Unresponsive/rebooting tab

Soo ever since friday my tab has been going wild..
Itll just randomly become unresponsive and then reboot.
It started once i hooked it up to charge on a ferry... which makes me worry. however, i do have chrome on it. I figured after it came out of beta itd be fine, and its run fairly well up until recently.
Im stock rooted, running latest ota. Locked boot loader... though I tried to unlock before, but since im a c4okct there was a time where my sn wasnt recorded, and that's when I attempted to unlock.
Now, im worried that my tab is possibly fried, and im stuck without warrenty.
Does anyone have any ideas either way?
Thank you in advance and sorry for the rambling, i just tried to cover all the bases.
Ps - isnt ics supposed to be built off 3.0 kernel? I just noticed that this tab apparently is built on 2.6

Soo, things seem to work better now...

i have the same problem but my touch screen is responsive

Over the past several weeks my Pad would randomly decide the touch screen will no work forcing a paper clip restart. Tonight it has decided it will not recognize either battery is charged and will not see the once in the dock. Do I have a Lemon?

I did a factory reset, and all seems well so far.
Just hate the stock launcher, and I can't get trebuchet to work just right anymore.

When I reset my tab it at first works well. Then as it goes on it just goes to hell. Its main problem is graphicly demanding things, like gmail animations make it crash, and so does Google Music. Google Play store also is pretty laggish (I notice a trend with google products). I want to unlock it and install CM to see if it fixes anything, but I'm worried about losing warranty. Any thoughts?

My tab too now resets it's self, and I have the issue of power off selection appearing on screen. Also, any pressure on the top left of the screen causes a reboot. Bought from eBay a month ago. US tab in the UK, i bet asus won't help me! Fault stared this week. Not built to last!

Tried reset but still have the issue. The power off icon randomly pops up and then it reboots. 3 times today so far. Followed the guide in this thread and hope it's fixed with updated firmware. Regret buying now, dull screen with horrible bleed, poor io performance, and reboots make it super unreliable.

4.1.2 broke swiping?...

Is anyone else having problems with swiping left and right etc since 4.1.2?
My device recognises the swipe but doesn't complete ie when ctolling through home screens the page won't move to the next page it will stay where it is and you just see the page move a little bit and then go back.
Hope that makes sense.
Please reply if you're having this problem or not
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I've noticed this as well since 4.1.2 but it only happens for the first few seconds after switching the screen on. I've had to apply a bit more force in swiping to bring down the Notifications or to go from screen to screen on Home and the app drawer. Gently flicking the screen doesn't work and stuff like Notifications just flips back up, but after 20-30? seconds it works fine again.

I've noticed this aswell, but don't think the new update is the cause as I was experiencing it before.
Just out of curiosity do you use another device such as HOX? Because I have a HOX, and the swiping is much smoother on that, flicking goes from screen to screen rather than a drag which the Nexus required, if you do use another device perhaps its just the change in device like my case ?

Hmmm.
Cant decide whether or not to take it back and try a replacement.
As said above i have to now use a full swipe across the screen with my finger while holding the tablet in the other hand. I cant just use one hand and flick it with my thumb like i used to be able to.
Ive done a factory reset but that hasnt helped at all.
Ill upload a video of the problem soon so you guys can compare it to yours.

OK heres a video of the problem...
Let me know if you guys have the same

I've noticed that my home screen is not as responsive, though I can't tell in your video if it's as severe. I have to make a strong swipe to move to the next page or it will just bounce back to the current page I'm on. So sometimes it takes me a couple times to switch screens since I'm used to it normally changing. Hope that makes sense.
I run CNA 3.8.0 which uses 4.1.2; I haven't noticed that problem previously on 4.1.1
I also have to swipe the notification bar further in order for it to stick. I used to only have to go 1/3 to less than 1/2 of the screen for it to work.

I have the same issue
Rom is pa 2.23 kernel isn't changed

I have %100 same issue. Just like in your video.
I hope google will solve this with 4.2

Same issue, would agree that it is worse for the first 20-30 seconds after waking up the screen. Really is quite a pain.

This definitely happens for me, and it definitely started with the 4.1.2 update. It's not a big deal to me, but I can't believe Google didn't catch it.

I hope google solve this with 4.2. Because it's very annoying .!!

Glad its not just my device thats broke.
Lets hope 4.2 sorts it out.
How did google not notice this when they were doing tests...

Only place I notice this is home page and app drawer. New with 4.1.2, and quite irritating. I blame the Apple rubber band patent!

I've got a new c9O 32GB and mine does the same thing. Its better if I use one hand to hold it from the edges while using the other hand to touch. Using one hand to hold and swipe/scroll/ anything is an effort in futility. And its not just at the Home screen/App menu for me. It also locks up completely from time to time. Do we know what kind of memory the 32GB model uses? Not happy about this at all. Asus really screwed up on this one.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA Premium HD app

I have this issue as well. My first nexus which was a 16gb didnt have this problem but my current one which is a 32gb does this, especially with the notification bar which is quite annoying. Not sure if its because of 4.1.2 or if its the hardware itself because it updated immediately when i got it so didnt have a chance to use the 32gb before it updated.

has anybody tried the 4.2 update to see if it has fixed this?

Bump . I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail from Asus.

I think the problem is gone in 4.2.
At least I have not seen it yet - swipe across half the screen works again to change page.

I still get it in 4.2 :crying:

Received my Nexus 4 today...beautiful phone. A couple questions

Made the jump from the Nexus S to Nexus 4 - great upgrade for me. The phone is beautiful, from its screen to design, and to performance. Got 4.3 on it right away and factory reset the phone.
So, I had a couple of questions..
1. In the recent apps drawer, shouldn't there be a 'clear all' button or icon? I have to manually swipe each one out.
2. Is there a way to change the toggle settings in the notification drawer? Also what about the lock screen shortcuts? (on stock)
3. Is daydreaming bad for the screen (if it stays on for 8 hours a night)?
4. Very very minor, but I believe I noticed 1 super tiny dead pixel. I'm quite sure it is. But it's not noticeable, but I know it's there. Should I leave it alone or send it back, or whatever?

1. No there is no such button, but you can flash the JSS15J build in android section it has that button.
2.no way to change the toggle settings, for that you can use power toggles it has everything.
3.yes it for battery life.
4. depends on you. If you are fine with it move on. All the best.

(1 & 2) I think you're too used to aosp and cm builds, stock has minimal customization.

welcome aboard
got same upgrade from NS to N4
but just a question, why purchase a pure google and not root and flash roms?
mine stays official for about 20 mins after first boot, as someone says, too accomplished with coocked one to stay on stock

Haha. Not just yet. I want to experience stock first. It's going smooth and the 4.3 update seems to do quite a bit of what the 'Franco' kernel did. It has good battery life from what I've experienced only so far (got 2.5 hours of screen time from 40% to 1%, so should get 4 hrs - but only wifi).
Perhaps down the road.

I don't get it. I downloaded a couple of apps and one flashed the screen to fix it. Did not work. How is it supposed to even fix it?

Apps can't fix dead pixels, they sometimes can fix stuck ones however.

Nexus 4 touchscreen issue!

Hey guys, i bought my nexus 4 a week ago and it is great but i'm having random issues with touchscreen. Suddenly the screen stop responding or it is just hard to press. Besides trying to unlock it at PIN, when i press on a number, another number gets pressed. This freaking me out and very annoying. This often happened on Android 4.3 but i didn't have much time to know if it is the same issue on 4.2.2 cuz i bought and update directly via Google stock image. I flashed it twice but no hope. Hope this is a software issue or an app causing it. Any ideas?

I've the same issue, but only when the phone is charging.
I've tried several chargers ( USB cable and A/C adapter ), but the issue still remain.
I will bring my N4 to lg support.

Same thing here; while I'm charging the phone, sometimes, touchscreen responsiveness is not good. Unplug the phone and I'm good to go.

Same! My got shipped from Ireland. I bought it 2 weeks ago.

if that happens while charging..its normal because the screen register your fingers heat as a touch. so while charging the phone is hotter than it usually is which makes the touch screen not as sensitive...if its not charging and still the sensitivity is low...the only explanation that comes to my mind is..your phone (screen) is hotter than usual maybe?? if not then its a problem with your device because my sensitivity increased after 4.3 update...

Hi guys. I had this problem with stock image too.
Since, I installed CyanogenMod and I never had any problem at all. I know it doesn't really solve the problem but if you are ok with unlocking your Nexus 4, this is a very great thing to do.

Lines on note camera? Is it just a faulty device?

Not sure if new threads needed couldn't find a post to on it. Anyways my camera on the rear seems fine in daylight buy when the light drops I get loads of lines flickering. These show in picture below (on the roof top and bottom of windows right across the screen) . This is brand new phone (3 days old)
Should I take it back?

Dont ...... take it back yet. The next device u will get most likely will have the same issue.
This particularity happens when the device is connected to a wifi network. Try again while disconnected from a wifi network.
I also have this problem and changed the device the same day i got it. Same issue tough.

i got those once too. I was in my house and now that i think of it i was connected to wifi. Is it possible that they overlooked such a huge bug?

I have the same issues yes.. I think this is a big manufacturer bug when you are connected on WIFI.. not cool samsung, hope you can fix it with a software update but I think its hardware related..

I read this too late. I took the device back today and I'm now on my second note. I have literally just got in the door and connected to my wifi. Haven't tested it on wifi yet but there was no lines in town in dimmed light.
Another reason I took it back was because I kept having unresponsive power and home key buttons.
This was temperamental but still an issue.
Just did the 2 updates from Samsung hopefully this one will be alright

I had the same issue with my ex note 3. I guess all of them are same. I was almost killing shop assistant while trying to get new one. You will see the same lines when you are reacording.

Solution
I added a simple tasker rule to disable wifi and mobile data while the camera app is running. I also mutes the dial tone volume to get rid of shutter sounds...
This phone needs some patching until rooting becomes possible without loosing warranty.
I am so pissed at Samsung. Their hardware team created perfection only to be ruined by the monkeys who make their software

I couldn't agree with you more.. Very disappointing that I spend a lot of money on a device i believe to be probably the best on the market for it to be ruined by something as simple as taking pictures.
But. . Touch wood.. This one hasn't produced the same lines... It did however lock up one on the day i got it requiring battery pull.

@JAMIE1000UK what's your new phone's software version? Mine's still MJ1 and I'm guarding it like gold, because with this I still have some chance of rooting, when I gather up the courage...

I'm running mj7 too. I'm pretty much the same. . Holding back on root.
Having said that. When I took out the phone I got phones4u care with it.
Meaning I get a direct replacement no quarrels within 21 days of purchase so shouldn't be a problem.

People are reporting that it only happens when using the camera when using wifi.
I took the device back as I use my camera every day. The bloke in the shop knew exactly what I was talking about before I'd even shown him the images.
Must be something in the configuration. Our maybe just the camera module.
No idea. Id take it back on Warrenty.
My new replacement is Absolutely fine.

Mine happened on the original device I had after I'd fully updated it.
I'm on same firmware on the new device and I've never had the problem. Baring in mind that the phones arrived from same store on the same firmware probably from the same batch that they had delivered. .
