[Q] Barometer - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Automatic display brightness

A friend of mine got a nexus s and his automatic display brightness doesn´t seem to work until today. His device is not rooted or has a custom rom, so I can´t test, if it´s an software bug or not.
His firmware is android 4.0 since more than 3 months.
Is there a possibility to check this issue? With an other app or something? Sending back his device is an option, he want to choose as his last possibility.

He used it until more than 3 months without any problems. That´s why I don´t get why it shouldn´t work anymore.

Should be a software bug. Ask him if he would do a factory reset.

You can always try Sensors applcation to check if light sensor is working properly:

He did a factory reset and now it seems to work again. But he also mentioned that the display is a bit darker than before. But even though it is, he must live with it

Lowest value is lower in ICS then it was in GB. IMHO crap, but it can be changed in framework-res.apk.

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.

Randomly crashing after 4.3 update!

My Nexus 4 just started randomly started crashing after the 4.3 update ... Anyone having the same issue?? Please help...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Hmm. the Nexus 4 I'm using doesn't have that issue. Sounds like you have an app incompatibility with Android 4.3. I would suggest combing your apps, or doing a factory reset.

It crashed while using Skype and Gallery.

In three days I've had the phone reboot three times, all within the first hour after unplugging it. Twice it rebooted while I wasn't using it and once while sending an email. I'm completely stock and did a factory reset yesterday.

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

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...

Can't open settings.

Something strange is going on with my N4, every time I try to open my settings it just closes it again almost instantly. Also I've noticed that if I turn off wifi it turns itself back on straight away and then it goes into silent mode for a second (speaker symbol with dash through it) then back to full volume. I've tried restarting it and uninstalling recent apps. I am thinking about doing a factory reset but don't want to if I can help it... But I can't anyway because I can't get into settings! Nothing shows up in virus scans. Screen briefly flashes black regularly too. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

Unfortunately you will have to wipe EVERYTHING on your device to fix this issue.
For now press and hold the power button, press and hold the power off option.
You should see a safe mode option, press OK and the device will boot to safe mode.
In that stage check the settings if it still works.

No idea, probably some settings or kernel bug.
Did it work?, if so then reboot to get off safe mode and see if it works.

I can get the settings to stay open in safe mode but still same problem when I restart it again. Should I do a factory reset?

Most likely an app is doing this, yes try factory resetting.

Did you installed an antitheft app?? Usually they try to make the settings persistent when in locked to Help phone recovery mode which usually gets activated by changing the SIM card
A factory reset should fix that in most cases

What you said makes sense. So, just for the future reference. Should I uninstall my anti-theft app before changing sim card? Will this prevent if from happening? Thanks!
