Hey you guys, ive been using my N1 for about 10 months now, and lately its been a headache because I've been facing weird touch issues since about 7 months... and its getting worse every day...
Initially I thought that this problem was caused because I installed the HTC_IME keyboard that can be found here, I uninstalled it and the problem dissapeared but just for some weeks untill a few days ago, I installed the "gingerbread keyboard" and my problem reappeared, I have tried everything, wiped, flashed, wiping the KB data... and this issue is still there...
Sometimes Im writing and when I press (for example) the "E" button the phone puts hjk.. its practically impossible to write an sms or in gtalk, because when i write the nex letter "X" (for example) the phone puts yui, so instead of ex it appears hjkyui...
Im also facing the thing that you can see in the minute 2:09 of This Video (as far I know, every nexus one does this).
One thing that i noticed is that this issue started when i flashed my first Cyano rom! (I think).
This happens 6-8 times every day, i have to turn off the screen and turn it on again, but sometimes neither this solve the problem!
Is there a way to calibrate my screen? or any app to check if something is wrong?
Im begging for your help, Its very difficult to sell this phone in my country couse everybody uses blackberry... and i dont have the money to change it... Im using last nightlie build (295).
try a different rom... we all have the same touch screens so you problems cannot be any different than anyone elses... the biggest thing i have noticed is the problem starts when you rotate the phone alot
Ill try another rom tomorrow!
any other suggestions?
I have sometimes the keboard problem like yours it's rare. so far as I know you can't fix the touch problems it is there and will be forever. when typing sometime you can touch the screen with the inside of your hand and everything goes wrong then.
if you really having issues when typing you can turn off the screen and back on most of the time it acts normal again.

no i don't have that much, really maybe once a week or two.
Maybe your digitizer is broken. i have my nexus now for a year and never had that much problems with the touch screen.I only notice that the multi touch isn't good when playing games on it.
Im using my keyboard without the prediction and since yesterday I have not had any touch issue.
Ill continue using it that way and see how it goes!
Please keep us updated on the progress. I also have this issue. Uninstalled HTC_IME and replaced by SmartKeyboard Pro which solved the issue for a while but recently I have the issue again. Not too often but it indeed is annoying... Would love to see some ultimate solution to this because other than that I am very happy with Nexus.
PS using official OTA ROM (2.2.1 for now)
do you plug in your phone a lot? I find mine only plays up if I use it plugged in

It only happens to me about once or twice a week for the last year. It happens more often than not immediately after plugging in the charger.
Of course I use the day lights out of my phone, 2 charges a day with 6 hours of screen on time a day.

Well thats odd, each of us are facing different beginnings of this annoying issue!
I've noticed it happens whenever the phone gets hot, usually when charging via an AC adapter.

well, just for you to know, yesterday I chatted with my GF for like an hour and a half with it connected to the charger and not happened to me, im starting to think that this is caused by the auto complete option (which is odd too)
after 2 days of not having any issue, my touch went crazy again, but just a little, I was not charging it, it had the autocomplete option unticked, and it was liying on my bed couse I texted a lot today with my GF.
i did not turned the screen off, I i forced it to write what i wanted it to write... then i left it again on my bed, it turned its screen off and later another message came and it was just fine...
Ill continue testing it like this couse this time the issue was very short.
Its the digitizer. Its a flaw in the N1. But Ive also had the same expierence with launcher pro.

Is there any reliable way to check if its the very source of my trouble?
Any suggestions?
It doesn't matter what app you are doing on the phone at that particular time. It's a hardware defect and just happens wherever you are at the moment.
I've had it happen on the main home screen, typing a text with the keyboard, browsing the web, anywhere. Just a quick sleep the screen resets it back to normal.

I know and understand that, the problem here is that its happening too often that its annoying...
Just to let you know, sometimes i cant even use my phone, and as you said "Just a quick sleep the screen resets it back to normal" ive done it and nothing is fixed, i even wiped to factory settings and when the wipe is completed, my phone its still the same!
Try using another keyboard like swift key or something. You can calibrate the phone in your settings menu

I was unfortunate enough to get one of the first batch of preorder Nexus 6's on AT&T with the random reboot issue. Has anyone found a solution for this yet? Flashing the stock factory image from Google does not work. Exchanging is not an option as of now because no AT&T store in my area has any in stock. Any help would be appreciated.
Mine was rebooting at least once a day. I noticed that it happened a couple times as I was lifting the phone, when ambient display would normally turn on, so I turned ambient display off. It's been almost two days now with no restarts. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
Noticed my Motorola.com unit doing this over the past few days. Really strange, but haven't found a solution to it either.

I am having the exact same issue and i purchased from Motorola.com as well. Check my phone and the screen is blank and i have to power off my phone to get it to come back to life. Not sure what the issue is but it is frustrating.
Haven't had a reboot at all, using T-Mobile N6.
Upload a last_kmsg after your "random reboot" in /proc/
OP,
Are you saying you flashed the factory image and it didn't fix the issue or you were unable to flash the factory image successfully?

Same here. Motorola direct device. AT&T SIM, freeze up on a black screen once every 24-hours only when NOT on WiFI for extended periods.

I am not sure if the WIFI has anything to do with it but i will keep track of when my phone reboots. Most of the time it was in my pocket and i went to check it and the screen was off and had to hold down the power button to turn it off and back on. If it happens again in going to try to call/text myself or use android device manager to see if it actually is ON but the screen is blank or if it is actually turned off completely.
Is this issue present also in the playstore's devices?
Just got home from my second trip to the AT&T store today. They told me they wanted me to return the phone and that they have no ETA on when they will be receiving the fixed batch. If I wait until after the 14 day return period the phone they will exchange me for will be refurbished.
My options are:
1. Keep the phone
2. Return the phone and go back to my old one
3. Exchange it when they have the "fixed" batch for a refurb
Great...

I just noticed yesterday by phone rebooted after leaving work and driving home. It was off wifi the whole time and when i got home the screen was blank. Couldn't turn it on without holding down the power button. I have a form in the Motorola forms about the same issue. I'll post if i get a resolve.
Shoot. Got a fully paid for AT&T Nexus 6 delivered last Friday (tried every Wed on Play Store and gave up). The ringtones, startup sound and subtle branding dont really bother me. The tether restrictions dont affect me on a shared data plan. But, it's randomly rebooted two consecutive nights while sitting next to me on couch. I suspect ambient display because it was right at time for medicine reminder app notification. Unacceptable. I guess if it continues I'll take it back after Thanksgiving and use Nexus 5 until AT&T can get some stock to replace it. Assuming it's an AT&T only hardware problem, which doesnt actually seem likely. Otherwise, maybe AT&T / Motorola can push Google to do a software fix.
I have this problem too. I have an unrooted ATT nexus 6. Last night i did a factory reset and turned off ambient display. I have a feeling ambient display may be to blame for these random reboots but who knows
Mine plays the ATT jingle when it freezes up. The screen goes black and have to hold the power button down to get it back up. Happened once at work (no wifi) and once at home (on wifi).
I hope they push an update soon.
Don't hold your breath for the update. If flashing a stock image doesn't fix it the problem is probably deeper than that. You have 14 days from the day you received it to get a new replacement.

In my experience, yes. I purchased a 32gb Blue model from the play store, running it with a brand new AT&T sim and in the week I've had it its randomly rebooted three times that I've noticed. Hopefully its an issue with a single batch, I'm RMAing this device for other reasons (uneven display color) and hopefully the new one won't have these issues.
On 2 separate occasions today I found myself looking down at my Nexus 6 to find it powering up.
Is anyone else noticing random resets? I have rooted, unlocked bootloader and removed encryption on mine.
I get this a ton of times. I'll take care the phone out of my pocket and screen is black. I'll hit the power button and the device is dead. Then I'll hold the power button until it restarts. This happens at least 2-3 times a day its very annoying

Did you get your phone from AT&T? If so they had a recall which had a problem where it causes reboots and shipped with wrong software.
I got it from Play store.

Same here, but much less common than you described. It's probably happened to me twice since I've owned it (I got mine on the 17th from Motorola).

Hmm try attaching a last_kmsg after a reboot to determine what causes the reboot or steps on how to reproduce it. I have not had a random reboot and mines was from t mobile.

I'm leaning towards this not being a software issue but a hardware issue. I've went ahead and opened a case with Motorola and they are sending me out a replacement phone. Hopefully this will fix this issue going forward.
It happens to me about once a day. I cannot pinpoint the cause.
It's happened to me twice in 8 days.
has happened to me every day since i bought it (wed 26th) bought from bell store in Canada (blue 32gb)
It's happening to me too. Got mine from AT&T. Mine randomly cuts off. Not rooted or anything.

I said before on other threads before, out of 3 nexus I bought from GPS one of them rebooted twice the first day, and the second day was unusable, rebooted every 5 mins. For me it was a hardware problem, i flashed factory image, factory reset, everything and nothing, called google, they send me the replacement, and never seen a random reboot on it.
I have a problem with my LG G Watch R. I use it just a week and in beginning it was all great, but after an upgrade(I think) to 5.0.1 my watch started to shut down randomly.
Sometimes when it shuts down I just turn it on and it works, but sometimes it wont turn on at all with button(holding it to 20 sec and nothing) only way to turn it on is to put it on charger until it turns on and than when removed from charger can be used normally until next shut down which could be for 5 min or few hours you can never know.
I tried to reset from settings and even form boot it and it didn't fix it. Can problem be in pairing it with rooted smartphone with unofficial rom or something like that?
I have also one shutdown yesterday for first time after 4 weeks and it is after 5.01 update.
I do not know why but it is possible that my hand position has pressed for more than 10s the power button ?

It is possible, but mine shuts down even when standing on table, and on my wrist. I thing it is some battery management issue because it somehow shuts about the same percentage of battery(about 70% than about 52% etc..)
I am faced with the same problem... Were you able to solve it?
Me too... same problem. I don't known why.
Same here. Had the watch for a week, first week everything fine now it just shuts down and I am unable to start it without the charger. I have just upgraded the software.

Not for me...Shutdown is done randomly. Sometimes it's just few seconds after a reboot, sometime it's after 1 hour, sometimes it works for few days...I had also a reboot
in recevory & fastboot mode...Sorry to say LG, but your hardware is not efficient
I sent it in a few days ago. Will let you know once I get it back
I'd make sure you don't have any Wear Apps causing problems. I found that "Advance Settings" caused mine to regularly crash.
True, but crashing is one thing. The Probolem here is that the phone shuts down all the time.
Just got a letter from the company that's repairing my watch. Due to a parts that's not available the repair will take some more time. They sent me a list of the parts that are going to be replaced:
PCB assembly
Rechargeable battery
Cover assembly
LG2 (no idea what that's going to be)
Anyway. I'm glad they are fixing it and I'm looking forward to get it back soon.

After many phone calls and emails I won't get the watch back. However the store will give me a refund for it. Unfortunately I can't buy it here anymore. Gotta check ebay
Has your 7 Pro randomly shut down since you have had it?
Seems like it's been happening for a fair few people on multiple carriers and versions of the phone, including myself. You can see complaints in the below thread.

You can get your phone back on by holding power+vol up for a few seconds! This is super annoying as I use my phone as an alarm and now can't trust it to work.
Yes I have.
Nope
Twice...now I'm rooted we'll see if it continues

Could be Hardware/Software issue. But if you were able to revive it with the said shortcut, then I think it's a software issue.
Btw never faced this issue.
I have had this happen as well a few times but it was due to a certain kernel I was using.
Yup, was rather scared as even long pressing power didn't do anything. Thought it was completely game over. Luckily mentioned power-on button combo brought it back to life.
Has happened twice now. So far this and the worthless A/B partition shizzle has left a bad taste for now.
You could always check to see if this is ticked to make sure you don't miss an alarm.
I have this since day one no reboots at all
I have the T-Mobile version and converted to International running stock OS w/ elemental kernel. No issues since I bought it..
none so far. I have had my phone since last thursday and has a build date of 6.4.2019 everything works great no issues.
Not experiencing anything of that nature on my end luckily.
Happened to me the other day. I just assumed I drained the battery although I knew there was no way I used it that much since taking it off the charger. I just left it off for a while and then turned it on by attempting to go into the BL.

Yes. If that's turned on and your phone is off, it'll basically turn the phone on like you normally would using the power button. It does this a minute or two before your alarm is supposed to go off.
