Last night I was just browsing and the phone froze up and I had to pull the battery. This usually happens 3 times a day and it's just fine. But last night it just died. It still won't charge or turn on. Can anybody help? At this point i'm thinking about just getting a Nexus.

Oh I hate to hear this as you are a regular around here lately. Sounds to me like you OCd too much and fried your phone. I say that because of the many battery pulls you had to do all the time which is a symptom of OCing too high. Am I right on this or were you using a stock kernel?

Wow sounds like you had a bad phone then. Any chance you are still under warranty? If not well then if you can move on to something like the Nexus I would.
Ok, If you plug your phone into your PC you will probably see it recognized as a strange device, basically you have hard-bricked your phone and unless you have access to JTAG for your exhibit II and the ability to use it you are probably boned, It's rare for this to happen but it is the same kind of issue that occurs when pulling a battery during an OTA update.
Congrats, you won the Lotto.
Call T-mobile, tell them the phone won't turn on, don't resist and they will ask for your IMEI and all the related account info, you will be asked to ship your phone to them for a free replacement If you qualified under warranty still.

Yeah I feel your pain. It has been a one year war to get this thing to perform without freezing, rebooting and so on. It's fine if you use a GB ROM like RR or CM7 but I've gotten to rely on Google Now and don't want to give it up. Trying CM10.1 with PBE kernel for a few days. It froze up a bit today but I think much of the problem lies with Superuser which seems to be slow as Christmas at granting super permissions after booting. After switching to SuperSu, OCing to 1612 max (ondemand) with SIO things are running nice. SO FAR!!! Use to think SuperSu sucked but I'm starting to find out the truth.
This is kind of a last ditch effort. I have someone who's willing to buy it and if they decide to, that's all the excuse I need to get another phone. I don't think I'll get the Nexus though due to the fact it does not have expandable memory from what I can tell and even 16gb is not enough for me as I have a lot of music stored on my card.

Actually the Nexus 4 is perfect for me. I uploaded my music, picture, and video collection to Google. I keep like 1-2 high end games on my phone (most are on my Nexus 7). I'll be ordering the 8GB soon.

This phone was designed to work on gb, period.With all due respect to all the devs work how bout improving on GB ?
Why try to improve an outdated os? Just because a phone was shipped with or never updated past gb doesn't mean it was only meant to run that os

Besides RR ofcourse which is also a nice ROM. An do believe Exquizit (sp) but recall there was a security problem? Not counting Peach in this simply cause as i believe Jocala put it "debloated stock".
Any how just wondering how fast and smooth GB could be with the right dev on the job.

Hey guys.
Just got this phone yesterday, haven't done much expect the obvious few apps (Facebook, ect...) Is there any way for me to improve battery life and the general way the device works? I know nothing about rooting and would only even attempt it of there were a 1-click method. I think it installed Jelly Bean a few minutes after I turned it on, but I'm not sure. I installed Cache Cleaner by Infolite, because it helped keep my last phone from rebooting, but I'm not sure I need it here. Do I?
I just got out of the hospital so my main concern here is just that it works good and is reliable, I would love to get the best battery life I could but like I said, I'm not really the mod type as I have no experience with it.
So, I would be grateful for any info you guys could give me. I'll post a screen shot to give you guys a better idea of what my device is running specifically.
-Thanks.
Yeah your running jelly bean. And currently its not a 1 click process. As far as battery life goes you could put the razr maxx battery in it and it'll last for a day.

(3. Download both The ROM and the corresponding Gapps from the links below.
(4. Reboot. When the Safestrap 3 splash page appears, enter "Recovery"
(5. Make new rom slot and install both The ROM and the Gapps. Instructions are in "how to safestrap", http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/.
(6. Reboot

I'm just curious though, how/why will doing these things help my battery life and what other changes will it make to the device? And how great is the chance of me screwing it up and bricking the device?
Sorry to be such a noob.

You wont brick as long as you follow the directions, its hard to explain why this rom is gonna help you out, its fast and deletes bloatware, and allows you to optimize your battery life so that theres less usage like when the screen is off, it saves a lot of battery life.
I would love to do it if it's gonna help, but I just don't have enough faith in myself to try it. Like I said, I just got out of the hospital (psychiatric) and my nerves are still a bit wonky. Maybe a 1-click method will be released soon and I can give that a shot at some point.
Sorry to hear that,
For now just disable every att app keep GPS off keep wifi off when not in use brightness low, close apps.

try to calibrate battery
1. Once your phone dies plug it into your HTC charger, (DO NOT TURN IT ON)
2. Let it charger fully (about 3 hours) until you see the light turn green, unplug the phone
3. Turn on the phone on but do not mess with it. (no checking email, messages, etc) let it sit for about 20 to 30 min
4. then plug it in again but let it continue to sleep (about 30 min)
5. once the light is green, unplug and your finished.
this is called a jump charge (DO NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME)
the phone knows what your doing and it should re-calibrate any phone.
Thanks, and hey. I just noticed you're from Raleigh. I used to live on the south side near Garner. I'm in South Carolina now though, it sucks.
Not to be a bother, but I was thinking I'd switch my SIM card for a BYOD Net10 or Straight Talk one and go prepaid for the time. Any info/thoughts on how that might effect the phone?
Also, if my noob questions are getting tiresome feel free to tell me to shut-up. I'll understand.

Indeed... it doesn't even work if you attempt to unroot first (you'll end up in a bootloop: which you can get out of if you re-root via cfautoroot). At least that's what happened to me

Really? I'm noticing a huge improvement, especially during idle times. And I'm certain it's not placebo because the difference is night/day. I'd lose about 10% an hour just in idle. Now it's about 2% if that.

Just updated and re-rooted with CF root. No noticeable changes to speak of. Apparently, the OTA size was under 50mb.
Sent from my SM-N910U
Just downloaded it. Guys theres a massive difference . Absolutely no lag when pressing recent apps .. not even a .1 of a second. It instant. Multi apps run smoother . Not sure of battery life yet.
Updating mine right now. One thing I noticed on ANJ3, with Android Wear installed, Play Services was chewing up tons of battery on idle. I'm not sure if it was Android Wear specifically or perhaps a bug in Play Services but either removing Android Wear or disabling the specific service in Play Services related to Wearables was the only way to stop the drain. I'm going to give Android Wear another shot on ANJ5.
I've never had this problem with my other Notes. In the last couple of weeks I noticed this started to happen, where I'm losing battery ridiculously fast where I can't really use the phone for more than 3 hours. Battery stats show that "Android System" is using the battery. I got the G Sam Battery Monitor app, which reflects the same thing.
But Android System could be any number of things. Any idea what I should be looking at? Where I should start trying to find a culprit?
Is GPS icon flashing? If so, check which app is running in the backgroud that is using GPS.
Also, clear all of your recent apps and see if it fixes it.
No GPS isn't flashing. And I've gotten in the habit of clearing the recently opened apps. Memory shows 2GB of usage but "no active applications." I can't tell if something in the background would be using GPS.
Clean wipe, Odin flash the stock NJ7 build. re-root
Then reflash the ROM you want. Most likely you got something hung up in the code that it is trying to use and is failing so it is constantly running.
That our you have Facebook installed. Jk, sorta for real though worst app ever for battery.

I'm still stock, so haven't rooted or anything. I've been trying to hold out as long as possible. Other than this new battery issue I was OK without root (gasp).
I do have Facebook, and I'm a Facebook and 9Gag abuser, but if those were the apps draining battery, the stats would reflect them, no?
Like I said, I've never experienced this issue. In the past (see my long list of smartphones) I've always been able to pinpoint what's using my battery. Not this time.

Yes, but that's also not the cause of the battery issues. As Samsung doesn't ship out a phone expecting it get 5 hours of battery life and blame it on "LOL we bloated your phone."
I will undoubtedly end up rooting the phone, as I have done with all others, but I don't want to at this point.
Last night it ran out of battery completely while I was at the bar, so I couldn't charge it. That's the first time the phone shuts off in 21 days since I first got it. All my widgets on Go Launcher were lost for some reason. I'm going to let it run through the battery today and get some screenshots later.

Yup huge difference with firecat. Oddly enough my note 3 had great battery life from just the stock rom.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Sorry, forgot to come back to the thread. After that night when I ran out of battery and the phone turned off (for the first time since I purchased it), I've had great battery life again. So something was definitely stuck. I've now restarted the phone and used it heavily the last two days and the phone has lasted me many many hours.
In 2016 2GB of RAM in smartphones is nothing special, it's a minimum to get Android working good. Flagships have 4GB of RAM, OnePlus 3 even more. But... I'm so impressed how my Nexus 5 can handle apps running in background. I've been always satisfied with overall speed and memory management and now I can see it even more. Today I've made a completely clean flash with DARK ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-dark-rom-t3368248 and I opened couple of my apps.
So I ran:
MAPS.ME
Chrome Dev with 1 website opened
Instagram
Twitter
Facebook Messenger
Play Store
Phone app
Youtube
Spotify
Weather Timeline
WhatsApp
Tapatalk
QuickPic v4.5.2
Settings app
After open of each app, of course, I tapped home button, not back button. I did not only open each app but I did navigate a little, for example in Youtube I ran a video and THEN I tapped home button. So every app was running 100%. And guess what... EVERY app stayed in memory, when I relaunched every app, I haven't any reload, every app was working exactly as after first run. And everything was 100% smooth and fast. I wash I had a good camera to record a video, but I will try to capture it in few days. But why would I lie? [emoji14] Every Nexus 5 user should believe me, I guess. Of course, probably custom ROM and kernel make a difference in compare to stock ROM. Also, each ROM can work better or worse. So what's your experience when it comes to memory management in our 3 YEARS OLD device? (sorry for my not perfect English)

What part of my post do you not understand?
What's the point of it? I think that everyone who have a Nexus 5 knows it already.
But anyway, everybody is free to talk here. Thank you.

And everyone who doesn't have a Nexus 5 doesn't know about it.
And who would be accessing the thead of a 3 year old phone, if not the few owners?

Dark ROM has built-in TrueSight kernel and I'm using it.

No need to fight guys. I'm still rocking my Nexus 5 CM 13 Snapshot + ElementalX Kernel. Smooth, fast, no problems, feels always like a new phone.

The post is really good in my opinion im pretty sure it really depends on the ROM and not on every ROM that will work for example the CM13 was alot faster than dirty unicorns ( Im currently running ) but i really like the rom its just all about modding ( i enabled the gesture the omni switch and there is alot more ) [the phone is fully loaded in tasks but still abale to be really good phone without any freezes or lags

Hi im not sure why you bought the phone but i can recommend you a few thinks just to know
-Elemental X is a great kernel
works With CM DU and Stock (not caf)
____MODS______
there is a stereo mod for nexus ( you are going to use your phone call speaker as a normal one )
Extra smoth mod really good mod but it includes new video driver so beware you doesnt have to worry about installing it
Nexus Volume booster there is an app at the play store wich creates a custom zips for this and it actually working !
PHYSICAL MOD I CANT REALLY RECOMMEND YOU DOING THIS AND I NOT GIVING ANY WARRANTY i just took apart my phone (its not that simple be really of the battery don't bend it if you are trying to get it out ( recommend you not doing this ) when you removing the battery connector DON'T bend it too much or it may break OK and be really gentle with the antennas so what are you have to do it sound really simple just apply thermal paste ( it helped me alot for some reason my phone was really Thermal Throttling all the time ) take the primary mobo out you doesnt have to take out the little board above the primary one dont forget to disconnect the camera )
( there is a really good root toolkit it includes back ups lock and unlocks of the boot loader custom recoveries in other words all the good stuff just search in google "nexus root toolkit")
hear is a few tips from experienced nexus 5 user
[if that helped you don't be mad bro just press the thanks button ]:good:
This makes me so proud to be an owner of a such beautiful device. I see people selling it on second hand sites for almost nothing, I actually thing of grabbing another one, or two.
And recently Im more into trying to get my old phones work good(nexus 4 - cm 12.1 - works like a breeze, galaxy sIII MINI - cm 12.1 unofficial - very impressed about how I got it to work, galaxy s plus - gingerRevenge - still works quite good with lighter tasks. And I bet there are a lot more older phones that still works good today.
I tell u. People dont know how to apreciate good tehnology. Also I hate this marketing making u buy a new phone every year.
