Since i got my Nexus 4 I had a problem. The device crahs in irregular intervals. But it doesn't turn off completely. I just can't wake it up again. The notification led still keeps flashing (if I got a message in hangouts for example and didn't read it before the device "crashed"). I need to press and hold the power button till the device turns off. Then I need to reboot it. This happens not very often but it's very annoying and turns my nexus in a unreliable device. The first time it happened an alarm was set. I overslept...
This happens with stock 4.3 and 4.4 and also with CM
Things I've tried to solve the problem:
- factory reset and full wipe (multiple times)
- flashed complete firmware again (original google images for 4.3 and 4.4)
- flashed CM
- installed a custom kernel
Maybe it's a hardware problem???
What can I do?
actually I'm running CM10.2.1 + hells-core kernel

Hi There,
Shortly after updating my Nexus 4 to 4.2.2 OTA today the screen went blank and I've been unable to get it to function correctly again.
The phone is still showing some signs of life, I am getting notification LEDs and I am unable to unlock the phone with facial recognition even though the screen remains blank - I can tell from the vibration and the LED stopping that it has unlocked. Pressing the power button to lock it starts the notification LED again.
I have tried a hard boot (Volume Down + Power) and the screen did come on to display the google logo followed by the X but as soon as they had been shown it returned to a blank screen.
Does anybody have any ideas of what this could be or how to solve it or should I contact Google in regards to this issue?
Thanks in advance for any help
seems like the OTA update has corrupted somewhere. You should reboot into bootloader and use fastboot to flash the stock 4.2.2
Is there anything else worth trying before doing that? I wouldn't have a clue where to start as this is my first android device
Ok so I got it working but did lose all my data. If anyone else comes across this issue I had to boot into recovery mode and do a full wipe/factory reset. The first time i did this the phone started up with no problems but during configuration when I entered my Google account the blank screen strangely returned so I again did a full wipe in recovery mode, skipped the 'set-up google account' step and then entered it manually later in settings once the device had started up.
No idea what caused this and if its a bug in 4.2.2 or an issue with some settings in my google account that are being backed up and restored to the phone but either way I had no problems until 4.2.2 update installed and the issue occuring even after first data wipe rules out any third party apps being the cause.
I had a similar problem after updaing that the screen stay blank and it wo'nt unlock
As soon as i disable the bluetooth the problem solved.
It's happened when i paired it with my pc
Hi Guys,
I am having trouble with my i9505. When I am trying to boot it gets till the Samsung Logo and then nothing happens. Sometimes it reboots, sometimes the Display stays black. Sometimes it boots to the lockscreen and then reboots.
Here is what I tried to do:
- Factory Reset
- Flashing new Custom Rom
- Flashing Stock Rom via Odin I9505XXUFNB8 & I9505XXUBMGA (rooted and also not rooted)
- Flashing only Modem and Bootloader
- Flashing different Custom Recoverys and Stock Recovery
Sometimes I also can not boot into Recovery. I can always boot into Download Mode.
I already bought a new Battery (no changes). When charging the same behaviour.
ONE MORE THING: Phone always crashes seconds before getting to the lockscreen while booting! Is any hardware triggered in this moment (like a special ram, memory or something???)
So for people like me I want to start a threat concerning the most frequently HARD BRICKS.
I found nothing like this in any other threat so please do not close!
hi...
I'm really desperate, my phone is suddenly dying and I have no idea why, I'll tell you from yesterday what has happened:
- I'm playing a stupid game and suddenly the screen goes black. No led, phone doesn't answer any button, nothing. I hold power button, nothing. Remove battery and put again, nothing. After some attempts phone turns on, but just after starting it reboots or stays frozen.
- I decide to change the rom (I had simpl rom), so I do a full wipe and put CM 12. It seems it works, but when I'm in the settings, at the beggining, I don't even have time to put the wifi, it starts rebooting again and/or not responding.
- Desperated, I install via odin the stock firmware from Sam Mobile. It seems it's gonna work, but when the dialog of "Android is upgrading -- Optimazitating app x of XX" it always gets stucked in a number, randomly. I never get to the 230 apps.
- As a last chance, I try Kies to install factory firmware. The same as before happens, but now it's only 17 the number of apps it tries to optimize.
These last 2 times, of course, I enter recovery from time to time (now the default one) and wipe cache partition.
My phone is agonizing, what the f is happening? Does anybody know what could happen?
Please help...
hi guys i have an issue with my device (i9500) since i had a bad efs partition which i successfully restored from a backup.
The device works perfectly, but as soon as you lock it, and wait a few seconds, you can't unlock it anymore. Screen stays black, and the only way to get it started again is by removing the battery. Then it keeps on working perfectly, apps, games, everything is fine, as long as you don't lock it (by pressing powerbutton or auto lock)
Either then it crashes or restarts.
Things i've done already:
- Soft reset
- Hard reset + cache wiped
- tried many different roms
- fresh stock rom installed with Odin.
Problem still persists.
Disable lockscreen till you find another solution.
Hi Guys,
I am facing a peculiar kind of problem in my phone (G900F) since yesterday.
What happens is that, if I tried
i) To restart my phone from the phone (reboot menu), the phone stuc in boot screen and then vibrate twice then after 5-10 sec the phone start rebooting all along once again with 2 vibration and this process keeps repeating until I pull out the battery.
ii) To access recovery (both hard- key combination or from reboot to recovery option in phone), the phone reboots and it stays in the initial screen for about 45 seconds and then the screen went black and freezes there until I pull out the battery.
iii) To access download mode ( both hard- key combination and reboot to download mode option in phone), there seem no problem.
The weirdest part is that, if I remove the battery for 5-10 min and re-insert the battery and do any of the above options; the phone reboots and i get the home screen loaded successfully with no problem . I can also get into my recovery after this 5 mins switch off just like the above. I also found the phone lags a bit in this home screen.
I almost did all the combination to get off this problem (stated below) but I keep getting this problem again and again.
I was in Sixperience v 3.1 with Pheonix Kernel v 10 and Philz CWM recovery and tried the below to try to fix the issue
1. Re-flashed Kernel from Recovery (Also, tried to re-flash kernel after uninstalling Xposed but no use)
2. Re-flashed Modem and Bootloader from ODIN once again (G900FXXU1CPF7_BL_G900FXXU1CPB8_MODEM_LTE.tar)
3. Reflashed ROM once again as a fresh install through Philz recovery.
4. Restore the cwm backup from recovery (which was backed up a week before.)
5. Flashed Samsung Stock MM ROM (G900FXXU1CPFH_G900FPHN1CPFD_PHN.tar.md5) as a fresh install.
After this stock ROM installation is done, the phone struck at SAMSUNG flashing logo and the blue LED keeps glowing for more than 30 mins)
Nothing works. ? Any idea on what is to be done to fix this issue? I am not sure, what i did but this problem keeps coming even after trying of all of the options since yesterday.
