Hello, I have had since I updated to lollipop so many problems with my nexus: continuous crashes, system that was slow, other problems to no end.
In the end I did a factory reset with the Nexus Root Tool kit, and I brought it to stock, with downgrade to 4.4.4
The problem is that these problems now finding them only with the wi-fi, and it's really annoying not to use it.
Just active wi-fi I start to crash, but if I leave it active goes more or less well.
Help me please
First of all, please don't use toolkits.
Try wiping cache and reflashing radio.
Why radio? Wi-Fi is a kernel module, not part of radio.
OP, sounds like you using apps that misbehave a lot.

Oops, halfway through that post I forgot it was Wi-Fi and thought it was data for some reason xD
I tried to flash cache, dalvik cache and reflash the radio, but nothing has changed..
Yesterday I used adb fastboot to flash the firmware 4.4.4 hammerhead stock, and still the problem of wifi persists.

Hey all,
None of the threads related to my issue helped me very much and the issue is still persistent.
Here's what happened. I flashed a new ROM (from CM11 to Purity). Before I flashed, I wiped System, Dalvik Cache, Cache, and Data. Usually there's no issue when I proceed with this method. I opened up the camera app and it had no front camera option. I tried other third party apps but still no luck.
I've heard that this is a hardware bug... which kind of confuses me since it was working fine while I was on CM11 M5.
If anyone has any experience with this or has dealt with the same issue, please let me know!
Thanks,

Why not try flashing something else?
I would flash the latest firmware to completely reset your device. If the front camera is working then you should be able to start flashing ROMs again.

Already tried that. Doesn't work.

Also tried that. Still not showing.
So I'm sure many of you are aware of this issue. I've encountered it twice on my Nexus 5 on both 4.4.2 and 4.4.3. Basically, if you enable/disable WiFi and WiFi Hotspot in a certain order, it breaks the tethering option and says error where it should say turning hotspot on after you click the box. Now, the only way I've been able to fix it is by doing a clean install of the factory images. Even writing the factory system, boot etc. does not fix it. Has anybody encountered this issue and found a way to fix it without wiping your phone?

I ran into this same exact problem on my N5 after I flashed the bootloader, radio, system and boot from the 4.4.3 factory image. It would say "error" under the WiFi Hotspot option when trying to activate it, even though it was working perfectly fine on 4.4.2. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out what it was happening. I'm not aware of any fixes. I ended up just backing up my stuff and flashing the whole factory image (including userdata.img). Then I edited the database file just like I did in 4.4.2, and now it works perfectly once again. It was all kind of a pain though.

Experianced exact the same thing. Love the new dailer so I don't want to rollback, but I really need my hotspot at work.
Someone any ideas?

Oh. My bad. It looks like I didn't explain as best I could. When I said "...flashing the whole factory image (including userdata.img)...," I meant I flashed the factory image for 4.4.3. Then, I edited the database file like I did back when I was on 4.4.2. So I actually am on 4.4.3, and the hotspot feature is working perfectly (like it was on 4.4.2).
I too had this. Switched to CM, as i was thinking of it and its gone. Have flashed a stock ro m and it was OK

Hi,
I just flashed my device with the new Android 5.0 stock image, only now i have multiple problems:
* mic doesn't work (i noticed since ok google detection setup doesn't work)
* no sound
* a lot of UI hangs/ crashes
* YouTube video's wont play
* calling doesn't work.
i already reflashed it multiple times, problems still persist.
i wiped my device before i flashed so i didn't dirty flash, and flashed all the .img separately.
Can anyone help me with this?
Update:
flashing this one with TWRP worked for me:

Multiple Android 5.0 problems on Nexus 5
I can't really help you much, but I wanted to express the fact that I also flashed the stock firmware image of Lollipop into my Nexus 5 and I am
experiencing a plethora of issues: Besides the ones you mention, please add CAMERA not working, show distorted image on screen, both back and frontal camera.
Shame on Google to release such a buggy and crappy firmware.... Truly expected it to be pristing.
On the other hand, have had on my other Nexus, a 4, the port of Android L and AOSP Android 5.0, pretty much flawless.... just barely minor issues...

There are issues:
- Battery dies in 4 hours. Battery stats aren't even refreshing to find out what is causing it. Phone is hot and eats like 1% in few mins. It actually discharges faster than I can charge! GSam battery monitor says it's Exchange Services that is eating all battery.
- Smart Lock loses connection to Windows 8.1 laptop
- Unable to unlock device, screen shuts down after you type in unlock PIN, after few retries it works

It's not crappy as I have no issues at all but that's not to say there are a few bugs here and there but mostly graphical bugs really. Functionality is flawless on my N5
Not even encountered a single crash, 8 hrs+ since installed. I wiped everything and didn't restore any apps. All freshly installed.
No solution I'm afraid, but just to let you know that I'm having exactly the same problem with the Microphone... so no phone calls, voice search etc. Just doesn't pick up any sound.
i reflashed the developer preview for now, that one does work without any problems (only the battery drain bug)
What method did you use to flash. Through a tool kit or by fastboot
i used fastboot, also tried it with a toolkit, both same result.

Failing that then you could flash this?:

Oh hell... that's... so embarrasing.
I have a Pressy.... I forgot I had it plugged in.... for some reason Lollipop saw it as a heaphone and mic.
I'm gonna just go sit in the corner now.
Guys, here's a thought - as it's a new base perhaps doing a FULL RESET is the way forward
I always do a complete reset and flash from fastboot (not bloody toolkits) and never have any issues so I'm going to assume everyone with issues isn't wiping the phone first (I know the OP says they did a full wipe but in general, most don't)
Thinking this was a problem with the factory images... Didn't make any sense at all.

i did a full reset multiple times, so that isn't the problem for me.

No, after you've flashed all the images, go into the stock recovery and do a factory reset and then allow it to boot up and set the phone up as normal!

This worked for OP but I just tried to flash this image and it did not work. Still no MIC SOUND. THis all happened After I flashed Xtrasmooth ROM from the xda dev section. Man this is depressing, is there anything else I can try ? I did a full wipe prior to installing it. Phone does not pick any sound. Only pick sounds during call in speakerphone mode....
I notice a lot of people having issues with the stock image. Flash the custom Roms...they seem to be working MUCH better..

Did you erase and flash userdata.img also during the flash, because i have none of your problems mate after a clean flash-all install.
Yes, i did erase and flash userdata.img, multiple times.
Just flashed lollipop and everything works perfect except for Bluetooth. Phone simply says there are no other Bluetooth devices in range, and those devices can't see the nexus. I tried rebooting, factory reset, re-flashing stock lollipop using flash-all batch and even Wug toolkit just to cover all my options but still no work around. Anyone else experience this problem or can think of a way to fix it? Anything would help.
Wipe Cache

Hi, one of my friend faced similar issue and wiping the cache from recovery helped solve the issue.
Try wiping cache and reboot.

So I solved the issue. Re-flashed 5.0 to the device, rebooted, and wiped cache. It still didn't pick up bluetooth as of last night but it worked this morning. Also, for any android wear users (or at least moto 360) the phone wouldn't pick up the watch until I did factory reset on the watch and opened android wear on the phone itself in order to accept terms and conditions.
@TheRoice
thanks, has worked for me :good:
Yesterday Wi-Fi works fine, but today it doesn't work.
I've always the "Turning Wi-Fi on..." message.
I had Puxe Nexus Rom, but then I've tried with stock rom and with a Nougat rom, but the problem persist.
I've do a lot of factory reset and try some tricks...
The only thing that happened:
I'm from Italy, this morning there was earthwake and in my town there was a tiny shock but it does not make sense that wifi no longer works...
Someone can help me?
You need to flash the custom ROM again do a dirty flash or else try installing Wifi Fix

I've installed multirom to try more rom.
I've installed Nougat as secondary, boot it, Wi-Fi works.
Reboot, Wi-Fi doesn't work.
Flash your .zip, nothing.
Re-install Nougat as secondary, boot it, Wi-Fi doesn't works yet. Do a dirty flash, nothing.
Install Nougat and flash open-gapps, Wi-Fi doesn't work. Flash your zip, same problem.
Before I've tried also with stock, using Nexus Root Toolkit and I've yet problem...
Only sometimes, when I flash a ROM, Wi-Fi works and it have a normal MAC address. When it doesn't work, it have 02:00:00:00:00:00.
EDIT: same problem with CyanogenMod.

You would have tried flashing the same custom ROM again and try flashing the Gapps this might have solved the issues
