GUI shut down? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For the first time ever I got a pop up message that said something about the "local GUI will shut down"
I have never seen this, what causes this?

yeah ive had this before too, the first time it happened i was running chrome and mx player i think and it kept shutting down so i formatted the phone and it seemed to be ok but it happened once again but after that its been ok. im guessing its just a bug that needs to be sorted. maybe the ram got filled and needed to refresh itself. im not sure.

Screen going blank

Sometimes the screen goes blank and is compleyely unresponsive, I have to pull the battery to get it to work again. Is this a common problem? I haven't seen much of this on these forums.

Happened to me this morning. Actively using phone then... nothing. Blank screen, no response to the power button. I also had to pull the battery to get it working again.
First time I've seen this in seven days of having the phone.
Ya'll overclocked?

But like me said it only was that one time

Had it happen to me twice today, kind of annoying and not overclocked.

I haven't overclocked it yet. I'm kinda waiting for perm root before I start tinkering with that. This has happened to me twice so far.

Not overclocked either.

Came here to see if anyone else was having this problem.
It has happened to me about 3 times over the past couple weeks. Unresponsive, blank screen (powered off?), have to pull the battery before it will restart.
Stock G2

Happened to me today as well. I wasn't running rooted at the time, and the TMo forums have people reporting this problem as well.
Unfortunately, at the time this happened, I didn't think to throw 'adb logcat' at it to see if the phone had stopped responding all together or it was some kind of hardware issue.
hmm weird, I was having a lot of issues when I OC to 1.42ghz, black screen, phone freezes, having to pull battery each time.. very annoying, so i just went back to 800mhz and it runs amazing
This has happen to me numerous times before i forced the ota update and i only got the problem once after the update I seem to get it most when i press the power button to turn the screen on it let me slide to unlock it but i shows a black screen and i can only see the notification bar at the top and it is totally unresponsive for a good 10 seconds untilli keep pushing the home button and eventually the black screen goes away for me
and i was oc to 1ghz before ota but not yet oc bak yet so it leads me to believe that the oc was not the issue because i got the same black screen with out being oc
After the update all the glitches went away. It has been running like a champ since.

when my screen goes blank I hold down the power button till Power Off Prompt comes up then hit back. It always fixes my blank screen
Are any of you using NoLED... Because I had that problem, and when I un-installed it, the problem went away

Random restarts

The past week I got 3 restarts on my note. First was at home with USB cable to PC to charge it, nothing else, locked screen, don't remember if there was a running app. The other 2 times where on the road, I was listening music on stock music player. The only app I am thinking it could have something to do with this is top deals, even not 100% sure need to confirm got rid of it now let me check it. Anyone else noticed anything similar???

It happened to me few days back. It did not restart but I found it was off. Battery was around 50% and it was on third day after restart. I think it could be remote desktop app called 2X - Note particularly gets slow after runing 2X couple of times. I am on 2nd day without running 2X and I wish to confirm if this app is playing something wrong (btw I didn't have problem with 2X on S2).
Yup. It does happen to many people. "Sleep of death" happened to me several times on stock speeds/voltages. Restarts on my phone seem to be more OC/UV related.
I got mine about a week now and have had several restarts. It was way worse before I ran the update though... Now it "only" reboots 0-3 times a day
I don't dare to root it before I know it software related, but it seems like that since it got better with the official update...
I have restored it to factory defaults etc and nothing helps. I experienced this with NO extra apps installed and with the 4 apps I installed it's not worse. (Don't wanna personalize it before I root OR send it back and hope for replacement.)
Third day and it restarted. It however did not reset System Uptime.

Never had a random restart or sleep of death, in fact I can only recall 1 FC and I've had the phone for 2 weeks now

Lucky you!
Well what I wonder is if I root it is it possible that a custom ROM will fix my problems?

I'm gettin random reboots / restarts...

Really weird, doesn't seem to happen when the tablet is stressed or something. On the other hand happened more often with heavy memory stuff like big pdf's and when i live youtube videos loading, maybe I have an issue with the 2 gig's of ram? it's there any way i can test that?
Sometimes the tablet isn't doing anything an restarts. Like when the home screen is blocked. Anyone else had this problems?

I would suggest you try flashing the nexus 10 factory restore image and see if that fixes things. If it's still randomly rebooting I'd send it in for a replacement.

I'm getting the same, please keep us updated because I'm hoping it's a software issue...
Got some of these too. One of these was really freaking, I had to force a reboot. I definitely think it's software

You can see the reboots I'm getting on here... http://imgur.com/704mp.png
i have also problems. Sometimes when i usw Chrome, the Browser don't react and then the screen goes black and i have to push the button on top for five seconds to reboot my nexus. Had this problem three times. I,m hoping for a fix...
Happened to me twice already! Wtf

Guys, I think found a pattern: Each time I get a reboot seems to be related to the wifi connection, like if the wifi freezes the tablet. Pay atention to the wifi settings when you get reboot / restart the tablet it's like searching the wifi connection like crazy, but, if you reboot normally the wifi it's already connected. Seems like a clue to me.
I played like 4 hours yesterday Chaos Rings. Seems like a really advanced game to me, so the stressing test is passed. It's not related to stress IMHO.
I've been getting random reboots too. Took several attempts to get all the way through setup right after taking it out of the box. At first I thought maybe I just hadn't given it enough time to acclimate to ambient temperature or something, but problem has persisted even after flashing the factory image via fastboot. Haven't noticed a correlation with wifi, but does seem to happen mostly when idle. Have also had a couple freezes and shutdowns, too.
Guess I'll be calling Google this morning... Argh.

I actually haven't had any reboots yet. I haven't stressed it with any games, but installed my normal apps and used it for web browsing/xda for a couple hours and no problems for me (yet...fingers crossed)
Called Google, and after being on hold for almost 1/2 hour (I'd imagine they're pretty swamped) explained the issue as well as what I've already done to try to resolve it (factory reset, fastboot recovery image flash) and they started the replacement process without any additional questions.
Just my luck, the first time in ages that I buy a device the day it comes out, I end up with a dud... Hopefully I get the replacement quickly!
I'm really nervous at this point. Mine is perfect aside from a piece of dust in the screen. Google is sending me a new one, but now I am afraid I will get one with more issues.
no more reboots here. But i think it's a software problem.
I have had two unexpected reboots. One was about halfway through ep. 1 of Planet Earth. I don't recall what I had running the other time.
I'm still running stock 4.2, unrooted.
Somebody postes useful info.

Mine rebooted then rebooted three times in a row before even getting in the desktop.
+1 Reboots
3 reboots in the past hour! Location svcs disabled.
Sometimes under load (gaming), other times just random.

[Q] Phone shutting off randomly

Have had my nexus 4 for 2-3 weeks and it has shutdown on me 2 times so far. Both occasions the phone was untouched and was shut off without me knowing, how long and when I have no clue but on power up my wallpaper is reset to default. I don't notice anything else besides that being changed. Anyone have a clue to a fix?
What ROM u have? I'm having same issues. I'm using Xylon. I'm bout to flash Franco #28 kernel and see if it helps.
U should try flashing a new kernel too.

bone stock. haven't done anything to it.
I also get something similar. It happens when I lock my screen. Once the screen goes off, it sometimes won't come back on until I restart my phone by holding down the power button till it's off, and then booting it. I'm not sure about my wallpaper changing, but it has happened on every rom I've used. Also, It didn't happen on stock, but I don't think I was even on stock for a week.
This never happened when I had stock...it started happening when I flashed the ROM. Hope Franco's Kernel helps.

this happens to me from time-to-time. It's not a hardware issue, it think it's a glitch with this version of the os.

Well, I called and got an RMA. Seems like a known issue as well as a battery life issue some others seem to be having. Maybe they are connected in some way. Rep said this new batch they are sending out (RMA's) do not have these issues. I hope so...
Put me down as someone having this issue, Happen 3 time now, On stock rooted os.
I read that Google have confirmed there is an issue with the latest OS that can result in random reboots. I think it has to do with location services.
I also read that turning off any options for emergency broadcasts can help with random reboots.
Some widgets that use weather can result in reboots (due to them using location services to get correct weather), and since I disabled all emergency broadcasts and stopped using widgets that show weather, I have not had a random reboot (and I was having at least one every two days before). I am still using widgets that have the ability to show weather, but I just do not show weather and this seems to help.
Random reboots was causing a major battery drain for me and since I stopped getting these reboots, my battery lasts much longer.
I am on stock ROM, rooted.

[Q] Nexus 4, Force close loop on all apps, Help?

Last night my phone was working perfectly and i didnt install any new apps yesterday so i dont know what caused this to happen...
At about 6am today i turned on my phone. it was all fine until i unlocked it. When i put in my pattern it unlocked and it showed a few of my icons for about half a second and then it came up with an error message saying that the launcher had crashed so i pressed "ok" and it came up again so i pressed "report" and then it said "market feedback agent has stopped" and went back to the launcher and came up with the first error again.
i was just thinking about a way of getting around all the errors to install a new launcher so then i could use my phone. i plugged in my earphones and used the button to start playing my music, then i unlocked my phone and quickly opened skype before the error came up again and then i went in my notifications and i could open Play Music from the notification, i had a notification for an app update so i clicked it and it opened the play store so i installed "go launcher ex" i tried going into my recent apps to change my song but it said "system ui" had crashed, i tried to get into my settings but that crashed too, i worked out that it was most of the stock apps and a few others like bbm that werent working.
device specifications:
Nexus 4
Android 4.3
Rooted
Stock rom
Stock kernal
I dont know what to do without losing everything? thank you for any help
rebooted already? This usually fixes a lot of probs.
cheers
This is happening to me to. I fix it by clearing the ram or closing all open apps. But it happens like once daily now. Any long term solutions?

same issue as here...

just different description... Just cleared google service framework data... will check back in on that thread after tomorrow morning and let you know if it works.
Same here. Bone stock and I don't even shut the phone off but overnight something happens to it and all apps crash. It sucks because it was my morning alarm but the clock app crashes without sounding the alarm.
If I reboot it will work perfect till the next morning, then all over again. Wiped and it still does it. Called it in and Google wasn't aware of anything so if you get this make sure and call Google so they know its widespread.
I cleared services framework and it solved it. So far, 2 days without infinite force closes

Same thing happened to me today. I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, clear dalvik cache and reboot. Been fine since.

That did not fix it for me.
I got the infinite loop the next morning.
i tried re-booting but nothing happened, i had to go into recovery mode and reset my phone. now i wish i made a backup.
I haven't been getting those major crashes yet but after a while I can't open any apps or they "stop. " I think it has been happening ever since I returned to stock for the kit Kat update. Closing all the apps sometimes fixes it but that ruins my favorite part of the phone which is I can have all my stuff open all the time.

I'm still having this problem. Did everyone else fix it or did it just go away?

You guys should try fastboot flash system... I was getting these crashes awhile back and flashing the system.IMG solved it for me. You will not loose any data either
