Hey I also had this happen randomly and like you said putting headphones in and out will fix this issue. Funny because I've never even used headphones in my nexus 4 yet!

This actually happened to my co-worker and he didn't use headphones. Couldn't figure it out so he called and got it replaced.

Can't take a screen shot?

Hey everyone, I'm a long time iPhone user/dev who has just bought a Nexus 4. Now I know this sounds very noob, but for some reason I have never been able to take a screen shot, using Volume down + Power button combination. I am rooted but running stock JOP40D, and I have had this issue ever since I first turned the phone on. Searched the forums and Google and couldn't find anything nor could I find any type of setting or toggle. Any help would be appreciated. Please be kind!

are you holding the buttons down long enough?
I believe so. Holding for 5+ seconds with no response. Haven't messed with any system files so this seems very odd.

Shouldn't need to really hold down at all. If you get the combo right it's pretty much instant.
When you try does anything happen? Does the volume decrease or the screen shut off? If so your timing is out.
No there isn't any reaction. I can put volume down, I can lock screen, but when pressed at the same time nothing happens. Might need to do a factory reset, although it was doing this on first boot so it's unlikely to help

[Q] Sound Not Working

I was on my way home when my battery die. When I got home, I put on the charger and turn my Nexus 4 back on. When I used it, I realized that the sound is not working for music, games, notification, etc. I can still hear the beeping sound when I press the volume-down button though.
I didn't press anything, and I have checked my volume setting - nothing seems wrong.
I'm running the newest version of Paranoid Android on my phone.
Since I am a total noob compared to most of you, any kind of help would be soooo useful!
Thank you so much
Last time this happened to a friend, a reboot fixed the issue. Try that —if that doesn't work, report back!

I forgot to mention, I already rebooted it 2 times and it still doesn't work
Update: it turns out that the notification sound is working. However, the media sound is not. I can't also listen to anyone who calls me unless I put on speaker.
Does anybody have the same problem?

what do you think? is the problem in hardware or in software?
if the problem in software, there are a lot of apps doing what you want (on off restart whatever) , and you can install one of them.

If the button itself is defective and you are not under warranty you may be able to find a replacement on ebay. I have seen various phones being parted out there and the button should come with a replacement rear cover. If it is the actual switch on the motherboard you have a different problem though. Have you removed the rear case to test that switch? It can be done with a torx t5 screwdriver, a couple of guitar picks and a half hour of patience.

it seems to me something went wrong with your rom.. try to reinstall it by N-cry toolkit.. and then install one of those apps which gives you no need to this button anymore. just like what I do.

this same thing happened to me a while back. and force rebooting fixed it right away. it was just a software derp, hasnt happened since.

[Q] What happened to my power button?

I was using my phone like any other day, and then I locked my phone and later on went to wake the screen and it wouldn't wake up. I did a "battery pull" (power+volume down) and it rebooted fine. When it came back on, I tried to press the button to lock the screen but to no avail. I went on and got smart screen on and it works okay but I'd like to know if any of you know what's wrong with it. It feels fine, clicks like normal. I haven't dropped it recently or anything. But sometimes, when I barely touch the power button, the power menu opens. I don't really understand that but if any of you have any help for me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Kinda sounds like a hardware issue maybe some pocket lint or something wiggled it's way in there... Take it apart and have a look..you would be surprised as to what can work it's way in there

Just suddenly began working the next day. I don't exactly know why... Maybe an app or something had it confused. I really don't know.

Volume Buttons broken no reason, Can I fix them?

Today when i woke up and powered my nexus 4 i noticed the volume buttons weren't working and they felt a bit weird. I have no idea how this could've happened as they working fine the previous night and i didn't drop it or get it wet or anything. When i moosh the middle of the buttons really hard sometimes the volume panel thing pops up so they still work to an extent. The thing that worry's me is for rooting related things like rebooting to recovery or if i need to hard reboot. Anyway i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can fix this? Maybe replacing the volume rocker if that's easy to do?

Never had them broken but they're easily replaceable.

Any online guides you can link me to? And places for parts?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
EBay for the parts. You'll need a Phillips and a torx5 screwdriver for the repair. Look at ifixit for reference but don't bother removing battery.
