[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubtown:
Hey,

same here. I gave mine to a trusted local repair shop, they tried everything. Nothing fixed the problem completely.

I shares my story over at reddit. Which I can't link to, because I am a noob. Sooo:

########

Hey fellow Nexus 5 friends, I have owned my Nexus 5 for almost three years now. It is still fast and remains the perfect size. Even after the microusb-port smelted half a year ago, everything was perfectly fine, because of QI charging.

Sadly the last weeks I noticed, that my phone would suddenly turn off, which ended up in a bootloop, where it displays the "Google"-sign, turn off and repeat. I read a lot of articles regarding this problem and finally handed over my phone to a trusted repairshop in my city. Now they replaced the button two times, because they wanted to rule out possibility of a bad batch of buttons. Both times the problem appears less, the phone works for a few minutes, but in the end the malfunctions become more frequent till it reaches the bootloop status again.

Well, because of the temporary improvement I was able to save all of my data from the phone. But what to do now? They are still testing and even replacing the usb jack as it seems, everything free of charge till they find a solution. But my faith is fading. I read somewhere, that deleting the cache or even going back to the factory setting helped

and I willing to try, because I have all my data, but why would it work. It seems to be a hardware issue ... Also I fear that during the deletion or reset the phone shuts down on its own bricking the phone for good.

Does anyone have further suggestions. I want my phone back. Yes the 5x is sexy and not very expensive. But I hoped my Nexus5 would last me till the 2016 Nexus.

Thank you very much for your help nubtwo

EDIT:

My local repair shop called me now and said, that they give up. They tried two spare buttons for the Nexus 5, one button of a S4 and even replaced the broken usb port. Nothing, only an improvement for a few minutes,

ending always in the loop.

I will think about trying a different shop, but their work seemed very professional. Only my tears can fix it now.

########

The repair over at LG will be to pricy. Its seems to be officially over with my Nexus of 3 years.

Maybe I will bake it? Does anyone have a duration and heat suggestion?

This was happening to my fiance's phone. I replaced the battery and it hasn't happened since.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubtown:
You fixed the bootloop problem by replacing the battery???
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgry:
It worked for her phone. It kept randomly rebooting. And then it would just get stuck booting to the Google logo. Looked everywhere for a solution and tried everything. Finally tried the battery and sure enough it worked. It was a cheap risk.

My phone had the power button issue and I smacked it against a table and that worked.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueskin1:
Guys...

I did the flipping trick and my phone started working... for 2-3 seconds.

I can reach the starting page but after 2-3 it restarts again... I have no time to change anything in setting etc

Any ideas? Thank you

Also.. I removed the battery and some other stuff but then i put them back... Is the warranty still applys?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skylex95:
Thanks, the flipping tricks works for me but sometimes my nexus reboot and i need to flip again.

So i think if i can unlock my screen by another method or button without use the power button it would be good.

Anyone knows how change that ?

Thanks a lot !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow_hunter104:
This can also happen because of the loose power button. Shake it near your ear to see if the power button is loose.

I had the same problem. So I disassembled the phone and cleaned the power button. Use a degreaser spray if you have one. Get all the dirt stuck in there. And don't hit the side of your phone like some people say you to do. It will just damage the phone further more.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skylex95:
I will clean the power button to know if it's the same problem.

But i always search how unlock my screen by another method or button without use the power button. Any ideas ? Thanks guys
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santi1993:
Power button ****, sorry mate

I only use Xposed Framework and GravityBox. Volume buttons to wake the screen and double tap on the menu button to sleep :cool:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanGT:
Flick it!

My gf had the same phone with the same problem. Flicked the power button and the case area near it a few times, problem solved.

Stuck power button. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackuse:
flicking/tapping worked

my fingers started hurting, took a pen drive and started flicking with it, phone's working again now
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymeatb18:
i had this happen but wouldnt stop, so i removed the power button from the board. after doing so i no longer have any cell signal. could i have messed something up?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deelbas:
Problem started happening to me recently. Tried all possible solutions people suggested in this thread but nothing worked.

Eventually decided to replace the power button (nothing to lose anymore, already got a new phone) but after replacing it, which was a horrible job to do, it still does the rebooting when on the charger. I got mad and removed the whole button altogether and the phone kept rebooting. Totally out of ideas now, is it software related?

Wait how can you buy an nexus 5 from dubai it is impossible to even find the parts or even the phone in UAE (Dubai) i live in dubai and i am an indian ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
Hey guys.

Wanted to ask you guy what you think is the best way to install twrp recovery on our nexus 5. Or if you think cwm is best.

Thanks for your attention.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Flash the image file in fastboot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
But why prefer that method over the apk?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Because you don't need the app and I've seen people brick their device using it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
OK. I remember running the app and it asked for busybox, should I install it first?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
He said don't use the app
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
1. Download TWRP latest image which is 2.7.1.1 right now.

2. Place in same directory as fastboot

3. Fastboot Flash recovery nameoffile.IMG

For further references and download, here's a link to TWRP.

teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you install fastboot correctly you don't need to put recovery in same directory. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Haha yeah I don't have my Linux rig running well so I downloaded the SDK yesterday on Windows and had to settle for a half-install haha. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I like the 15 second installer for windows. Pretty good. Does all the environment variables for you too. Can get to it via my signature. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
I tried the app before he said that. Just wanted to check it out. xD I didn't install any thing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
The only thing I'm not getting is where I have to put the file in my computer.

I installed adb with that 15 sec installer.

Can you help a noob out? XD
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Boot into the bootloader and then from a command window use

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where recovery.img is the name of your twrp recovery image
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
So,

Boot in fastboot;

Connect to PC;

Do the command line thing. From what folder of the PC do I do this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Put the recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then open a command window in that folder
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
I made it!

Thanks for your help.

Turns out I didn't need it to put it in that folder since I installed adb and fastboot with the 15 sec. program and it added it to my PATH.

Thanks again for your help guys.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
He doesn't need to do that. Only people who didn't install fastboot correctly need to do that. He used the installer so the variables are present. He doesn't need to cd to the directory fastboot is in OR put anything he wants to flash in that directory.

OP please click the link in my signature and read from there my adb and fastboot info thread
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
Right.

The only thing I did was: in the folder where I had the .img I shift+right click and clicked open command line here, from here I just imputed the text on the cmd.

Did I needed to do that or is it not needed for me?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Probably not needed. But did it work?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
Yeah it's working great.

Thanks for all your help :thumbup:

I have a new Vario II which has a strange problem with the car charger. It will only charge if it is in standby. As soon as you turn it on it stops charging. It works fine with the mains charger and the USB lead. Anyone help please.

Peter
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] luminus:
Is it an original charger for the vario II ? because like the TyTN it needs a 12v/ 1A charger.

I had a general charger with 12v/500mA and it didn't charge when the device was on. My brodit carholder and charger deliver 12v/1A and has no problems with charging.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] peepsw:
No it is not an original charger, I will try and get one to check. Thanks for the reply.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
I am connecting my HTC One on Android Revolution to computer, to transfer media files (music, in this case) to my phone.

Now there is a problem, whenever i send an album, or more than one songs, it gets stuck after after song. Since january to two days ago, I had a Note 3. It also had the same problem, and the problem started between these months somewhere, but i cannot even vaguely pinpoint.

If anyone has *any* solution to it, i would be very thankful.

I should also mention, I tried transferring via HTC Sync Manager, and it works pretty good. It transfers all music. But I have no way of finding out whether it is transfering to phone memory, or my 64 GB SD Card. can anyone tell me where does it send music to? and if it sends to phone storage, is there a way to direct it towards SD card?

If only I can find a way to use HTC Sync Manager with SD Card, I'm 100% satisfied. I would not even worry about not being able to transfer batch music.

Thanks for your help :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Place the entire folder in question, for example "Music" in the adb/fastboot folder, then type.

adb push Music /sdcard2/Music/ or

adb push Music /storage/ext_sd/Music/

Edited: Confirmed by testing on my device, need to put in folder name into destination else it just copies the content of the folder into the "root" directory of internal/external SD Card.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murrda:
HTC Sync Manager does work... When you connect to your PC and HTC Sync Manager opens click the option on Sync on your PC that says files. From there you can choose either internal or external (SD card) and then from there its just drag and drop, that's it... It will even show you a progress bar with in Sync stating its transferring. When done that progress bar will dissapear. If using any non-sense based ROMs (AOSP) and you are using a Mac download Android File Transfer and it will open a screen up where you can choose either internal or external and same deal just drag and drop..

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Shouldn't it just be "adb push Music /sdcard/" or "adb push Music /ext_sdcard/" since that is the primary directory you want to push to? That method seems like it would push the Music folder in to the already existing Music folder on either internal or external so it would then be /sdcard/Music/Music/ or /ext_sdcard/Music/Music/ ..... I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what the outcome would be..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
You could be right, it makes sense. I just thought that if you put in adb push Music /sdcard/ (For example) it just pushes/copies the contents of the folder "Music" on to the sdcard there by giving you let's say all 200 songs in the root directory of the /sdcard/, where as if you indicated to copy it to /sdcard/Music/ it makes the folder Music and then copies all the contents from the Music folder on the computer into Music folder on the device.

I'll try it out when I get home in a couple of hours, I've just pushed individual files, figured that a folder would be like that. I'll delete my comment/suggestion until I tested it myself then.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Ok I confirmed it, you need to type the folder name in the destination as well, else it just copies the file from the folder into root directory like I said.

I attached a picture with it. I started off with adb shell, changed directory to /sdcard2 and listed the contents in the folder.

Next I pushed the folder "test" to just /sdcard2/ and went back into adb shell and listed again. There you can see it only shows the file that was pushed "01 - 9Fedc1.jpg" but not the folder "test".

So I went out again and pushed test to /sdcard2/test/ and listed the files again in adb shell, there you can see it pushed the folder "test" at the bottom.

So you need to put the folder name in there as well... adb push <folder> /sdcard(or sdcard2)/<folder> to copy the entire folder including its contents, in this case the music.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaibhavbhatter:
Ok so the thing is as Jamal said I too am facing this problem where not more than one song at a time gets synced from wmp or transferred via Bluetooth. The added bonus is that HTC Sync Manager is not even recognizing the phone when plugged in. If anyone has any solution it would be greatly appreciated. ☺️
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You're on a build of ARHD from July 2014? Saying "I have the same problem" is rarely the case. Too many variables and details between one user and another, for the problem to ever be exactly the same. Especially when responding to a thread that is 2 years old.

Try going into Windows Device Manager, find the phone, and pick the option to manually select drivers. Pick the generic Android MTP drivers, and see if that helps your file transfer problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaibhavbhatter:
By saying I have the same problem I meant that the files are just transferring one at a time max and multiple files aren't getting synced from the explorer, wmp and even HTC sync manager isn't recognizing the phone. The problem began with the Marshmallow update in March and has been lingering for a while. I've even resetted my phone but to no avail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] R.Suave:
Currently, im rooted and running a custom rom and recovery on my ATT S4 with MDL. I'd like to return to stock rooted with the option to flash custom roms in the future. I know there have been a lot of changes recently with the various versions so I would also like to update to the safest and latest firmware possible(still be able to flash custom recovery and rom if I wanted to in the future).

So... What would be the best method to go about returning to an updated stock rooted state with the ability to flash roms and recoveries in the future?

I've been searching all morning but can't find much info on working with MDL. Can anyone point me in the direction or offer any assistance?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Go to sammobile.com for the mdl firmware. You'll download a zip, extract the .tar.md5 file from it and flash that in Odin. After you do that the phone will want to update to the newest firmware so look for the files to delete or flash a custom rom. It'll also wrote the device so backup first
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] R.Suave:
Great. Thanks a bunch but I will no longer be rooted after flashing stock through ODIN correct? Should I use CASUAL from there to regain root and a custom recovery? Also, how would I update to a newer firmware after that? One that is "safe" or least problematic?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You will lose root. CASUAL will still work and you'll still be able to use twrp or cwm. For newer firmware you're going to want to flash a custom rom based 4.4.4. You don't want to update your firmware as you won't be able to use twrp or cwm any more
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] R.Suave:
Perfect. Just the info I was looking for. Thanks! :good:
[Moto X Q&A] HaiMyNamesTrent:
So i've had my moto x since october, and just recently got to use a rooted phone and i really want to root my moto x, im on AT&T and i know i cant unlock the bootloader, if i unlock it so i can use any sim card on it, could i root it then? Thank you to anyone that helps
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Nope. Not full, real root. Doesn't matter what you do to the phone, if you're on the 4.4.2 or higher bootloader, you can not get write protection disabled. Root yes, with towel root and/or PIE (see dev sections for those)...but wrote protection will be enabled. So changes won't survive a power reset. And you can't write to the system.

And you can't safely downgrade from 4.4.2 or higher either.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
SIM unlocking allows you to use the SIM from another carrier in your phone.. i.e. use a T-Mobile sim in an ATT branded X. That process does require you to have a different carrier's sim so the phone will prompt you to enter the unlock code. SIM unlock codes are available from many places around the web. It has no impact on rooting.

Bootloader unlocking allows you to flash a custom recovery, 3rd party roms, etc. By virtue of being able to flash a custom recovery you can easily root your phone. There are only two places you can get a bootloader unlock code for the X... Either Motorola's web site (for many, but not ALL carriers) or the Chinese Website or Middleman (only way if Moto doesn't supply)

As [MENTION=4036181]KJ[/MENTION] has said, with a locked bootloader and 4.4.2 on your phone, you are limited. PIE to root, but can't disable write protection.

and dispite any thread you might see about downgrading to gain root and disable write protection.. DO NOT!!! you will risk bricking your phone if you have 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 on your phone and attempt to downgrade.

[Moto X Q&A] 3V0_MR:
Twice now today, my phone's screen has been off, when all of a sudden, it vibrates and the camera app opens.

Some details:

Phone is on silent (not vibrate)

It does not vibrate when I open the camera app myself

My screen is off before it happens, but on (duh..camera) once it happens

It was just sitting on my desk the first time, and it was in my hand the second time

I have no notifications before or after this happens

So that's my issue. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I've rebooted my phone since the second time; I'm waiting to see if it happens again.
[Moto X Q&A] tcollum:
Any chance you gave it a good twist?
[Moto X Q&A] Neighbor808:
LOL same thing happened to me and I was bewildered. I didn't even know about this feature lmao
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
As the 2 other posters have implied (but not stated), this is most likely the "Twist to launch camera" gesture that is unique to the Moto X.

If you want to disable it, open the camera. Swipe from left to right to bring up the settings menu. Now scroll the settings menu like a wheel. The last icon shows a phone in a hand.

Tap the 'phone in hand' icon - this will disable the "twist" gesture, and it shouldn't happen any more.
