Hello guys,
I'm having a Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1 that keeps restarts when I'm returning to home screen from an app (for example a game) and the device view mode is changed from landscape to portrait.
I tried to fix this issue by performing a factory reset however the issue is still present.

What are your thoughts on this ? Is a hardware problem or OS problem ?

Software IMO. Try with another launcher.

IMHO, 4.4.4 is the way to go for now. Especially if rooted with xposed, xprivacy and gravitybox.
Well I'm back on the 5.1.1 wagon. WIth Elemental X. I had the reboots happen in 4.4.4. I changed to a different phone case. This case doesnt cover the power button. I haven't had a reboot in a long time. I think its my power button.

Time for a new phone! Oh well Nexus 5. Its been a great ride. Really love this phone. Don't want to fix it though.
