Nexus 5 Screen Freeze

Was at about 30% battery and the screen froze as in it wouldn't take any touch events. The backlight would react as if the screen wasn't touched. It seems like the touch events just were not registering but the phone worked in the background. Kernel issue maybe? I have been using faux.

Something similar ....
I had a similar experience on the 15th .... took my N5 off the Qi charger and the screen froze when i tried to unlock it.
I hit the power button and was able to unlock and get a few touches in before it froze again.
I was finally able (after much screen off/on cycles) to get down to the developer options and turn on show touches & show cpu usage.
... background processes looked fairly normal when the screen was frozen(touches showed as frozen) ...
I was rooted, stock rom except for xda user Jishnu Sur's N5 camera mod and running a couple tried & true root apps(Stickmount & QuickBoot). Thought some software issue might be jamming up the digitizer i/o causing it to freeze.
Reverted entirely to stock (the Team Win recovery was also experiencing screen freeze - buttons worked fine) including removing TRWP and re-locking the boot loader!!
The screen freezing problem persists ... my conclusion is that it's a hardware issue. :crying:
It's possible you are seeing the same thing, but I haven't seen anything in the forums to indicate it's a widespread problem.
Returning it for a replacement phone ... :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
same problem here from France.
I already returned a Nexus 5, after multiple freeze I tried to format data partition via bootloader, (no rooted phone, following google instructions for stock reset) then the phone crash wile formatting, it never wake up gain.
When I get a new one from google after one or two week same problem appears, and it's append more and more often, since monday my phone crash one time more every night, and all the day today.
A this time I'm still trying to load it sine I came back from work seven hour ago, battery still at 49%.
I think it's and hardware issue too.
I'm very disappointed about Google and I'll never by anymore LG products.
Thanks for reading.

Freezes tend to happen on custom kernels specially if you under-volt it too much. have you done that?

Last week I had the same problem with my new NEXUS 5. IT’S TOTALLY A HARDWARE ISSUE.
LG products are however not so bad in the JAPAN market but still we are expecting a lot from LG technology.

LG services suck.
I am facing the same problem with my Nexus 5. Unrooted, bought 7 months back from India itself, was working fine till around two weeks back,when the lags, screen freeze, blacking out n all appeared. Got it repaired twice at the LG centre. They changed the front display touchpad as well as the charging connector strip. The problem still persists.

[Q]half screen flickering with grey,and keeps getting worse

since a few days,on my screen kept coming a light ,gray flickering on the down half of the screen that lasted just a few seconds,and then disappeared.
then,yesterday even the upper side of the screen got affected.
Since I noticed some improvements through unlocking and locking the screen,I thought it was a software problem (I have trickdroid 6.0 installed,so I reflashed the rom)
after full wipe and rom reflashing,the problem was still there,it keeps coming out after a couple of hours,but it was still present.
today I did a factory reset from the bootloader(deleting everything)and reflashed the rom.still there.
anyone got the solution???would help a lot,thanks!!!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Well, the only thing that comes into my mind is to full wipe, download a different rom, flash it's own kernel and try it...
If it's still there, I am afraid it's a hardware problem.

since the problem keept being there,I sent it to htc...the motherboard was faulty so they replaced it

Strange Battery Issue after Screen & Digitizer Replacement

Hello great people of XDA,
About one month ago, my digitizer cracked, and I ordered a new screen & digitizer combo from ebay.
Two days ago the replacement arrived and the whole process went smoothly! Everything was working fine, except one thing. The Battery Percentage went crazy. It shows the remainder percentage in thousands.
eg. 3603 % and it always appear full! As soon as i put the phone to charge it appears as "Charged" but thankfully, the battery does indeed charge.
Check the screenshots in the attachments below.
The last screenshot (from the app Battery Stats Plus) says "Charging" but the phone is unplugged. Actually it's pretty obvious that all readings all wrong!
A friend of mine has also a Nexus 5, I tried replacing my battery with his, but the problem remains. Even with a different battery, the readings and percentage are wrong!
It's pretty frustrating. I tried solving one issue, then another came along. Do you have ANY ideas? Oh and one more thing. The "Battery" option from Settings is nowhere to be found!! I have to tap in the battery icon in notification drop-down to enter Battery settings.
Thank you in advance for your time!

Are you running a custom kernel on a stock ROM?

Hey audit13. Thank you for your reply.
I'm running Stock rooted ROM 6.0.1 (MMB29V) & stock kernel

Hmm, weird that a screen change would cause this. Try the following: (1) clear cache from recovery mode; (2) clear data from recovery mode (this will wipe your data, apps, etc.); or (3) flash a stock ROM without flashing the userdata.img partition or erasing data.

I'm afraid that a factory reset/re-flash rom has crossed my mind, but it's something that I do not have time to do right now. I'm pretty sure that it's a software-related issue. Not a hardware one.
I was purely asking for something quick.
Thank you for your suggestion though (and of course your time) If anything else pops in your mind, i'm eager to hear it.

I also think it is software related which is why I suggested flashing a stock rom. If it was hardware related,flashing would not fix the issue.

It only takes like 60 seconds to flash a stock rom and ten more to log into your google account once its booted and everything it restored for you pretty much. Its the easiest way to fix software issues for the most part.

OPO became unusably slow overnight. Best lightweight ROM to go easy on flash memory?

HI all!
I have an OnePlus One. A month ago it became unusably slow, where all animations took the phone 5-10 seconds to go through. Sounds and haptic feedback are immediate (pressing a button/typing), but the screen seems to lag behind.
One interesting example comes when rebooting the phone. The Android marshmallow bootlogo (CM13) takes at least 20 seconds to finish, but I can actually swipe up on the screen while the marshmallow logo is still on there and hear the screen unlock sound.
I have tried many different ROMs (SlimSaber, OxygenOS, CM13/12), deleting data, cache, dalvik and doing many, many factory resets. Nothing seems to help at all.
Anything that can be done to fix this little bugger? Setting the three animation settings to 0x seemed to help a little bit, but not all that much. Is there a completely animationless rom out there?

Did you already tried to format your whole phone so also SD card / system/cache/ etc just make it completely clean and connect your phone to your PC while in recovery paste darkobas rom (or other rom ofcourse) on your sd-card and gapps flash it and start really clean.
Just my 2 cents

check ur phone hardware for damage as u had changed everything multiple time and still no profit which means problem is not on surface maybe its deep and i am irrational that any change of rom would help , that said maybe try to flash good firmware through fast boot ,take help from cc or more persons . i may be wrong but i had concluded this - it seems that the connection between gpu or cpu with os is kinda broken which doesn't make sense as u had changed it multiple times but still feels like it.

I have formatted everything and I believe I have removed everything useless from the memory. I have also flashed multiple roms and the issue is still there

Does the problem also occure when you have 0 extra apps installed so just rom and gapps?
It sounds like some background proces

Have you tried flashing the stock rom via fastboot? If that doesn't solve your problem, it might be hardware related. You can find the latest fastboot update here: link
Keep in mind that if you want the latest cos13, you'll have to update your device via the ota. This method will also completely erase your device, including /sdcard

If there is no background processes, try to install Cynogen OS 12.0.
If the phone have the same issue, then it is hardware.

Problem is there even after many completely fresh ROM installs (formatted all data from memory)
What are the files that re absolutely necessary for the phone to operate? Could there be some hidden junk in the internal memory Im not seeing?

yeah, NAND trimming is important. But not for a fresh install

The best solution in my opionion is to restore the stock ROM [COS 12.1 / 12.0]
Follow the steps in this thread
NOTE that your data will be deleted.

I had a similar problem on my lg g2. Some things to look out for before taking my advice:
-Is the animation/screen the only thing that's slow, but the background processes normal? (Like, if you type a bunch of letters, it registers all of them but the animation is slow).
-Prior to the problem, did you drop/bend your device, expose it to water, or take it apart?
If both (or one) of the top pertains to you, it's most likely a hardware issue. My g2 had the same problem, and it turned out to be a faulty flex cable that attached the screen output to the motherboard (I accidentally pulled too hard on it). Seeing how the OPO screen has a long black cable, that could possibly be the problem. If all else fails, and you have a bit of money to spend, get a replacement screen.

Thanks for the suggestions!! You are spot on with everything, the screen got cracked a while back and I bought a new screen for it. It was a bit dodgy and didn't fit well in the casing, so maybe a cable got pulled out lately?
On the background process thing; the typing thing is exactly as you described it. When writing my long WiFi password for example, I tap in all of the 18 characters and numbers of the password in 5 seconds, and then the screen spends the next 20 seconds doing the animation/typing in the characters, whilst I am not touching the screen. Does this mean the cables theory is solid? Or is it another hardware issue?
Stellar suggestions, I will probably spend an hour or two picking at the phone today, updates coming later

My OPO has never been slow on any ROMs. You can try to format your phone...

No result after removing and reconnecting display cables Formatted everything and installed a fresh ROM right after as well, no improvement.
Thanks however! Still open for business/suggestions

Some roms trim by themself, others do not. It really difficult to tell which does and which not. U can test it if fstrim takes long time to run then your system usually didn't got trimmed anytime before.
Get Trimmer (fstrim) from Play Store. Its not necessary to trim system at all. Set your focus on partitions who have large amount of write processes like data or even cache.

In my opinion, I still think it is a hardware error. Since you described some difficulty in replacing the screen, the cables might have been damaged, either during replacement or after. I suggest you buy a new screen, preferably one that comes already glued on to a frame.

Bootloops

My Pixel 3 randomly restarts and gets stuck in long bootloops. The frequency is completely random, ranging from three times a day (rarely) to once a week or two (more common). There is no trigger, sometimes I have it in my hand, doing stuff, and it does that, sometimes it does it when it's sleeping.
The bootloop is always the same.
I see the bootloader message, then th Google logo, and the phone restars after about one second. I never counted to loops but sometimes it must be tens of them. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop them, or at least I am not awaer of any key combinations.
I presume the phone eventually boots into safe mode or something.
I've had it for several months, bought it used in good condition off Ebay, and other than this I never noticed anything off.
This is extremely frustrating and I have no idea what to do.
Does anyone have any idea?

I really hope it never been inside water. Try updating your OS, or change to Custom ROM. If it still occurs, then that's a big problem.

It's most probably an app that's causing this, try disabling/uninstalling some apps that you don't need.
Booting into safe mode is also an option, that way you can make sure if an app is actually causing this.

I factory reset and later on completely reflashed the phone at one point in not too distant past and it didn't help one bit.
It's also completely untroubleshootable given how randomly the problem occurs, which also makes me sceptical about an app doing this
I'm inclined to think it could be a hardware problem.

It's highly unlikely for it to be hardware problem, unless you have water/dust/humid damage.
Or maybe your phone heats really fast and therefore some pin inside the motherboard gets shortened due to the heat. But what are the chances of this happening?
But just to be sure, what happens when you connect your device to a charger with output more than 2 amp?
Did you modify your device in anyway whatsoever? Anything the previous owner noted about the device?

I didn't nodify it at all.
This is the charger I use https://www.alzashop.com/vention-dual-quick-30-usb-a-wall-charger-18w-18w-white-d6323711.htm

Yeah, just flash some different ROM on your device and we're good.
Make sure you backup everything through TWRP and that you're flashing your device specific ROM.

As a test you mean? I am used to the stock ROM and last time I checked, there was no stable Android 11 (I think) ROM I would use.

Was the last time you checked a year ago?? A11 has been out for a good while now. Here: Stock A11 ROM (Blueline).
And not as a test, no, flash it and keep using it. You can also flash custom ROM if that's your thing.

But I said I flashed the stock ROM before with no luck. You're suggesting I do the same again. That makes very little sense.

What about the Google camera and LOS btw?
