Hello guys, yesterday my nexus 5 suddenly turned off and than when I tried to turn it on some weird stuff started to happen. Sometimes the phone doesn't react on pressing the power button but sometimes it does and then I can see the google logo and it turns off. The most strange thing happens when I start to charge the phone. It turns on, shows the google logo and turns off and does it again. I found the guy with the same problem on youtube. Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

Sounds like you have a stuck power button.

Yeah, it's 100% power button when I hit the phone with my finger near the button or shake it, the phone turns on.

My cousins Nexus 5 screen is not turning on and the touchscreen isn't responding to anything however when using the power button it vibrates, I assume this means a replacement screen etc is needed but I though I'd just check first? Thanks in advance

has your friend tried rebooting his phone? long press the power button for 15-20 seconds, then press again to boot up. there are many reasons why the screen might not be turning on, some not even relating to the screen.

This worked on my device. It went off while I was at the metro traveling to work. It vibrated and I was unable to turn on the screen to check what it vibrated for.
Could you, please, share some reasons why we might be seeing this issue?
The phone has not been rooted and is running stock kitkat 4.4.2. It was upgraded using sideload as I was not willing to wait for the OTA.
I can't remember anything to reproduce the problem. All apps were closed and three updates waiting at the play store.
My Nexus 5 just crapped out.
Phone constantly reboots every second.
It turns on, shows the Google splash screen, then turns off, then Google Splash screen then turns off.
It happens very quickly stays on the splash screen for about 1 second then turns off.
If I hold down the Volume Down button, it shows the Bootloader for 1 second or less then shuts down.
If I hold the power button long enough it'll turn off. Now ANY power source plugged in or a QI Charger, it'll turn on and keep powering off and on and off and on again.
Now it actually won't turn back on without any power source. Not sure if it's out of battery or not, but it's not helping, since if I plug it in, it turns on then turns off right away, over and over and over and over again. No way to charge it like normal.
Anyone have any ideas? It's running stock with xposed mod.
I've never had this happen of all the Nexus phones I've had and others.
Phone was working fine today then I went to open the camera and it rebooted and then this.
Wow, yup just I suspect, I think power button is messed up.
I have a rubberized case on it, if I tilt it sideways with power button facing down, and just keep banging the side of the Nexus 5 on the table, it will power up and boot up properly.
Once I stop, power menus shows up and or it'll hard reboot.
The power button itself doesn't feel broken, when I press it I can feel it being pressed.
Now I have to figure out how I can wipe and lock the bootloader while doing this....

Nope. the case has holes for the buttons.
Speaking to Google now, they're going to do a warranty replacement.

Already done that, and nope.
That is going to be difficult relocking the bootlloader I wonder why the nexus 5 has so much problems with the power button
My phone has been acting weird the past couple days. It would randomly reboot but when it rebooted, I would have to hard reset it for it to completely boot up. For the past couple days it would happen a couple times a day. Today it was doing it almost every hour. I was just waiting to get home from work so I could back up the phone and wipe and then it just turned off. I couldn't get it turned back on. When I plugged it into the charger it turns on the Google logo and then reboots over and over again. When I unplug it, it shuts off. I can't even get it to boot into recovery or bootloader because it keeps rebooting every couple seconds.
Just a guess, but I think you're power button is shorting out. See what others think.

Yea I've seen it in another post. That doesn't explain why the phone keeps rebooting as soon as I plug it in. But I have noticed that for the past couple days, the power button was becoming really sensitive as in I would hit the power button to turn the screen off and then it would immediately turn the screen back on. But if its a hardware issue then there's nothing I can do but contact Google to send me a replacement.

I think as soon as you plug it in the battery gets enough charge that it boots but then the power button shorts out and it reboots

I tried tapping on the phone by the button and it turns on the phone for a little bit. Same thing if I wiggle the power button. I'm convinced that's the issue.
Yeah so it's kind of a strange title but I'll explain:
My phone dropped from about knee high. It has a great spigen armor case and no damage was done but I added this line just because maybe that's where things went bad.
Also, I changed it's battery a couple weeks ago.
Anyway, I was watching a video when all of the sudden my phone just turned itself off (about a day or two since it's dropped, so I don't think that was the problem because I never had any problems with it). I thought it might have been my battery but I changed it back to my old one and still nothing has changed.
The problem actually is that I hold the power button and it won't turn on. But if I do it while shaking it or hitting it against the palm of my hand, then it turns on, displayed the Google logo and then turns off after about 2 seconds.
I tried holding down the volume key and still nothing, it just won't boot.
When I plug it into a charger, it displays the Google logo and then reboots, and this problem is repeated. Logo, reboot, logo reboot, etc.
I really don't know what to do, please help me guys
Sounds like a stuck power button. It's not that uncommon. You might have to get it replaced at a cell repair store.

I disagree. When the phone turns on, it starts to load the Android logo after the Google logo but for exacly half a second and it always turns off at the same point.
The button clicks, and it is very easily pressed. I also tried to push it back with a small screwdriver after I opened the back cover and still, no change.

When the phone is off plug it to the charger. If it keeps restarting at google logo then I am 90% sure it is a power key problem.
How do you know if your phone is male or female?

Well, looked into it and it was indeed the power key. I started clicking it very rapidly while it was booting and I managed to turn it on.
Now everytime I click it, it either turns the screen on and off as if I pressed it twice, or it just gets stuck and does that thing it did earlier with the bootup.
Is there a way I can fix this myself instead of taking it to a repair shop?
I had my phone unlocked and it was sleeping and then when I came to turn it on nothing would happen. It wouldn't even come on when I plug the charger in. I got it to restart by pressing the bottom volume and power button at the same time. Anyone else have this problem?

I didn't understand, you got it to restart? does it work now?
can you see something? maybe try to turn it on, wait a minute and then call it, if you hear something your screen died..
also, try to get in to recovery mode or download mode..
