Problem

My Nexus 5 is having problems regarding the power button. First sign was the phone was stuck in a black screen. After connecting the phone to a power supply it got stuck in a reboot loop. After disconnecting the power supply and waiting for a few hours, I was able to boot normally again. But now the power button is every so sensitive. By pressing the button once, the camera becomes active (which is supposed to become active after two presses on the power button) or the phone shows the Power Off button, which is supposed to appear after a long press on the power button.

Environment

  • Nexus 5, Model LG-D821
  • Android 6.0.1
