[Q] Has anyone else had the touch screen stop working after the new update (UK)

My TF has done this three times now since yesterday's FOTA. The device hasn't crashed as I can still use ADB and the notification bar relects the true battery status, time etc. I can also turn the screen on and off with the power button but I can't unlock it due to the screen not accepting touch input.
This happens regardless if use a custom rom or not.
Has anyone else had this experience?

My device had this issue, but with the 3/25(?) firmware (it came from overseas -- Taiwan). I basically thought I had a brick, but yesterday I used not-quite-pristine US system.img via a nandroid backup, and it brought it back to life. Still working, 18 hours later (and with the latest OTA update).
If you still have cwm / nandroid access, PM me and I'll post up the system.img that I used to fix my issue, yesterday. It was basically an image I found on Android Central, and I yaff2'd it and added my own md5sum so that nandroid could recognize it. My ongoing concern is that the permissions could be all screwy and softlinks could be broken. But, given the choice of that versus a bricked tablet, I could live with broken softlinks.

mine has done it 3 time while playing fruit ninja but only while playing that and not whit normal use as browsing and all that

Same here. Touchscreen stopped responding while playing that game, but that happened even before the OTA.

How can you get it to start responding again or force a reboot? I just got mine in the mail, pushed the lock button, and now it won't respond to any of my touches. Stuck at the lock screen.

Hold the power button for 10-12 seconds to force power it off. Release button. Wait a couple seconds. Power on as normal (a 5-6 second hold down of the power button). If still no joy... you're screwed perhaps.

ok thanks a lot holding the power button down for a long time did force it to turn off, now it's working again.

[PROBLEM] Not able to hold screen for more than 3-5 seconds

I cannot hold the screen for more than 3-5 seconds.
Tested a couple of times, and even after multiple restarts. Previously a restart used to fix it, but now it isn't.
Phone specs
DDKP3
BCK Kernel
How i tested?
1. Hold any widget/shortcut on homescreen, and it automatically gets back at its original position after 3-5 seconds.
2. Pulled down thw notification bar halfway through the screen, and held it there, it stays there for 3-5 seconds and after that goes down to the end of the screen.
3. While playing any game, say Racing Moto, you have to peess any where on the screen and hold, to make the biker accelerate, the biker stops accelerating after 3-5 seconds.
Anyone facing such issues?

[Q] Bootloot and power problem - Nexus 5

EDIT: PROBLEM FIXED, changed the power button at a mobile producer. Thanks for the help
Hi XDA's!
My nexus 5 is in bootloop, with endless on and offs. Whenever the phone was on it tries to open up the "turn off-menu" and spams that command over and over again till it just turns off. And then granted there is power in it it turns back on, and during the boot just kills off again and restarts (the fact that it starts itself over again without any input from me is confusing to understand). Im guilty of installing Cryogenmod, and now something is wrong with the installation (even though i installed like 6 months ago, just randomly occured when i popped it in the power socket, without any like installation of any patches).
At the moment it only shows the google popup, and soon after starts to load the cryogen, but thats usually where its killed off, much like when im in the process of going to bootloader to factory reset (there isnt enough time). I did get a signal about the system (android) had temporarly stopped working when i one time managed to come through the loop, but not anymore. The lack of bootloader optionality makes it a lot harder, and thats why id love descriptive guides!
thanks for helping me unbrick my phone! Kitten for those who read the whole post ,

It sounds like it could be a stuck power button but your description is a little confusing to me. Try mashing the power button a number of times to see if you can get it to unstick. If you have a case on, take it off.

No case, no stuck power button from what i perceive/feel. Still i tried to see if it was stuck, but i wouldnt be so sure of it-. The fact that i did get a crash about the operating system when the problems culminated steered me towards believing it is a software problem, but that wouldnt describe the automatic turn on whenever i supply it with power? Your suggestion makes most sense tbh.
The problem is that it automatic goes on whenever it has power, and crashes 5 seconds later, just to resume the pattern, Im NOT turning it on by myself, it does it itself, meaning there most be some problem with the power button?

Black screen & no recovery!!!!

Hi all !!! Sorry for my English but I need your help
I commented what is happening with my phone N5 (which for good and evil is always stock without root or anything, with corresponding OTA updates.)
1- Yesterday afternoon at lunchtime while reading a book in playbooks, I notice that suddenly disappears one line and then appeared intermittently. I close the app and noticed the same thing happening on the screen menu. I shut down the cell and turn on again and I thought it must be an application be kidding. But still does.
2 Also yesterday I happened to change the security on the phone screen. After a while of normal operation, try to turn it on the screen with the button, nothing, the screen goes "black", with light and retrolight turned on but no picture no nothing .
Called the cell to see if it works or is turned off and the phone rings but the screen nothing. Try turning it off and on again by holding the on / off / lock button and the phone restarts, but the screen nothing. In one such attempt to do the above it is seen that managed to turn it off. And I get it on and do a normal boot, except that the picture of my screen is changed to the original. Change the lock screen which was previously using (slip). And it seemed that out or some conflict with the lock. In one of those again pressed the ON / OFF / lock as would normally and it starts all over again.
After I magically back to life, I want to make a full wipe as I think it should be an app that is doing some conflict or something. BUT ....
3I turn off the phone and then press the keys VOLUME UP / DOWN and ON / OFF is normally off, squeezed the first screen with the options but options RECOVERY / BOOTLOADER appears in red I choose RECOVERY give the ok with the key and .... andriod robot appears with the legend below that says something (I do not remember well) without or without controls options appears. So its seems thatI dont have recovery.
After that keep pressing the key ON / OFF and the phone turns off and / or reboot normally. All this I did it again to see if the error reappears and looks that I do not have recovery.
The failure of the screen is increasing. I dont know if they are separate problems or is it all the same problem.
Sorry if I was too long but I need the help of you.
UPDATE Now it seems that the screen died, since I do not achieve to turn it on as before, the light and the retrolight its ok. The phone receives calls and notifications but the screen stills black.
Thanks all.

sometimes things just "derp". itll happen more often if you dont reboot your phone often. also, your phone will be a little bit more responsive if it gets reboot once a day or two.

RMA or fastboot it back to stock, if the screen doesnt turn on afterwards then it looks like a hardware issue, open device and reconnect the display.

I think too that its a hardware issue. I already see on you tube problems like mine.
Thanks again!!

Nexus 5 Keeps restarting

Hey guys,
I've found others complaining about the same issues but no resolutions. My phone constantly restarts itself after updating to 5.0
Attached is a video of my phone constantly looping: never mind I can't attach the link because i'm a new user. If you search nexus 5 keeps restarting on youtube you'll see it
Someone posted a trick where if you constantly tap the power button it'll turn on. It works for me, but it only delays the restarts, as soon I stop it turns off. I seriously need some help this is getting out of control. I've tried booting it in safe mode and no luck either, it still restarts itself. I've restored the phone as well, no luck. Hoping for a magic trick or something.

How did you solve this problem ? i have the same problem.

Sounds like the power button is stuck. It is not a software issue.
I had the exact problem yesterday. I fixed it by pressing the power button a bit harder than normal (you may have to disassemble the device as I did), and the button works normally again.
