[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobokun:
I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue.

When listening with my headphones to music, youtube...etc.. it randomly makes weird buzzing sounds (kinda like when you connect to the internet through dialup back in the old days). This sound happens randomly for example, if I hear it in a song and i rewind it to the same position it will not happen..but it might happen somewhere else in the song.

I know this is a Kernel issue because on Stock Kernel this doesn't happen. However when I flash to any other Kernel this starts to happen. (I've tried Bricked, Franco, Faux, Linaro Kernel and they all have this sound problem. I haven't seen anyone else report on this issue which is why I'm suspecting it is a hardware issue. Anyone have any idea or input on what I can do? I really don't want to stay on stock Kernel since I've seen huge improvements on battery life using custom kernels. Thanks.

Hi Bobokun,

If its the same noise that I get (I posted on google product forum for nexus about it. Tried to put link here, but as I only just joined to answer this, it won't let me. The title of my post was "Nexus 5 has interference sounds when using headphones"), it happens on stock phone for me.

I've not got any further in bottoming out whether it is hardware or software (though not done too much digging other than the above link).

Cheers

James

This happened to me once or twice when I first tried out my headphones. However the last few times that I've used the headphones it has stopped.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamescg1972:
It happens several times during my work day, but I'm in a poor TMobile signal area in the UK and i think it is trying to keep its signal.

What about baseband? Could any of the kernels you flashed have changed the radio?

Hello, after installing official 4.2.2 update (not ROM's or something, just while on Wi-Fi in phone poppen up window about upgrading my android version) and a day later it started randomly rebooting. It doesn't matter what you are doing (playing something, keeping locked screen, or charging) it still reboots around once in 2 hours or so. I tried hard reset or just wipe the cache but that doesn't solve the problem, but after doing hard reset for a day or so there are not so many reboots (maybe coincidence, i don't know).

I tought of downgrading to 4.1.1, but i'm a bit scared of doing that since my warranty is still valid. I tried bringing phone to warranty but all they did was hard reset and that's all.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
downgrading to your country's firmware is okay

won't lose your warranty
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] karosass1:
I know about that, but what I am afraid of is bricking it while downgrading.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Nekator:
Downgrading cant hard brick your phone just soft brick. And soft bricks can be undone.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Luuk1808:

What did you do before it got stuck? And which recovery are u using? bootloader etc
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoSubstitute:
TWRP and I forgot that I shouldn't let it "fix" broken root.

I just used the basic guide on how to flash a factory image of 4.3 in smaller pieces with fastboot, skipping userdata (so I could keep mine), and then sideloaded the two KRT OTA followed by flashing SuperSU 1.75. I did all that in one go, on my second Nexus 7, before booting it the first time.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayDream:
1st Make sure you are on the latest twrp. 2nd it would be easier just to flash a stock ROM in recovery instead of flashing the factory images.. Is there a particular need for using the factory images or do u just want a working ROM?

Nope.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skttrbrain:
Short answer: no. Longer answer: there WAS an app on the Play Store that allowed this, and it did actually work, but it was extremely dodgy as it filtered the messages via a random Chinese server. So technically, I'd say it's not impossible for this to be done in a more legit way, but it can't be currently. Consider buying a secondhand 3GS exclusively for iMessages.

Using ms voice command work with bluetooth headset button on the universal makes the device almost perfect. But there just one prob that with the devices lid closed the progrm stops responding.

now who would like to spoil the screen keeping the lid open and wid universal u just dont want to take the device out of ur pocket and open the lid each time u wanna make a phone call.

I have the registry key pointing towards voicecmd.exe but when the lid is closed , upon pressing the headset button i hear the beep sound but that doesnt wakes up the device. One doesnt face the same problem using sddialer , the program wakes up the device but nt so in case of VC Solving this problem would b gr8.

Hope some1 can comeout with a solution. thanks in advance.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevron:
Just bought this phone from T-Mobile and I'm getting barely 2 bars just like my vzw s4. Doesn't matter if its LTE or not either. Could it be the phone or my apartment?

I get almost full 4g bars on my vzw s4 and this one is around 3 or 4 4g bars everywhere else but my apartment.

So frustrated as I have no home phone and need a phone that works at home.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alistairs1:
Is it better just outside your apartment? If so it could be the building construction blocking the signal (I've been in buildings like that). If its the same just outside, then you are not in a strong signal area. Having said that 2 bars should be enough signal for calls and data, I can usually make calls and get data with only 1 bar on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
My apartment building materials kill all cell signals, no one gets more than 2 bars in my apartment. I get 1 bar occasionally 2 on T-Mobile and I get 5 Mbps down perfectly usable.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Phone works perfectly fine even on 1 bar.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevron:
Verizon phone and Tmobile phone (got 14 days to return the Tmobile if it doesn't work better than VZW does). Inside the apartment, if I'm near the side of the place near a window I get 1 bar if that. I have to constantly move around in the window area to keep the signal going. Same for Verizon. I step outside and I get a max of 2 bars anywhere around the apartment building. It's more like 1 bars, sometimes 2. That's with Verizon as well. Tmobile doesn't even get 4g out here when they actually told me yea, they saw they had 4g coverage out here. Verizon is at least 4g, but with 1 bar. So Tmobile flat out lied about having 4g in my area.

I really love the Nexus 5, but if I can't use it on Tmobile because of signal issues I'm just going to cancel it and return the phone. Figured I'd do a test run with their version just to see how well it worked before shelling out the $400 for the Google Play phone.

Just walked around the apartment doing another test with both devices and I don't even have 1 bar on Verizon, or if I do it's so small you can't notice it on the signal icon. And no service at all on tmobile. Sucks because I really want to keep the Nexus 5, love the phone, but if I can't fix this no service issue I'm going to have to get rid of it.
[Sony Xperia ZR] crank9224:
Hello, I bought this phone a week ago and I'm really pleased with it, I went from a Xperia Arc to this one and the difference is impressive, it is just blazing fast and one of the reasons I bought it was because of it being waterproof, so after I bought it I tested it a few times under running water and everything went perfectly.

But the thing is that today I decided to try it in the pool, recorded some videos, everything went perfectly but after we went out the pool and I left the telephone on the table, then I noticed it had water inside the camera, or some kind of moisture, I left it facing the sun with the battery off for a while and the moisture went away, this was on both cameras and got me really worried even tho it got out.

Will this be affecting my camera? Did I got a defective cellphone? Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
I think yes, also, check the litmus paper on the flap covers (in the sides), if it changed color then the water breaked through it, if not, check the litmus paper on the back(lower part of battery holder), and if still no color change, you really have a defective device which I think you should replace for warranty)
[Sony Xperia ZR] shteren:
Can someone upload a picture of these litmus papers? Haven't seen Em in my phone...

No, these litmus paper indicators are only in Xperia Z. ZR does not have them. At least mine doesn't.

The following is Cut & Pasted from the Xperia ZR Test documents,

(Posted in "Sony Xperia ZR Service Documents (Mechanical)" Thread)

Have to say I can't see them on my ZR either (Haven't looked under the battery) .....

The Water Indicator is located as shown in these pictures.

1. The first is located in the Battery cavity (remove the Cover Battery and the Battery),

2. second one just inside the USB cap above the USB connector.

3. the third one is visible underneath the audio jack after the audio cap has been opened up.

All three can be observed without any major disassembly of the unit.

If affected (red color) - handle the phone according to the local directives.

If not affected by liquid, proceed to the ‘Pre-Test Preparation’ below.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] panamaniac:
Hi all,

My rooted (but otherwise stock) Optimus G was VERY low battery, I plugged it into a car charger and it looked like it was charging for a minute, unplugged it to try booting it and it booted halfway then died. Then it wouldn't charge (tried multiple chargers in different contexts). Had to send it back under warranty, they flashed my phone and said it was "software related" and sent it back.

It should be working once I get it back. But my question is:

HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE?

And my advice is: rooted or not, I'm guessing that having it die halfway through a bootup might have been the culprit here. So the lesson—I think—is not to let it deep discharge and, if you do, to charge it for 5-1o good minutes before booting it back up.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ThatKawaiiGuy:
Unheard of for me, seems kinda freaky actually.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Maestertk:
Generally a battery pull will fix that. It's kinda a pain in the bum, but it fixed it for me! Amazing what a hardware reset can do lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drancid:
This happened to me too.

I think it is kernel related issue. It happened to me when I was using LG based rom and kernel. I just flashed CM kernel thru twrp (I could boot into twrp luckily and I had CM kernel in my phone) and it charges like normal.

Don't let your battery go down to 0 when you are on LG based rom and kernel!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] panamaniac:
Wasn't able to do battery pull b/c it would void the warranty (this is not a consumer-replaceable battery).

Wasn't able to access it via computer either, so that was no good. Sounds like there's some agreement—let LG phones hit 0% at your own risk!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] wally1147:
I have had this happen a few times. Most of the time I've left it plugged in undisturbed for twenty minutes to an hour and it will boot. Try that first.

Once it wouldn't boot no matter what I tried but I could get into twrp and download mode so I used LGNPST and took it back to complete stock. This was obviously last resort but worked. Hope this helps. Good luck

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fverswijver:
Hello,

I just got the OTA message for 4.4 and tried to install it but I got a bootloop. After clearing the cache and performing a factory reset in TWRP (which got installed through Nexus Toolkit) it still didn't work. Someone told me to perform a complete format through TWRP which I did (hindsight, I know) and now TWRP says I have no OS installed, adb won't see my device (I have the drivers installed) and when I go into the bootloader (which says FASTBOOT MODE) fastboot still won't recognize the device (nothing shows up on my PC either but that can be normal).

I'm at my wit's end here, is there anyone who can help me?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
You need to realize that if you want to install OTA, you need to use stock recovery. Even though it is possible to flash through TWRP, it can still run into problems. Especially when you made root modifications to your device.

You don't have to do a full wipe for everything. There is a method to flash factory firmware without wiping data (link in my signature). After that if it still don't boot due to existing data, boot into a custom recovery and do a factory reset without wiping the internal storage.

But since you have custom recovery already, just go into the Development section, find a stock KitKat rom, download it and sideload it using TWRP (which is enabled it in the Advance menu).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fverswijver:
Yes I've tried that but I don't know how to sideload it. adb doesn't see my device, fastboot doesn't either and windows doesn't recognize the device (although I have the adb naked drivers installed).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
If it is connected adb should see your device while in TWRP. Fastboot only work in fastboot mode (bootloader screen), not in recoveries. If you have the UND installed then they both should work, if not it wasn't installed correctly. If you are using Windows 8 you need to disable driver signature before you can install UND (search google for that).

You could also make a bootable Ubuntu flashdrive, and use the ADB/Fastboot for Ubuntu link in my signature to install them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fverswijver:
I tried both. ADB devices gives me an empty line and fastboot devices (when in bootloader screen) gives me nothing at all. I've tested 2 different computers (both windows 7 x64) and it still won't detect it. When in TWRP windows tries to detect my device but it says "Unknown Device" and gives the yellow triangle.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
You might have to point the drivers to your phone. If you go into device manager, see if your Nexus 4 has an error. If it does, right click it, and then update the driver. Do a manual install, and point it to the .ini file for the driver

Is file transfering working atleast? If it is, then it's a software problem. If it isn't, then it could be a hardware problem, you can try replacing the USB charging board for the phone. Also some roms with corrupt files can cause this issues, so try a different roms if you haven't.
