and buy shut down you mean physically power off? or the screen turn off?
Cuz if its just the screen that is normal, its the proximity sensor

Power down

Its weird, I haven't had this problem on any other android phone, its happened twice in the last 24 hours. I'm completely stock. Unrooted

I can count on one hand the number of phone calls I've been on since I got the thing, but I haven't had it shut down on me any of those times.

I've had it happen every time when rooted and had apps. I went back to no apps and still had it happen. I went back to stock 2.3.1 via the nandroid around here and locked it back up, still doing it.
The only thing I didn't test was 2.3 vs 2.3.1 but I do believe it started happening to me, at least, when going to 2.3.1, now that I think about it.

I have this problem but rarely. It will reboot the phone show the nexus startup screen without the backlit LED. Is that whats happening to you?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Same here, and I have used every T-Mobile Android phone to date, never seen anything like this before! This is the only phone I haven't rooted yet, not sure what the issue is...

It only happened once so I didn't think anything of it.
I didn't know it was a common problem.
Btw I will be exchanging my phone cuz this one has done really annoying bugs, like freezing in between homescreen slides and apps constantly fc during use
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

ya i havent made very many calls, but thats why it kind of concerns me. i have probablly made 10 calls and i think its rebooted 3-4 times while on the call or at the end of the call. i wonder if its a bug with the phone app?

did you root the phone or something ? if its still on stock firmware like how you bought it, then try to restore factory sittings, if its still doing that you then you have a I/O chip problem. and you will need to replace your phone.
thats what the HTC care told me when my HD2 used to have this issue

I would believe it was hardware if it happened randomly, but for phone calls only, that sounds like software.

Happened to me just now. Stock 2.3.1 with an international call.

I'm not rooted, I just cleared data for the dialer app and cleared cache on the whole system, we'll see if that does anything. Good thing I rarely use my phone for making calls or I'd be pissed

Nexus 4 losing mobile internet when idling a long time in wifi

Hello all,
currently my Nexus 4 is losing it's mobile internet connection when i am a long time connected to a wifi. I am on O2 germany as a carrier, when android was much younger, like 1.6 i had the same issues, but somewhen on android 2.X it was fixed.
Somehow it looks like in 4.2 it's now the same issue
When i am just a few minutes in the wifi and lose wifi connection like moving away from the building everything is fine and the nexus 4 is switching to mobile internet
when i am a few hours in the wifi and to the same it's not switching, i've got cell connection for call and text but no Internet,
switchting from 2g to 2g/3g fixes it then, but it's somehow annoying
any ideas or anyone with the same issue?
edit:
seems that people are having the same issue on the galaxy nexus too, but even with older android versions

it actually happens to me as well. I live in Australia and thought the problem lies with my provider. And yeah I can get the 3g connection back when i tried to change to 2g then back to 3g connection. Has this issue been reported before? hope it can be fixed soon.

This has happened to me twice since I got my N4. I'm in Canada btw. I wonder if it is a frequent problem out there.

Me too...is there a fix?

my solution so far is: airplane mode on -> airplane mode off

This is what I usually end up doing. Although it sucks that a phone of this caliber has problems with this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Im having the same problem. Doesnt matter which rom im on. Been on stock, modaco, and some PA rom with this problem. Also used matr1x kernel and franco kernel. Solution for me is to jump into airplane mode and back.

I'm in the same boat and only quick fix is airplane mode on/off.

I have the same issue.
I dont know whose fault it is, Google, LG or my carrier... but it's quite frustrating from time to time.
I thought i had solved it by activating "choose automatically" in mobile network settings> network operators.
It worked yesterday and this saturday, i didnt drop 3g connection when i disconnected wifi.
But i lost it again this morning as i left for work, just like last week...

I've had this problem since 2.1. I seem to remember it being on the Google fix boards. The aeroplane on/off is the easiest workaround. But, still, it's annoying, and it is also not consistent. If it makes you feel any better, the same issue arises on iphones. This suggests it is not simply an android issue, it might be interesting to know if bb or wpx does it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

i think the issue is neither LG nor Google
i think it's something with qualcomm driver and the provider
because on older devices i had with qualcomm chips had the same issue
the sgs2 and the hox which had exynos and nvidia chips didn't had the issue

I have the same issue, and not thought about the airplane mode. Thanks guys
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

so if you check the google support forum thread
it looks like a lot of users are having this issues
i don't undersand why google is not even giving a statement

It happens to me very often, because I turn off data overnight. Airplane mode doesn't help, the only thing that brings connection back without reboot is Mobile Networks -> Network operators -> search... It finds my operator again and connection comes back. I had the same problem with Galaxy Nexus 4.1.2 (fixed in 4.2, though), but airplane mode did the trick there.

Internet stops working when left idle for long
I bought the phone a week back & am facing the same problem.....not just been with Wi Fi even if the phone is left idle the internet stops working & i have to restart......post that it comes back to normal & active.
Its quite annoying to restart phone every now n then everytime internet stops working.
Also, tried Airplane mode on/off its worked.
Are there any experts that can help to resolve the issue for a better & permanent solution....?!

[Q] Nexus wifi issue [HELP]

i just picked up my nexus 10
got home connected to my home wifi (works on my nexus 4, nexus 7, galaxy s3, htc one x+, htc g2, xbox, laptop)
nexus 10 connected to it but couldnt launch any webpages? or even sign me into gmail?
turned on my phone hotspot and my nexus 10 connected fine and loaded webpages with no issues?
unlocked and rooted my nexus 10 and flashed paranoid android seeing if maybe a 4.2.2 would fix this, but still no luck
my nexus 10 connects to the network but its like it doesnt have a connection?
anybody have any ideas or solutions for this?
i would appreciate the help!

Any ideas?

I had this issue a few days ago and another guy just made a thread on the same thing.
Mine worked for a week and cutout. Exchanged it and the new one hasn't had any issues yet.
The other guy exchanged his twice before getting one that worked. Both of ours connected to other networks than our own. Not sure why some Nexus 10's connect and others don't. And who knows of the ones we got from the exchange will continue to work.

i found somewhere online nexus 10 has trouble connecting to ARRIS routers
just found out thats what i have
some firmware issue with the nexus 10?
thing is it shows connected to my home networks but just shows gray bars showing no actual internet connection,(no blue bars) only a connection to the router itself
im trying to find a way to assing an a static ip now. thats the solutions they found
all other routers i can connect to perfectly

Arris is what I have as well, Through xfinity. A day after I changed my first one to a static IP address was when I started having issues. Did a complete factory reset of the router and tablet. Couldn't get anything to work. I don't understand how it worked for a week and just stopped. Then reverting to all the original settings on both devices didn't help.
Maybe someone with more networking knowledge can give us a good answer. I'm really having trouble understanding how a different nexus 10 will work having the same settings and firmware.

The quick fix I found for this problem.
Download connectify me on your pc broadcast your network under another ssid.
And my tablet works perfectly fine connected thru that
I'm still going to swap my router though

Any real solution yet? I have the same problem, my device connects to most of the wifis except the one I use at home. I got 2 actually, one router in my room and one in my dad's, the one in my room mostly never works.

No real solution. Don't think there is one I spent about an hour searching everywhere I could.
So far it looks like nexus doesn't like ARRIS routers (I have time warner,not sure about you guys)
But I'll be swapping out my ARRIS router for a motorola one this week and I'll report back here to let you know if it worked
That connectify me is working awesome though.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

great find, sich its such a hot issue you should make a thread detailing how to fix it using connectify me and also potentially reporting it to google.

That may be interesting: http://ir.arrisi.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=87823&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1807670
Summary: Arris has bought Motorola Home and has associated with Google.

OTA 4.3 - Bad WiFi

My Nexus 7 was becoming very unresponsive and pissing me off. Was on older JB version and Paranoid Android. I flashed back to stock/wipe all and then allowed 4.3 OTA update, rerooted. Now my Wifi is EXTREMELY slow. Buddy and I at work put my N7 side by side with his iPad on the same wireless at work and his was flying through sites, with mine timing out left and right.
Any ideas why the radios are so crappy now? Did I ruin something in the flashing processes?

Would love if someone had an answer for this. I have a stock N7 (2012) and have the EXACT same problem. Ever since it updated itself to 4.3 my wifi has been remarkably slow. Can't stream any video at all. I do speedtests on my S4 right next to my tablet, and the phone is 12mbps down with the tablet being about 200 kbps. It's unbearable, I can't figure out whats going on. Tried all the usual fixes with no help.

What normal fixes have you used? I'll see if they fix my issue.

The usual. Clearing caches, factory reset, reseting my router. What i ended up having to do was root it and put an android 4.2.2 rom onto it. Immediately solved my problem and I am pulling down around 12mbps now and can stream video :laugh:. I can't believe you and I are the only ones out there with this problem but maybe. I hope next update google will fix this, i like having the stock firmware on a nexus device.

Oh, ok. Thought there were some 'normal' tools/apps to try. I'm with you, hopefully something is found soon.

Quick question, what type of router do you have at home?

Try doing a clean install of 4.3
I'm not having any problems with download/upload speeds.

episodes of screen unresponsiveness after updating to kitkat

Hi everyone
So I update my N9005 to the official polish kitkat firmware and I've been experiencing episodes of screen unresponsiveness very often. Anybody else has this problem? Anybody managed to fix it?
P.S I'm aware of the counterfeit/unoriginal s-view flip covers issue which I'm having as well but the thread isn't about it.
Hope someone has a solution.

Hello, I have been experiencing moments of "freezing" or unresponsiveness as well.
For me, it seemed to be due to chrome or using power saving mode. (People in another forum were blaming their droid maxxs freezing problem on chrome) I disabled chrome and disabled power saving mode.
Then I started using opera. I experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using opera without the power saving mode.
I was thinking back to the first times that it happened and it seemed to be paired to the wifi download and upload symbol being active in upload and download activity.
I know that correlation does not mean causation, but I think it is worth exploring if the network activity is causing it to somehow hang.
This bizzar occurance made me perform a factory wipe leading to another round of issues involving processing err_0000, but that is another story; sadly, it didn't even fix the issue.
OP, are you still experiencing the moments of unresponsiveness? If you are, have you noticed the events that are correlated with the event?
Has anybody else experienced this or found a remedy?
It could be one of the apps from the play store that is not playing nice with kitkat, but due to the multitude of other issues, I'd say it is a kitkat or touchwiz flaw.
Thanks for any help.

I had an issue with screen not responding sometimes .....I figured out it was due to the flip case (original by Samsung). Although lately I haven't experienced that either.
Try using the original non flip case and see if you still have the issue.

I have never had a s-view flip case on mine. I use holster iblason case that has no interaction with the screen.
This only started for me once I upgraded to kitkat.

I just cleared the cache, factory wiped, and installed the Russian update N900XXUDNC4 and so far, the phone is a lot smoother. No hangups in the browser yet, but time will tell lol.

Battery life is looking good. Power Saving off, bluetooth on and connected to my smart watch.
I made one short call. I don't talk on the phone that much. I mostly use it for Internet browsing, music, and instant messaging/texting. I'll update on Tuesday when I have a full day at school.
Keep in mind though that the n9005 is the lte version. I have a n900, the non lte international variant; our battery life may be different.
Edit: 4/20/2014 same charge 70% 1 day 6 hours bluetooth, wifi, gps, and 1 Gmail account in sync.
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app

Even I experienced the same. My phone came with Kitkat installed. Freezing happens when a webpage is loading or the time i turn on Sync etc. strange thing is phone seems smooter when power save mode turned on.

I think it may be a problem that was not fixed until the March 31st 2014 KitKat build. I have been using Chrome heavily since I installed the most recent official rom; I have not experienced any lag or hanging system wide or in the browser. It reminds me of 4.3.
When I wiped and reinstalled the previous rom, I noticed the lag and unresponsiveness right away.
I'm going to use the browser heavily next week. If I have no issues, I think it may be safe to say that the bug was fixed in the latest kitkat with March 31st 2014 build date.
People with lag, do you have the lte variant or the regular SM-N900? I'm starting to think only the SM-N900 are being impacted by sour Sammy updates.
And if you guys wipe your phones, make sure to turn reactivation lock off because it could cause an error that will not recognize your real Sammy account and password. This phone has become stressful; I'm not updating it again lol
