I was using my Galaxy S4 and suddenly the screen turned green then turned white.
I had to take off the battery and then re put it. I tried to turn on my phone but it wouldn't turn on.
after a couple of minutes I tried again and it turned on and worked normally.
What was that for and what is the problem?

Buggy app?

I don't know, I haven't downloaded any new apps that could cause this to happen.
It was working perfectly before.

Well a crashed background process
Or any random crashing can cause something like this to happen.
Dont worry. If the phone is working fine now, just use it.
Things like this happen at times

Until yesterday if I had an app like Pandora or ESPN Radio playing/running when the screen kicked off the app would keep playing. However, now when the phone goes to sleep everything else gets shut off. I have not altered anything myself per se. Even uninstalled a few apps like AutoKiller [which I had installed for weeks and everything worked fine with it on and installed] but the problem persists and remains. This really perplexes me as I want/need these apps to play with the screen off like they did before. For the life of me I don't know why this is; nor can I find anything in settings to change.
Help!?
I haven't noticed this with Pandora but the NPR apparently stops playing about 15 minutes I turn the screen off.

Hi,
Im having some problems with the gyro, or the accelerometer.
It seems to work fine when the phone is just started, but after a while, not sure how long, it stop working. I can no longer use the browser in landscapemode by tilting the phone, and games like labyrinth stop working. (Seems like some sensor give full output...).
A reboot of the phone seems to help, for a little while.
Anyone else having problems with this?

i guess it's not just me, i thought it was just from my phone. I think it's a software issue.

Stopped working again now. Took 30 minutes or something.
Uncheck and check the Autorotation does not help..
However, google sky map is still working, even if it feels "choppier"...
Edit: Sky map stopped working as well now...
i am having similar issue with the auto rotation when i attempt o text message!
Installed a sensor debug program, and all accelerometer values a fixed...
And after an restart they are moving just fine.
Any chances this is a hardware problem? Going back to europe in a few days, so if I gonna try to return it, it has to be soon...

Same here, happened to me just once when in like the first hour of using the phone. I restarted, never happened again after that.
First thing I do wit my phones is turn off auto rotate. I did he same with Nexus S. I decided to turn it back on for a change. Turns out autorotate won't work at all! I rebooted, and it still won't work.
EDIT: Okay it seems to work now, except the home screen. Do home screens not work in landscape?

Ok I'm pretty sure this is a software issue, I have replicated it many times first open Google system maps and mess a round with it a bit then when you come out you won't be able to rotate unless you reboot. Try it people.

Had this issue the second day I got it but ever since I restarted it. It's been fine!
I have been using my phone for more than 4 months now.
Till now everything was fine, but 2 days I noticed my battery was draining very quickly and yesterday suddenly my phone started freezing while using it. The only way to reboot is by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. I also noticed that it never happens when the phone is charging. I phone is running stock rom. I tried reseting it but still it is freezing. So I wiped the entire phone memory and flashed the stock OS again. But the problem is still there.
Somebody please help me. :crying:

Funny I'm also in the same situation. Recently restored from a backup ( from 301k nexus 4 to my current 303k nexus 4) and lately ive been getting a load of lockscreen sleep and my phone constantly restarting or I'd have to hold power for a few seconds.
Just wondering if maybe i should reflash rom as a whole? ( i already reflashed kernel if anything.)

You could reflash the factory image but first make sure this isn`t caused by a runaway app/widget. Most of these problems are caused by user apps most of the time. Install BetterBatteryStatts and cpu spy for app behaviour and cpu deep sleep.

Earlier when I used to restart my phone, the battery app used to show a huge drop in charge, but now the battery app resets itself and shows that the device was on battery only since the restart.
I am getting frustrated, now whenever my phone is inactive for 10 mins, the phone wont unlock and it crashes

I hope this is what you asked
Another thing I noticed is that the phone works perfectly when it is plugged in and when on battery, it wont hang till battery level reaches 91%-93%, but after that as the battery level drops the crash interval becomes less. When it is around 25-30% the phone sometimes freezes even during restart. Will it be a battery problem?
Hey guys,
So I was on PowerUser 2.0. For months I was fine but it started going nuts yesterday when I woke up. I somehow managed to get it back to stock JellyBean but there are still the same issues.
What is happening:
I can get the phone to start. Sometimes it goes through the LG screen multiple times, though. It usually freezes up 2-5 minutes after startup and just restarts. If the screen turns off it's even more likely to be frozen. This is more like the black screen of death -- can't get it to turn back on but the phone is still "on."
Then I have to hard reset it and go from there and rinse repeat.
Is this the hardware failing? Any ideas for what to do?
Adding on to this. The led is blinking in a weird pattern when the screen is off(not when it fails to wake up but just in general). I'm able to use it for hours at a time now but I think it may have something to do with heavy use or it heating up. Just seems weird that it is still functional and everything seems fine it just seems like I can't get the display to come back on. I'm relatively sure the phone is fine behind scenes but then again a lot of the freeze ups come with the phone on and the whole screen just won't react then it restarts on its own
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No ideas?
So I can get it to work generally if I just keep using it. If it heats up it seems to restart a lot. If it does start restarting I generally have to hold the power until it is fully off to restart it or it just loops the LG logo.
There's times when it goes hours between restarts, and then times it does it every ten minutes. I really think over heating has something to do with it, but I have no idea for sure.
I can't seem to find anything like it online
So I'm using a loaner phone and am letting the battery run out on the g2. It hasn't shut down once when I'm not using it. So like 3 days of uptime.
Does that help anyone with maybe pining down what's up?

Hello, yersterday night my phone was working perfectly fine, but this morning when I woke up I saw the display turned pink with 4 black stripes, I cant post pictures links, but I uploaded it to imgur.com / gsiX0m0.jpg (no spaces)
So, I reseted the phone in case that would fixt but since then I cant access, when I press the central button the screen turns on perfectly fine with normal colors and the touchscreen working, but after 2 or 3 seconds the screen turns pink agai and I cant click on it, atfer turning pink it starts to fade it away slowly (or some times it just turns off and auto resets instantly) and I have to wait around other 10 minutes to be able to turn it on again for other 2 or 3 seconds.
Any idea what this could be?
Also my computer is not detecting it...
Thank you very much and I hope some one is able to help me.

I think your gpu is damanged. If you still have warranty then send it back and let it repair.

resetting or restarting?
xXPR0T0TYPEXx is probably correct, but i would recommend that you try another battery if you have one available before sending it back.
