Hi everyone, my brand new Nexus 7 2nd gen is malfunctioning on me :crying:
After moderate usage the back gets hot round the camera, and I get some odd pixelcolors and screen freezes. Rebooted into safemode, but the problem continues. Did a factory reset and browsed around in googlge earth, and it froze up again after some time. When it freezes I can hit the lock button and screen goes black, if I unlock the screen it turns back on only the screen has all kinds of colors all over.
Usually after 15-30 sec i can use it again. I have installed the newest updates.
So, my question is: Has anybody seen the same on their device? Is there a way to fix it, or is it a factory hardware malfunction?
I made a video while it froze, not the best example, but it shows the problem. But since i am a new user i cant post the link.
You can post it to the following forum...

Hi all,
I purchase my Samsung Galaxy Nexus from 3 (Three) UK Store last Thursday. It has been faultless bar the odd hang which taking the battery out has resolved. Im using it on Orange.
However, this morning I picked up my phone and was notified I had the volume bix fix update.
I downloaded and installed the update and all was well for about 20 minutes.
Then my phone started going crazy!
I think its something to do with the screen as it keeps popping up the google search bar and flicking through some options, then the screen stops responding.
Sometimes the phone flicks between home screens partially and make them jiggle!
Locking and unlocking the phone gives me 5-30 seconds of normal use, then the phone goes crazy or just doesnt respond.
Ive turned the phone off and on, removed the battery and even reset it this evening.
It doesnt do it ALL the time, and whenever I try and do it on queue, it doesnt!
Luckily tonight I got video of the phone going crazy.
Can anyone help?
The phone is bog standard, ie no roms/roots etc.
Should I take it back or is there something I can do?
Also, since ive just reset the phone, ive had to set up my mail. Once the phone behaved I put in my account details and then it started popping up the menu button at the top of email, ie to change folders or accounts etc. Deffinately seems to be something with the top of screen.
Thanks

Please check the video out.
Maybe download the original shipping rom from Google and fastboot the image onto the phone and see if the behaviour continues.

This.
There's links to the original roms with or without the volume fix in place which can be found on the development section. I used this to update my gun and its working just fine. I'm also on Three UK and the reason I did this is because even though the volume bug doesn't affect us three users I still like being 100% up to date.

Hey all,
I have searched the web, but most of the info I found relates to the screen going black during calls, which isn't the problem I'm having. My screen is actually fine during/after calls.
This is happening to me randomly and is just the home screen. The lock screen and notifications are still visible when this problem occurs.
I can randomly press the screen hoping to hit an app and they open fine. Sometimes when I back out of the app, the homescreen returns to normal although it can take a few goes, sometimes I have to restart the phone. It isn't happening all the time, in fact before today the last time it happened was Wednesday. I'm just worried that it will become more frequent and as is stands I am still under the 30 days in which I can return the phone for a refund.
I was using Go Launcher Z, although I have returned to the default launcher in case that's what the problem is. Phone has all updates installed, is on 5.1 with the build number LMY47D.
I cannot boot into recovery mode to wipe the cache partition, I must have tried about 30 times. Majority of time the phone just turns on, a couple of times it came up with the option to do a factory reset.
Would appreciate any help
Is anybody have the same problem? Screen on my 5X sometimes goes black, its still working but its completly black. It is happening when Im using apps like snapchat, facebook, or sometimes i don't even need to do anything, it just go randomly black and after couple pushes of power button or even several restarts of phone screen back to normal. I tried factory reset but it doesn't work.
You should return it for warranty replacement (if you have not installed any custom ROM or modification...)
It happened to my wife's 5x, the replacement phone is just fine

Are you rooted? This happened to me yesterday twice. I'm on MDB08L, rooted with classic method and xposed installed with gravitybox....
Also, I was low on battery, around 15%
I've had it happen a couple of times too. Seems totally random, doesn't appear to be linked to any particular app, process, or battery state in my case.
I have installed Chroma rom this morning. No black screen since then... I'll update tomorrow.
UPDATE: Second day with chroma, no black screen so far.
Update 2: still no black screen...
Hi everyone,
so i was given a note 4 that had a booting up problem. it was originally my girlfriend's sister and she told me that when ever it turned off(either out of battery or manually) it would have a hard time booting up. when attempted to turn on it will show the
Samsung
GALAXYNOTE4
powered by
ANDROID
then black screen and a semi blue and white notification. sometimes it would vibrate, restart, and repeat for about two or three time's. i first tryed that "remove battery and drain out the power form the mother board" trick and sometimes it works. i installed a fresh, clean Android OS but still have that problem. i search online and i have not gotten no answers on why this happens. it just happend to me now and i used the "remove battery" trick and its turned on now but i would like to know a salution that will completly fix this problem. there will be times im going to restart the phone and im afraid it will get stuck again.
Hi all
I restarted my watch using settings menu. Then left the watch on charge and went away. Next day found watch to be dead with black screen. I hard reset it by holding button for 10 seconds. It seemed to start but then gets stuck on start up ( at different places and different booting time, every time) Have not able to complete boot it once.
Then I thinking I am very clever, went into the boot menu and deleted cache and data. It seemed to load a bit longer than last times and actually went on to connect with phine and started update but got stuck on 20 out of 27 apps.
So every time it gets stuck, it black screens and the only way to bring it out of this state is to hold down the button for 10 seconds. It does not black screen in FASTBOOT menu. I am not sure if there is any warranty left on this watch as it was bough second hand and till now had been working really well for about 3 weeks.
I have installed adb drivers but it doesn't show up on the PC. May be because i didn't do the developer options step before I am guessing. Anyway I have no idea what is happening to the watch and if it is even recoverable or not.
Any one seen this before? any ideas what I should do?
Thanks so much
One thing that gives me confidence that battery is not dead is that if I leave it in the fastboot menu screen then disconnt the carger it stays there.
I tried sideloading Android Wear 1.4 image. It fails at 57 or 58% , always
Just a note to anyone with similar problem. My watch sorted itself out after a few days. I think , if you leave your watch on charge and don't touch it for two days then it somehow help. I am not sure how it started working. My suspicion is that the watch either had water in it that dried out over two days or the charge had somehow gone so low that it needed a very long charge to stabalize. Anyway, it works now.
