Phone Vibrating for no reason? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This so weird, my phone keeps vibrating for no apparent reason. I'm not talking just feels like vibrating in my pocket but in my hands as well, sometimes it would just vibrate 3 or 4 times with no reason - no messages, no emails, notifications whatsoever. Any idea what's going on? I'm on CyanogenMod 10.1. This didn't happen when I was using the same ROM on my galaxy s3.

I had a similar 'issue' just 10 min ago, but it was an option that let my phone vibrate always when I plug or unplug, but since your's vibrating in your pocket, that is not your problem.
But anyway, do you remember any app you installed just before the vibrating started?

Anyone else no getting ANY sound?

Just what the title says. I'm getting no sound at all. I've messed with every volume control and am stumped.

Working now. Weird! I may have a lemon with the sound.
Of course the sound has to stop working when I'm showing a fanboy how awesome it is and how much better it is then the iPad.

I'm having the same issue.
I'm using it with no issues for a while then no sound... rebooting it doesn't help.
I can plug in a head set but no speaker at all.
Sometimes emails notifications come through but that's about it.
Been on the phone waiting for google support now. Been waiting for about 30 minutes now...
This SUCKS!

Had the same problem within five hours of having it. Sound went out playing Final fantasy III. Did a factory reset, nothing. Was on hold with google play for 45 min before I gave up. Sound started working again for a while, cut out again when playing FFIII again. Would say it is the game but the factory reset didn't fix it. Sound came back on during the night while I slept, has stayed on since. Waiting to see how it goes and to find out if it is a software issue before I try to RMA it. Did sent google an email though.
I did a hard reset (held the power button down for 10 seconds) and its been fine since.

Problem is back.
It makes a sound like a record scratching then no sound. If you tap the back of the tab it tries to make sounds but fails. Must be a hardware issue.

Its weak I can't even notice it while its on NY table my s3 was perfect vibrations were great

I'm the same, I barely notice the vibrations. This is in comparison to my Bother's Blackberry Curve which makes me jump out of my skin when it vibrates. I guess it's good that we have the LED at the front so we don't miss messages.

Anyone else getting this annoying bug?

Maybe its just my phone that's got a problem, but when I answer the phone the person on the other end doesn't hear my voice for about 5 seconds. So I have to say 'hello' three times. Any one else getting this? Or any idea on a fix.
Not noticed. Maybe you pick up and put your handset to head a lot faster than me

I have this, I also had it a couple of handsets ago on my desire hd. You get used to it, answer phone... Wait a second, say hello.

Actually I think I have this bug, but it's not 5 seconds ... maybe 1-2 max ...
Weird, I'll do some more testing to see
yeah, me too. i reckon it is about a second though.
never noticed this on previous phones.
Me too, but only for 1 second, so doesn't bother me at all
There's an option in the dialer settings to have it vibrate on call connect and disconnect. I haven't paid much attention if it vibrates when answering a call but I'm pretty sure it does. I haven't noticed an issue.

Nexus 4 Bugs

I want to ask if anybody has similar bugs to a non-rooted, locked, stock nexus 4 on 4.2.2 and would like to know on how to fix them. I have factory reset the phone and always seem to get the same results. I don't mind these little bugs, but they are making me want to root my phone.
1. While listening to Google music, I would try to unlock my phone and Google music screen widget would flicker and shake and make unlocking difficult I provided the picture on the attachment.
2. Another bug while still listening to Google music; it would dim more than normally it would in a shorter amount of time on lock screen.
3. Almost every time I open YouTube, the YouTube window animation flickers.
4. Battery drops 2-5% when the phone is rebooted.
5. Phone battery % drops after being fully charged and unplugged.

4 and 5 are caused by a slightly wrong calibrated battery if you reset the calibration files (here is a tut somewhere) or just do only full cycles for a few weeks this shouldn't be a problem because it is just a displayed drop I think I'm rooted and don't listen much to Google music so no comment to 1 and 2.
3 isn't known to me.
Just a quick answer haha

Thank you, I'm going to look on how to properly calibrate the battery. These little bugs can get frustrating at times.

Don't know about 1 and 2.
3) The youtube app is a buggy piece of sh*t, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.
4) The battery percentage drop on rebooting has occured on every ROM I tried so far, so I don't really care. Well, maybe not 5%, but 1-2% is normal for me.
5) Happens to me occasionally, I don't really mind if it drops to 99% straight away, it's only correct. 100% would mean that your battery is perfectly fully charged. When you unplug it, some tiny (seriously) amount of power is being used due to the fact that your screen turns on, right?
Try cleaning the app data and cache for Play Music and Youtube (settings > apps) and see if it gives any result.
Thank you for helping. I forgot to mention another bug that is probably the worst. When receiving a phone call, I pick up the phone and the screen turns off. I try to turn the screen on and it doesn't respond. This bug has made me miss calls various times.

Mh well your on/off presses sometimes interfere with the proximity sensor on your phone this "issue" sometimes causes wild screen on/off during call because I click the button but the screen was already turning on because I no more held it next to my ear so it turns off again so I click again to turn on but hold the phone to my ear shortly to check whether the other person is still in call so proximity sensor reacts.... Repeat n-times. But that doesn't sound like your problem. Could you describe it more specific?

When receiving a phone call, I pick it up the phone and the screen turns off and doesn't respond to the power button. I have to tilt the phone until it turns on and until I get a chance to answer the call. Proximity sensor/s does sound to be the cause of this. Any way to fix this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Phew I don't think so... But changing habits... I'm working on a solution for my random clicking but I think the only way to solve that is to give the phone more time to react before pressing power button because it'll turn screen on/off as you would like it to but it needs a short period of time for that

Hopefully Android 4.3 fixes some of these bugs. The Nexus 4 Lg adapter was garbage, I dropped it once and after that it stopped working.

They said to clear cache/data & uninstall updates. Then update.
It did not work. I told them & they said they will Look into fixing this issue in a update later on.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yeah, uninstalling and updating apps doesn't work. I've been doing that since the longest and no fix. Factory resetting or even flashing stock doesn't seem to fix these bugs either. Hopefully later on they find a solution. I didn't mind these bugs at first, but after a while, it got frustrating.

2. Another bug while still listening to Google music; it would dim more than normally it would in a shorter amount of time on lock screen.
Don't notice this because I always sleep the phone manually after choosing music.
3. Almost every time I open YouTube, the YouTube window animation flickers.
Never have experienced this.
4. Battery drops 2-5% when the phone is rebooted.
This can happen, yes. Stop rebooting so much.
5. Phone battery % drops after being fully charged and unplugged.
This happens about 95% of the time. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for your reply. For the Google Music apk, I don't use any lock screen widget. When I listen to the music and try to unlock it, that's when it gets buggy. Either the widget shakes or the screen dims more than normally it would. I only reboot I once a day every morning in order to reduce lag and refresh the system.
I guess I don't know what you mean with the music app. What Rom are you on?
Sent from my Nexus 4
I'm on stock rom, unrooted and locked. I was on cyanognemod, unofficial miui, and decided to go back to stock. I have enjoyed stock until bugs started happening. When I listen to Google Play Music; there are times when I turn my phone on and try to unlock the screen, the Google Music widget shakes and makes it difficult to unlock.
Found another bug. Not annoying but its just there. When applying a stock wallpaper and you immediately scroll left or right, you get this result.

May be it's just the universe trolling you saying "one does not simply not root a nexus".
Yes most of the bugs you mentioned are present and they are fixed in most of the custom ROMs.

Keyboard shows when getting an incoming call

I have an LG Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.1 and have a strange problem. When I got an incoming phone call the keyboard is displayed and won't go away. This is a rather big problem since it obscures the area which allows me to accept the phone call.
Is there anyway in which I can stop this happening? This is my first Android device so I am still pretty new to it.
Have you tried factory reset
