You need to start with removing the new SystemUI. This is a buggy application and this is perhaps a cause of your scree issue.. And because of some FC i would recommend a factory reset.

Nexus 5 keeps crashing!

Managed to get myself one from the CPW yesterday afternoon, and since then I think my new phone has crashed about 150 times. Every time I open any browser app, it crashes. If I use the loud speaker then which back to earpiece while on a call, it crashes. The list goes on.
Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
I got mine from CPW and now had a single thing crash! A few apps have lagged for a second or two but that's becuase they haven't been updated I'm assuming.
But as far as the OS is concerned I have not had these problems. Maybe something went wrong during your update? I'd try a reset.

Thanks for the reply. Just tried a factory reset. I noticed that I didn't need to download the update this time. As soon as I tried a few of the apps it crashed.
Any other ideas?

i had the play store crash on me quite abit when browsing my app purchase history, also the main launcher a couple of times. i don't think it's *quite* ready for primetime just yet. the price of being an early adopter i suppose.
Yeah suppose it is. I'm having to take it back today. It's restarting every 2 mins. Gutted!

The camera app crashed multiple times even after a reboot.
Also, when I was trying to search contacts the google search crashed.
I'm also having seemingly random crashes. At least a few times a day. No pattern. Could be from pressing the power button. Watching a video on YouTube. Just typing into this box. Anything. I already tried doing a factory reset. No luck.
Maybe a bad flash? Reflash factory image if it still crashes, return it. I've been using mine since Monday, the only thing that crashed was Firefox Beta but that's fixed now with the new update.
Had my nexus 5 for about 3 days now.
It randomly restarts through out the day,
I'll be watching youtube videos with the youtube app I'll just watch the volume bar just go to 0 when I'm not even touching the volume buttons, I'll turn it back up only for it to auto turn back down.
Today I'm having issues with the camera, very time load the camera and try to take a picture, it will just freeze and the phone will reboot.
I've also had issues with the WiFi connecting to my network, like I have to trick it into connecting.
I want to love this phone but all of this random crap is pissing me off.

I'll give this a shot and report back!
How to understand crashed? Rebooted or just your apps crashed on it?
If only apps, it might be 'cause they are not compatible with Android KitKat yet.

For me it freezes up for around 5-10 seconds then restarts. There is no usage Or app associated.
Tried reloading the stock image. No difference. RMA it is!
Nexus 5 problem list:
Oops...my earlier reported problems with crashing were resolved after simply restarting phone...
Wow...I haven't had a single crash on Android from 1.6 all the way to 4.4.2 now. Guess I'm just lucky. I did have a Moto X that kept rebooting though, but it turned out to be a bad RAM chip. Maybe thats the problem here?

Force Touch Problem

Hi everybody.
I noticed a problem on my S8+, with the Home Button Force Touch feature not working when the phone is hot, or even randomly.
Does anyone have a problem like that ?
I think this happens since the last update, but I can't be sure because I had the update 3 days after I got the phone.
Thanks.
I had the same issue about a month ago. I asked about it in every forums but no one answered.
Problem happened when I was playing game. I was trying to get to the home screen by hard pressing home button but my phone didn't respond. I tried to fix it in every way. I contacted Samsung via mySamsung app but the advice they gave me didn't work at all. Fortunately after a day, it started working again and the problem has never happened since then.
I recommend you to clear cache partition in recovery mode and then wait for a day.

Thanks I'm gonna try your advice. But I didn't install TWRP yet and didn't root either, so I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to do it.
Ok so I wiped the cache partition (with the stock recovery), let's see if it worked.

Nobody has the same problem ?

samsung S7 Freezing

Hi
I am Sure the Title of this Thread was Mentioned Quite a lot. but bare with me .
I have Tried the Search Option and Didn't find a Thread that addresses the Problem that I Have.
I have a Samsung S7 " SM-G930FD " that Keeps Freezing.
it Only Freezes when the Phone is Locked and Not Used.Never freezes while Being Used or when the Screen is On.Always Happens when the Screen is Off.
I tried to Disable the Always on Feature, Removed the SD Card, Changed the SIM card, Changed the Service Provider, Kept it Updated and even Clearing the Cash wouldn't Solve the Issue.it Just Freezes Regardless and without any noticeable Reason.Some times it is a week between Freezing and some times it freezes multiple Times a day.
only can be Recovered with a Hard restart.
I Tried to Use it on Safe mode , rest it to Factory, Soft Reset and Hard Reset.
wiped the date and Did any Suggestion that I could Find on the Internet. Sadly most of the topics only cover how to Restart your Frozen phone.and Never Found a Single Hint about what to do about this Issue.
the Device is Currently on Android 7.0 , baseband Version G930FXXu1DQIL .
I really Wish I can get any Help.
thanks a lot.

This is strange, I think battery is faulty.. or maybe there is app u r installing after reset the device that may cause this Everytime? Or you could send for warranty.
After reset the apps i installed
Netflix
Telegram
Insta
Reddit
Twitter
Hotstar
Nothing else
I see you have two SIM cards - try to remove them both or switch phone to airplane mode and see if it lags.
- is it rooted?
- is it default kernel?
- is it a beta version?
- is it global or EU?
Not rooted
Not on beta

Not a hardware issue.
You are running some application, that probably has a memory leak or an errant background process.
What did you install recently?
Nothing wrong with a reset every few days.

I've had issues similar when running various custom kernels.
Also some apps behave badly.

If you was rooted Id tell you to flash this zip.

I guess there's a issue where all CPUs fire on All cylinders and cause some instability issue usually when flashing custom ROMs tho
Just take a minute out of your busy life to reboot while brushing your teeth in the morning...WOW was that hard...problem solved.

definitely not problem, but temporary solution is not a solutioon acc to m
I reboot my phone(s) every day...actually I am now able to turn mine off every night...so....same thing.
The result??? I rarely have any problems on any of the phones I have ever owned.
Android is NOT Windows Server which can be up 24/7 365 with few issues. But Windows Server is WAY more polished than Android as it has existed far longer in the enterprise environment. So for those of you who complain about issues...and never reboot...well...............
I just formated my Oneplus 7t pro. Restarted a few times after initial configuration.
Still there's lag when opening dialer, settings, and sometimes keyboard pops up a bit late.

Bro I have the same problem like you...after os 11 update.....

Don't know what to do..??

One ui 3.1 update

I updated to one ui 3.1 using the German rom on sammobile and it is good but I'm having terrible trouble with the home screen. The inside home screen keeps taking the settings from the outside home screen and vice versa so I get a lot of squashed up icons on the cover screen and a few spaced out icons on the inner screen. Very annoying. I've tried good lock to fix it but no luck.
Is it a known problem or only bad luck? Have you tried device rom reset?

I accidentally resolved this by setting up a work profile. Everything then magically went back to normal behaviour. Hope it helps someone.

What do you mean by a work profile?? Could you please explain more?
I was actually experiencing what you described as well but I would also get the one UI home app to start crashing over and over sometimes.
I had done everything I had known to do including a factory reset. Just ended up getting a replacement phone through samsung care+ after many frustrating days.
