Nexus 5x reboots at the Google logo. Problem: Insufficient microphone volume

Returning to factory settings or in another way - hard reset, a very important and necessary element of each device, regardless of the model, manufacturer and functionality. It allows you to quite easily eliminate many malfunctions in the operation of the device that inevitably appear over a long period of operation. It would seem so simple - just take it and restore it to the factory state with a few taps on the screen or keys, but what can this even change? It turns out that there is a lot. Do not forget that much of what is considered complex is actually elementary.

Typically, users decide to Hard Reset their Nexus 5 phone in two cases:

• when everything is still not so bad and the device at least turns on and works;
• when everything is already bad and the device shows almost no signs of life.

For each of these reboot cases there is a different course of action.

First way

If the smartphone is still “alive”, then you need to:

1. Go to "System Settings".
2. Go to the “Restore and reset” section.
3. Select reset settings, then confirm your action.

As you can see, this operation can be completed in just a few seconds.

Second way

1. Turn off your phone
2. Simultaneously press two volume keys and the power button to turn it on again. After this, the device should turn on and show the inscription “Start” (Start)
3. At this stage, you need to press the volume down key twice, which will mean selecting recovery mode.
4. Next, you will have to reboot your smartphone in recovery mode by pressing the Power button, after which its screen will display a red exclamation mark and the Android system logo.
5. Now you need to hold down the power key and press the volume up key, after which a menu will appear on the screen in which you will need to select “wipe data/factory reset”. Confirm your choice and press the power button.

Comment! If something goes wrong during the hard reset, no one bothers you to turn off the device and turn it on again and try again.

Even the most advanced devices have their problems, and the Google Nexus 5 is no exception. In this article, we have collected for you all the most common Nexus 5 problems and solutions for them.

Problem: camera doesn't work

A common issue among Nexus 5 users is that the camera freezes/turns off and gives a “Camera Paused” error. There doesn't seem to be any specific reason for this error, but it's easy to fix.

Crutches:

• After rebooting, the Nexus 5 camera should work as before.
• Go to [Settings > Applications > All > Camera] and tap Clear Cache. If you are using a non-native photography app, then do the same with your app.

Problem: unstable compass operation

Sometimes you may notice that the compass on your Nexus 5 shows incorrect information: for some, it shows west instead of north (in apps like Google Maps). The error may go away on its own, but you can reduce the wait time by calibrating the compass.

The most popular way to calibrate the compass on your smartphone is to make a figure eight with it. This is one of those things that is easier to show than to explain how to do it, so check out this video to understand what we are talking about.

Problem: Bluetooth does not work

Many Nexus 5 users have problems with Bluetooth: the smartphone does not see other devices when it is in close proximity to them; Problems arise during connection or data transfer, as well as during auto-connection with previously paired devices.

Possible solutions:

• Start by rebooting both devices.
• Try turning off Wi-Fi on your smartphone or switching the used band (don’t forget to switch the frequency band on your router after that) - this can often affect the operation of Bluetooth.
• Make sure you are setting up the connection with the other device correctly.
• One of the devices may have exceeded the list of connected devices. Try deleting existing profiles and reconfiguring your connection. On Nexus 5, this is done in the [Settings > Bluetooth] menu.
• Try using the Bluetooth Auto Connect app to connect

Problem: Insufficient microphone volume

Many Nexus 5 users have encountered the problem that their interlocutors have difficulty hearing them while talking on the phone.

Crutches:

• With this problem, the speakerphone continues to work stably, so to make sure you are heard, you can turn on the speakerphone. Some users have reported that switching to speakerphone and back again may resolve the issue.
• Use a headset or headphones with a microphone for calls.
• Some users have been able to overcome the problem by covering the second noise-canceling microphone, which is located on the top of the Nexus 5.

Possible solutions:

• Make sure nothing is blocking the microphone. If your phone has a case, try removing it and checking if the sound quality has changed.
• The microphone is located on the right side of the bottom edge of the phone - try blowing there or directing a stream of compressed air to get rid of dust and other particles that might be stuck there.

Problem: Unable to answer the call

Some Nexus 5 owners have found that they are unable to answer incoming calls: for some users, the screen simply remains black, for others, clicking on the red and green icons has no effect and the phone continues to ring.

Crutches:

• Rebooting your phone will temporarily solve the problem.
• Switching from LTE to 3G or 2G has helped some users. You can check your settings in the menu [Settings > Advanced > Mobile networks > Preferred network type].
• Some people report that resetting the cache in [Settings > Storage] helped them, but the problem may return over time.

Possible solutions:

• Try booting into to see if third-party applications are behind this problem. If the problem disappears in safe mode, then first of all pay attention to third-party messaging applications.
• Check available updates in [Settings > About phone > Software updates].

Problem: “OK Google” command does not work

Over time, the “OK Google” voice command stopped working for some Nexus 5 users. When speaking words, nothing happened, or a characteristic sound was heard, but Google Now did not launch.

Possible solutions:

• Make sure command recognition is turned on in [Settings > Google > Search > Voice Search > “OK Google” recognition]. You can also check this by launching the Google app, tapping the menu icon and selecting [Settings > Voice Control].
• Try rebooting your device while holding the Power button.
• Go to [Settings > Google > Search > Voice Search > Language] and make sure you have Russian language selected.
• Make sure you have a backup and .

Problem: network drops

Many Nexus 5 users have reported network issues that may occur when switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, switching between 3G and 4G, etc.

Crutch:

• Press and hold the Power button until your smartphone restarts. After this, the network should be restored.
• Go to [Settings > Wireless networks > More > Mobile networks > Network type] and configure the network manually.

Possible solutions:

• There is some possibility that your APN is not configured correctly. Check what settings your carrier requires and go to [Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Mobile networks > Access points] to make sure they are set correctly.
• Try inserting your SIM card into another phone to make sure it is not the problem.
• Some (but by no means all) users were helped by resetting their settings to factory settings.

Problem: slow, inaccurate GPS signal, lost coordinates

Problems with establishing GPS coordinates on the Nexus 5 are by no means uncommon. Some owners report that the phone can quickly establish location coordinates, but once movement begins, the coordinates are lost or become inaccurate.

Possible solutions:

• Go to [Settings > Location] and make sure the mode is set to High Accuracy.
• Reboot into and make sure the problem is not with a third-party application.
• If all else fails, contact your retailer for a replacement device.

Problem: Dead pixels on the display

Since the appearance of the Nexus 5, many complaints have appeared online about dead pixels on the smartphone screen. If you find a dot on your screen that never changes, then it may be a dead pixel. Before you panic, try checking your phone's display using the Dead Pixel Test app. If the dot does not disappear even when the screen is turned off, then most likely it is dust that has gotten onto the screen. Nevertheless, solution will be the same: contact the seller for a replacement device.

Problem: Power button is unstable

Many users complain that the Nexus 5's power button is wobbly (this is especially noticeable when you shake the phone, press the button, or when the phone vibrates). If the button just moves a little in its groove, that's normal, but if it stays there frankly unsteady, then you might want to consider replacing it. And yes, don’t be confused by some of the camera module’s instability - it’s caused by optical image stabilization, and you shouldn’t worry about it.

Crutch: buy a case. In most cases, it will prevent the buttons from “fidgeting” in the groove, and in some cases it will completely close them.

Solution: The only complete solution is to contact a service center or seller to replace the smartphone.

Problem: Can't connect to Wi-Fi network

Wi-Fi problems occur in every new device that comes on the market, and there are many reasons for this phenomenon. In the case of the Nexus 5, users report that the WiFi connection drops as soon as the smartphone moves even a short distance away from the router.

Crutch:
Most likely, the network will work normally after you turn Offline Mode on and then off, reconnect Wi-Fi, or restart your phone.

Possible solutions:

• To begin, turn off the router for 10 seconds, then turn it on again.
• Go to [Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi], select the problematic network and click “Forget network”, and then reconfigure it.
• Make sure your router has updated firmware and check your security settings. You may need to contact your provider for the correct settings.
• Try changing the frequency range. To do this, go to [Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi], press the “Menu” button and select first “Advanced” and then “Wi-Fi frequency range”, where try switching to 2.4 or 5 GHz instead of automatic settings (after this, do not forget to set the appropriate range on your router). Also make sure you don't have the "Avoid poor connection" checkbox ticked.
• Use the Wi-Fi Analyzer app to check how busy your channel is and switch to another if necessary.

Problem: Quiet speakers and poor sound quality

Many Nexus 5 users found their speaker to be too quiet; At the same time, someone also began to complain about the sound quality, including echo and muffling. The speaker is located behind the left grille on the bottom edge of the Nexus 5 (the right grille is the microphone). The first thing to check in this case is whether you are covering the speaker with your hand. You can also try listening to the same track in different applications: many people notice a difference in sound quality, which indicates a problem with the software.

Possible solutions:

• It is likely that a software update will solve the problem, but until it does, you can try other options.
• If you use Google Play Music, then go to settings and turn on the equalizer. After this, the sound quality improved on some smartphones; at the same time, for further improvement, you can experiment with the settings.

Problem: The battery drains quickly and takes a long time to charge

Battery life is another constant complaint that comes up in reviews of any smartphone. Frankly, the Nexus 5's battery is mediocre, and most people have to charge it every day. And some users also complain about unpredictable behavior and problems directly during charging.

Crutch: Buy an extra battery pack or portable charger.

Possible solutions:

• If your charger gets hot/makes a strange buzzing sound or simply can't charge your smartphone, it's most likely faulty. Try charging your smartphone using a different charger and see if there is a difference. Also try turning off your Nexus 5 and charging it by connecting it to your computer.
• Fully charge your smartphone. Once you unplug the charger, turn off your phone and then turn it on again.
• You can clear the cache partition. Before you begin, back up all necessary files and turn off your Nexus 5. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up and Down buttons and the Power button simultaneously for 10 seconds; After the Android screen appears, press the volume down button to find Recovery mode; To select the desired partition, press the power button. When you see the android with a red triangle, hold down the power button and press the volume up button. As a result, the Android System Recovery screen will appear in front of you. Release all buttons and use the volume rocker to select “wipe cache partition”.
• There is a possibility that some application is causing the problem. Some people have found this problem to be related to photo apps. You can start uninstalling apps one at a time or do a factory reset, and then selectively reinstall the apps you want, paying attention to changes in your phone's behavior.

Problems with the camera

Complaints about the Nexus 5's camera pop up in almost every review, so it's not surprising that we had no trouble finding these complaints on the forums as well. People usually complain about blurry photos, slow autofocus, shutter lag, and poor picture quality. The general consensus is that this is more of a software issue than a hardware issue, and in some ways that's a good thing because it should be fixed with a software update. The only downside is that you will have to wait for some time for this update.

Possible solution: Wait for updated software from Google to come out. You can check available updates in the [Settings > About phone > Software updates] menu.

This post is for those users of Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X smartphones who are faced with the so-called “bootlap” problem. That is, if for some reason your smartphone constantly reboots, then this is a bootloop, and you have come to the right place.

In fact, this problem is not that uncommon. Judging by user reviews on the Internet, after updating the operating system to Android 8, the models And Bootlap began to occur much more often. Moreover, sometimes for no apparent reason.

Therefore, having studied profile branch On the XDA forum, we discovered one interesting script (author R3tro7) that helps eliminate this problem by interfering with the software of the Cortex A57 processor.

The program is relatively simple, but it has several significant disadvantages:

Firstly , the use of the script leads to the loss of all data stored in the smartphone’s memory;

secondly , in which case the official service center will be regarded as a reason for refusing free warranty repairs;

And thirdly , the script greatly reduces system performance (for Nexus 6P - by half, for Nexus 5X - by about one and a half times).

Therefore, we strongly advise using this method only in cases where none of the traditional methods work. Of course, each user makes the decision to use this software at his own peril and risk, and is responsible for all consequences.

how to fix bootlap on Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X with Android 8

As we have already said, the method is quite simple to implement: you need to download and run the script on the affected smartphone and then carefully follow the instructions on the screen. That is:

• download the ZIP file to your computer from the author’s page on the XDA forum (here
