Anyone seeing these bugs? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1. After leaving the phone idle for a while, for example overnight, I find the phone completely non responsive. I know it is on as I saw the notification led flashing. I had to hold power and vol down to restart. This has happened twice.
2. Loses WiFi overnight. It shows no active WiFi connections when I wake up. I have to manually refresh the ap list. I have WiFi set to always on with the battery optimization enabled. This morning when I tried to disable and then restart WiFi, the phone rebooted.
Wondering if I should wipe and flash the stock image. I'm currently unlocked and rooted with cwm touch via the nexus toolkit.

Not getting that either. Did have a problem today with Wi-Fi but I think it's because I'm using public Wi-Fi that needs you to sign in.

I'm running completely stock. Have you flashed a custom ROM?

Not quite seen your WIFI issue, but very similar. I've had the N4 apparently holding on to hotspots even though I'm miles away (and another hotspot should be picked up). Switching off WIFI is quick, but putting back on, the phone seems to take about a minute, and it then connects to the proper hotspot at that point.
Every day or two, I find myself putting the phone into and out of Airplane mode just to clear the radios and start again because a change in location has not been reflected. Mostly WIFI, but sometimes cell too (I get the grey reception symbol)

I'm running stock but I unlocked and rooted using mskip's toolkit. I also have cwm touch 6.0.0.19 to replace the stock recovery. In addition, I added the JB AOSP browser.
If these issues continue I will probably just do a nandroid backup, wipe and flash the stock image.

I actually haven't seen that issue but I don't use public hotspots.

Trouble with Juice Defender and Cyanogenmod

Ever since I got Cyanogenmod 7 working on my phone, I've had a lot of trouble getting my 3g to toggle back on after turning my screen on. I'm using JD for the toggle so is it a Juice Defender problem or a modem problem?

I have the same problem, I just switch to airplane mode and back and it fixes it. It only happens periodically, it works as it should more often then not. I attribute it to CM7 awesomeness. At least JD works, Green Power won't even try to manage the data connection.
Ah I wouldn't have thought to try that. Yeah I love this rom compared to stock so I'm more than willing to put up with a few gripes.

I have this same problem and run JD but it's not a JD problem. I would say it happens to me once or twice a day(usually when the phone is powered on for more than 6 hours without a reboot). A lot of people have this and toggling back and forth between airplane mode fixed the problem pretty damn easily.
If you want a quick way to do this go to
settings
cyanogenmod settings
interface
notification power widget
widget buttons
select airplane mode
Now you have airplane mode in your pull down bar and you can quickly enable it and disable it when this happens.
I have two problems relating to this. My 3g wont turn on automatically when someone sends me an MMS. Usually my stock ROM would turn the 3g on and download the MMS, but now I just receive a text message from a number rather than the name of the contact, and I need to press a Download button to download the picture/MMS. Then I have to turn on my 3G manually, then I have to press the Download button, and only then do I receive the picture/MMS.
Also, It has been happening quite often now. My 3G does not turn on, even when I turn it on manually so I have to reboot my phone an only then will it turn on.
Im using CM7 nightly, latest one up to date on HTC Desire HD.
Hope someone fixes this!

Bluetooth Issues

So, for some reason, my Bluetooth doesn't function properly as it should, which is weird, since my phone is still on stock, and the only modifications I've made are unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. I also installed Power Toggles, but I don't think that's the issue at hand.
Pretty much, whenever I turn the bluetooth on, it tries for a while to turn it on, then gives up and won't let me turn it on. At that point, I have to restart the phone, and when it reboots back up, the bluetooth is on without me having to start it up. Then it works properly, but if I wish to use the bluetooth again the next day, I have to repeat the process of rebooting the device. Any ideas?
I had this issue when I Downloaded a FM radio app from the Play store to see if it would work. I just deleted the app. Went into safe mode then into normal mode and it fixed it.
Don't know what you case can be. But you can try going into safe mode and back to normal and see if there are any different results.

I had this same problem after installing Torque, and using it with default settings that auto-enabled/disabled bluetooth. After turning all that crap off it is back to normal.
I use bluetooth for audio playback and an hf/A2DP headset dialing via Motospeak, as well as Torque with a bluetooth odb2 interface, and it all works perfectly since disabling Torque's auto-bluetooth settings. My only issue is that it takes Motospeak a bit long to restore audio playback after a hf call command.
I would look for an app that you have that is the controlling bluetooth on/off.
I wonder if it isn't a software bug. I have the same issue but I don't have any apps that are causing the issue of atleast from what I can tell. I'm also unlocked and rooted.
I removed Bluetooth from Power Toggles. It's been two days and all seems well. Now we wait.

Similar problems here, the weirdest thing is idk which app causes that. Because I didnt install that much. Only thing I notice is it happened when the wifi is on.. Does anyone have similar problem??
Same problem here. I have a lot of apps but none I can think of that do anything with Bluetooth.

Nope, still doesn't work.
Try going into safe mode.. See if it works, and then go back to normal mode.

Nothing yet? I'm just curious as to whether it's just a few people experiencing this, or a lot, since there doesn't seem to be that much talk about it.
I use Bluetooth everyday on my way home from work just to connect to my Bluetooth headset. Out of 14 days I may get one day where I turn Bluetooth on that I don't have to reboot for it to work.

So we're on 4.2.2, I've went through safe mode and back a few times, and I've uninstalled and installed applications having to do with the Wi-Fi. Problem still seems to be there. It's just somewhat of a hassle to have to power down my phone completely, then start it back up, everytime I get into my car. I feel a hard reset mighttt fix the issue, but just looking for another way as of now.
My phone also have the same problem.. the bluetooth won't turn on.. stock 4.2.2 locked bootloader and not root yet.. anyone has a solution..

Anyone know why I lose mobile connection every 10 seconds?

I am on AT&T, and every couple of days when on mobile data, my data will cycle from connected to not-connected every 10 seconds, making using the data useless. The only way I have found to fix it, is to turn on airplane mode, and then turn off airplane mode, and then it connects fine. I have looked at my logcat, but I do not see anything. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
CP
what ROM, kernel are you using.
people seem to never add it into their signatures anymore. thats why people do it for a reason, so it helps debug problems.
Sorry, and latest faux kernel and stock rom.

I have the same problem on stock rom and kernel. It's worse in NYC vs. Connecticut. I think it's also causing msm_hsic_host wake lock which is killing my battery.

Completely stock and same problem. Airplane mode toggle is my only fix too. It's got to be a software issue.

This is probably the simplistic explanation, but may not be the case: faulty SIM card.

WiFi hangs and drops

Hi
I'm currently having a problem with my S4 that is driving me mad.
Ever since I got the phone I've had a bit of a problem with the WiFi connection. I've flashed a few kernels and some seems to help the problem more than others but it's still there.
What happens is the phone connects to WiFi no problems. Then maybe after a few minutes of use the phone won't give me any data. If I search a Web page it just hangs and then says unable to display web page. I then have to knock the WiFi off and back and and it cures the problem temporarily.
Sometimes the WiFi connection can be fine and last a few hours without hanging. Other times it can last a few minutes. The WiFi icon always remains on the screen and the arrows act as if data is getting processed but nothing ever happens. The odd time it will also kick itself off the WiFi and reconnect.
It's driving me mad having to constantly knock it on and off. I'm missing WhatsApp messages for hours because of it also.
Is it a common problem? If not the phone
is still under warranty so I will have to send it back but then that's me phone less for god knows how long
Any help would be great.

if you are rooted, flash this http://www.adrive.com/public/8DJWtV/WifiFix.zip
its a fix that sorted out my wifi problems
I think you should revert back to the latest stock and reset your modem. There might be some fancy settings in your modem software that need to be turned off. I read that somewhere but can't remember which ones. Just search on here.:cyclops:
Hi guys, sorry I've just seen the replies and thank you for taking the time
I shall have a blast at both your solutions and report back.
Thank you again
Well I tried the WiFi fix but that hasn't cured my problem. Today I will flash to stock rom and then re-root and see if that makes a difference. If not its off for repair under warranty and the old Nokia 8210 will be coming out of retirement for a few days lol

May be a fix?
1) type *#0011#
2) press menu button and select wifi
3) turn off power saving mode
4) restart
Alternative
1) download terminal emulator
2) type ping google.com

Hi jehbrian.
I've never heard of this fix but I'm willing to give it a go (whats the worst that can happen lol).
Done the above and indeed you get to a point where Wifi power saving mode is on. I've knocked it off and will see how I get on in the next couple of days. It does make sense that the power saving mode could be killing the Wifi every now and again.
Thanks for the tip and have a pleasant day :fingers-crossed:
I had tried that one. It spends about 10% more battery.

Does it?
Surely there must be something else that can compensate for this loss if it means the Wifi actually works. GPS? Bluetooth? Screen brightness?
My phone is on my dock so can't verify the loss of battery.

I've never noticed the battery drain... besides, S4's battery life is bad anyway.

Wifi Issues: Keeps Turning off & On

I've seen other people having issues with wifi but haven't read of anyone finding a fix. I'm watching the on/off switch go back and forth as my G2 continues to try and establish a connection. It connects to my router for a second, then disconnects...This has been keeping up all day.
Any suggestions?
Already reset my router. Tried to WPS push button method.

Did that. Nothing. Also tried to connect to the public wifi at work, same problem.
turn off battery saving stuff like switch off wifi when not using
Has anyone have a solution to this?
My G2 did the same thing as the OP says. It will turn itself on and off (about 5 second between each on and offs) but ONLY if the bluetooth is turned OFF. If the bluetooth is ON, no problem whatsoever. I usually left my bluetooth ON because I have a bluetooth headset and I want it to be ready every-time I want to use them. But, this night, when I turn off the bluetooth, the wifi keeps going on and off, and yes, battery drained and no internet connection for me
Please help if anyone have a solution for this. I'm in stock rom (D802) 4.4.2 rooted, with xdabbeb's camera mod, the only "root" apps that I've installed so far. Reboot and full power off is the first thing that I do, still no cure.
