I have the same problem, and the only way to switch it back on, is to plug it in the charger, wait for the battery icon to appear, and then try to switch it on.

It shut off twice while I was using the camera, and I thought it was caused by the HDR+ bug, but it also happened twice later, while idle in my pocket.

Anyone else seen this?

Same

I have the same problem. For the last two weeks it only crashed when I was using my camera. Yesterday it crashed while I used maps and gmail. This is very frustrating and have made the phone useless. I'm really surprised this has not gotten more attention.

I have seen people say that replacing the battery has solved the problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kted:
The battery has been replaced about a month ago.

I've used all the tricks I know, (wipe cache, dalvic, clear data from some core apps).

There seems to be no pattern to the lock-ups. It happened 5 times since last Saturday, when it first appeared.

Are you running 5.1.1?

I'm afraid to update my wife's Nexus 4 to 5.1.1.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GripR:
Damn 5.1.1
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
I had no issues with 5.1.1, so you all probably should just flash factory images through fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kted:
I am with stock 5.1.1, rooted, xposed+gravitybox, after a clean install.

It worked fine at first, the random shutdowns started a week ago.

What annoys me most, is that after the shutdown, the only way to power on the phone, is to plug it in a charger. As soon as the battery icon shows, you can power on. It happened again a few hours ago, during a photo (with HDR+), and I had to wait till I returned home and plugged it in.

I wonder if we have to wait for an official bug fix from Android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tesla45:
I have this same problem, I did have issues prior to the 5.1.1 update with having to press the power button 2-3 times OCCASIONALLY to present the lockscreen and have it stay on so unlock (it would present itself and go off the first few times). But that was a pretty intermittent problem, and not that annoying.

Now with 5.1.1 OTA instead of that issue, merely tapping the power button brings up the power off dialogue and the phone automatically shuts off. This seems to pop up every other day or so. Seems like a pretty horrid bug. Trying a cache partition wipe again now.

My Nexus 5 on lollipop has been all sorts of problems. I love the new design and changes, but reliability is gone to cow patties
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
HEY!!!

Xposed for 5.1.x is unofficial, even Official Xposed for 5.0.x is in alpha phase, so don't use it yet if you're aiming for stability.

Regardless, you all need to go back to stock, a fresh start, by flashing factory images from Google. I'm sure you know how to do it, so take your backups and go do it.

I'm going to run in SAFE MODE for a day and see how it goes. Maybe it's an app is not working well with 5.1.1 What I noticed that each time it shuts off ALL the apps have to be optimized again.

Safe mode didn't work for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kted:
My problem is not the same, it seems.

It happens one in every two times I take a photo with HDR+.

The phone switches off instantly, and the only way to switch it on again, is to plug it into a charger.

I have the same issue.

Started like a week ago while came back from M preview to cataclysm. Was very frustrating and made a clean install of stock, reboot continued, more accurately it seems like a reboot with the Google logo, and then it turns off.

Happens with and without xposed.

What I have noticed though is that it happens much much less when WiFi is off.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strainhunter:
Any updates on this?

Happens to me too. Just shuts of. Not like a reboot... just goes of. When I try to power it on again it begins to boot, but after a while on the bootanimation it shuts of again. Only If plug it in the charger it boot completely again. (mostly with optimizing all apps afterwards, but not every time. I also noticed that when maybe the battery is at 50 when it is shutting down, then after I plugged it in the charger for like 5 minutes and boot it, Battery is showing arround 90% already. (can't be, right?... ?)

So I think it's the battery, Imo.

Tomorrow I will clean flash the Google 5.1.1 stock factory image to check if it happens there too. If so then I have to send it in I guess...

I'm on BlissPop 5.1.1 + ElementalX atm, but tried many things already. Once without ElementalX, once with stock bliss kernel and a clean flash after factory reset. I even flashed the 5.0.1 bootloader and radio again + the 5.0.1 rom I used a few weeks before where everything was ok. (ExodusRom) but it happend too. So it almost must be the hardware (motherboard, battery etc.)

I also think it's the battery. I will be be changing the battery soon. if there is any improvements after that I will provide update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igimmi:
So today, my phone kept dying when the battery was around 40%. So I said screw it and got the battery replaced.

The old battery (on the right) looked bloated compared to the new one. The battery could have been the cause of all our problems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofer6483:
I think that for some of us the cause is a faulty power button.

I'd love to hear If any of you replaced it or know a good tutorial for that.

Hi.

Any updates on the cause? Did changing the battery fix the problem?

And I have another question if you don't mind. Did you find it complicated/hard to open the nexus 5 and change the battery?

Because I ordered a new battery and a tool set to open it today too... Hope that I don't destroy more than I fix.... ?

Hi,

So it has been almost two days since the battery swap out. And I'm happy to report, that my phone has not crashed and my battery lasts all day.

As far as the replacement of the battery, I took it to a local shop, and they replaced it under 10 minutes and it cost me $30.

Good Luck with yours. :D

Go replace the battery. It has helped me.:D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blacksmith5:
be careful when you first remove the back cover. The bottom area by the microUSB pot is attached with an adheasive. There is an excellent youtube video by LE55ONS on Disassembly/Assembly of the "Nexus 5. It gives great detail and instructions. It might be worth your time to review it before tackling replacing your battery.

I hope this helps you. Let us know how you got on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strainhunter:
Hi again.

So 2 days ago I got the new battery.

Opening the device and switching the battery went fine. (except that I broke of one of the clips of the backcover, but it's ok.) And the adhesive that holds the back cover and the battery inside had cost me some time, but you just have to do it very slow.

And since I switched the battery everything is fine. No shutdown toll now. And the battery hold longer again... ?

At first wireless charging did not work after i reassembled the device. But the I read on the web that on the back cover there a not only clips on the edges, but also one in the middle (right above the "s" of "nexus") and after I pressed on the" s" I heard a clicking and wireless charging worked again...

So I'm happy again... ?

Thanks for the tips and so...

As above, does the ZF2 (USA Model) have AWS(1700/2100) Band for 3G/HSPA (not LTE)?

I'm getting conflicting specs from various sources, but most of them seem to indicate that the AWS(1700/2100) Band is for LTE only and not 3G/HSPA. Am I correct?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VietnamTom:
I think it does have AWS on 3g, I did a chat with ASUS before and they said it does support it and said their website was outdated
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mddelala:
Hi. Just wanted to tell that I bought a Zenfone 2 about 2 weeks ago from amazon and it DOES work perfectly with AWS on 3G (UMTS/HSPA) (I have a subscription with Nextel Chile and they only use AWS, if there is no signal it will start roaming (happened a few times in an underground, and when it does it shows an R next to the signal bar).

I bought an international unlocked version of the phone from amazon while I was in the States (almost returned it bc I saw a few posts saying that it had no support for AWS). The exact link to the amazon page where I bought it is the following: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ZenFone-...UTF8&qid=1433552355&sr=1-1&keywords=zenfone+2

If you check the amazon description, it DOES say that it support AWS (it lists UMTS/HSPA bands 1700/2100 which is a common way to call the AWS band).

Still, YMMV and although it worked perfectly for me, I'm not giving you any warranty.

If there's a way to check the current band my phone is using, I'd be interested in checking this out and posting a picture.

And my second place choice is made by a tactical firearm accessories company, Magpul field case. Up until recently they only made cases for macntrash.

I had a Spigen Slim Armor View Case for a little over a year and I loved it, but the plastic around the volume buttons broke from removing it to change batteries too much.

This model wasn't available in the color I wanted through Amazon Prime so I ordered the Spigen Neo Hybrid Series.

I live it so far, it's smaller and slimmer than the Silm Armor, it was metal around the edges instead of rubber so the first time the case hits the grounds it's going to scratch, which I don't like. The buttons are a little easier to press with the Neo Hybrid but the opening for the charger cable is a little small, I have to shave down some of the micro USB cables to fit.
