Hello,
so I'm with my 3th GNex now! with the 1st one the USB Port suddently stopped working properly. The 2nd one had a flawed display (had it for only 3 days but did notice the same problem with my 3th one)
My 3th one is okay but there is one problem: After 3 secs of any sound being played I can here a clicking/poppping sound coming from my speaker. This is very annoying when I've the normal Touchsounds on (I disabled them because of this...)
So I searched on google a bit and many users seem to have the same problem ( http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307 ).
It seems to be unclear if this is a hard- or software issue.
So I wanted to ask you guys do you have this issue aswell? Is there a fix for this? Hard- or software issue, what do you think? Should I again exchange my phone for a new one risking it to have a even louder clicking sound?!

I had this same issue and I can safely say its software related. If you flash Francos latest kernel he has this issue fixed. If your unrooted I'm not too sure what options you might have (apart from exchanging the device again?).

I read about the fix on francos kernel....the problem though is, that I already use his kernel...last version r110...the fix doesn't work for my phone
Weird. I don't use his nightlies, have you tried M2?

m2 doesnt even have the fix.
What's your software version? I'm on stock 4.0.2 and have no issues.

are you sure you dont have it? play any sound in a quiet room and listen closely. i only noticed it after reading about it and checking for it... shouldnt have done that. and the volume seems to vary from day to day
Nope didn't have it. Played some music tracks and listened to the touch sounds. Didn't got any clicking sounds after that.

This has been discussed at length here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490335
Keep in mind that this happens on many devices. For the people who say they don't hear it, perhaps they don't know what to listen for or perhaps they are just lucky and their particular device isn't affected by the problem.

If that's actually the case then it must have been fixed in CM9 as I definitely had this issue.
Hello,
I've been using my Galaxy S4 for about two weeks (not rooted, yet). Today after getting back from work I noticed some strange lines appeared on my screen, initially I thought that it was an app malfunctioning but soon realized that it was happening on all applications and screens!. The lines come and go and are not present all of the time, Is this covered under warranty? could this be a hardware issue or a factory reset may fix it? Has anyone been experiencing this behavior?
Thanks

Dollars to donuts a factory reset or at worst reflashing stock will fix it, it looks like a software issue.
Hi all,
the microphone on my Nexus 7 2013 stopped working after upgrade to Android 4.4.4
Had it replaced with a new one bought from ebay, but still not working.
Factory reset didn't help. It seems like a software issue. Tried doing a voice recording but all I hear is a soft pop at the start of the recording and then silence.
Can anyone point to some patch that will help fix this problem? Would appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem please help
Same problem here. Mic doesn't seem to work. Don't know what to troubleshoot (Nexus 7 2013 LTE)
Huh, always thought I had a bad mic unit in my Nexus 7, but I'm experiencing the same thing as you guys.
Never bothered with doing an RMA since it took me 4 months to even notice that my mic didn't work, but I'll still monitor the thread in case anything pops up.
Had the same problem on my N4 early this year. Never managed to fix it. My N7 looks fine though
Please help me with my nexus bad flickering screen... Been experiencing this for months... Anybody experiencing this? Do we have fix for this?

Looks like a hardware issue - you may need to have it physically repaired.

I had the same problem recently. I thought my little cousin killed it or something.
I read up on the net to see how to fix it. There were stuff like auto brightness, Wi-Fi, etc. Doesn't work.
Then somebody said to disconnect the battery and reconnect which worked for him...no luck for me (tricky taking it apart w/o breaking it).
I tried factory default and nothing.
Then I realized the last time I used this was months ago...Google pushed out an update.
So, I decided to reflashed it back to 4.4.3.
IT WORKED!!!
I tell you, nobody does software testing like they should anymore.
I wasted a couple of days to figure this out and reflash the device.
Give it a try.
I took the plunge to Android 7.0 Nougat, however I am having some major problems. Initially I had everything stock, and every once in a while my phone would reboot when on WiFi. Sometimes it rebooted within 5 minutes of booting back up, sometimes it would reboot 1 hour after booting back up. There is a whole thread about it here (note: not the bootloop issue occasionally talked about in that thread, although it could be related I guess): https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/kaMOvuf093Q
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue? It definitely seems to be linked to WiFi only. A bunch of users apparently narrowed down a few apps that triggered the reboots more frequently (Napster, for example), but the problem seems deeper than just a rogue app. Safe mode does seem to alleviate the issue, but this is not really an acceptable solutions to me. I tried another kernel (Franco's), but that didn't fix anything. I was wondering if anyone who had this problem had any success fixing it by changing ROMs or kernels? I also read that turning off WiFi scanning may also help--I will report back if this fixes anything.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks!
This could be part of the hardware issue that is happening, it talented to me and I finally have my phone back

Which Model of LG 5X?
Do you have H-790 or H-791 Model?

I have a H-790 Nexus 5x on Verizon.
has been happening to me too -- reboots randomly about once or twice a day. (only realize it since fingerprint scanner does not work and i am forced to key my passcode at first login post reboot).
It seems that the H 790 production series are faulty
Nexus 5x reboot problems
Yes it would appear so. However, I have read one post in Google Forums that speaks of problems with H791. However, it could be related to the wifi problem. There are two problems - one is problem booting initially and finally phone does not boot into the ROM and cannot be recovered. This seems to be related to hardware problem in H-790 series. The other has been isolated to the WiFi scanning which causes a crash.

Yeah, I am definitely having a problem with the WiFi crash. Would a custom kernel fix this? A custom ROM would, right? Any ideas for a fix for this?

I have read the same too, but he's the only one among the hundrends of h790 users who have the same problem.

You could try too, but I doubt it will fix anything. Its a hardware problem

I thought the bootloop issue was hardware related, but not the random reboots issue? Ex: Safe mode fixes the problem for me.

IMO opinion this is just the eMMC dying problem that people have reportedly sporadically over the past 12mo. That problem has affected both H790 and H791. It likely just became more likely to show up after the 7.0 update because that was a large update, but by no means is a large update going to cause the problem by itself. The core problem is eMMC that was waiting to fail and could have happened just when web browsing but a large update just pushed it over the edge. Some phones you can do many large updates and never see a problem, then boom, one day randomly it just reboots and bootloops, with no amount of flashing or resetting making any difference.

If safe mode fixes the problem, then I was wrong. Try to find which app conflicts with the system and uninstall it

I really wish Google would fix this, this isn't really an acceptable solution to me. :/
I have a h790 nexus 5x and haven't seen this issue, knock on wood. However if it's linked to wifi scanning that was issued in another post you may try disabling wifi scanning to see if the issue is resolved. If not it's definitely the emmc in my opinion

If it is indeed not a a hardware problem, then don't wait for Google to fix it overnight. Besides, it may be the case that there is no bug at all, and you flashed a corrupted firmware. Your Best bet right now is to try some custom Roms and kernels and see if it fixes the problem. If you don't want to mess with user made firmware then I would suggest you to reflash the latest stock image form Google. If both of the above fail, the you are forced to roll back to marshmallow
You can try to disable wifi scanner on sleep,.
After the Nougat upgrade, I was having random reboots on my 5X (LG-H791). It always happened when my 5X was sleeping (laying on my working desk or on my bedside table for some time). After the reboot it was working fine again for some hours, so it does not seem to be the bootloop issue. I remember that I had a few rare reboots after upgrading to Nougat 7.0, but after the last 7.1.1 upgrade the reboots occured at least every second day.
Last Friday I had enough of it. I downgraded to the last stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 (MTC20K), and it didn't crash a single time after that.
My wife's 5X is having the same random reboots. The reboots are less frequent (but still occur) when WLAN is turned off. I will downgrade her's too, if my 5X is still still stable after the next weekend.
I wonder if this is a different problem, or if this is just a first symptom of the bootloop issue. If it's a bug in Nougat, then shouldn't much more (if not all) 5X owners experience these random reboots?

hi, i had the exact same problem with my nexus 5x from carphonewarehouse (uk), and when it was given in to repair i was promised money in return, however they ended up refusing to give money and gave a replacement phone instead, the only way to fix this issue is apparently to get a replacement, as it is most likely a hardware issue google haven't accounted for
I've had the random restart issue for a while now. I got a "new" replacement in November for a different issue and have been on 7.0 the whole time (until last week when I got 7.1.1 OTA). I'm going to call today about another replacement. I've just had two restarts in the last hour.
