Nexus 4 touchscreen non responsive - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, so it's been a month since I bought my N4. During this time it has happened twice that my screen has stopped responding. This happened after I took it out of my pocket after a long period of time and also after some of my weight was on the device for a couple of minutes. However a reboot fixes the problem. First I thought it was a PA problem so when it first got stuck I rebooted to recovery and flashed stock. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal?

Do you have touch control?
If yes, it's a known issue.

Random reboots

Had the phone for just over 24 hours and have had two random reboots. Anyone else or is it just me?

Nop' Just you !
Perhaps it's something I've installed.

Lots of apps haven't updated for 4.2 yet...
And I trust you've installed the OTA update?
Yep, updated almost immediately.
If it keeps doing it I'll start uninstalling stuff.... I suspect something with an active widget, so HD Widgets or Astrid...

Have had 3 reboots in 3 days twice while using Dolphin browser and once when using the mini info app.
My first was half way through a YouTube video, the second was just after loading tapatalk I think....

I think its the apps not being updated for 4.2 tbh. I got the launcher to FC on me with Friend caster not long after I posted.
I hope so, but I've not had a single random reboot on my N7. Plenty of FCs mind you!

I actually had a random reboot about 20 minutes ago. I have an HD Widget clock on my lockscreen. I think mine happened while using Tapatalk though. Glad someone else experienced this. It was my only one so far though but I've had the phone <24 hours
I might try taking my HD Widgets off for a while.

I'm using HD Widgets and have not had any force closes. I have one on my home screen and another on a lock screen. However, it does seem to be using a lot of battery (7% of usage).
Hmm.. I haven't had any reboots yet, working perfectly.

I had some random reboots. I think about 10 since friday...
Have had 2 random reboots. Once during Netflix testing 20 minutes into Breaking Bad and once when I turned on the phone and the screen was frozen for a few seconds.
I've had the phone since Thursday haven't had any random reebots

Won't charge when powered on?

Hi guys,
I seem to have run into an issue yesterday, my n7 will no longer charge unless I power off, it doesn't get recognised by my PC either but bizzarely it recognises my USB otg, anybody have any ideas or is it time for an RMA?
I've tried various ROMs and kernels but without luck...

Have you tried a new USB cable? Our just swapping the same one from PC to wall adapter?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes, I've tried the stock cable for my n7 and n4 and both chargers too, its very strange

I've found that mine charges a lot slower while powered on, almost barely.. I just turned it off.. eventually I got sick of it and replaced the battery and it charges great now..

I got the battery for like 24.00.. like new but used, works like brand new though. It's easy enough to replace, the back just pops off the n7 with a little pry. While I had the back piece off, I sprung the 2 contact points up and out some so the wifi antenna got better connection. Went from 1-2 bars to nearly full across the entire house..

Wifi doesn't turn on help

Hi guys,
I have the following problem, I had pa installed on my oppo everything was fine minus the dots on the camera.
I decided to try CM10 so I flashed it like I allways flash my phones, full wipe and flash everything went well. But this time I turn on the phone and I cant enable wifi, so I came to stock hoping it would correct the issue, well it didn't so I flashed some other roms and guess what ? cant enable wifi on any of them. is simply say's "turning wifi on..."
guys I've done everything do you have any suggestions ?
regards,
Sérgio Pereira

Are you just trying at home? If you haven't already, try resetting your router/modem. The ole unplug for 10 seconds should do the trick.

For anyone else who comes her looking for the answer. You need the 4.2 modem from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407583554

[Q] Barometer

My new nexus 4 is doing great, however.
My barometer sensor seems to fail.
It used to work, but now pressure is always "0". Tried other apps, nothing responds.
How is this possible?
This this issue occur after the update?

Yesterday it updated to android 4.3, didn't work ever since.
Mine works, try a factory reset.
Unfortunately, Android 4.3 is full of bugs and there are a few ways to fix a few bugs by a full flash and/or wiping.

Powering it off and on for the 3th time made it work again. Strange... Tnx anyway!

Interesting, somehow bugs can be fixed by doing a few reboots has well.

Ghost fingers on touch screen...??

Hi guys,
I recently bought a Google Nexus 4. Great device! But now I have a problem with the touch screen I guess.
I have some ghost touches on the screen. They are always on the same places.
To be more specific, on the same X-as of the screen. 3 to 5 touches in horizontal direction, swiping and touching the screen.
It's not always there, that's what's bothering me.. what is gods name could it be...
I'll add a screenshot of the touches when I get a chance to...
I have this problem for about a week now. And I was wondering if someone knows the solution to this.
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10.1.2
Cheers,
Alexander

It happens every now and then. It started a week and a half ago or two weeks ago. Not exactly sure.

I have installed the custom rom the moment I got this device. It didn't happen before.. So I doubt it is a software problem. I'd rather think of it as a hardware problem, don't you think?
No-one?
If it started on custom Rom then flash back to stock to see if it still happens. If not then there you go.
If still happens even on stock then RMA the device.

I flashed another ROM CM10.2 UNOFFICIAL. Did a clean install.
Untill now it is reacting normal.. Let's wait and see.
I am thinking, could it be of some backup settings it is recovering from my google account?
Because it has no Gapps installed yet. Downloading at the moment.
Thanks in advance
As suggested, try stock.

Ok, The CM10.2 did not work. I disabled auto backup and recovery of Google settings and stuff and flashed the Stock ROM 4.2.2.
Also there was an official update to 4.3. And surprisingly enough, the device is responding normal again. Still though, i think it was very strange that the problem was also in the recovery...
