Problem: Screen doesn't turn back on until soft reset - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have this problem where my phone's screen (Nexus 4) goes black due to inactivity but but I am unable to turn the screen back on until I do a soft reset (ie, hold down power button for 30 secs). I read that this was an issue on Galaxy Nexus but have not heard of a solution for it. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a solution? Thanks.

i get this same issue and a friend of mine who has one also does . . i'm running the newest build of zylon got the nexus the first week of release tried switching roms kernals etc. still get the issue . . havn't found any test to duplicate it but it happens atleast 3 times a day randomly.. weird stuff for sure
edit. i even tried asking my friend to give me a call when it did it yesterday and it rings all the way through but my phone doesn't turn on or ring

rom / kernel ?

u guys might want to switch the kernels..what you are getting is a SOD...or sleep of death...its mostly due to heavy UVs..so change the kernels...perhaps use stock ones..as they are mostly the best..!

Stock settings are not always the best

Depends what's you want from your phone... Stock might be not that good for battery but I'll go for stability over battery any day for a phone like nexus 4

Thank you. I am using a franco kernel. I would hate to go to stock after using this. Is it possible that it is just the version that I am using? I hope so because I love my battery life using this kernel.

Its possible but nothing can be said... It's better if you return to stock to test if the issue is with your rom or kernel!

Galaxy Note randomly shuts down

Since i upgraded to ICS my note randomly shuts itself down to the point I have to longpress the on/Off button tot boot It up again.. there's no sign of low battery after rebooting ...
Very annoying if you're counting on your alarm clock in the morning to get to work in time
I recently flashed stunner 5.0 and am very pleased with this rom.. I dunno if it's stunner-related or not..
Anyone else experiencing this?

Sounds like an SOD. It is very common with ICS Roms and currently there isn't really a proper fix for it. Essentially, your phone is still on, but its screen won't come back on until you reboot/pull battery. Look up SOD or screen of death or some other combination to search for tips on how to improve its reliability
Flash basband lp6 that will fix your sods
Yeah its weird prior to lp5/6 release I had nothing but sod. But with new ics leak I haven't had any sod with stock or custom roms and I think majority of the community hasn't had many if any like the old leaks.
Which apps are you installing? Are you restoring backup data from titanium backup or similar.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Yep.. restoring like 170 apps using titanium backup ... including user data ... could that be the cause?

Here you go mate flash via cwm http://www.mediafire.com/?zuicr1120j54vx9
Do wipes too before just to be on safe side
the restoring apps could be the issue also. Remember that stunner rom, has alot of built in root apps that cover setting up the cpu and such. If the modem doesnt fix it I would suggest starting over fresh with your apps, and seeing if your problem goes away.
Flashed modem.. and my note seems to have survived the night ..
If I get a sod today .. I'll restart from stock later this evening, and manually restore my apps and/or userdata..
Thnx for the advice

Seems like CPU governors like setcpu and 2nd core combined with energy saving apps tend to mess things up.. removed them all and flashed baseband radio LP6..
Now running a few hours without SOD's..

i would reccomend Stunner 0.5
just for its power saving options you can control 3g data and Wifi at any time to be turned off automaticly so it saves battery though ROM is quite kind with power, anyway install it clean and then just with any CPU managing application set the settings of CPU to 1400 MAX - 200 MIN and ONDEMAND so it doesn't run constantly on full power and then add a profile for Screen Off and set it to 200 MAX- 200 MIN aply at boot of course checked good luck
I've had SoD's and reboots on imilka's CM9v2 and Stunner 5 beta so when Stunner released 1.4.19 I started completely fresh. I reflashed the LP1 repack with wipe, did another full wipe in CWMR before flashing Stunner 1.4.19, flashed the LP6 modem and did another full wipe. I've been using it for about 20 hours, 14 hours since my last manual reboot and I haven't had a problem yet.
Just flashed the new Stunner 1.4.19 this morning over my existing 5.0 version..
And have not had one SOD since..
Let's hope it stays that way..
I think ics is to early in this stage to restore apps with userdata. Im not talking about xda app, slacker or things of that nature. But restoring things like setcpu, rootexplorer and other root apps could lead into problems. Unless you are very strict about backups.
Happy you got your problem situated.
Hey guys, lucky I found this thread.
I followed this guide as literally as I could: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763151
But as far as I can tell I am, too, getting a screen of death every now and then. For example, I went to bed last night and left my phone with 70% battery, this morning, 8 hours later, I found it with 22%. When I checked the battery graph (I would post a SS but I cant use the stylus for that and dont know any apps for the job ATM) I found a "gap" between 70% and 22%, its like nothing was there. So Im tempted to believe that it is, in fact, a SoD.
I've read the experiences of this previous user but I cant really figure out what it is im supposed to do to fix my note. I am using CM9 (latest nightly) and would like to continue doing so, is there a way for me to fix the SoD without changing roms?? I am not a m4d h4xx0r on this subjet, but I manage and I can follow a clearly laid out guide as good as anyone.
I would hate to waste your time, so if you could please be extra clear when explaining whatever procedure I must follow it would be awesome.
If anyone could help me out on this subject you would have my humble thanks!
Galaxy Note 2 shuts off
The issue exists on the Galaxy Note 2 as well and has nothing to do with software.
The problem is hardware related. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI
Also, take a look at this site I built that goes in to more detail regarding the issue: www.GalaxyNote2ShutsOff.com
One look at that short video and I am sure there will be some light bulbs going off. Be sure to read the details I provided on that site as well. They go in to detail about the problems that I have had and the lack of proper support that Samsung is willing to provide.

<<<The CRACKS on my NOTE shows how often it KISSES the FLOOR>>>

[Q] Anyone can explain ? :)

So I have had my Nexus 4 for 7 exact days, was suffering from a terrible battery life of 1:30 hrs MAX screen-on. Until I flashed CM10.1+Franco's latest kernel and my phone has a 3:30 hrs of screen time on ! - I tried AOKP with Faux and some other rom combinations...Any one can explain why?
And clearly the battery life on WIFI surpasses the one on 3g.
It probably has a lot to do with the "msm_hsic_host" kernel wakelock that is present on the stock kernel. Flashing to either franco or faux kernel is supposed to be a great way to fix it and increase battery life
Because Franco Kernel is like magic?
Edit: oh hey! you're the same guy from yesterday I suggested Franco Kernel to and pm'd me for additional tips

Not sure if it has the ability to disable logging and events (i think it does). You can disable those two features for better battery life (very insignificant but every bit helps, right?) and you can disable fsync if you choose to (more IO speed, less stability mainly if your phone was to randomly reboot).
Plus the free color changing is always nice to have.
3 to 4 hours with screen on is normal battery life for a stock Nexus 4.
It sounds like you were running something that was draining the battery.
When you updated the phone, the new ROM turned off the culprit.
The battery drain is not necessarily caused by an app, it could be one
of the Google services or bad reception. Even changing the phone's default
settings can result in much better battery life.
This might be a stupid question, but could switching from stock kernel/ROM fix my antenna radio reception bull**** issues?

Phone freezing after long charge on Franco Kernel

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I have been struggling to trawl through all 1000 pages on the relevant thread as I can't get the search terms to get the info!
Basically, when I leave the phone overnight charging, in the morning I cannot turn it on unless I press and hold the power button and volume down to reset the device.
Other than this it is great in terms of being able to adjust the colours and the battery life seems better.
I have tried both the nightly and stable versions..

I am currently using the stock ROM but could change to a custom... (I am learning as I go at the moment...)
Sounds like your phone is having trouble to wake after a deep sleep. I'm guessing it's caused by a (probably: too) low cpu frequency.
Did you use any app to change the cpu frequencies while asleep, or did you undervolt your cpu?
Also, which version of the kernel are you using? I suggest you stick to M1 for more stable results.
And after all, it might be a bug in the kernel. The people in franco's thread are more than willing to help you if you supply as much information as you possibly can. Kernel version, your adjustments to it if any, etc. I haven't seen this problem happen to anyone before in the last days (oh yea, I read every page of that thread...), so don't be afraid to ask for some help. But for now, I suggest you update to M1. If you're already on M1, feel free to ask your question in the thread.

No, I do not undervolt. The only changes I made were to gamma settings. Having said that I did change the power setting but changed it back. I have rebooted the phone so I will see if it happens after the next deep sleep.

I am currently using milestone 1.
As far as I am aware I only made changes to the colour as I am still learning the controls as I go. I have restarted the phone to see if it helps.
The only app that I am using that could be to blame is battery guru, so if it persists, I could try disabling that.

You're using the exact same set-up I am, and I'm haven't had any of the trouble you talk of. Disabling battery guru might be a good idea. As it's an app from Qualcomm itself, I wouldn't be surprised if it's set to mess around with the stock kernel's settings. If that's the case, then your kernel is obviously not the kernel that Battery Guru was programmed to mess with! Uninstalling it to see what happens next would be a good step :highfive:. From my experience, you wouldn't need any battery management apps when you're on franco's M1 anyway - using common sense to save your battery should suffice.

I will do that if I have not already got it fixed with the reboot. Battery guru is still in learning mode so possibly isn't messing with the kernel yet but is the next thing to try...
Alrighty, let's hope it'll get figured out.

Well, it turned on OK this morning, so hopefully fixed...
I guess I will only know in a few days time when I have got more confidence...
I had another SOD so I have reset all settings (installed nightly version 110) and started again -
The only changes I have made are to the gamma settings and changing the governer to conservative to see if that gives me a longer battery life.
Will see how it goes....
I had some more SODs with 110/111 so I changed to 121 and the battery life did not seem as good.
Takes a while to work out what is going on when it only happens once a day...
I still get occasional SODs with battery guru disabled so i guess it is either the kernel or possibly the ROM... I will try on the support thread....

Good morning, haven't used the phone. But hopefully it doesn't come to that. I used to be a crazy ROM flasher, and never got to enjoy the phone as it is. Its been months since I have flashed my phone lol I feel like I'm on rehab lol the reason why I don't want to factory reset or flash a ROM, it's because it takes about an 1 hr for me to set it up the way I like it lol thanks man! Hopefully they release a minor update to fix these bugs at least

I have face the symptom 3. Removed couple of newly installed files and no issues from last 14 hrs.
Now the reboots are getting worse; during a phone call it rebooted, screen off and doing nothing, and using chrome. I hate to do this but I'm going to factory reset. And by the way, what files did you delete?
Deleted word web & some regional specific app. Resetting phone should be fine without any issue.
I have formatted yesterday, its great no issues & battery life seems great.

I've experienced Symptom 3 a few times. Tried a few kernels and same result. So far I've stuck with Franco kernel and I overvolted by +25mV -- seems to have improved things a fair bit.
May end up doing a factory reset and re-loading the 4.3 image to see if that clears up any outstanding issues.
I think I've figured out the solution. Chrome Beta 30 is the one that is causing reboots stated in the link. I would get random reboots and would blame it on my power button. Happens for no apparent reason, during a phone call and while listening to music.

Hi all,
I bought my phone one week ago, and during this week it froze on me once on stock 4.3, not even rooted.
Over the weekend I flashed CM official nightly and I got a 10 second "freeze"... I waited it out without doing anything, after 10 seconds it "unfroze". Anyways, I've been reading that update 4.3 isn't all that great... I hope they're able to pinpoint what's causing these random freezes soon!
It looks Google isn't going to release android 4.3.1. Since rumors are stating that they are releasing Android 4.4 on October 14. Its only a rumor though. I wish they would fix this bug at least.

Thats a deadlock, it's a known problem with 4.3 JSS roms like CM 10.2. If you flash a JWR based rom it doesn't have these issues, or a hybrid JWR/JSS rom like PA.
I keep getting these annoying errors, both on camera and on media folder.

[Q] Random Reboots. Whats causing them?

I've been getting random reboots for a long time now. But it seems to have been getting more frequent recently. Did some research and many said to post up my last_kmsg. Here it is. Hope someone can identify the problem for me. I thought it was the kernel (previously using franco), Hence I dirty flash PA again. It happened on previous versions of PA too and I factory reset from time to time. So I'm not sure whats causing the issue. I cant seem to emulate the reboot. It happens even when my phone is in sleep mode. Let me know if there's any other info that you need. Thanks

what apps do you have installed?? is chrome or chrome beta one of them?...i had installed chrome beta and had random reboots as well...if not then try to install a different rom..see if that helps
sometimes it happens i would recommend you a factory reset and try with other ROM.
for example Carbon Rom + Hells Core no deadlocks and very fluid and stable!
they release a nightly per day!

I too have been getting random reboots on PA since moving up to 4.3. I can live with them as they only seem to occur when I'm not using the phone. My guess was it's an issue with 4.3 or PA ... which will be fixed I time, or it's because I restored all apps with titanium, which I don't usually do, and something got ****ed along the way?

I just uninstalled chrome beta as you suggested and install chrome in. I'm also suspecting a certain app that is causing the reboot but can't seem to pinpoint which. Hope someone that can interpret the last_kmsg could point out the cause. Will monitor a few days to see how it goes.

Is this ROM battery friendly? Battery is a main factor for me since I don't use much of the customisations like halo or pie. My battery brains reeeealy fast when I turn on 3.5g. Such vast difference compared to when I just use 2g.

I just uninstalled chrome beta as you suggested and install chrome in. I'm also suspecting a certain app that is causing the reboot but can't seem to pinpoint which. Hope someone that can interpret the last_kmsg could point out the cause. Will monitor a few days to see how it goes.
Is this ROM battery friendly? Battery is a main factor for me since I don't use much of the customisations like halo or pie. My battery brains reeeealy fast when I turn on 3.5g. Such vast difference compared to when I just use 2g.

yes my friend! i am looking for the battery friendly and this one is so stable! and hells kernel is being a good kernel even in Beta.
use 2G we cant do anything respect this.
You will need to catch a log when the reboot happens, since the last_kmsg is only written when the reboot happens, and is not written in case of soft reboots... So i thinkj last_kmsg won't help...
Mine was rebooting fairly often. By chance i went into settings > date and time and somehow the setting for “automatic date and time" got unchecked. Since I checked it I haven't gotten any reboots yet. Just posting this to see if anyone who has been having random reboots has that setting unchecked.

nice! if you have uninstalled chrome beta then your problem my friend is solved! ....if you ask me...Vanir Rom by mbq with Hells kernel is a beastly combination.

I took up your advice! But I'm still on stock kernel. Not sure if the jss hells kernel will be compatible with the 4.3 rev3. But it was mentioned on the thread that it is though. Haha. I'm getting 2hr+ screen on time with 2g. Maybe I should flash hells?

I just fetched all 4 logs using syslog app. Will that be helpful? I'm really a noob in this. Hahaha can't read the codes.

Hm... Interesting. Mine have been checked all these while. Don't think this is what's causing my reboots. I'll keep an eye on it nonetheless.

battery life usually depend on kernel..not so much on the rom..give hells kernel a try and see how much juice you can squeeze from your battery...im running jss kernel on rev 3 and works perfectly fine so no need to worry abt that...matrix, semaphore and franco kernel are good alternatives as well if hells kernel doesnt work for you...Are you still getting those random reboots?
The speed of vanir is craaaazy. But I'm not getting more than 2.5hrs screen on when on 2g. And there's some weird issues with the camera. Like screen tearing. Im guessing that would be from the hells kernel being incompatible to an extent.
How do you get 4-5hrs screen time??
