So I installed catlog so I could track down a reboot right after it happened and according to the log, Binder is segfaulting ... while trying to garbage collect ( or at least garbage collection got called by a malloc).

The only thing I've modified on this device that should affect such low level components is using TWRP to add root capabilties (which I assume just installs an su binary somewhere)

Not sure this is the same problem as ssconceptz but assuming the code itself isn't faulty, it could be a memory problem, after all, the Dalvik VM is the thing that's crashing. This is probably why it's a hot reboot and not a full system crash since 'only' the java process is crashing.

I ran StabilityTest v2 for 15 minutes and nothing popped up -- I'll probably have to run it for longer to find any errors.

Does anyone know of any method of testing the RAM of a phone? I'm guessing there's no port of Memtest lying around somewhere.

At this point, it might not be a bad idea to assume it's the phone and begin the RMA process. It's a pity that I'm outside the 15-day return window as I might be tempted to just return it and get a Moto X.

I need to update my original post. It happens on any carrier I've tried. I see what your saying but with sprint you don't set it to LTE you set it to Global.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssconceptz:
I tried several tests myself with no luck. I'd recommend doing what I did and go all the way back to stock and see if it occurs, it does for me and its a hot reboot as the phone comes back up fast bypassing the lock screen. Happens most often when I'm not using the device or during Google application use. Most if the time if its in my hand and it doesn't freeze there's no issue. Its very annoying though. I may root today to get a logcat before I return it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooklyn718941:
Let me start off by saying that I love and am thankful for all the hard work that developers put in to make awesome Roms. I've been rooting and flashing custom Roms since DAY 1 and enjoy it. But I've been noticing that when I flash a custom ROM its an upgrade for custom ability but a major downgrade in performance. For instance mobile data signal. Seems to get a lot slower than stock meaning OUT THE BOX. I've done comparisons in data using stock OUT THE BOX and all different custom roms and WOW what a big difference. Next is streaming videos. I noticed that OUT THE BOX I get that beautiful 1080p crispy no stutter image. Now when I root and flash a custom ROM the quality is NOT the same. Installing apps. Again OUT THE BOX stock installs apps from the play store way faster than when I'm running on a custom ROM. Sorry to say but I'm writing this using my nexus 5 that I just unrooted. I am NOT. I repeat I AM NOT TRYING TO DISCREDIT ANY Developers keep up the good work but please give me some feed back and let me know if I can help in any way to try and make these issues that I'm sure a lot of people are having. Keep up the good work developers!!!!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s33squar3d:
Disclaimer: I have no scientific evidence or tests of this at all. This is merely observations ive noticed. Could I be completely wrong? Yes. Do I think this is a deep conspiracy by devs to ruin all thats right with the world? No. Anyways...

I do notice that my wifi signal has been slightly weaker from the same places in my house. Could just be bad luck/router/etc. and its never really be debilitating or anything. I still maintain connection but it seems a solid 3-4 bar wifi connection from my bed room has always been a 1-2 bar connection on a custom ROM. Doesnt even seem to be unique to my N5, it was the same way on my One X as well.

I'm sure there is probably an easy fix, or if I really looked into it maybe I'm just going crazy and there is nothing wrong or different with my wifi. But i figured maybe someone else out there is dealing with the same situation, or at least maybe theres a big secret wifi fix that I have been oblivious to all these years lol

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT WORK XDA DEVS. I cant say that enough though, TBH. Ive used this site since I had a HTC Fuze way back in the day, then onto my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, and the work and knowledge on here is outstanding.

When you say "custom rom" do you mean "aosp based"? Because it wouldn't makes sense that this issue exists on "stock based" custom roms

Its not just this phone my s1 s2 s3 n4 s4 all seem to have issues with video streaming quality and signal after flashing a custom ROM. Test it for yourself. But you have to compare it with out the box version
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I can understand how flashing an aosp rom with perhaps no source for gpu or video drivers could have a problem with video playback. This was the case on the s3.

I can also understand how having to use OpenRIL on an aosp build could cause radio performance to suffer.

However a custom rom which is based on stock, using a stock RIL, using stock drivers should not exhibit these issues compared to stock itself. Even if it is deodexed. This has been the case on all the android devices I have rooted, flashed stock roms on or even built roms for. Including the N5 and the S3.

If you think this is happening on all the devices you own, its either something to do with your choice of rom or its something you do to all your phones that causes these issues. There's no reason why a custom rom based on stock would under perform w

compared to stock, unless you're picking something that has been incorrectly tweaked or you've incorrectly tweaked yourself

I am also seeing that difference. My phone was constantly freezing when opening apps. Also when trying to take a picture, if I move the camera too fast, it seems like the phone can't keep up and reboots itself. So I went back to stock everything and kept my boot loader unlocked. Everything seems to be working just fine now. Its weird.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
These issues would usually be related with kernel and voltage

This camera is frustrating me. I'm trying to cash a check and it's so bad I can't even deposit a check through my mobile bank of America app. Never had this problem on my gs3.

Anyone else having problems with anything like this?

I've deposited at least 5 checks that way, I don't recall ever having an issue.

Might be a problem with your phone specifically. Camera is decent enough for that.
[Moto X Q&A] phippsy84:
I deposit checks with mine no problem. Maybe the app is having issues?
[Moto X Q&A] SYNSYNACKACK:
No camera issues here, but haven't done online check deposit.

You didn't happen to mention what version of Jelly Bean you were running.

There was a camera update in 4.2.2 and Verizon has recently released 4.4 KitKat.

Perhaps check for updates if you haven't already.
[Moto X Q&A] bso44:
I had the same problem with the Chase app. The problem is that for some reason, the check gets cut off on the left side even though the whole check is in the viewfinder. I pull back a little more to make sure to get the whole check and it works fine.
[Moto X Q&A] buckley101:
Ahh yes maybe that's it. I'll have to try that thank you

The Bank of America app just doesn't work right on some phones. It's pretty crappy. Not the fault of the Moto X camera. Never works with my HTC One either. Pretty sure the app doesn't handle cameras with 16:9 aspect ratio sensors correctly.
[Moto X Q&A] don_xvi:
I still couldn't get the Chase app to take a good enough picture to deposit, but they just put a new version out that put black bars on the screen to restrict the area of the check image, and it works for me now.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
It's not the camera, it's the app. I first started having issues with the BoA app on my Note 2 after an update awhile back. I found that holding the phone about 12" above the check works best. I always have to make sure all the corners are visible, make sure there are no shadows visible, and the check has to be as flat as possible.

[Omni Q&A] p4rot:
Hi,

Today I flashed the 11/29 nightly over the 11/28 one in multirom.

I wipe cache and dalvik and flashed the ROM but when I booted up I noticed that I lost all the gapps and my titanium backup so I had to reflash them.

What's the proper way to do it without losing everything ?

BTW thanks omni team the ROM is going great, now it's fully functional on both my nexus 4 and nexus 7 2013
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
What the heck is multirom??????

PA Gapps was broken from November 10 or so until November 26. Use PA Gapps from November 7 or earlier, or November 26 and later. Anything in between won't back up correctly and will disappear when you reflash omni.

Also, what you describe is most definitely not "everything". Oversensationalizing your subject line is going to greatly demotivate people from helping you. Just because Fox News does stupid **** like that doesn't mean that you should.
[Omni Q&A] p4rot:
Ok,

im sure you know what multirom is.

Also i specified that i lost the gapps and my titanium backup if you read carefully, sorry if i wasnt clear enough.

And i was using 11/26 pagapps so thats not the problem.
[Omni Q&A] dank101:
You were clear enough, he doesn't know what multirom is, and the effects are NORMAL, omni formats the system (where GAPPS are installed), until all recoveries are STABLE with kitkat we will CONTINUE doing it
[Omni Q&A] p4rot:
OK, thanks.

So that mean that I need to reflash gapps, my titanium backup zip file and supper su each time I upgrade the nighties?
[Omni Q&A] dank101:
Not the titanium backup unless you install everything as a system app, SuperSU yes, gapps, YES
[Omni Q&A] agrajaghh:
I just updated today from 27 to 29 nightly (mako) by just installing the rom. I didn't have to flash gapps and supersu again, I got no problems...
[Omni Q&A] dank101:
You probably enabled superSU nightly script, you also prbably had GAPPS in /data
[Omni Q&A] agrajaghh:
I just flashed the "UDPDATE-SuperSU-v1.90.zip" and "pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131126-signed.zip". I didn't enable any script, but perhaps its enabled by default?
[Omni Q&A] dank101:
yeah.
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
No, I don't. Omni has no such feature, CM never had such a feature, which leads me to believe you're using some hacked-up kang that falls squarely into the "severely modified and hence unsupported" category.

Yes, but your subject line claims you lost "everything" - which you then contradicted in your post content. Just because Fox News oversensationalizes their news headlines doesn't mean you should.

Backuptool support for SuperSU used to be limited to SuperSU Pro unless you installed your own backuptool script (see my

Yes. Keep the firmwares boitloaders you have on it right now.

Then check out the Root With Motochopper and Casual+Motochopper root methods.

Next you can look in Android Development Section and use ROMs that will update you to WHATEVER ROM or firmware you want to use and NOT BE LOCKED DOWN like those that are stuck without nearly as much possibility.

There are A LOT of users here who WISH they still had the MDL original firmware so they can ACTUALLY do a lot more with their phones.

I have two S4's, one still on the mdb bootloaders and one with the mdb bootloaders and can run ANYTHING I WANT. So check it out and do it the better way and have better ROMs that what Samsung's ATT stock versions will allow

Take a look at my post above. Do NOT update and be stuck

It will depend on how new the stock at ATT is. For a Month/s after mf3 came some people were still finding the MDL firmware. So it is more than likely when you get a new phone it will have MF3 on it but then you can update to the newest right away (since mf3 is locked down pretty hard and after that locked down even further you might as well take the update.

With mf3 you have to use safestrap and only 4.2.2 touchwiz ROMs will work from my understanding. So yes it can be rooted but as I just said above.

I do not know how it works on Verizon but the link you gave showed what I think is safestrap. But I think the article is not correct as you cannot get twrp or cwm recovery installed and have to use safestraps recovery.

I guess an alternative could be to use multirom, and just keep an unrooted ROM in it, then you can just reboot into the unrooted ROM when necessary. That seems kind excessive tho lol.

Good luck, I hate that some developers Intentionality make there apps incompatible with rooted devices.

I purchased a ATT HTC One from one of my friends, it was rooted and had TWRP installed. It was also running Bigxie 4.3 GPe rom. I would like to go to the GPe 4.4 rom but the problem im having is all they ones I can find say they require S-OFF. My phone is S-ON and I have not been able to obtain S-OFF with revone or rumrunner. I tried moonshine but my phone would not boot after the fastboot process. Revone gives me an error 1 and rumrunner tells me to flash a unsecure kernal and try again. The phone is hboot 1.44. After doing a little research I found that someone pleople are saying to go back to the factory rom, the problem is im not sure if the guy backed up the factory rom before he flashed the 4.3 GPe rom. I have asked him and he can remember and blew me off... so my question is how can I find out if he backed up the factory rom, how to restore it or how to obtain S-OFF with bigxie 4.3 GPe rom.
