<title><![CDATA[Nexus 5: Connected and responsive, but not charging. "0%, not charging"]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm fixing this Nexus 5 right now, and I've tried everything. I've replaced the charging flex cable, but that wasn't the problem. I've cleaned every component with isopropyl thingy. Still no result. The telephone shuts off immidiatly if i unplug the AC adapter. I've tried checking the voltage on the battery input on the motherboard, and it was 4,30V. Is that correct? And now I'm stuck, I have no solution on my mind and that's why I'm asking you!</p>

<title><![CDATA[Nexus 5: Camera's pictures quality awful after screen replacement]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I just replaced my wife screen after drop damage. It's one of the easiest phone to fix and replace. everything went back to normal except the image quality are terrible now for rear camera. I don't know what happened! Color, brightness and glare all weird. I checked the housing plate and the lens from inside everything looks in place even ribbons. All I can see there is not good light controlling.</p>

<p>Front camera is giving me natural colors better than the rear, and even nexus 4 rear camera is much better and I easily can tell the different!!!</p>

<p>Any ideas will help is appreciated,</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<title><![CDATA[Nexus 5: Nexus 5 rebooting randomly]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My Nexus 5 is restarting on its own. Not bootlooping - it is often able to complete the booting process and be usable for a few minutes before restarting again. This happens regardless of whether the phone uses battery power or is plugged in. Tried flashing it back to stock (factory images: KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow) - it didn't help, so it looks like a hardware issue.  When first turned on after being idle for an extended period it usually works longer before rebooting, then reboots become more frequent.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Nexus 5: Nexus 5 Touch Screen stopped working]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>okay so I dropped my phone in water, I know, lame but here is what is going on:</p>

<p>After I did that, I opened the phone up, placed it on rice for a few days.</p>

<p>It turns on fine, it rings, I get notifications and for about 5 minutes, I was able to use it but then the touchscreen stopped working.</p>

<p>It does not recognize touch at all. It did off and on for a few more times after that.</p>

<p>I placed it in rice again for another day with no improvement.</p>

<p>I am wondering if someone can help me diagnose the issue so I can do the repairs myself. I do not know what to look for in terms of whether or not I need a new touch screen all together or a new digitizer?</p>

<p>HELP!</p>

<p>Changing the flex cable solved this problem!</p>

<title><![CDATA[Nexus 5: Rear camera not detected]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago the rear camera stopped working on my Nexus 5. I tried several resets (both soft and hard) and even flashing older system images, to no avail (ironically, after a hard reset and an image flash the camera app disappears).</p>

<p>I decided to buy a new camera module to see if that would fix it. Now, with that installed, I managed to get the camera app back up, but it says that there is no rear facing camera on the device. As a note, the front facing camera still works perfectly.</p>

<p>I've double checked the connections multiple times and the camera module is connected solidly.</p>

<p>Has anyone else encountered this issue before? And, is it possible I just got a bad camera module or do you think I would need to replace the whole logic board?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I replaced the lcd assembly on my nexus 5 after dropping it and smashing the glass. The screen works great but I now have no service or 3g. wifi works fine btw.</p>

<p>I've tried opening it again but I cant see any missed connectors.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure the white and black cables are for BT/WIFI, so where abouts is the antenna? or where else is the circuitry involved? or just any advice?</p>
