[Q] Nexus 4 Shuts Off while Idle - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Ever since I upgraded to 4.3 I've noticed my phone, when idle, completely shuts off and I have to do a hard reset to get it back up again. It did this when I was Chromecasting netflix, but I've completely removed netflix since then. Anyone else noticing their phone completely shutting off when idled? Any solutions?
FYI. My phone is not rooted. Standard stock 4.3

I'm having the same problem at least once a day and totally random. Not rooted and stock 4.3.

I'm seeing random reboots about once or twice a day too.
I'm running deodexed stock 4.3 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010887
Did cache/dalvik/system wipes. Upgraded from stock 4.2.2, which was stable as a rock. Might go back to that.. nothing too new in 4.3

Try reflashing everything using the google stock occam image. Mine works fine here.

Random Reboot 2.3.4 i9020A

Hi,
I'm starting to have random reboots since the new update 2.3.4. Anyone else having problems ?
- I have the Fido Nexus S (i9020A)
- CWM 3.0.2.5 for i9023 (as specified in the thread to root)
- Rooted
It was ok (some reboots during calls, but not when the phone is just sitting there like it does now) with 2.3.3
Thanks in advance
Mine rebooted 3 times today.
First time I've seen it happen on 2.3.4 and it's aggravating.
It happened on my 2.3.1 and 2.3.2
I'm i9020xxkd1
I have not seen it on mine as of yet, I have just rooted and installed CWR so I will see if it changes and let you know.
What I had done before upgrading was to flash back to complete stock 2.3.3 then perform the upgrade to 2.3.4
No random reboots on mine so far. My phone is stock, unrooted.
Mine has worked great also but it is stock, also unrooted.
Hi

I haven't had any reboots with v2.3.3 or now with v2.3.4 using a Rogers Nexus S model 9020a. I'm running stock and not rooted.
Maybe rooting causes this issue as the only posts with issues are all rooted?
I've been running mine rooted for a day, used it pretty heavily with no issues. I did have a reboot loop in 2.3.3 but that was with Beautiful Widgets.
So far no reboots while in call with 2.3.4 (knock on wood), as it was bad with 2.3.3. Manually installed 2.3.4 within a few days after its release, and have had a few disconnected (dropped) calls - but not a full reboot of the phone itself.
One might say this is T-Mobile, but in the 9 years I've been with T-Mobile, I've never had a problem with dropped calls before. So I can't help but wonder if this is a 2.3.4 issue, since it didn't happen before 2.3.4.
While annoying, at least it's not as bad as a full phone reboot.

Yep I'm comming with the same conclusion. It's pretty lame since there's no way I'm going back to unrooted, guess I'll have to deal with it until someone finds what program is causing this.
I'm getting about 2-3 reboots an hour, this is getting serious. Any way to obtain the crash log or something to tell me what's causing this? I've read logcat wasn't really reliable.

I9020A stock 2.3.4 unrooted
Got a random reboot today, updated version yesterday.

Seems to have something to do with the SETCPU app. I'll try changing some of my profiles. When my phone is full charged, I don't have any problem, but as soon as it gets kinda low, I can have 4-5 reboots an hour or 0... all comes down to luck.

[Q] Random reboots since 4.2.2 update

I don't remember having a problem with my Nexus 7 and random reboots before the 4.2.2 update but ever since the update, I notice that it reboots spontaneously several times a day. I'm rooted with the stock ROM.
Anybody else having this issue since the update?
Yes, I also have problems with the Google play music but the reboots are not frequent but still.

No, not many people are reporting this. What kernel are you running? Spontaneous reboots make me think kernel issues.

Kernel version 3.1.10-g05b777c
*777c is the stock kernel for 4.2.2 and been running that for 10 days or so, and no - I haven't seen or notice any random reboot - on stock rom.
Do you have any background APPS or widget running that might be doing this ??

I have Weatherbug widget and a battery widget running, I'll have to check those, although they hadn't caused any issues before the update.

Who's Going Back to Stock for KitKat?

Just wondering who is planning to go back to stock for KitKat?
When is the release date? the 28th or is it a rumor
I am. Of course the factory images will probably be released before OTA so I will flash them instead

No one knows for sure = rumor
I am
I'm on PA now, but will probably go back to stock when 4.4 arrives. As I heard over at ParanoidAndroid Community on G+ on 4.4 they're going to make it all over again, so it's going to take time.
Waited for PA 4.3, not going to wait again for 4.4
I am currently back on stock in anticipation of that sweet chocolatey crunch.
I can use AOSP or stock as long as Xposed Framework is working for it too.
After what happened with 4.3 update -_- I am going to wait for couple days before jumping to Kit Kat. Probably will wait for PA Kit Kat rom.

I literally just flashed back to stock today. However, I am considering flashing another rom because I keep losing data on stock. I can always flash the system image for KitKat when it's released.

I m already on stock. Will I get the OTA if iam on a rooted stock ROM?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium App
I'll go back to stock just to have the vanilla experience for awhile before jumping on a rom.
always been on stock rom rooted and twrp installed phone always takes ota updates just fine ......never seen any point flashing custom rom on this phone as phone is pretty cool as is ...only issue i have with the nexus 4 is that they knocked 100 off price 3 weeks after i purchased haha but love this phone
Will probably flash back to stock and then restore my current ROM as a second rom.
I will flash factory images and start all over with a fresh new phone. Hopefully it still has root. I wanna stick with stock for awhile now sick of various bugs here and there. For example, on cm my GPS takes hours to lock and even when it locks it isn't precise but on PA, GPS works just fine. The phone also lags here and there like when I initially turn it on from sleep and try to unlock or pull notification bar down. For me stock has always been faster than custom ROMs even though they have some really useful features

I just got a new nexus 7 2013. So I left that stock and lucky me on my Nexus 4 started getting base band unknown on anything but stock JWR rooted. So clean wiped and flashed stock. I had a Neo kernel system folder with scripts I couldn't delete. Feel much better now, couldn't say if I had ever clean wiped since getting the phone.

I will flash factory images.. I don't want to wait the OTA..
Already stock except for the kernel. Just a quick 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' of the stock 4.3 kernel and I'll be all set for OTA or Factory Images (though Factory Images would mean I don't even need to waste time reflashing stock 4.3 kernel.)
Probably going to use default stock launcher for awhile depending on the changes instead of Smart Launcher. Really like the rumors/previews we've seen of it so far. Especially since I am so embedded with Google Now. The left panel swipe would be awesome I think.

[Q] [HELP] Ive lost my mind trying to restore my phone

I have a galaxy s4 on sprint (SPH-L720). So about a week ago i reset the cache and data under Google services framework to get the update from Samsung. Well after quickly realizing how much i didnt enjoy 4.3 i wanted 4.2.2 back and began to look into flashing the old firmware back onto my phone. unfortunately i was stuck in the download mode or odin mode for a long time and after following many peoples different instructions on how to do it and not getting the proper results, i became frustrated. eventually in a desperate attempt to have a functional phone i tried rooting it, which got me out of odin mode. However, since i restarted the phone, i cannot turn on the wifi nor is there any sound. these were new problems among the same old problems that i had with 4.3 in the beginning which includes the video playback (which is non-existent). All i want to do is have my phone working like it did when i bought it with the android version of 4.2.2 with all the working features. any ideas?
I was going out of my mind too last night trying to go back to 4.2 but had no WiFi so I got fed up and just did the cyanogenmod installer video that qbking77 posted last week on YouTube which roots and installs cm10.2 all on its own at least it got me a fully functional phone for now until I get back home from work and try restoring again. Just thought I'd share a temp solution

If you accepted the ota too go to 4.3 I believe the issue you are experiencing is due to the Knox bootloader. Unfortunately I do not think there is any way to downgrade with Knox bootloader (for now). I'd try reflashing a fresh 4.3 rom and see if that fixes your issues.

Well I manged to restore stock 4.3 without a problem I guess it is that Knox deal

I reflashed with 4.3 and not only do i have wifi and sound back, but also i finally have video playback. it could be a more updated version of jellybean, either way, you, sir, are my hero. :highfive:
Hey guys you arent alone. There's hundreds of us....lol, try to make the best of it. Sac23 has a great rom. Check it out. There are also some other 4.3 based roms with great dev support available. It should help buy time till the devs can find a work around for the knox bootloader.

Nexus 4 Android 5.0.1 - Random Reboots?

I've had this phone almost 2 years now and never had an issue. Since I installed the OTA for 5.0.1 last week I've now had 3 random reboots. This is bringing back the nightmare of my G2X days. Anyone ideas?
Have you done a factory wipe? That's where I'd be starting. I never trust updates without a wipe. My sisters galaxy s 1 and 3 always got messed up every time she did an ota update.
I've never done many ota updates since I've always run custom roms.
Right now I'm running stock 5.0.1 on the n4 I just bought used and no issues at all but it got wiped as soon as I got it and updated it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
I would wipe everything and reflash 5.0.1. I have been running it on the N4 since it came out and have not had a single issue.
If that does not work, get a logcat of the issue if you can.
