Hopefully someone here will be able to help me out and it won't mean that I have to send my phone back to Sony for repairs.
The last week or so my phone has been constantly freezing and I have to turn the screen off for a bit then I turn it back on and it would work for a bit. I was running the latest stock Sony rom. I decided to reflash the stock Sony rom and start again thinking it would have been something that went wrong there. Unfortunately it didn't help and it is continuing to freeze.
The odd this is that it is not the whole phone that freezes. If I am typing a message and the screen freezes, I can continue typing while the screen is frozen and the message will still send. So it seems the actual phone is not freezing, only the image on the screen is freezing.
Hopefully someone may know why it is doing this and I won't have to send my phone back to sony...thanks in advance.

It has started for about 2 weeks now. The phone pops up a message saying for me to save and that if I want to save before I turn off. If I try to turn off the screen, the top button wont react. I have to press twice to get it off, then it comes back on and it gives me the same message. I have to soft reset it to get it working again.
I also did a ROM update and that reset it everything, but then it started doing it again.
It is hardware right?
So this is becoming very annoying this ****e keeps popping up and its draining the ****e of my battery. Anyone has had this problem.
I don't really have a solution for this, but I had the same and also was thinking it's hardware related...
I tried opening up the phone and cleaning it out, first with no noticeable effect (except I broke my speaker wires, be carefull with that if you ever decide to open up your phone), but it seems like something went right, because I only rarely have that problem now ...
One theory I had was that water might have sipped in the button or something, so I'm leaving it out the bathroom when I'm taking showers now.
Anyway, if anyone else has had this problem and did something about it, I'm also very interested to know...
Actually to me, it sounds like some app has gone rogue. Have you installed or modded anything after you flashed the updated ROM? I would suggest if you have anything of importance, that you save/backup that information before performing a hard reset as this will reset everything back to stock for the ROM that you are using. I am using the ROM in my sig/signature and I am not experiencing any of the issues you are describing. It is a custom/cooked ROM so you will need to have HARD-SPL'd your device before you flash. Also, there is a CDMA version on PPCGeeks if you have that type of device.
n-Joie! (Enjoy)
So last night, I was on my phone, running stock rom, not rooted, and I was setting a wallpaper through Zedge and it hung up and GoLauncherEx hung up a couple of times and the message with the Force Close - Wait - Report came up so I hit force close both times, then the phone restarted.
Now the problem is that nothing on the phone seems to be functioning. Can't swipe the unlock screen, power button doesn't bring up the lock screen or get rid of it. I unplug the phone and plug it back in, and it the screen comes on and sits there in it's non responsive state.
I still receive notifications, and everything but can't unlock the phone. I have noticed the phone doesn't hold a charge now, and when it's plugged in gets abnormally hot, but I don't know if that's what's causing these problems.
Any help is appreciated, as I do not want to buy another phone. lol.
I would do a warranty exchange with Motorola
That is very strange, there should be no reason that Zedge or a Wallpaper changing would make that happen...
Anyways, before you decide to try an exchange with Motorola, try flashing the fxz to revert yourself back to complete stock (this wipes ALL of your data!). Tutorial found here.
The only reason I suggested the warranty exchange is because of it getting abnormally hot. He has some weird issues going on that I don't believe the FXZ will fix, but its worth a try.
First I want to mention that I'm completely Stock except for the OTA updates up to 4.4.4 No root, or custom kernals or anything, I just haven't needed. Starting two days ago after my update to 4.4.4 I've had kind of an odd issue that I can't pinpoint. At random times that I can't connect to me doing anything my Nexus screen just stays black as if it was off regardless of what I do. Holding down the power button does nothing though it vibrates once after a few seconds. Eventually on it's own at some point it will either reboot or will just work as normal. However after this happens I can't seem to get any text messages. Even though I have connection and can send texts, I won't get any new texts until I manually reboot the phone and even then I'm not sure.
Any ideas on what is going on? My own theory is that maybe it's having little heatstrokes, but I'm not sure how to check that on my phone or how I could solve it if that was it.
Thanks for any info!
Backup everything. Go to recovery and perform a factory reset and see if it fixes it?
Hello! I have a stock Android Lollipop 5.0.1 Nexus 5 and for the past week or so I have been experiencing a weird issue.
The device randomly crashes. By "crashes" I mean the screen goes black, but the backlight is still on (it's a lighted black). I can push the power button and it will turn completely black (locked) and if I push it once more it turns lighted black again.
To get the device back into usable state I have to keep the power button pressed until the phone resets. Sometimes I keep it pushed for a full minute and nothing happens, sometimes 10 seconds are enough. Sometimes it will go through the "Google" logo and then stay in the lighted black state until I finally manage to reboot it again. Sometimes it crashes again right after it boots up.
It's weird because a lot of the times it's ok throughout the day and then when I go out in the evening, I take it out of the pocket and I see it crashed. Sometimes it crashes while I actually use it.
Last night it started doing something else: instead of lighted black, the screen is filled with static noise. It doesn't move or anything, it's a still image. Today, when a crash like that occurred, the screen glitched first (random lines on the screen, some parts got moved, really weird). I will get some photos if it happens again.
The problem is that I can't identify what's causing it. There is no particular app or action that I do / use that triggers this. It also doesn't seem to be movement-based, as it sometimes happens while it's sitting still on a table.
I updated to 5.0.1 about a day before this started happening, but I'm still not sure if it's software or hardware-based.
I tried a factory reset and booting into safe mode, none of these helped. I will only consider flashing a custom ROM as a final resort, because I'm not sure if it voids the warranty.
PS: the device is still under warranty, but I'm away for the holidays and will be until the beginning of the next year. And I'd like to have a usable device, especially while I'll be on the road.

I have none of your issues, try booting the device in safe mode and see if the problems still occure. It must be a or multiple downloaded apps that are causing your issues. Or try a data factory reset and restore/download your apps one by one amd try to identify the culpritt.

I said in the post that I tried both of those things. The crash occurred seconds after booting in safe mode and factory reset did not help either.

Flashing the 5.0.1 factory image in fastboot should fix your issues. Or try flashing system.img first, maybe thats enough.
Same issues with my Nexus 5

I am experiencing SAME exactly issues in my N5 with 5.01 and 5.1 . EXACTLY... you are not alone
Seems a software problem (third party app ?) , started in 5.01 and now is in 5.1 , of course system and boot images where flashed with fastboot, so no solution using
Stock, Rooted, using Nova Launcher - Smartwatch 2 - Google Cardboard - Chromecast and many apps.
But started ..if memory helps .. after installing Cardboard 3D apps.

My phone had an issue with the screen. I went to the LG service and they replaced the screen entirely, so that's that.
again and again...
i'm in the same case... I don't have any clues or solutions, i'm just wainting like a dumb... I don't know what to do, i always have to make the thing with the power button and the lower sound button to make it show the boot screen, but it glitch after few seconds... PLS HALP
1.
First, the current situation is that the screen does not come on while the power is turned on.
If you look closely, the light of the screen comes out, but it is a black screen.
So when I press the power button several times, I sometimes see the screen once, and when it is bad, the screen keeps blinking only on the black desktop.
No matter what I did, it was not restored, I disassembled it, pushed the battery part for a while, then contacted me again, and the screen started to come out again! However, after about three hours, the symptoms began to appear again. Now I keep repeating this phenomenon and just use my cell phone.
2. ((First things I did.))
I used the flashtool to update my stock firmware. Soon after I knew the wrong thing, I put the firmware over again. I tried to get the firmware for my country. Then I was disappointed to see that the TTA-VOLTE I wanted was still not working. So I decided to install Android 9.0 (Pie) and install TWRP and install it as WIPE. It was the beginning of all these.
Since then the above symptoms have been manifested and the stock firmware does not work even if you do anything
please... save me... :crying::crying:
