Phone won't stay off - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running stock Lollipop rom with Franco R68. Rooted with CFAR. Since I flashed latest TWRP this afternoon the phone won't shut down. Every time I turn it off it turns back on after a few seconds. Not a major problem but is this happening to anyone else?

i dont have this particular issue but i found 2 other threads stating this issue here and here

Haven't seen it yet but I had it on KitKat randomly. I don't have a clue how to fix it, reboot don't help.

Pretty sure this is an r68 issue, I'm sure franco will fix this soon!

not because of twrp.
the recovery and rom are in two different partitions. most likely its an app causing the issue.

Having the same problem too! May I know what the "fix" was? The only way I managed to get rid of it was to reflash r67.

[Q] Complete freeze

I have the latest stock JB installed from the google factory images with simple root v1.0 and clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0, and my phone completely freezes from time to time. If I push the power button the screen goes off, but if I push it again, only the buttons light up, so I have to pull out my battery to reset it. It happens more and more and it get's really annoying. I just had a full wipe a couple days ago, and it did the same thing before, but I didn't had any problems like this with ics. Anyone else having similar problems or is my phone getting crazy? Any advice?
It's called sleep of death. Try to flash another kernel see if that works.

Thx! Didn't know what it was called, now I can look into it!

What? He has stock JB, with the stock kernel. There's hardly anything more stable than that....
The graphics driver had been throwing bugs, but the new r6 release had an update so possibly fixed bug. May be the cause of the OP issue

Haven't had my phone running stock so I cannot tell whether it is very stable. But the problem he described indicates this particular issue. And now bedalus confirms.

Camera problem

Hi people I have been using my Nexus 5 for a month now. Loving it! Going stock with Elemental 26 kernel, dalvik
This happens quite random, not often but it is annoying. Camera stops working.. I start it up.. And it just.. Black.. Waiting until it says "camera stopped“ a restart does help, but I have Sometimes missed some shots because of this.
Anyone that have experienced this and have a permanent solution?

To try in order - step by step if the previous didn't solve the problem:
1. Clear app data
2. Flash the stock kernel
3. Factory reset
4. Clean installation
5. RMA...
I had it on my previous device and it was a hardware bug so :fingers-crossed:

Thanks! Clear app data haven't worked, so will try to flash the stock kernel when I get home. Will get back to this thread if the step doesn't work.
And.. RMA?

Send your phone back to Google for repairs.
I've had this issue once while on CM11. A restart fixed it, leading me to believe it's a ROM/Kernel bug, and also hasn't happened on the latest nightly. OP, try a different kernel version.

I am on stock, maybe it is kernel related.. I don't know. Don't want to blame the kernel just yet. But 26 is the latest. Waiting for an update, maybe try another kernel and see if that help, if the problem occurs again.

Flashable zips of stock kernel are available here. You can also fastboot flash the boot.img file from the factory images.

Wifi unable to reconnect when coming back in range

I have this rather annoying problem with my OPO: When I'm on WiFi and go out of range and get within range of another WiFi (eg leaving from home in the morning and getting on the train where there's also WiFi) my OPO will not connect.
I've tried switching WiFi off and back on, tried forgetting network and connecting again but the network just displays as "Saved". Only thing that works is a reboot. Funny thing is that it actually detects open WiFi's and displays the question mark in the notification bar.
I've read that themes can cause WiFi problems so I haven't changed that. I'm using the Apex launcher with no visual changes.
I've rooted my phone but left the bootloader locked.
Any advice?
I'm rooted with the TWRP custom recovery installed. I had the same thing happen to me. If you toggle airplane mode on/off, it will reconnect. But, as for a solution, my fix was to restore a previous TWRP backup of my phone. I also had heard that the problem could be coming from a theme. What themes have you used? I bought the Flux theme and have been using its style and fonts. I was running the stock CM11s when this happend just a few days after getting my OPO. I would try a factory reset first. If that does not work, there is a thread in the OPO forums about flashing a factory image and getting back to 100% stock.
I have switched to the CM11 nightlies as of a couple of days ago. I will probably refrain from messing around with the theme packs for now.

Will probably unlock the bootloader. Then a factory reset should be taken care of I guess...

I'm now on KTU84P and the problem is still there
Yesterday I failed to flash MAHDI and ended up clearing everything from my phone. I had to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
to get back to pre-KTU84P (can't remember the build number).
So I guess it's safe to say that my phone has had all sorts of memory cleared. And the problem is still there...

I really hate to hear that you are still having the wifi issue. One would think that if you flashed all partitions with a factory image that it would solve the problem. You might want to have a look at this thread. This guy was unsuccessful in fixing his efs and bluetooth problems until he flashed Color OS and then went back to CM. Have a read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/fix-people-corrupt-efs-mobile-data-t2836389
Keep us posted.

Will have a look at the ColorOS thread. But I think I'll give Mahdi another go first to see what that brings me.
Thanks for the link.
Flashed Mahdir ROM yesterday and though the rom works just fine my WiFi reconnect issue has not been resolved
I find flashing yet another rom (ColorOS) sounds a bit drastic. Really no way of debugging what's wrong?

Although is sounds drastic I think it would be worth trying.
kevinga said:

No. I'm waiting for the update to hit my phone and install it to see if that solves it. In the meantime though, I installed an app called Smart WiFi Locker that seems to keep the issue solved (for now)

Thanks for sharing. I think there are two things that can produce a major restore/fix to a phone - a nandroid restore and a major rom update. I hope it fixes yours. The nandroid restore is what saved mine.

Been there. Done that. Read the book. Got the t-shirt.
Flashed ColorOS.
Factory reset.
Booted and got through into ColorOS (skipped account setup).
Booted into recovery.
Factory reset.
Restore backup of CM11S.
No dice :'-(
What are my options now?
A couple of days ago I completely wiped my OPO - radio, modem, everything and flashed a new stock image. Nothing has helped.
I really find it hard to believe this to be a hardware issue.

Just for clarification - after flashing Color OS, did you turn on wifi and use it to see if the problem was still there while in Color OS?
If your WiFi 2.4 or 5GHZ?

Yes. I would recommend you consider doing that. If it works then I would flash a fresh Cm11s rom, not a nandroid backup. Flash the Color OS and do a full check of the Wifi.

I was having the same issue, but here's what I did and it seems to have resolved my issue.
1) Updated firmware on my ASUS AC68 router
2) Boot into recovery mode (volume down+power), wipe cache and media, then factory wipe
3) When setting up phone, did not apply CM theme on the options after logging into CM account.
It seems like WiFi might drop when you get to homescreen, just reboot phone and Wifi should reconnect. Make sure to go into your WiFi settings and remove any networks that was saved, and re-add.
Still not ideal (since it seems like themes might be killing WiFi for some users), so hopefully a new OTA update will solve this problem.

No wifi after OTA to lollipop

After installing the OTA to lollipop, Wifi will not turn on. it's stuck at "turning on".
During the upgrade I did notice that the phone was hotter than normal. I took it out of the case while upgrading and noticed how very warm to the touch it was.
I'm having the same exact problem...
Going through some stuff... I'll post up my findings..........
No issues here. Hmm.. Really random issues with lollipop...

OP is prolly S-off/rooted like I am.....
What I've been told is to factory reset and see if that helps, or what I'm trying now is to do a nandroid from before I change to stock recovery and took the OTA.*hoping the later works for me*

Question I just bought a Galaxy A22 5G, and it's having these issues.

Reboots automatically at intervals for no reason at all

I already tried factory reset for like two times. Didn't help. Lemme try to flash another firmware and see if it resolves. Thanks
I also have the reboot issue. I don't have any other issues. My phone has the official firmware, I didn't flash any custom rom.
The problem first showed up for me a few days after the November firmware update.

For me now all problems have subsided. I haven't encountered any problems since last week. I didn't even update. The problem just vanished. Thank goodness. Btw, keep an eye out for One UI 4 Android 12 update. It's fix most of the problems. And might bring new problems too lmao
Oh amazing!! I'm happy for you! I most certainly will, I'm looking forward to the update. The weirdness is that it only happens very occasionally! Like, in total I've encountered it less than 10 times I guess. It happened three days ago and again today (while I certainly use my phone a few hours a day).

Let's hope your phone also would get better soon. It's not like a software problem or anything. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is. Samsung must have put a spell on these phones
Haha thank you! I still hope that it's a random and weird software issue, so that it can be solved in the next update lol.
