Hello, I have installed Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2 on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013) for a few months now and I have a problem. Sorry if I wasn't supposed to write here about my problem but I didn't know where I was supposed to. A month ago I was using my Nexus 4 which had Paranoid Android version 3.9.x and it randomly rebooted. So I let it reboot and it turned on normally but after a few seconds on, it was rebooting again. And it kept doing the same thing, over and over again. So I went to my Nexus 7 to look for help on Google or on XDA. So my Nexus 7 wasnt connecting to my home WIFI so I reboot my tablet to see if it would connect to my WIFI. So the exact same thing happend to my tablet. It would turn on for a few seconds and then reboot. The exact same thing as my phone. So that night I tried everything on my phone. Leave it off for a while, factory reset, delete cache and dalvik cache but nothing fixed it. So I flashed the stock image file to my Nexus using the Nexus Root Toolkit and my phone was normal on stock. But the thing is, I left my Nexus 7 alone because I really didnt need to fix it at that moment. I turned it off and left it alone as I went to sleep. When I woke up I turned my tablet on and it worked perfectly! As if nothing ever happened! So I ignored the problem that had happened. But today I was updating Paranoid Android to 3.99 RC2 and flashed it on my phone and tablet. So everything was working normal and then my Nexus 4 froze completely and I couldn't turn my phone off. So when I finally could turn my phone off, I went to my tablet to look for help on my tablet and the WIFI wasn't working. So I rebooted it and it did that exact same thing. It would turn on for a few seconds and then reboot itself. So I turned it off and left both my phone and my tablet alone. After an hour I turned both on and it will still do the same thing so I turned off both. I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me! :crying:
Do you have Chrome Beta installed?
It cause this problem.
Explanation:
Tuesday afternoon I was getting out of my car and dropped my phone like I have done hundreds of times but this time my N4 with the official bumper fell face-up into a small stream of running water on the side of the street. I quickly picked it up and wiped it off and tested it and everything seemed ok but I turned it off to be safe. I came home about an hour later and put it in a container of rice and let it dry overnight with a fan blowing over it. I booted it the next morning and everything was working as it was the day before.
At this point I was stock everything, no root and never been rooted.
Fast forward 2 days laters my device has been plagued with random restarts and/or turning off. At this point I had not installed any new apps or changed any settings so I'm pretty confident it was some rogue app causing this trouble. So I had planned on doing a factory reset but 4.4 was out so I decided if I was going to set everything up again I might as well try the update. I decided to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507021 and everything worked fine. I cleared the cache and everything, a fresh start. I had no errors trying to install CWM or the ROM and KitKat worked on my phone just beautifully but then it started rebooting/turning off again.
So I went back to stock. Erased the whole device and flashed the radio, bootloader and 4.3 hoping/thinking it was 4.4 causing the trouble but still the same thing. I don't know what else to do so I have come to you XDA!
Weird behavior I have noticed
phone will boot when charger is plugged in
sometimes can't turn on phone without the phone charging - fastboot or normal boot
When I say turn off I mean like the battery has been pulled out of it
Reboots are completely random, sometimes vary from a few minutes to couple of hours of booting up. It happens when the phone is idle and it happens when I'm using the device in more apps that I can remember.
Scenarios & Outcomes
Full boot in 4.3 - Turns off eventually
Full boot in 4.4 - Turns off eventually
Safe mode boot in 4.3 or 4.3 - Turns off eventually
boot into fastboot - Restart the first time then it works as expected
boot into stock recovery - Restarts
boot into cwm recovery 6.0.4.3 - Restarts
Turn on phone - Reboots after google logo shows and boots normally only to turn off eventually by itself
Overclocked too high? Rice blocking cooling, maybe blow compressed through it? Good luck!

Hi, I have a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013 edition) on Stock Android 4.4 Kit Kat and I've had a problem for a while now. The problem is that my phone and tablet reboot themselves and then works normally for 10 seconds to a minute when it boots up and it crashes and reboots itself, and it keeps doing that, over and over. It's a loop. It starts when my phone reboots on itself and on my Nexus 7 it will disconnect from my home Wifi and if you reboot the tablet, it does the same thing. This is my 5th time with this problem and I can't find out why it happens. This has happened to me since I've had Android 4.3. I have always fixed this by leaving both devices off a day or two and then It would work like normal. Then the problem would disappear for a few weeks and then the problem would repeat itself. This has happened to me on Paranoid Android on 4.3 but never on stock until now. I thought it was a problem on Paranoid Android but now I see it's a problem of my devices. I'm actually on Android 4.4 when I got this problem again. I actually left both devices off for 2 days and it still has the same problem. I don't think it's because of any apps because it actually crashed on me right after I did a factory reset to my phone on the setup screen. Can someone please help me?
Hey Guys,
I've been having problems with my nexus 4 randomly shutting down itself. The problem is sometimes when my phone goes to sleep mode it doesn't wake up again when I push the power button. There is no shut down animation or anything, it just randomly turns off. I have to long press the power button to reboot the phone. I'm currently on PA Final 4.41 along with hellsdoctor R20 kernel, this happens on both Dalvik and ART. My brother who is on a completely stock nexus 4 which was updated to 4.4.4 via OTA has the same problem as well.
I'm thinking it might be a bug in android 4.4.4 but not sure. Anyone have a fix for this problem? Thanks so much.

Turn off auto update apps in playstore. Happend to me before to. Something happends when on wifi and phone in deepsleep the playstore auto updates the apps and it doesn't respond and I have to keep pressing the power button to power it on.
I have no more shutdowns since 4.4.3. But I use stock rooted.

I will try to turn off my auto update but I don't think it's the problem. My brother's phone which is completely stock, not rooted and has auto update off still experience the same problem as well.

My mother's full stock nexus 4 with android 4.4.4 experience no such problems
Same here
I got this crash today too. It just got stuck. Forced reset and it's ok. But again, this happens since 4.4.4
And i get some crazy lags on Google+ sometimes ... and this is a first. Don't know if it is the app, rom or Kernel.
I am on Paranoid Android 4.4.1, with Franco's kernel and running ART.
Also i am running ART for a long time now and never had any problems.
So I tried turning off Google Play updates and the problem persists. It usually happens around after the phone has been on for 30+ hours. Gonna try to switch back to Dalvik and see if the problems persist. Never had this happen before only after updating to 4.4.3+ ROMs have this started happening. Very stumped as to how to fix it
Right, so I think I cracked this one...
I handed in my headset in order for customer service to fix it and of course they flashed it with Googles 4.4 image(had to upgrade to 4.4.4 once I turned it on)...
After rooting it and flashing a bunch of custom roms I suffered from the same problem, it drove me nuts but I remembered it didn't happen when I upgraded from 4.4.2 so I downloaded a 4.4.2 image and flashed it(used wugs toolkit-the manual option) flashed TWRP recovery and a custom rom and I'm random shutdown free for the last few hours, hope that helps...
same problem here 100% stock android 4.4.4 (using nova but can't imagine that matters) last night was the first time i picked up the phone and pressed the power button... nothing. long pressed the power button for 8-10 seconds and it booted up. now again about 15 hours later i pick up the phone press the power button and nothing. never happened before and i assume its something to do with the 4.4.4 update. i dont use auto updating in the play store and this has literally never happened before yesterday.

Try a 4.4.3 kernel like hellscore b47 or if you think it's a wifi issue a 4.4.2 version like b46 with the wifi fix.

How many hours has your phone been on? Mine usually shutdowns itself after 30+ hours.

I just reflashed PA 4.41 and running the kernel that came with PA. I believe it's the stock android one. Let's see how it goes.

When did you update to 4.4.4? I never experienced this on 4.4.2 either. Only started happening after I updated to 4.4.4. I think for me it happened the first night after updating.

The only thing I can tell you is, that 4.4.4 causes a lot of problems recently. You are by far not the only one with this problem. I've also experienced random shutdowns like yours, bootloops, devices not turning on again...
Especially stock 4.4.4 causes problems. I could not identify the problem or bugfixes by now. It is really complicated since some devices work fine with 4.4.4 and some dont.
I only can suggest you to flash a 4.4.3 rom. That is the only work around.

Approx 24 hrs atm
same problem here...
Same here.
I have had the same problem since i updated to 4.4.4... except mine shuts off only when i touch the screen (like pull the menu down, open a app, ect.) so, I went and did a factory reset, nothing changed. downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit, did a flash stock to 4.4.4 again, nothing.. Then now I have tried another flash stock to 4.4.3 but now have manually updated to 4.4.4. I will reply again to see if this changes anything.
My Nexus 4 is completely stock, not rooted, never tampered. So I am very surprised with this issue, but I have had another issue.. Along with the shutting off issue I have a problem which so far was fixed with the first Flash stock(i think) I would use my Nexus 4 with signal for texting and using data but when i went to actually use data like to search something up it would randomly say i have "no service".. not sure why it did this, happened when I had 4 bars and didn't move..
Still not working
After I did the Flash Stock to 4.4.3 and then manually updated to 4.4.4, my nexus still doesnt work. Dont even bother trying it.
I have the same issue however with a mail app, while the phone is perfect without the mail app
Ever since I installed 5.0 on my Nexus 10 I've been having a problem where if the screen gets turned off, wifi will shutoff, which is great for saving battery but not for downloading a couple of Gigs of comics while I sleep. I have the option set to never turn off wifi when sleeping, but it still does, I've toggled it on and off and rebooted with no fixes. When 5.1 came out I did a complete wipe of everything, all my personal data, downloads, everything back to factory except with the 5.1 image. Thought that might help, but I still have the same problem.
I've always run Stock on my Nexus 10, never installed any ROMs, was briefly rooted, but that was a year or so ago and didn't' feel the need to re-root after an update.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or what I should check?
Thanks,
Andrew
My apologies I realized I forgot to put the [Q] in my title and I am unable to edit the title of the post.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this?

This is strange, I've never had this problem on stock. Are you sure you wiped /data? A full factory reset through twrp should take care of it. If that doesn't work, you could try another ROM. I've been using Chroma 5.1.1 on my Nexus 10, and it's beautiful.

I'm not using any ROM. This is stock. The one time I wiped out was using the built in factory reset.
Is you Nexus plugged into power while it is asleep. If mine is plugged into the charger wifi stays on even if the tablet screen is dark but the tablet is still operating. If it is running on batteries wifi will turn off when the tablet goes to sleep and reduced power mode is activated.

Doesn't matter if it is plugged in or not. And it is set to never sleep WIFI. So it should't matter.
I am having the same problem with a Nexus 10 I just picked up. Its 100% stock and came with 4.2. I upgraded it last night and it was downloading the updates with the screen off, but now I'm on 5.1.1 and the wifi turns off a few seconds after the screen even though it's set to always on.
