Nexus went from perfect to overheating and not charging

8gig bought from google, had it for couple of weeks now. Everything has been fine 0 issue at all, yesterday battery was down to 10% went to play a quick game of angry birds and bam had a random restart took 30 min for it to turn back on from that. Charging now takes forever and it heats up like nothing else. So what should i do
Contact Google and try to get this one replaced? or Is this a common issue and i should just wait it out?

may seem like a stupid question, but are you using the wall charger?

Stock, i recently installed the splashtop hd app and the pandora app, i was reading about issues with media server which I did notice was using 7 % battery un installed. Pandora and turned off splashtop did a reboot and now charging seems normal
Still want to know if that's the issue though

I noticed the overheating too. It was almost dangerously warm to the touch while plugged into the wall charge at 100% battery. Some other information, I am stock. I did install the splashtop 2 app but was not connected to a PC.
I still need to test things out before coming to a concrete solution. I also was playing the 4 days tower defense game.

Nexus 4 Shuts Down Randomly and Battery Problem

Help people, I have the nexus 4 for over 3 weeks and great but a few days ago when it was nearly full battery (around 80% or so) suddenly shutted down and I couldn't turn it back on until after 1 min or so plugging in. I did not care about it the first time ... But today, after having it charging about 2 or 3 hours I disconnected the cable to use the phone and the battery dropped from 90%+ to 8%, so I connected the cable and put it back to 100%, used it for 1 hour and it suddenly dropped back to 2% from 80% and then shutted down instantly.
Here are some screens.
Help please, and yes I have used the search function, but didn't find the solution on other posts.

What apps have you installed lately, maybe there is a rogue one. Install BetterBatteryStats for app behaviour and Cpu Spy for deep sleep issues.
Are you rooted? Custom rom or kernel? Undervolted or overclocked?

I'm not rooted, all at stock. I didn't touch the voltages, I didn't do anything. I installed some games (vector, pudding thd, order and chaos) evernote, mega manager, pulwifi.
I'll install betterbatterystats and cpuspy, thank you.
Edit: look what happened to the battery now...
Also I attached a pic of the cpuspy, I can't install betterbatterystats because it costs 2 dollars

I think there is a free version of BBS on XDA , here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1240843&d=1344068311. Consider buying it on Play in the future if it benefits you.
Battery levels can be inconsistent at times, especialy after deep sleep.

I see nothing abnormal on usage, just use the phone and see if this behaviour continues. If it does better do a factory reset or reflash the latest factory image.

Okay I'll uninstall the latest apps I installed and will use the phone normally, if this happens again I'll do a factory reset and if the problem continues I'll call google. Thank you :good:

I wish I could be more help but I had the exact same issue. I could not figure out what was wrong with it but I had previously broken the screen and sent my N4 back to LG for repair. Since it was still under limited warrenty from that repair I sent it back to them again. They said they replaced the charger connector. I got it back and it seems to work fine now.
My issue started after I updated to 4.2.2 I believe. I don't know the root of it but my advice would be to do what you said and call Google or LG.

Thank you anyway

Similar issue here - I've been using the same apps since I first installed them after N4 purchase (meaning no new apps/games installed in the last few days and no settings changed). Took a nap for a couple of hours and woke up to see N4 completely dead - 0% batt. Charging it now and looking at partial wakelocks etc, havn't seen anything out of the ordinary. Hopefully it doesn't occur again but in the meantime still looking for a reason why this would suddenly happen.

Are you guys using the stock chargers? And charging through mains?

Yeah, am on stock JB 4.2.2, unlocked and rooted though, no other change like new roms flashed or anything. I use the stock charger and charge through mains.

I think there have been a few threads with this issue and nexus4s even prior to 4.2.2 and supposedly it was hardware. I called support while talking it through she had heard a few similar cases and it seems to be a hardware/software design issue. My wonder is how can I enforce 'never deep sleep' because my kernel doesn't seem obey.
I woke up this morning with the indicator light on but phone dead requiring reset (charged though - if not overly so). Just now it died again while sitting on my desk at 80% charge and deep sleeping again.

I've read in a few places today the stock charger has been causing a lot of the charging issues and plan to switch to my old g2's charger tonight

Just RMA'd my nexus for powering off for no reason - would do it a few times a week (and extremely buzzing earpiece - which I was living with), never had a problem putting it back on though or had issues by battery levels being eratic) did quite a bit of testing over the space of a few weeks and found it continued to do it after wiping/fomatting everything and on Stock 4.2.2 non rooted and locked BL. As far as I am concerned if its still doing it with the stock out of the box set up its a hardware fault.

Mine has powered off unexpectedly twice in 30 days. Should I get it rmad?

Dunno about that its up to you mine was doing it 2-3 times per week. I would wipe everything including userdata, reflash stock rom and monitor before going through the rigmorole of the RMA to make sure its deffo a hardware fault. Biggest problem with the RMA is the fact they put a hold on your credit/debit card for the price of the phone. So basically if you don't have the funds available you are shafted (I think you would have to send off to LG in that case).

I got the same problem ..just that my n4 back cracked while was charging :-\

maybe you should try to flash other kernel and rom if you cant solve this issus. if your N4 is unrooted then just bring it to LG store, you got warranty rite ?

I had similar issue on my old G2,it was because my battery was old and needed to be replaced.

Same thing happened to me. Only once though. Charging from 14% then jumped to 100% in seconds. Rebooted, and it's back.

Its normal, nothing to worry about. Something to do with battery reading and sudden change in voltages or something.

what rizy7 said above... Nexus 4 has a bit of wonkiness in reading battery level, sometimes. Not sure if it's purely hardware, probably a combination of hardware and software problem. Google, for a smart company, does some stupid things. Just look at how they have handled the marketing and sales of the nexus phones over the years. Pure disaster. LG made a brilliant phone in the Nexus 4, great industrial design and some great stuff innards too. Then Google punted on day one on play store. A total chaos ensued, buyers were getting their orders deleted after they were confirmed. Such inept online marketing. Also, where is the after-sales customer service? No wonder the Apple fanboi's are laughing at us.

Same thing happened to me while debugging an app with ADB. Rebooted and it shows the real battery level.

Use all ur battery until it is empty, charge until 100%. Reboot into recovery and press on wipe battery stats.

Tap on "Screen" and tell us how much Screen on time is it. Its not just the % but it should be in the form like x hours xx minutes

If you look at the picture from bhtale it says 2 hours and 56 minutes and 49% left, sounds almost as the eu version or a little better, bhtale is that after update or not?

The EU version needs this update. I get constant overheating and battery life is very disappointing.

EU version is a mess. Lags not ending, phone heats up quickly WITHOUT benchmarking/camera/gaming. Just Facebook/whatsapp/Browsing.

I'm wondering if there's hardware problems. The 1st phone I got on Friday had lags and heated a lot. On Sunday the screen started flickering badly and I took it back to the CPW and got a replacement. My new one has been fine and generally lag free and doesn't heat up badly.

Need some help URGENTLY !!!
Anyone here can tell me what issue am i having. Currently using a LG G3 f400s, updated to f400s10g. Well in my country the telco i am using is giving me some problem on my LG G3. The telco support lte but when i use on my G3 the data signal seems to be fluctuating, meaning to say suddenly while FB the line cut off, gaming it takes a few time to login (online game), app store takes a few click only can download apps. The same telco sim card using on my M8 doesn't give this problem, only on my G3. Would be helpful if anyone can advice on this issue. Thanks:cyclops:

f400s10g Brazil
Hey guys!
I can install an Brazilian version on my LG G3?
Came from korea f400s10g
Tks

Great update
As of the update I have been getting WAY better performance (also running on ART) better battery, and not only that.......It has no effect on ROOT as i rooted with Super SU by just installing binaries and moved it to system apps and it is still there with no problem. I tried Towelroot on 10A didnt work but if Super SU worked im guessing Towel root will too.
Take care.

Battery health checker ?

Hi all, I'm just wandering if is there any way to check battery health ? an app or something.
Tried several apps on Playstore and all say that my battery health is good, but I'm having a battery drain and shut down from 25%.
thx in advance.

Try Accubattery, it showed the issue with mine when it was doing similar before Google replaced it.

AccuBattery shows 90% health for my battery, but still i get only 2.5hrs - 3 hrs Sceen-On Time with apps greenified and Aggressive Doze On. If you remember the details, would you mind sharing them here?

Mine was down at something like 30% just before it was replaced. Now its at 104% and I get 4-5 hours of screen on time.
Now just using stock Oreo as no need for root at the moment.

Interesting. I made the mistake of charging overnight at first. I only realised a while later that it only took 1 hour 45 or so to fully charge, so now I charge when I wake in the morning. Overcharging is supposed to be the main cause of battery depreciation.
When I first installed Accubattery I was at 91%, that was the end of June, don't think I'm doing too bad.

Like every Nexus phone I've owned ... since the Galaxy, I have left the phone on the charger 24/7. All day, all night. I take it off when i leave the house/office and sometimes it stays on the (stock) charger for days. The N6P has a high number of defective batteries, but that shouldn't change your daily charging habits. In other words don't change charging habits if the one device you have has a defective or sub-par battery. Put a new battery in and carry on. We have 3 N6P's in the family and they are all still above 90% according to Accubattery... Guess we are lucky.
