Hi all, I tried performing a factory reset on my completely stock nexus 5 and halfway thru I got the android on his back with the exclamation point. I held power and volume down to reset the device and the google screen came up and then followed by the android erasing screen. Its been on this android erasing screen for over 10 minutes.
Like I said its completely stock never rooted or anything. Any ideas?
Note, I updated to 5.0.1 via OTA earlier today.

It may take a very long time to reboot. Leave it. When I updated to 5.0 it took 25 minutes

Right but its not rebooting, its on the erasing screen. And I've been waiting literally 20 minutes. Never ever had a factory reset take this long.

Hold the power button until it turns off. Then go back into recovery and try it again. I've had that problem before

Thanks guys, I just did another soft reset and booted into recovery. It went back into the erasing screen and after 5 minutes it finally went through.

I just switched my N5 on for the first time and it has been stuck on the screen with the 4 circles moving around, for about 15 mins ...is this normal?
I honestly have not messed with anything, just charged it and pressed the power button.
Hope someone can help .. or tell me it's normal!
sorry buddy, that's not normal

Go into recovery and wipe caches and reboot, if that doesnt`t work go back into recovery and do a data factory reset.
Phone is rooted with latest TWRP, Cataclysm rom, and Franco kernel. It started happening when I flashed r11 Franco kernel and when I reboot the phone, it shuts down instead. I couldn't start the phone holding down the power button and I held it for over 20 seconds. I thought I bricked my phone. After few minutes fussing with the buttons, it finally booted up. However, every time I reboot my phone, it'll do the same and I had to fuss around the buttons keeping them press down for several minutes before it'll boot up to system or boot loader. As far as I can see, it can boot to recovery & system with no issue. I'm wondering if I need to flash to stock and reflash it again. Anyone knows anything about this or had same issue, please help. Thanks.

Listen like the kernel is the problem. So flash another one (easy way) or go back to stock.
If it's working fine then, it was the kernel which made this happens.
Much success

This is what happens: it gets stuck in the rebooting process. It doesn't properly shut down, it just hangs with the screen turned off.
Try flashing the stock kernel. Does it do the same?

Flashed with stock kernel and it's still doing the same thing. I also restore back to stock 4.4 with stock kernel and it's still doing the same. Do I need to unroot and root again then flash rom, kernel, and etc? Don't really want to do that if I don't have to but guess I have no choice? Thanks again.
Yep, do a factory reset and see if it's working fine again... I'm thinking so.

Update: I've decided to just wipe it all and start over by unroot and root again which solved the problem. It's rebooting correctly and not stuck in that awful black screen boot loop. Thanks.

what do you mean unroot and root again?

This means, going back on to the stock firmware. This will remove the root for sure.
After that starting with rooting again.
Hope this answers your question

Three or four times a day, my Nexus 5 wont vibrate. I can fix it by shaking the phone lightly or reboot.
I think there's an app that's causing this issue. Any advice?
EDIT:
I think it's only haptic feedback on keyboard and sorftware keys that stop working.

Maybe it's a hardware issue. Are you running stock rom and kernel?

Besides custom kernel/ROM/etc, do you have Xposed installed?

No mods or custom roms. Completely stock. I got my phone a few days ago.

If you suspect a app, maybe it's better to start uninstalling some of them. I suppose you use stock keyboard.
Agreed, the stock keyboard, if having a problem with keyboard, would be a good start to use versus a custom keyboard.

Back, home and "recent apps" button are also affected. I tried a hard reset and I hope it solved the issue, no problem so far
Try to install your apps one by one. Maybe that's the way to find the app that cause your problem.

May have had a flash problem then. Hope this solved for you.
I think the strength of the vibration becomes weaker, i've been suspecting that my phone has that pattern of behaviour, where sometimes at random you don't feel any vibration (or weak vibration) when pressing any of the nav. bar buttons (back, home, recent apps).. And then after a while it comes back to normal. Honestly, it doesn't bother me or limit when using my phone.
Is this what you're facing OP?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've experienced this issue. It is rare and only looses haptic feedback for about 5 seconds then comes back. I think its just a small bug. Nothing serious
I have exactly the same issue as OP on my new Nexus 5 32GB.
For me it also happens for 3 buttons in the navigation bar and for keyboard (both stock an SwiftKey).

I'd say it is a crappy driver bug. There was a bug on the galaxy nexus where in certain conditions (..opening apps from the recent apps menu) would lower the touch sensitivity, and typing would become a PITA, until you turn the display OFF/ON. Google never solved that issue completely, so i wouldn't bet they'll do anything to this vibration thing. Although, it's not a big deal as the galaxy nexus bug was..

What exactly do you mean by "hard reset"? I have custom recovery and just flashed custom ROM today with full wipe. The problem still remains, exactly as it was on stock before. How do I do this "hard reset"?

With stock recovery:
1. Turn off phone
2. Hold volume up + down and boot your phone.
3. Go to recovery
4. Hold power and then press volume up
5. Click on "wipe data/factory reset"
6. Choose "Yes - erase all user data".

So you are saying I should flash back the factory image and then make factory reset through stock recovery.
Will try that tomorrow.

You have a stuck power button. Pull the battery and then put it back in. If it boots right away that will confirm it. You can try to clean it or have it replaced.

Hey guys,
my brother owns a Nexus 5 (duh, otherwise why would i be here )
but anyways, his phone is just stuck at the boot screen. As in as soon as you try powering it on, it shows the Google sign but then it just continually restarts after that. I've tried entering the bootloader but as soon as I access it, it just forcibly reboots without me pressing anything. I'm kind of stuck here as I can't really do anything.
Does anyone have any clue what to do?
Edit: forgot to say he's full stock as in no root, no unlocked bootloader, no recovery etc.
Hi,
Keep the turned off for a bit and then try accessing the bootloader.. From there, go to the recovery and perform a factory reset.
If you can't access the bootloader or it keeps restarting again and again in bootloader, it might be a eMMC failure..

Could the power button be stuck?

I have certainly tried this. At the moment, im charging it. So let me get this straight, the only way around a dead eMMc chip would be
To RMA and request replacement?

I have also considered this as well. Is there anyway to get around this? Or perhaps fix this even?
Perhaps its also worth to note that it will only do this when its connected to a charger but when disconnected, it wont even turn on (as in no google sign or bootloader)

Same here - phone was in my bag overnight and off this morning (battery full).
When I started it up it went into boot loop.
Stock ROM, no modifications whatsoever, 2 weeks old phone.
Anybody else?

Yes. Motherboard needs to be replaced in the case of a dead eMMC.

Phones are not meant to be kept in the bag.. May be the bag hit somewhere and the phone took a brunt of it? Who knows??
Or it could also be a random failure..
Can you access the recovery? If so, try a factory reset from there and see whether it boots up?
