Can't copy/paste?

I've tried to clear the cache, do a battery pull, restart my phone and nothing seems to work. Trying to copy anything from any app will make it not respond and yields in a force close. Anyone know what I should do?

You have to tell us, what rom you are using? rooted? Did you freeze any system apps?

I have the same problem. My phone is not rooted
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Stock, not rooted (no ROMs are stable enough for me yet..mainly CM and AOKP) and I updated to the new ota

I forget exactly what causes it, but a factory reset is one of the only ways to fix it.

With all the work that goes into installing all the apps and stuff, Id rather root my phone xP

Here's a post that describes one method of fixing the issue, if you are rooted, by deleting all of the files in "/data/clipboard/". It also mentions clearing the data in the "TestService" app, but not everyone seems to have to do that step to fix it.

Portable Wifi Hotspot Error after 4.4.2 update

Anyone else have an error enabling Portable Wifi Hotspot after updating to 4.4.2? When I was on 4.4 everything was working correctly until the update.

I havent tried tethering prior to the 4.4.2 update but today an instance came up to use it and it just gives me an error. Thought it might be carrier blocking but nope. Just did a google search and found this thread so just wanted to say i have the same issue. All on stock rom and kernel btw.
EDIT: ok so i decided to go and flash faux kernel (dec 7 release). Lo and behold, tethering is back and working. I guess theres a bug in the stock kernel.

Just chiming in that I am also getting an error with 4.4.2 on the wifi tether.
Worked on 4.4 without an issue though.

If you have root, delete folder "/data/misc/wifi" and reboot will fix it. Tested on stock 4.4.2.

Works great for me. Thanks.

Couldn't figure out what my issue was after restoring a Nandroid of an earlier version of Mahdi ROM. This worked perfectly. Thanks!

Didn't work for me

I actually don't even have that folder, is there anything else anyone can think of?

I have also got this error after restoring from nandroid backup. before that, tethering worked perfectly (on 4.4.2). unfortunately, deleting /data/misc/wifi and rebooting does not work for me, the error is still there. any ideas?

Did you restore from a USB or Internally? Having the same issue, thought it was my kernel, and yes I tried the solution of deleting the data/misc/wifi file and reboot but as soon as you throw on Hotspot, it has an error and wifi stops working too-Please Help!

Have had the error a couple times with the device. The folder delete trick never worked for me. One time I had to restore a nandroid to correct the issue. The other time I had to reflash the ROM (running stock, xposed, and GB )
Sent from my manta

After doing some testing I think the issue is from the restoring through TWRP, I just installed a freshly new rooted stock 4.2.2 and so far no issues, if you guys have any ideas-please comment away

I had this problem. In the end I switched to cm 11.
From the wonders of mobile telephony.

Worked for me on both my Nexus 4 & 7 that are using cm 11. Cheers

You're probably right. I today installed the fresh 4.4.3 factory image (wiping enabled). I then installed twrp. Then tried to tether on the fresh system and it worked.
After that I used twrp to do a backup, which I immediately restored. Tethering then was broken again.
Can someone else confirm this?

I can't confirm the TWRP backup, however it didn't work ever since I installed the 4.4.3 factory image with wipe.

This worked on the v4.4.2 tmobile NX5 to get the hotspot working properly [ I do over 200g a month with this method]

Seems tho theres a new or they replaced the same file in the v4.4.3 ota?
Im holding off on doing the v4.4.3 update due to the fact this is my only internet...cant screw up my device and then not be able to fix it!
Can someone confirm this still works on v4.4.3?
Thanks

Okay, I solved mine. I had flashed franco kernel without checking which version of Android it was supporting, must've been 4.4.2. I flashed the stock kernel again found at - http://bit.ly/SCFUfJ

Tried again myself. Could no longer reproduce twrp breaking it.

I was getting the WiFi Hotspot error as well after updating to 4.4.3 from 4.4.2, when it was working perfectly fine on 4.4.2 before the update. I was running stock/rooted 4.4.2, with stock kernel, and a few Xposed Mods like Gravity Box, using Philz Recovery as my custom recovery. To update, I fastboot flashed the bootloader, radio, system and boot images from the 4.4.3 factory image (and wiping cache and dalvik). I thought I would get somewhat of a clean start by doing this. Afterwards, I was getting the Hotspot error, and it would disable my WiFi until I rebooted, which was very annoying. After trying to figure it out to no avail, I decided to just back up my stuff and fully flash the 4.4.3 factory image to REALLY get a clean slate. After restoring all my data, and applying the fix to the database file using the SQLite Editor app like I did on 4.4.2, I can confirm that it is working perfectly again. Not sure what happened, or what caused the error in the first place.

works perfectly for me
I flashed all the factory images to get 4.4.3 into a clean state. I did the following:
*Executed the following command since I don't have root: adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0 in the platform-tools SDK directory
* Changed the APN settings to use IPv4
* Disabled IPv6 from Windows, only keeping IPv4
Rebooted phone, works perfectly. Used over 200GB since 4.4.3 and no issues.

[Q] Nexus 5 camera does not record video

My wife has Nexus 5 (it is completely stock and unrooted with unlocked bootloader) running running Android 4.4.2. Recently, the stock camera app stopped recording videos. Tapping the record button does not do anything while camera works perfectly in photo mode. I factory reset the phone but the problem persists. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

lock the bootloader and send it back

Try to clear data and cache from camera in settings.
If that doesnt work either and you really have done the factory reset, you have to send it to repair bc of an hardware deffect. :crying:

I will try that but I think factory resetting clears cache, anyway. The phone camera worked fine previously but now suddenly it stopped.
Thanks anyway.

I have the same problem, when I change the camera app to record nothing happens when I press the red record button. I think the problem started when I upgraded to 4.4.2

And you flashed the right one? Hammerhead-4.4.2
Like i said before, if that doesnt help, you have to send it back to get a replacement.
You need to uncompress each download before use, which creates a new directory for that exact download. That directory contains a ./flash-all.sh script, which handles the various operations, installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system. Note that this operation deletes all user data by default

I did not flash anything. The phone was OTA updated. Please note that the phone received OTA update and when I applied it, it completed its process but did not update (it was still on older android version) and this happened several times (I mentioned this on a separate thread here on XDA old post).

I downgraded Nexus 5 from Android 4.4.2 to 4.4 and now the camera is working fine. But I am afraid of updating it back to 4.4.2.

Yes, I did it. Flashed the stock 4.4.2 and everything seems to work fine. However, when I tried updating using OTA after downgrading the update failed and stopped with "Error" message. After flashing 4.4.2 from scratch will hopefully allow smooth future OTA updates. Thanks everyone.

Glad you worked it out!
Good thing is - you got a Nexus, so its easy to flash all the stuff and go back to stock/factory image/recovery/...
:highfive:

Any update on this? I have this exact problem. No unlock, not root just pure OTA stock.
1. Video does not record. You press the red button and no timer comes up.
2. A VID_20140126_224910.mp4.tmp file is created 395.54 KB.
3. Time lapse works as do all the other camera functions.
4. The basic Google FAQ has generic instructions if an app does not work so I followed these.
5. in safe mode the camera works fine.
6. Power off and on again. The Video Camera then works fine and creates normal .mp4 files.
Things I have done that may affected the Camera in the first place;
1. Clear cache.
2. Put a .thumbnails file in DCIM to stop the gigantic .thumbnail folder being created.
3. Running nova launcher.
Unlikely these are a factor as I isolated them as an issue and rebooted but worth a mention just in case.
Camera works but have found the it subsequently stopped working again and had to repeat the Google FAQ steps to fix an app.

To answer my own question I found the uninstalling Said It_1.3.37.apk fixed the problem and just to prove it reinstalling brought the problem back.

Quick update. the developer emailed me back. He co firmed it does the same on his device and will send an update.

No sd card found - it doesnt think there is anywhere to store anything.

Hi, ive just upgraded to Android 5.0.1 manually (13mb update from 5.0 didnt flash) by flashing each img Individually.
The problem in facing is that my phone no longer thinks it has any storage. Ive tried various different apps and some detect it and others don't. The only thing I have done that might of caused this is recovering my user data, but other than that, everything went fine.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or does anyone know a fix?
Thanks in advance

I had the same issue, 4 reflashes of the full 5.01 later .... grrrr
I can't say what caused it, I can only attribute it to a an app that was causing it. I had google restoring all my apps at once and each time I let it do that the SD would disappear/unmount.
On the last rebuild I installed apps one at a time and so far it's been all good. If it was an app I don't know which one, I haven't installed absolutely everything I had on originally.
No help at all huh ?
Cheers

I had something like this happen . Are you using 4.4 and 5.0?

This happens quite often. Download a terminal emulator and run "su" (enter) and then "restorecon -FR /data/media/0" (enter) and reboot.

Haven't tried this yet but I wish this solution was around a week ago, I've had to reinstall everything manually, rather than restoring it
Thanks nonetheless

at this point you need your wifi back. Do you have any back up that you can restore? flash official build , or another custom rom, flah a kernel...just get the thing working. I have had that issue before on a different phone after flashing a kernel, something got corrupted so try another.

I installed certificate from adclear app and rebooted. The reboot was stucked at google logo for around 60-90 seconds and then boot animation started.
i started cleaning my interner storage as i was preparing to backup on pc and flash mra58k image. And uninstalled android authority app. And deleting all the folders that were just eating space.
Any ways thanks for your replies.

It's not software. It's failing hardware. Your Bluetooth will also stop working, as it's the same chip. Mine does the same thing. I've flashed multiple ROMs and tried changing wifi system files. Nothing has helped...
Sent from my TARDIS

I bought my Nexus 5 the first month it came out. Since then I have never touched the original system or even root it. About a month ago my wifi suddenly stopped working. I have decided to root and flash roms, after factory reset and basic solutions on google didn't work. I have tried a couple of different roms all on android 6 and 7. Wifi still not working. I havent tried flashing kernel and I don't have a file called /persist in the main directory...
EDIT: Cellular data & Bluetooth working.

If changing software and resetting doesn't fix the wifi problem, it's probably a defective wifi chip. I have two nexus 5 motherboards in my desk drawer with no wifi (tries turn on but never does or turns on then off by itself) but cell and Bluetooth work.
