If capacitive buttons are automatically working without pressing, then it's not digitizer or touch issue.

There is some current leak or short circuit (due to poor insulation most probably) near the logic board area that controls the capacitive keys and similar stuff, and that is causing capacitance, making capacitive keys work automatically.

I don't think it has anything to do with protective case or something with poor network connectivity.

Bro now capacitive buttons are completely dead but the interesting thing is that why after using Mobile data for around 10 min my mobile goes mad and capacitive keys start automatic operations then I have to switch off mobile data and after 5-10 min it again started working normally but with capacitive buttons dead

And how much a Nexus 5x 16gb in 9.5/10 condition should cost with extra protectors covers and otg etc

Did you made backup of your EFS? If not then I'm afraid your phone Imei is gone.

Thanks for the mention.
@512a

Flash back to stock ROM. Don't boot it yet.
Extract the modem.bin file from the ROM and flash it TWICE using Odin. Then go into recovery and wipe data and reboot the phone, if the IMEI is back, well and good, if not, well then you're screwed.

The problem is, re-writing the IMEI on an Exynos device isn't as easy as it is on a Snapdragon device. You need specific tools, which cost a lot and not everyone has.

Get your IMEI from Google Dashboard and go to a software shop and tell them to re-write it. Should cost about 500 - 1000 rs.

Well tried that already but no luck , and I have imei written , gonna visit any software repairing lab and see what happens.

Hahaha, don't worry. I just posted it to annoy Apple fans and you got trapped in my plot.

iPhones being closed source are indeed more secure, but to be honest, nothing is absolutely secure on internet.

Everything has vulnerabilities and weak spots, no matter whatever is done, there is always some loopholes left, because it's practically impossible to make something perfect.

The guy is not a hacker, he is an Apple fan with more than 2.5 million subscribers, but he is one of the least biased Apple fans, because he points out good and bad stuff about Apple products equally and fairly, unlike most YouTube Apple fans who believe there is nothing better than Apple products in this world.

Well yes i agree that nothing is secure wat i just meant was that its difficult to do stuff like this to an apple product compaired to an android phone for a normal person like us but yeah even fb was hacked many times by professionals thats an other case..!! N yeah its good for those peeps who have almost no knowledge about security n how to counter that.. anyways i have heard that HTC is launching a phone too with no 3.5mm jack n its also not offering the earpads like apple [emoji12] apple has started the whole new level trend lol [emoji23][emoji23]

With custom ROMs especially, backup of EFS is always necessary.

No idea at all about Nexus 5X market these days, but Nexus usually have very less market here, so you will get it very easily in ~18-20 for 16GB.

I understand it, that's hardware level issue, mostly to do with touch controller IC or something related to that. Local repairing shops will confirm it in minutes by testing with multimeter. It's not lcd or digitizer fault mostly. It's usually more complex than that.

True. Those master hackers, instead of hacking into phones, hack the whole servers and steal info.

Like instead of going into your phone to steal your email password, they will hack the whole email server.

Apple marketing strategies are rebust, that's why it seems as if they brought revolution in so many stuff. They just re invented existing stuff with better refinements in a more presentable way.

Moto Z and LeeCo LE 2, LeeCo Max 2 etc and maybe a few others ditched headphone jack even before iPhone 7. But overall, i like headphone jacks!

HTC M8 launched dual cameras in 2014 and everyone laughed at them, now Apple launched it and now it's revolutionary feature. Apple is all about marketing.

[moizadil]

The headphone jack in itself is a big selling feature for many, for me it is. I'm using htc phones for 4 years and now I may have the ditch Htcs. It's a very bad move on htc's part.

Does switching from the analog 3.5mm jack to a digital one make any noticeable difference? I don't think people have the money to buy earphones/headphones that would make you hear the difference.

Wait till Black Friday sale, it should be around 20k new.
You can check my previous posts in this thread regarding review. This is the best phone under 25k mark. It's camera is comparable to iPhone7 & Galaxy S7 (for still photos).
