Hi folks.
I got the Nexus 4 a few days ago and I've noticed that the volume buttons do not work.
I've performed a factory reset but that didn't solve the problem.
Is there some setting I'm missing or do you think it's a hardware issue?
Mine was working fine until 2 days ago when i updated to stock 4.2.2 via OTA.
Performing nandroid restores from known working volume backups does not work (i tried 4.2.1 Stock, and Slim Mako ROM)
Performing new ROM installs does not work (i tried Slim Mako ROM, Motoblur ROM, CM10 and kfheaven) .
I only did a wipe data and cache, i should try wiping dalvik - though i dont see how it would help.
Any thoughts would be great

I contacted Google support yesterday by email but haven't heard back from them.
I got the phone on Saturday and updated to 4.2.2 straight away so I don't know if the volume buttons were working before the update.
I'll let you know what they say when they get back to me. If you find a solution before then please let me know.

Hi guys ino this problems has been posted before bui cant find the answers none of them work.
Basically this is note my phone its my grandads i updated the Firmware from Gingerbread to ICS last week and when people phone him this process stops. Now ive tried going into reject messages settings and having less then 5 and it does nit work. The phone is NOT rooted and will not be as I don't want to screw upp their warenty.
I would normally wipe permissions but I cant since CWM is not installed.
I also cant replace phone apk as I need Root access.
Please any help would be great.
Firmware version. : PDA:LQ2 /PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP4 (CPW)
Stock ICS 4.0.3 ROM
Guess first thing to try would be to wipe cache and data on the dialler app.
Every time ive had this problem though, the only tying thats worked has been a factory reset. Id watch out doing this on an ics rom though, samsung have now admitted the emmc issue and are working on stable kernels but they will probably be out a month or so.
Alternatively you may be able to use an alternative dialler from the play store.

Apologies, i think you'd need to be rooted to install an alternative dialler.

Wiping/factory reset will do the trick, I was having the same problem, coming from pre rooted Gingerbread to flashing non rooted stock ROM ICS through PC Odin.
After wiping problem no more force close on phone.

i wouldnt advise a factory reset with all the info we now know,would you like to be responsible for his bricked phone
i would wait til your in a position to install root safely and use a safe kernel then wipe
What I meant was a wipe after stock ROM was flashed through Odin, doesn't that remove CWM? It IS safe to do factory reset without CWM installed is it? And if you can't use your phone without well, having com.android.phone running and you do just a factorey reset it needs to go back to Samsung anyway. Hard resetting your phone doesn't seem to break warranty to me, does it?
Any advise will be appreciated, I'm still trying to figure out what to do and how to root ICS.
Thanks.
Do NOT factory reset in ICS as it could initiate the superbrick. Only wipe in CM9 or gingerbread.
Ok. Thanks. Already did it though . I was lucky to not brick the damn thing
Rolling back to Gingerbread doesn´t work, unfortunately, I get errors/fc on at least 3 important processes.
Edit: Well, I managed to get Gingerbread working again after all; flashed back to GB through PC Odin and then do a full wipe/factory restore.
wipe cache and dalvik cache will do the trick.
Guys I said that I do NOT have CWM installed nor am i rooted so little of these options will work. But I factory reset it went into reset area of setting and restored to stock and everything works fines now so THANK you also another note my granny's Galaxy s3 had the same problem after fixing the Galaxy note about 3 days after had to reset hers as well and its fine now. I wondered if it could be because i brought both phones from Carphonewarehouse ?
Thanks for your help
My N4 doesn't seem to pass the Google Screen. I flashed a new rom because for some reason I stopped receiving messages but could make phone calls. I was on PAC now I tried to flash Revolt 4.4 but now it will not pass the Google Screen. Also, I am on twrp if that helps. I have used normal wipe. then advanced wiping the system,cache,data. Anyone know how to fix this?
-Thanks !

When you say normal wipe, do you mean wipe data/factory reset? If you haven't tried that, try it then flash a new ROM and then gapps. If your problem still persists then you would probably have to revert to stock ROM (factory image)
You may have gotten a bad download of the ROM, or some other problem with the zip. If you still have the zip of your last ROM (always a good idea until you know the new one boots), then try flashing it. If not, as suggested above, revert to stock and start over.

With factory image will my phone be completly erased?
And I mean with when you go to twrp recvoery the normal wipe. Not Factory Reset the standard wipe data and cache.
Fixed it.
Kind of bummed out right now. It seems TWRP recovery was bugged somehow. It didn't let me wipe anything at all. even when it said it did which is odd. I had to perform a factory reset. I'm glad about the phone now booting up. Just a little bummed out all those pics I took on the 4th of July are gone.
Hello, I have a problem with my Nexus 4.
Everything was working fine (Even the SIM card) under a MIUI ROM, obtained from the MIUI port team of XDA. I wanted to install Ubuntu Phone, so I wiped everything.
When I say everything, is everything: Cache, Data, Dalvik... And I formated everything too: System, Data, Sdcard... So the problems started. I wasn't able to flash the phone to go back to stock, with the Nexus Rootkit. I installed the 1.6.6, the last version, and after many attemps I have now a fully customizable phone again, which is able to go back to stock or to a custom ROM, if I want.
The problem is that the SIM is not working. I'm trying to flash to 4.2.2 Stock again (because I've tried it two times) to see if it fixes the problem, but I guess that again, it won't.
So, any ideas?
Thank you very much indeed.
EDIT: The 4.3 update arrived and it fixed the problem automatically.
I have been a lurker around here for some time, but never posted. So Howdy!
I am having some troubles with my LG G2. I have loved the phone so far, and has custom TWRP recovery and rooted. Other than that the device was stock with some very minor mods (xPosed framework, etc..
I stupidly forgot that I had TWRP installed, and I chose to take the recent T Mobile OTA. The phone wouldnt boot past recovery despite a factory data reset. I flashed the stock rom (tried both D80110C and D80110G) to no avail. factory data reset again, re root, installed TWRP again, cleared cache and dalvik, and everything was fine EXCEPT the knock on feature doesnt work. Knock on works just fine, but I cannot knock to wake the device. The power button wakes the device just fine.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Also,
I was considering flashing a rom, like Gummy rom. I don't really have any hypothesis behind this, as I have already flashed the stock rom kdz twice now.

Hey, is your knock on issue resolved? also try CloudyG3 rom, its realy smooth.
I have rooted my phone and its been months now. Have used different roms like gummy, Nameless, Mahdi etc. Recently I had Nameless rom and 3 days back, my phone started freezing when the screen timed out and also froze when there was no sound. I updated the rom but still faced the same problem. Changed to Mahdi but same problem again. Finally I went back to gummy and I face same problem here too. I have done everything except unrooting and going back to Samsung rom.
Pls help me. I cannot understand what is wrong with my phone.

Hi,
Most of this problems come from flashing , did you full wipe / clear dalvik and cache before installing rom?

Hi ,
Did work fine for 2-3 days? maybe something you installed or restore from you back up.
I would flash rom again No wipe and see how it works , if is working fine i will restore only apps ( not system data) one by one and see if you find the culprit

4 days back I installed Nameless updated version and flashed it by wiping data cache and dalvik. I m guessing this problem started after installing the Nameless version. But now I'm off Nameless. I'm back to gummy and I just found that my sounds r not working well and I can't speak or hear when I receive or make a call. Should I just unroot my phone and get the stock firmware? Doing this will it get the phone back to normal?

Flashing stock is an option but before that
I have Philz touch
Make a nandroid back up and copy it with the rom you want to use in your external SD , copy all your music , data , pictures from the internal SD to the external SD
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvick
Mounts and Storage / format /data and /data /media (/sdcard) to clean any possible leftover file from any other rom
Now flash your rom from Sdcard1
If does not work go back to stock a re start all over...
