything.
My Nexus 5 does this even after a full refresh mainly when not touching it. I updated to 4.4.1 and still no luck. Did you resolve yours?

My Nexus 5 is constantly rebooting itself every 5 seconds. There's no time to try any recovery option while it is turning on because it turns off immediately. Do you have any possible solution for this issue as well?
THANKS!

Nexus 5 brick from first setup?

Today I got my nexus 5, but unfortunately I have a lot of problems. After entering my Google account information and walk away for 5 minutes, my phone was locked. When I came back, I wanted to unlock my phone. My phone failed, and the screen remained black. I tried to play, what with the buttons, but the screen remained black. I received some weird stripes, and the phone was very hot. After a while the phone restarts, and came back in android. Then I got an update to 4.4.2, after restarting everything seemed to work well. After an hour I got the same problems again, phone failed, and the screen remained black and locked. I get a message about QHUSB_BULK driver is not installed, and MTP failed.
Phone is factory and nothing is installed, it was the first setup.
So now I'm still with a black screen and locked phone
First try a reset looks like a screen issue though

How to reset, I cant shutdown the phone, the screen is black and I see no shutdown button.
Make sure it's charged. Press and hold the power button (for 15 seconds or so). But it sounds like you may need to RMA it. I'd be contacting Google if I were you.

Nexus 5 repeatedly shows Google logo

My Nexus 5 is stuck on boot loop. It won't turn on its own. The moment i connect to a charger, the Google logo flashes and the phone vibrates and after a few seconds does the same thing. Please help. I am unable to go to the recovery screen either. Please help if any of you have faced similar issues. I am in India. 16 GB Nexus 5, bought in January.
History of what happened?

Sounds like the power button is stuck. Try pushing it hard many times but you'll probably have to have it replaced.

Well i banged the phone down on sofa in frustration. And now its back to working normally. Spoke to Google Play support as well and they suggested to keep the phone in Safe Mode and observe if it happens again. I think its a loose power button problem and not really anything to do with the apps or S/W. What do you guys suggest?

Since it's up and running now, you can't technically file a RMA. If this issue pops up again, instead of banging your phone, call support and setup RMA.

Wish i knew that before. Now i have 2 months left of warranty and i don't know what to do?
If it is good til your warranty expires... Then acts up. It can be fixed for a reasonable cost.

Android Sytem.UI has stopped working HTC U11

Hello,
I have an HTC U11, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage and for unknown reason it displays this message: Android System.UI has stoppedn working. I tried factory restet, I cleared cache partition, I installed a new kernel (cleanslate). It comes back to normal after I reboot the device (I cannot do anything on it because nothing will work)
Hello, I'm experiencing the same error. I thought it's from some app that I installed but it's not. It does crash about at least once a day. The screen just blinks on and off in the lock screen if I try to turn it on.
The only solution is to soft reset it.

Same here, can't find the reason and only restart can fix it until the next crash... Spooky!?

Maybe you have damaged phones? I know that when my phone fell on the top left edge and screen cracked, also SIM was affected. It works but only without PIN code. If I have pin code I get system UI errors, cannot use the device at all.

Same issue here, occurs one in a week, since I realize hard reset, not happen again.
Simply can't unlocked the phone, lock screen blinks, and the only solution is soft reset, I hope this not happen again.
Hi,
I have the same issue - it's been happening once a week for a few months now - the screen is blinking and the only way to "fix" it (temporarily) is to [soft] reset the phone. The error I get (when I can see it) is what the OP mentioned.
I too thought that it might be one of my apps but it's been happening even after I disabled a few apps.
I haven't ever dropped my phone...
Could it be a hardware issue (my phone is still under warranty with my company)?
Has anybody tried a hard reset?
Cheers
