My N4's clock goes so fast - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just bought a N4 without guaranty.
Everything runs OK except the clock. It goes faster than normal, about 30 extra minutes every 15 hours. No matter if I set it automatic or manual.
It is rooted and with Purity\franco rom\kernel mix but it didn't even fix it.
Is there any internal hardware module which controls the clock?

Is it just the clock or the entire system .. like .. do games run faster? Does the typing "cursor" blink faster? Does it happen on stock?

It happens on stock toó.
I'll check with the timer and see what happens...
Nevertheless I haven't noticed anything strange but the clock's issues.

Just checked the timer and it runs about 2 seconds faster than normal.
How could it be?

Are you by any chance running close to the speed of light or flying in a space rocket?

It looks like it's the whole system. We used to have this issue back in the early days on the HTC HD2, flashing a different kernel solved it. But since you said it happens on different kernels AND on stock, I'm not sure what could be the culprit.
Have you tried complete stock? (stock everything with locked bootloader)
I don't know, I'm just suggesting... Sorry... I hope you get it fixed.

I've just tried flashing a new kernel. It didn't work.
Is there by any chance any kernel setting for controlling the whole system speed?

I wont advice slowing the whole system down just because of your clock.
The absolute worst I can think about it the internal clock crystal is a bit off (hardware-faulty) and will be replaced under warranty if you still have it.
- Im sorry, forgot that you dont have warranty anymore
A few things:
Have you bought it 2nd-handed?
If yes:
Did the previous owner have the same problem?
Did the previous owner flash any software?
In what condition did you receive your N4? (cracked screen? fall damage? water damage?)
If no:
You should still have warranty I believe
If it did came out of the box with this problem; go back to your seller, explain your problem and work out some kind of fix
Dont get me wrong, its probably a software problem somewhere, but some of the above might help finding the problem

Actually I bought it as a faulty and without warranty device (80$). It's been manipulated (cracked and fixed screen) so it has no warranty.
Nevertheless, it runs absolutely great.
What do you mean with internal clock crystal?
Thanks for your help!

<SOLVED>[Help] Lost CRT screen-off Animation & Proximity Auto-Off

Well I just recently made the jump to Gingerbread and was really enjoying the little perk of the CRT screen animation.
Just lately though, I noticed that it had disappeared.
As well, I've been noticing that my phone does not automatically turn off when I put it up to my ear.
My first 4.5.91 flash I feel that I botched:
I had flashed Nottach's Darkside ROM (v1.3) and his Evoluer theme (v1.0) and I was trying to set up some of Droid Shogun's SwitchPro widgets and messed with a screen auto-off widget. I thought this was what caused the problem in the first flash and I eventually ended up wiping my phone (much deeper than I kinda planned, too).
I reflashed Darkside and Evoluer again and the problem reappeared. Though I remember testing the CRT & auto-off before I flashed the theme.
I just now flashed Nottach's uninstaller (found in the Evoluer thread) and it brought me back to the stock AT&T theme (no Darkside theming), but that did not solve the problem either (bring back CRT & auto off).
I'm asking a couple of questions here:
1) Is this a known problem? The animation and or Auto-off disappearing for some reason, whether it's theme flashing, flashing that particular theme (Evoluer), or something else (kernel problem, etc...)?
2) Is there something I could have done that is easily reversible (something I ticked/unticked in settings?). I will also add that I always do a little Spare Parts tinkering when first setting up my phone. Could that have altered anything?
3) What are my solutions? I could always reflash, but that is a true PITA. Help, please?
Thanks for any advice or input you guys have to offer. Also, please let me know if there's anything more I can divulge that would help in your diagnosis.
At this point,
In spare parts you most likely ticked faster window animations....put that to normal and crt anim should be back....uh not sure bout your proximity problem.

Me too bro.
Just out of curiosity, you didn't run into any other problem with spare parts, did you? I'm just kind of at a loss as to how it messed with the screen proximity off and want to make sure there aren't any other seemingly unrelated things it could break.
Also, where did you get yours? Is the Market version still being updated? I just want to make sure mine is up to date.

I'm using kens Alien ROM, its pre loaded. And no not really any problems. I Use it for compatibility mode and faster transitions, other than that I don't open it at all. I don't remember it messing with the sensor like that, I might have not noticed tho I didn't leave the fast window animations on for very long, but not so sure why it would bug out like that. Spare Parts shouldn't cause any other problems tho.

[Q] A500 Lag During Charging

Hello all, I have 1 issue with my A500. Only during charger plug in, my tab become super lag. This problem started when I doing overclock using flexreaper extreme.
Tried to flash new kernel from eztery, upgrade bootloader to v8, and flash lightspeed ics rom. None of these works as I still have this problem. Even on recovery screen, my tab is not responsive when charger plugged in.
I don't know what caused this. Is anyone having the same problem? Please help.
im on the same but no probs while charging, maybe titanium backup,. nandroid and wipe all and re-install flexreaper
actually i've tried that already. Real format and wipe all and flash different rom and kernel. Strangely it just heppen while charging. Do you think this is hardware problem?

I never have this when on stock. Even after on flexreaper for few months also no problem. This only happen after upgrade to flexreaper extreme with OC. Weird.
have you clocked it back to 1ghz? might help you out? im not really sure dud srry

def take it back and get a replacement that's a hardware flaw another member posted about that then eventually his tab died and wouldnt charge up, if i was you matey i would take it back asap to show them the whining sound so they cannot say you did something to break it, plus you'll have that noted down incase they dont do anything and it then does break.

Tried that already, still have problem. I can minimize the problem by increasing the minimum frequency to 600+MHz.
The whine could also be capacitors (if any) on the logic board that are about to burst or something. Or something is overloaded and getting stressed out.
I don't believe its lag. The switching power supply causes some touch screens (such as mine) to become less sensitive requiring much harder finger presses

If it worked on other versions, just flash back to what worked before or back to ota for real proof. You said it worked till you changed software, so change back and prove it's not hardware.

I found some weird results by making a circuit. Try touching the tab with one finger and a laptop track pad with another. There's a tingle. I think it's a design defect internally - perhaps the screen assembly is touching something it shouldn't be. So in terms of a solution, I don't believe there is one, unless there's a way to earth the screen?

Tried flashing the stock ROM and still no luck. I don't think its a software issue.

Perhaps it is to do with the consistency of the power supply. My house is pretty old so I suppose there would be more voltage variation. When I get home I'll try and find a spare surge protector and see if it stops the issues. The actual existence of the issues is pretty sporadical though. There is no clear answer to this.
I do think you're onto something though

Look in the thread called "the LAG thread'. Check your storage, if it is nearly full, you need to do a factory reset and not let it get so full again. This apparent software bug hit my otherwise perfect Nexus 7, and the factory reset solved it. It's smooth as butter again.

Nope that can't be it. It was like it from the box and there's still nothing on my nexus can it be a defect? I've just checked and my CPU is at 100% all the time and all that's running is stock processes. I can post a screen shot if it can be of help. Also I've updated to 4.1.2 and followed the advice of running the forever gone app and deleted every item from SD card. It still lags.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I would try flashing it with a complete stock 4.1.2 rom from google . Maybe the original flash was bad from the factory... if you do that and its still lags send it back RMA ...
One thing that made my N7 lag the second day after I got was the damn "My Library" widget on the home screen. I got rid of it and now it's silky smooth. I also don't clutter it with a lot of widgets or anything.

You people sure are fast with the "flash again"and the "factory resets" (-;
Install OS manager from the market and look what's using your CPU that much.
go into the devices main settings, developer options.. first try enabling force gpu rendering. secondly, try disabling the animations(or try turning them to .5).

Give a try to my ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33104070
There's nothing wrong with your device hardware wise. Whatever is causing your processor to run at 100% is creating the lag.
Like others have said, find what app is causing at and let us know. It might just be the media scanner.

[Q] Impacts of Rooting Nexus 7 - Stability

I'm new to the whole Android thing but I used to install lots of roms on my trusty old Windows Mobile devices over the years. I remember then that trying out different roms sometimes meant things would stop working.
Here's my problem. I have a Nexus 7 and it works fine on stock unrooted 4.1.2. I think. I've used the Nexus Root Toolkit to (very easily) unlock and root it. When rooted on stock rom (4.1.1 or 4.1.2), it takes a couple of seconds to turn on from sleep, sometimes needs to reboot, sometimes the gyroscope/acceslerometer locks and doesn't work as it should...
Is a rooted Nexus 7 less stable/reliable than an unrooted one?

Rooting doesn't make a difference on stability (or shouldn't)
All rooting does is give you admin rights to parts of the phone not accesible without rooted. Basically...
Customer ROM's for the Nexus at the moment (and sorry about this devs but its true) are not yet up to par with the Stock ROM.
Its stable pretty fast and not bad with battery.
Hope this helps.
Right so after lots of erratic behaviour with rooted stock 4.1.2, I unrooted and relocked the boot loader. It was better already but I've also run the Forever Gone thing and it's now working perfectly.
I would like to root again but not at the expense of stability. I had previously use the Toolkit if it makes any difference.

Rooting and/or unlocking the bootloader will have no direct effect on stability. What you do with your device after rooting is entirely a different issue.

This would be true if it weren't a Nexus device. We can more or less compile the same ROM that Google shipped. CyanogenMod 10 in my experience has been rock solid stable, though obviously there are still some bugs, I have encountered none. I also used EOS for a little, and that was equally great.

Nope.
IF you flash a non stock rom and/or kernel, then it depends on what you use. Read notes and user replies.
Sometimes I do get random shut downs when not in use, both while charging and not charging. I am not sure if that is a 4.1.2 issue or if it's tied to the rom I'm using. Have had it happen on two different roms.

I lost the ability to control the music app with my headphone controls after rooting, it didnt happen when I opened the box and played with the nexus
Some apps are written to block rooted devices but there's no way the mere act of unlocking and rooting would affect overall stability.

After a day on stock rom I thought it was settled but no...
The battery drained down and after that it kept getting stuck at the Google Cross animation. I spent a while re-flashing stock rom and eventually it starts up. Sometimes. The accelerator issue remains but it is less frequent.
I contacted Google who put me on to Asus. They are going to send me an RMA number and we'll take it from there.
how do you revert or reset to a factory state???
I´m new with the nexus 7 so really have no clue
To reset your device, go to "settings", then "backup & reset", and finally "factory data reset".
The difficult in waking is something I went through with my N7. I found there is a bug with the auto-brightness setting. If I use the manual option I don't experience any problems.
I rooted my N7 the day I got it (had experience with SGS and Gnex) and haven't looked back. I haven't had any other issues than the "sleep of death".
Hope this helps.

If you mean stock non rooted, then the above will set you back to factory.
If you are rooted, that will not remove the root. You will need to flash a stock image to completely return to stock and then re-lock the bootloader.
I seem to have had more problems if the power runs down. I have turned off the auto brightness and I agree it's better in terms of starting up. I still have the issue with rotation not always working. Also, I notice it takes several seconds for the screen to come on when I press the power button. Is that normal?

Okay now it's getting weird. I got an RMA number and they are due to collect it tomorrow and fix it. Since I got the RMA number it has behaved perfectly. I did make a video of the problems but since making the video I've not been able to reproduce them. The battery is down to 14% now, will see what happens when it is fully drained. One major difference is the power button instantly switches the device on whereas it used to wait a few seconds.
Can hardware just fix itself like that? I'm concerned they'll get it and say they can't detect any problems and charge me for the shipping...
I'll keep on testing until morning but if you guys have any ideas please let me know.

I've used Wug's toolkit to return to compete stock. It will wipe everything. It's a two step process, you will still need to lock the boot loader. Go read the thread in the Android development section.

It's fine, even rooted so have cancelled the RMA. Hopefully it was just a short term fluke.
Several weeks on I have had no more repetition of these problems. I did have a line flicker occasionally before installing 4.2 but even that problem has gone away now. I just don't understand how the behaviour can be so unpredictable like it needed to settle into its new home or something.

Startup atrocity.

I'd like to vent that after owning this phone for however many months I have, the startup time is aging me. Is it just my phone in particular or do all Nexus 6's take years to turn on? Not having a reboot option on stock is a tad bit annoying too. Just saying.
It's pretty slow for me as well even with a reboot option. I heard it is due to the encryption. If I am wrong please correct me.

if you unencrypt, it boots much faster. also, on m, my encrypted n6 takes about 55 seconds to boot. a reboot option.. if you have root, you have many options. first one is entering reboot, or reboot recovery, or reboot bootloader into a terminal emulator. plus there are many widgets and apps that you can use.

i actually agree, even though its easy to get into the bootloader the same way. if nothing else works, using widget that i created from the terminal emulator code works fine(root).

Franco's Simple Reboot app is also a possibility: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=simple.reboot.com
And as of v4p10 it actually does a safe shutdown (didn't before).
The Secure Settings app does a proper and safe shutdown too, and also has widgets.
The nexus is not all that exciting until you root it.

My stock (LMY47Z), rooted, un-encrypted, Nexus 6 took 52 seconds to boot completely from an off state to the lockscreen.
Also a side effect of ART

How often are you booting your phone that this is bothering you? I haven't rebooted in a week.

Mine is also LMY47Z with rooted and un-encrypted took 48 seconds to boot from off to lockscreen. Seems faster than yours but don't know why.
I'd that's the biggest gripe about the phone I'd say it's a pretty good fit for you...
Is this thread for real? Seriously?
As with above. How often are you rebooting your phone that it's become an 'atrocity'?

It's a long boot time is it not? I might boot once every few days to once a week. Whats the difference? I find it annoying and was *****ing about it. "Atrocity" was me being humorous, relax a little.

The number of apps and/or app sizes would be the greatest difference in boot times, I'd say.

Boots up faster than almost any phone I've owned. Exception being my moto x 2013 dev. It booted insanely fast. I'm not encrypted tho so that may be why it only takes maybe 30sec to lock screed. Try going to an early jb device or if you want to be in pure hell a gb device and wait a minute or 2 to reboot.
