[Q] Nexus 4 Screen issues - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Morning everyone!
I m having an issue with my nexus 4. I turned on developer options and then turned on show pointer option. When I would turn my phone on from sleep there were dots all over the top (right under the status bar) on what seems like the phone touching itself all over the top of the screen. I called google for support and was told that it was a developer options issue and to do a factory reset. Before I do a factory reset I decided to turn off the developer options and the automatic touching is still happening. Any ideas whats going on?
I m running the stock and the phone is not rooted.
Thanks!

Shut down with wifi connection on sleep mode

Hello,
I have a very big problem with my new google nexus 7. I bought it two days ago. My tablet sometimes when is connected to wifi network (at home, at work etc.) automatically shut down on sleep mode. Does anyone have the same problem like me? This is very frustrating and I don't know what to do. I think about asus service but maybe is some solution. Please help. I will be very grateful. I made factory reset and hard reset and still is the same.

Goto Settings -> Wi-Fi and then tap on the menu icon (on the upper right of the screen), choose Advanced and change the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Always".

Thank you for your advice but I have this option set up to always. I don't know why my nexus shut down itself on sleep mode

[Q] Cannot disable Nexus Demo

I just picked up a used Nexus 7 from gamestop and i seem to be having a few issues with it. Please excuse my ignorance as i am very new to the tablet scene.
Whenever i shut my screen off, the nexus demo appears, i found the option to disable it in the settings, but when i click on it i get returned to the home screen. I also noticed that with certain things i try to click on, such as the settings shortcut in the notification bar, i get returned to the homescreen.
I factory reset through bootloader/recovery, since i dont know the vendor ID to reset it through the settings menu.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to shut that demo off / fix the "return to homescreen bug"?

Gamestop most likely forgot to flash factory images before selling it to you. Had their shop demo. I would highly suggest unlocking the bootloader and flashing CyanogenMod. Or if you want to stay on the safe-ish side, look into flashing factory images. Good luck, I'm on my phone so grabbing links is a pain, sorry.

Help! Several major issues on 4.3 (home button, SIM, lock screen)

My N4 was away to repair a broken screen. Got it back on Wednesday and it immediately updated to 4.3. All was well, except for one weird issue where hitting a notification from the pull down would take me to the app via the pattern lock. I put this down to having played with some lock screen settings in Setting Profiles app (trying to disable it in certain settings), but it might not have been.
I've done the first device restart today, and after rebooting there are a few big issues.
1. I don't appear to have any mobile network, though wifi is connected. I had a good signal before the reboot.
2. I'm not getting a lock pattern or any lock screen at all, and it's not asked for the SIM pin
3. Hitting a notification in the pull-down makes the 'lock' clicking sound as it takes me to the app
4. The home button doesn't work. I see a slight dim of the screen and it makes the lock click sound, but nothing happens. Back and multitask work fine
Help! Any ideas? Are they known issues? Can't seem to find any reference online.
I'm on stock, using Nova Launcher

Those are not any known issues or anything I have read since Andrid 4.3 came out. Try a factory reset to see if that solves the problem. If not, maybe the screen wasn´t the only thing broken on your device. Ask for warranty.
Thanks, will see how I get on this evening and try a factory reset if it doesn't fix itself.
Seems to be a weird problem related to the lock screen and when it should/shouldn't kick in...

Glad I could help.
Ok, I've done a factory reset. Not had much chance to play as it took hours to reinstall everything. But I've just had the word issue where selecting something from the notification tray (the setting profiles shortcut) took me to the lock screen to put in my pattern first, then took me to the app.
EDIT no pattern to when it does it, seems random and can be while I'm using the device, so the lock screen shouldn't kick in for any reason
Any ideas? Faulty device?

Navigation bar buttons as text

So this is what happened yesterday.
The battery was almost empty. I could get the message that the phone will shut down automatically. That empty. Then I wanted charge the phone, but when i putted the usb into the phone ,the phone shut down immediately.
After charging it up for a while I started the phone up again and since then the navigation bar buttons are showing as text in stead of circle and square. See the enclosed picture. I have no idea how to get it back. See the enclosed picture for the screenshot. It seems like the pictures are removed or something.
My phone is not rooted. Any ideas how to check what happened and get it back to circle and square without root?

That is very strange indeed.
Have you tried changing / experimenting with the settings for this feature?
Try it in Settings > Smart assistance > Navigation bar
Also, completely shutdown & reboot the phone a few times (not restarts).
If nothing helps, you may need to try a hard reset - but only do as a last resort & after a thorough backup.

Solved!
Changing the buttons in smart assistance > navitation bar didn't help. The buttons change from position but the text stays.
Reboot or shutdown and reboot didnt help either, BUT doing this after cleaning the cached data solved the problem.
Thanks! Now I don't have to hard reset.
hi..try to change the teme....you have installed a complete theme..and this cud changed the nav bar

S8 icon long press issue

To day I noticed that if I long press an icon on my home screen the menu to remove, disable and app info no longer pops up.
I tried several things but nothing helped so I did a factory reset that resolved the issue.
Setting my phone up I noticed it started again and realized the last thing I did was enable developer mode and disable the animations, old habit form S3 days.
I disabled the developer mode and everything is back to normal.
So just a heads up for those who have a similar issue.
using G950FXXU1AQH3
you saved my day.
