I like my N4 alright so far. I am having a problem with the GPS, though. It takes a long time to lock in on my location. I'm just checking in Maps, and it seriously takes 30 seconds for the GPS to lock on. Once it does lock on it's solid, but the time it takes to pinpoint my location is disappointing. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, are there any possible solutions for this problem? Do you think I could get a warranty replacement for it, even though the GPS locks on eventually?
I did a factory reset and it locks on a little faster now (~10s)
Well, I'm having the same issues again. I used GPS Status, and after 10 seconds I'm locked onto 3/18 satellites, 5/18 after 15 seconds, and 8/18 after 30 seconds. It's really annoying. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Hardware? Could it be solved through software? I've tried FasterGPS, and it doesn't really help. TIA
I always get an instant ~9m lock.

Yes, I got the same issues.
It is very annoying. I don't want to buy Korean products again.
For my iPhone 4 and One X, they all lock my location very quick and accurate.
But for Nexus 4, a lot of problems.

I don't have a gps fix issue but have a different question for those who have been driving around using their nexus.
I have been driving around using Google navigation (gps enabled) and music playing in the background on my Nexus 4. The odd thing is even though I have the usb car charger plugged in the battery continues to drain.
I went and bought a usb charger that supports 2.1 amp charging thinking it might be the old usb car charger not powerful enough but, nope, the battery continues to drain with the 2.1 amp charger.
Something I did notice is that with a 2.1 amp charger is that the phone drains much slower (minus 1% every 25 minutes) and if I turn off the gps the phone actually charges normally like when it's plugged into a wall socket.
When I was on my iphone 4 I could listen to music, use a tomtom app while charging my phone. At the same time. Why does the nexus 4 use so much power with the gps turned on?
Is everyone experiencing this? if not which car charger do you use?

Another thing I have noticed during my gps experience is that if I listen to music and charge the phone at the same time , there is a high pitch noise in the background that is really annoying. Is there a way to stop this from happening? And is this normal?

That's pretty much a maximum-drain scenario, with both the GPS and cell radios going and (during the day, at least) the screen brightness very high. I haven't done a lot of experimenting, but I looked at my battery graph after about a 20-minute trip with GPS and Pandora going, and that time showed an essentially horizontal, but squiggly, line -- my battery was at 80% at the beginning and the end. (It does charge when I'm not using navigation, though.)
I've had a similar scenario with previous phones. Generally speaking, when I'm using navigation, there are significant times when nothing is happening ("Stay on Route XXX for 21 miles"), so I turn off the display during those intervals to let the battery charge. I still get the voice prompt in time to turn the screen back on to see my next turn, so it's not a big loss.
Battery should charge regardless. Is your charger showing up as USB? Many car chargers are optimized for apple standard and only give 500ma to other devices. It is a quick and easy mod to fix it though just need to solder 2 pins together, plenty of tutorials online and discussion under any charger on amazon.

Turning off the screen sounds like a good idea, I will try and see if it improves. Been reading around lots and this seems to be the only solution. Just glad this isn't due to a bug or a defect unit.
Extra information: the 2.1 amp usb car charger when plugged into my phone shows AC charging mode.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I found a solution for my battery draining while using gps problem. The reason seems to be related to the data cable that is supplied with the phone. I bought an off market micro usb cable from eBay and when I used that in my car, whilst using google navigation, the phone charges up as normal.
I hope this help others too.

hi guys, I am so disappointed about GPS. I had Nexus S and on this mobile was the GPS terrible, I was so happy that I will have finaly better GPS fix etc. BUT SO DISAPPOINTED, Today I delete A-GPS data and I couldn't get fix in a 10 minutes...Pls try to use app gps statute and delete A-GPS data and write here if is you gps fix better...When I've got A-GPS data it's the GPS fix not so bad.,...

GPS working perfectly here. Even the very first fix on the very first day happened in <5 sec.
My GPS is terrible. It's been 4 minutes and still nothing. I'm using an app and see that i'm bouncing between 3 and 4 satellite fixes, but you need 6 to be locked on. the signal is also very low for all the satellites.
Could it be that I'm in Taiwan?
I've posted on another forum about this issue, but I didn't see this one until now. I had problems with GPS right away when I got my N4 on 12/10, so I did an RMA and got another Nexus 4 yesterday. New one's GPS is much better. (It has another problem...its volume rocker is wiggly and wobbly! I'll live with it). However, the first N4 seemed to do better yesterday than it had in the 10 days before. I have no idea why....there were no "fixes" put on or anything that would make it work better. Anyway, it sounds like some of you might have defective ones, and maybe you should RMA it. Just be prepared to possibly have a different problem when you get a new one!

Hey guys,
This issue has been brought up in a few threads, but not properly discussed with a solution. Issue is as follows:
X10 + Gps Application = kick ass gps system with beautiful screen
Having the screen on drains the battery heaps, so I bought a in-car charger. The first one I bought was a crappy cheap one, so I replaced it with a good one that charges the phone properly.
THE ISSUE: After about 20 minutes driving, the combination of the display being on and the phone charging causes the phone to get quite hot (about 40 degrees C from my calculations). This triggers a feature in the phone to disable charging until the temperature reduces.
END RESULT: Overall, the battery drains even though the phone is plugged into power. It drains reasonable slow (about 40% for 2 hours driving) but is still frustrating.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I have not rooted my X10, but I was wondering if using the "setcpu" app to reduce the CPU speed to like 233Mhz or something once the temp goes above like 35 degrees may help. Could someone confirm or test for me?
INTERIM SOLUTION: If I really need the phone to charge, I just lock the screen while driving and listen to the voice commands. This results in the phone not overheating and charging whilst driving. If it helps, I use Sygic, Google Navigation and CoPilot, all with the same result of overheating.
It would be great if we could get to an acceptable resolution for this issue as this is a feature that I really want to be able to use often,
Thanks guys, look forward to the replie!
Starsky.
Also, running the .20 firmware on a generic UK x10
im on build .23 - rooted, i just drove about 4 hours with both Google Navigation & Motonav at the same time, had no problems at all!
im not using setcpu.
it might also get warm from the burning sun.... try placing it away from direct sunlight.
Thanks for the reply Joel.
Im in Australia so its winter at the moment, no worries about the sun
I have the phone in cradle connected to the air vent, so I did at first think the hot air from that may be causing it to overheat, so I turned the vent off but it hasnt made a difference.
It seems to be a random amount of time before the phone gets too hot, some days it happens after a an hour, other days it happens after 10 minutes, not sure what causes it. I might try rooting the phone so I can get .23 firmware and see if that helps, thanks for the feedback.
Cheers.
Since you have it placed in front of the vent, the air conditioner blowing cold air on it should be able to keep the temperature down
Sent from my X10a using Tapatalk
You may want to check your car charger output.
If the output is very high, say 1A, your battery will get fully charged much faster, phone & temp will be much higher than say at 500mA.
you definitely do need to check your car charger. I have it plugged in with Navigation on (which leaves the screen on ) and it actually GAINS battery charge. Looking at about 1% every 5 minutes.
I have same problem. Need charging while using navigation but it gets too hot. Will try to mount in front of airblower. Did not have this problem with x1.

I have the same issue here. The phone heats up quite a bit when using Google navigation and it being plugged in to charge. I'm not sure if this is normal.
Using Google uses both the GPS and Data functions and might be the reason why the phone gets warm. It works harder!
I use IGO 8 and have no overheating issues whatsoever. I am rooted and use SetCPU (using the default "on demand" option).
My battery lasts a very long time anyways, but charging during use it does not cause overheating.
BTW OP! On most cars, even if you have a individual vent closed. If the heating is on to the rest of the vents, that vent will still radiate heat as warm air is blown into the back of the vent fins and they will heat up. Put your hand over this and feel it to confirm. I use a windshield mount and the phone is in direct sunlight a lot of times.
thanks for all your replies.....
quick question, those of you who have said they are able to keep the screen on and charge at the same time...which charger are you using, the official SE one?
If not, can you post a link to where you bought it?
Cheers.
Hi,
My battery info screen is always showing 0% - Unknown. I´ve tried different charging options but with no success.
The battery is charging and when I connect the Nexus 7 to the adapter/pc is says charging - 0% when locked.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Had the same problem. It was not ROM specific. Even though the reading said 0 it was still charging normally (as far as I could tell).
I called Google (I bought my Nexus 7 from the Play Store) and they replaced it. I think that the battery sensor was bad.

Um, weird, I came home after leaving my tablet on my desk all day at home, with about 35% battery.
It was dead. Like really dead. Dead dead. I don't know if it should've run down 35% totally idle; I'd left it for 3 days before without a problem.
Now when I plugged it in, it turned straight on. Google Screen -> Lock Screen. No colored X.
Showed 0% for 10 minutes. The battery graph was especially weird. For one thing, it had locked the stats and showed as still on battery basically. For another, it showed going from the low end of green to instantly dropping to 0%, red. Unplugged it, and it died instantly.
I'm letting it charge now with it off. Quick power button press shows the charging indicator thing.
I actually have an RMA out for this one for the touch screen issues, so it doesn't matter, but still... weird.
battery sensor/calibration issues
Old thread but I thought I'd add to it for other people with the same problem.
I have basically have the same issue on a stock, rooted 16GB Nexus 7. It's highly intermittent.
It first reared it's head about a month after I got the device (in Aug 2012), on the original firmware. My nexus 7 wouldn't (appear to) charge past 25% and would shut itself off after being on for only a few hours. I spent a day trying to fix it, including wiping the device, but nothing worked. Then magically, a few days later, the problem was gone.
The Nexus 7 worked fine for another month or so and then one day, after having charged it for several hours, I noticed that it was reporting a 0% charge. (Firmware was still stock but had been updated) This time it didn't power off, it just misreported it's charge. I could still run it for 10 hours or so, even though it said that it had a 0% charge and that I should connect the charger. I tried the "battery calibrator" mentioned in this thread which didn't seem to work but the next day, the device reported it had a charge. It's been randomly fluctuating between reporting 0% and a having charge every since. Sometimes it works fine for several days but then it will say 0% again.
It hasn't really affected my use of the device but it can be inconvenient not knowing how much charge you have left. Today I finally called Google and explained the problem and they promptly offered to exchange it. Hopefully this is not a design flaw but a faulty component from bad batch..
There's more than a good bit of bad advice in this thread. That anyone would waste people's time by recommending a ”battery calibration” app or to wipe battery stats is disheartening, as it is widely known that they have no correlation to battery indication.
More often than not, it seems, this problem with the N7 involves the battery connector not being properly seated.

I'm also having a similar problem, though when my nexus 7 completely dies from the battery I plug in and right away power back up and when it comes to the home screen with 0-1% charge it right away powers down. I tried leaving it off while pluged in let it charge for 5 mins and then power back up again till I see it have a minimum amount of charge, it seems to work not sure if its ROM or kernel related, I'll keep an eye on it.
There's a helpful article that seems to help other nexus 7 users, hope this helps

Factory reset does not help.
Finally open the back cover (quite easy) and found that the battery cable connector is loose. So I tightened and my tablet is well again.
Hope this help.
Yeah what worked for me was to also unplug my battery. Seemed to correct itself after that. Mine would shut off showing a charge of 60%.

Does the back just unsnap like a regular battery door?
I have issues sometimes. Like the other night it charged all night and when I woke up it was fine, turn off the alarm on it and had breakfast. Came back and it wouldn't come on. Tried all I could without taking it apart. Ended up removing the back cover, unplugging the battery for ten seconds and then it worked fine. Battery was at 100% once it booted up.

For the love of god i can't understand why my Nexus 4 battery is draining while it's off!

I just sent my first Nexus 4 in for RMA on this very issue, got the replacement on Friday, did a charge cycle, charged the phone fully up whilst off, took it off the charger (the official Nexus charger btw), and let it sit for the last day, just turned it on, and it's at 60%.... W T F !!!
This is sooo totally bizarre! I can only assume that this is common to most Nexus 4 (what are the odds of me getting two bad ones - direct from Google - with the exact the same issue?), and that people just aren't noticing, as most people don't leave their phones off after fully charging, and thus just never notice, as the battery behaves perfectly normally under usual use.
I would gratefully appreciate it if people could put this to the test, so I know whether or not to RMA the second device or not....
Was the phone powered down, or just sleeping? Any programs set to auto sync? Check for wakelocks?

Hi All,
I was browsing the web a couple of hours ago and my N10's screen started flashing on/off and after around 10secs the thing crashed/turned itself off. Being an N10 this was not an unusual event! However when I try to turn it back on nothing happens. I can hold the power button / power button with volume buttons pressed and nothing happens. If I plug it in to charge I do not get even get a charging icon.
If it makes any difference I was running the latest Rasaber with Franco's r11 kernel and I know I had at least 40% battery left when it died. I have left it plugged in to the stock charger for around an hour hoping that something might happen but still nothing.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?

Something similar happened to me but I'm totally stock. I Googled and the solution was to recharge the unit via my PC USB instead of plugging it into an outlet. I have no idea what happened but after a few hours of being connected to my PC it was back and working. Hope that helps.
I'm running the same rom and kernel combo. No problems or anything weird happened. It must be hardware related.
Did you try the holding-the-power-button-for-a-minute routine?
I would try to leave it plugged in on the charger for a while and see if it gets fixed. That usually solves all sorts of "wont turn on" problems

is it possible for the tablet to get overheated?
I have had that happen on stock.
My theory: it is linked to the 'battery status not updating'-bug. Your Nexus thinks the tank is still half full, while in fact you are running on fumes. It does not realize this, so no dimming of screen, no low power warning, it just goes full steam ahead, until the battery is totally and utterly and completely depleted.
Then, obviously, it won't start but it will also have trouble charging. You need to charge it for quite some time, sometimes try a different charger, and sometimes keep the power button depressed for a full minute for it to come back to life.
Now when I use my Nexus, I keep an eye on the battery status. If it does not go down, I know I need to reboot for the battery status to be read properly again. It is a bit of a bother, but not too much. The bug only kicks in after the tab has been lying around for a while sleeping. So if I want to watch a movie, I first reboot. As long as I keep using the tab (i.e.watching the movie), the bug won't 'activate' and the tab will shut off properly when it senses the battery is low, in stead of continuing and deep depleting the battery.

So I've started to notice lately that the new Google Maps doesn't seem to be very accurate in terms of the direction I'm facing. If I hold my phone flat in my hand screen up and consider the ear speaker as the needle of the compass and face an object it is off by a considerable amount... Is that the correct way to do it? Wouldn't the top area where the light sensors and earpiece are be the head of the compass? I attached a screen shot to demonstrate how off it is. Also during this time I was locked to 15/19 satellites according to GPS Status and Toolbox. I'm currently on the PAC MAN 23.0.0 Thanks for any input or ideas.

So I guess what I'm looking for is if it's just a software bug, a known issue? Has anyone else noticed this issue? Is there a way to calibrate your compass? Also I hate that now with the new maps I can not click my triangle and it tell me accurate to X meters anymore... Kinda sucks...

Maps on the Nexus 4 has put me in the next town since I git it in November. No update has corrected that unless wireless was turned on. This is not how my Samsung GNex (or even my work iPhone 5) works, which is always accurate. Turn on wireless, or enable Scanning alway available in the Wi-Fi Advanced menu to lessen the gross inaccuracy of the Nexus 4 location service.

Yes. It also saves battery in that it stops Location Services from using your GPS chip, they'll use Wi-Fi location instead to get an estimation.
It's a part of the new Fused Location Provider. In 4.3, there's a setting that will keep Wi-Fi on for location scanning regardless of whether or not you have it manually turned on. I recommend turning that on.

So I was looking at the screen shot and I did have Wi-Fi on. So we've come to the conclusion that the Nexus 4 just has sketchy location svcs? Seems weird. Being Googles flagship device. So there is no way to recalibrate just the compass so that the arrow will be facing the same way I am facing?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Well, I have noticed that while in navigation the arrow auto-locks to the direction of travel on whatever street that you're on—so navigation should be fine.
That is strange that you're having this issue—I'll have to test it on a family members Nexus 4.

I have noticed the same issue ever since updating to the newest Maps. The compass was relatively accurate before the update, but afterwards it's usually off by about 30 to 40 degrees.
Download a compass and see. I suggest a app like GPS status or GPS test. They both have a compass built into them as well as testing and reporting your gps.
I never noticed a issue with the device or maps. Just checked in on the couch right now. The compass is working just fine.
So I did so run a test again last night here at home with Wi-Fi off and downloaded an app called gps essentials that I used with the compass to calibrate. It seems OK for now. I guess it just has its moments.... :what:

I have the same issue. Just uninstalled the new maps. All sorted.
You should know that last Google Maps update messed up the deep sleep state of the system.
I´m running Carbon ROM, but also tested with other 2 ROM´s and the results were the same, around 20%-25% battery drain over night.
I read that disabling "Reporting Location" and "Location History" under Location settings in the Google Settings app(the one with the green icon) helps a little, but still is an issue.
With these settings disabled, I get around 5% battery drain over night. Although the wakelock has decreased, is still there waking up the device. Already reported to Google to see if they can do anything to fix it. The wakelock appears as "Google Services".
Before update I had around 3% battery drain over night(around 8 hours) with WiFi.
It is the same for you guys?.
Thanks

My wife was experiencing the same issue on her Galaxy S4 with the new maps. I'll keep this one as long as I can or until they fix the new one.. Thank you very much.
