[HELP PLZ!]IM app message push issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys! I need some help plz
I'm from asia and I like to use WeChat to keep in touch with my friends(whether you guys know it or what, this app is popular in mainland of China)
Here comes the problem: new message wont be pushed to my Nexus 4 after I locked my phone for a while.
I'm doing all kinds of tests these days. I finally reflashed the factory image yesterday. After flashing the image I did nothing but install WeChat.
Then I logged in and locked my phone and waited for 15 minutes. No interrupt during this 15 minutes. Then I used my iPhone to send a WeChat message to my nexus 4. NO NOTIFICATION......the notification came out after I turned on the screen and unlock the phone. WTF:crying:
By the way, my nexus 4 connects to my wifi all day long. I've already turned off the wifi optimize and I chose to keep the wifi connection when the screen turns out.
I also noticed that when I locked my phone for a while and turn on the screen, the signal icon is grey. After 1 or 2 seconds it will turn blue. I know the blue color means the phone is connected to Google. So I guess the phone will disconnect wifi after locked for a while? I have no idea about it...
Other IM apps seems having the similar issue... I dont like to miss my friends' message and keep them waiting...
Can you guys help me out? Thanks!!!

Nexus 4 connection

Hey guys, I was just wondering if someone could help me. I've got my Nexus 4 on EE UK. My signal bars stay blue for about an hour or so meaning that its connected to the Google servers. But then they go grey and all my Facebook notifications, gmail and talk don't come through. Here's the odd part.....if I put the handset in air plane mode and turn it back on it reconnects! Anybody got any ideas????

I have the same problem, with wi-fi or mobile connection. Can't seem to find a solution. However, sometimes it just magically activates itself again and I get a load of missed messages/e-mail etc.

Yup, exactly the same. Not so much with WiFi tho. I did read that if you didn't sign in with your gmail account on first boot then u need to reset your entire handset and sign in again from the very start using the gmail account. Some say it works others say it doesn't.

I had the same problem what worked for me was remaking the APN. I was using the default APN and it was giving me problems but after making my own with the same stuff it fixed it.

Well, it's also related to wifi, so I don't know it that'll fix it. But I added my APN myself, just to make sure. Thanks.

Still the same. Loses connections in deep sleep & I get grey bars that switch to blue when I activate the device.
Surely there's a fix for it. Must b. Wonder if manual APN settings would fix it.

Similar problem here - Am on T-mobile UK but the carrier hasn't changed to EE like it had on my previous phone (anybody else like this?)
But yeah, have no issues over wifi but occasionally mobile data stops working and the bars go grey; when activating data connection it sometimes takes quite a while for them to turn blue.
Anybody managed to rectify the issue with APN settings?

Anyone ever figure this out? Switching to airplane mode helps me but this sucks.

Anyone know any app that is wotking fine with our Nexus? I have tried a few but all of them are not acurate at all. Showing odd speeds and distances...
Maybe my phone is broken?

Yikes, something isn't right. How do things like Google maps, locations in Facebook etc work on your phone?

I'm having similar issues: I'm using MapMyRun on Xylon/Franco, and it reports very strange distances. It's very weird because I can pull up the map on the app, and it looks right. When I upload the route to their web interface and access it from my computer, the distance gets calculated correctly. But the phone vastly overestimates the distance traveled (up to 10x--i.e. 30 miles for a 3 mile run).
Google maps and Foursquare are dead on, and GPS activates quite quickly.

I just saw we're both using Franco's kernel. Maybe that's the problem?

Also if you dont wait until Endomondo says GPS ok in the bottom left of the screen the it uses the last know GPS location, and moves you to where you actually are when it gets GPS lock. I hav experienced this on ALL older devices (havent been out with the N4 yet)
RunKeeper has been working fine on the other Nexus 4 in my house (distances are almost exactly the same as the Inc's were).

SportsTracker works perfectly for me. Much better than on the crappy GPS of my g2x, and better than my old Nokia c7.
Much better than Endomodo

[Q] nexus 4 locking up during chromecast

I've noticed my nexus 4 completely locking up during chromecast control being active. It especially likes to happen after locking the screen. I'm on 4.3. Anyone else having this issue? It never locked up before and doesn't seem to unless I'm actively controlling my chromecast.
Did you get 4.3 OTA or did you flash it?
Were you trying to stream with Netflix?

Flashed it. And it does it for Netflix and YouTube and gmusic. All I've tried.
No problems so far with 4.2.2. I'll try and remember to post back when the 4.3 OTA hits.
It happens to me too

Me too.
I am having the same issue. When I am Chromecasting, the phone will not wake and I have to hold power to reset, luckily this does not affect the stream. I also flashed 4.3 and did not wait for the OTA.
PS. I picked mine up from Best Buy also. I had to call around and find one that just had it delivered as they are going FAST. I know that a few of the other Best Buy's around me are getting a few shipments in over the weekend.
I flashed mine but I used the factory image, there shouldn't be any difference between the factory image and the ota..... Right?

Dunno, it seems everyone having issues flashed 4.3, but I have yet to see a post from someone with an OTA update.
4.3 is supposed to have new DRM in it. Perhaps it doesn't get along well with root.
Yeah, root was my very uneducated guess
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
I do not think that it has anything to do with root. I sideloaded with locked bootloader and not rooted and am currently not rooted. But then again I could have messed up somewhere.

I'm having the same issue with Netflix and YouTube on my Nexus 4 (haven't tried Google Music). I'm non-rooted, completely stock 4.3. I got my update OTA.
My wife's Nexus 7 (stock, unrooted 4.3 via/ OTA) has no issues.

It is actually not using it has much you think it is.
When you place multimedia files onto the storage and will scan for a few minutes.
It will be listed to show what was using up your battery.
If you recharge your Nexus 4 fully without storing any multimedia files and/or rebooting then it should not be on the list after unplugging.

Try restoring the 4.4 factory image from google. That'll fix up any bad radios and roms. If it still doesn't work, something's wrong and you have to return it.
