Hi
2 days ago i bought a nexus 4, i unboxed it very carefully and turned it on, but there was no any Google or Nexus logo, at first i thought its normal but after 10 minutes i turned it off and on again, but same thing happened, after about 1 hour of trying, google logo showed up and i was able to work with it but with some problems, for example camera didn't work, then i updated it from 4.2.2 to 4.3 and it worked normal and i was able to use camera.
after 2 or 3 hours same thing happened again and now its 1.5 days that I am trying on and off options.
i held power key for 10, 15, 20,30 seconds like million times but nothing happens and every time i see blank white and gray screen.
unfortunately I am in a country that google doesn't support, for love of god please someone help me to make this thing work, i waited to long for this phone and i love its look and feel.
thank you all.
Seems like a hardware problem. Get it replaced

Why not? You can send it to your local LG center and get it replaced. It'll cost though.

Before returning it try using one of the tool kit and flash stock image. It could be an issue with software. Won't hurt to try.

Hello there,
I am aware of the fact allot of bootloop problems have already been posted.
I did read a lot of them (I mean A LOT).
But my problem is slightly different from the rest and I have been searching for an answer for 2-3 months now.
So this is my last hope.
I bought my nexus 4 some time ago, and like a lot of owners of a nexus 4 I got a bootloop problem since Android 4.3.
I have not messed with my n4 (like franco kernel and stuff), I don't know allot about that side of development.
So after finding out about unbricking and restoring it to default ( did al of it twice now ) nothing changed
My bootloop is a special one and I haven't found one like it ; when I turn my phone off , or when an App crashes my n4 (which happens quite more then it should be) then after I try to boot it it goes into bootloop. BUT when I wait 6 to 12 hours before I turn my cellphone on again then it boots normally. So mostly when my nexus 4 crashes or I have to switch it off in the afternoon , that means my n4 will only boot normally the next day when I wake up.
I tried contacting LG but they say contact google, but you simply can't contact google.
So yeah I hope someone knows what to do, I need help or I will have to buy another cellphone.
Also restoring him to Android 4.2 didn't help the first time. should I try again?

contacting google is easy. they have their customer service number posted at the online play store. call them, get your phone replaced.

The only number I found some time ago was from america, and I'm living in Belgium. Also something tells me they will not "replace" my phone that easily...
Also ; nexus 4 doesn't get sold in Belgium , I had to go to germany to buy it.
Maybe calling that number will be a later option , so thanks.

ahhh, that sucks.
My friend gave me a Note 3 of his for free before he left to thailand (he was helping me out because mine took a drink). So I was sooooooooooo excited to get off this lame nexus s. Problem is he has a passcode unlock and he didn't tell me it. He will be gone for 6 months and I don't know when or if I will be in contact with him (he's there for work). So my question is :
How do you take the passcode off the phone so I can use it for myself? I tried flashing the stock Samsung firmware from sammobile, and it worked like a dream, but it STILL has the passcode. This is such a headache I was really excited to have a good phone once again
if anyone could help me out this would be GREATLY appreciated, it's stressing me the hell out!!!
I dont know how to bypass the lock screen, and it may be illegal
But FYI, the Note 3 has 26 partitions, but when you flash the stock firmware, only 12 partitions have been flash. So the rest of partitions may store the passcode...

Put the phone into stock or custom recovery, whichever you have and then
do a "Factory Data Reset" and reboot the phone.
Once that's done you will no longer have problems with lock screen.
But you will need to add your own gmail account and so on.
Good luck!

sorry if i took too long to reply but i was trying the app on different kernels nothing works .... i know the hardware is fine because it use to work randomely but i dont know what is causing this app to act this way im dying to find one
Before tripping Knox why don't you flash stock firmware and take the phone back to Samsung to get it replaced ? You do know Samsung smartphones ship with 24month warranty ? i know you said hardware is fine but it sounds like it is a hardware problem to me.. As you have tried different kernels nothing works it's hardware not software... i could be wrong but try Samsung service center...
you could be write

well you might be right as im thinkin of it different kernels and still no luck so its a highly a hardware but since all kernels did not work as they supposed to i thought it might be rom related issue !! im still backing up my data and gonna try the new X-note V20 with their kernel " wish me luck "
well thats a good idea about taking the device to samsung the only problem is samsung company where i live in they suck and i do mean it ...
for example when i called to ask for their nearest location they said they dont support samsung smart phone ( huh !! but they are samsung device's ) they replied with there is another company thats handling the smart phones ... in my country ( Kuwait ) the repair shop is better than the companies and the repair shop dont know anything you dont ,,, most of them learned from the internet ... ( there are alot good repair shop but their too expensive ) im not gonna pay 75% of the device price just to fix the camera ... i would buy a new device !!
so a warranty means nothing i know it sucks but thats the true looooooolz
last reason for not doin that is
i wanna do fix anything i own myself i dont wanna depend on any repair shop or anything ....
anywayz im greatly thankful for your reply that made me think its hardware issue ... i might search for front camera part now if their cheap in amazon im gonna buy one and lets hope i dont blow up the device looooolz
Dude I know the centers suck they do the same thing here in the UK, Samsung don't handle the repair themselves third party deal with it. i had a issue with a galaxy note they replaced it with a new one within 7 days so it's not a long wait try here http://www.samsung.com/ae/support/servicelocation
And if you feel like replacing the front camera yourself ebay or Amazon are the best for parts by the way have you ever dropped your galaxy note 3 ??

That's a bit stupid you have to pay for warranty what kind of warranty is that ? Here in the UK we pay nothing not one penny warranty means manufacture pays for everything not end user.. Anyway can you paste the logcat to pastebin so i can take a look ? i'm no pro but there are some android pros on here they might be able to help?

Dude i doubt it very much you would able to install a Front facing Note 4 camera on a Note 3 for starters the connectors wouldn't most likely fit, And the camera might not be able to sit correctly in side the phone you can try but i can guarantee you will be wasting money time and money...

this camera and keyboard driving me crazy i swear im goin crazy !!!!!
So I've been lurking here since I got my Nexus 4 (over two years ago) to find answers to my problems and usually I've been able to find an answer.
Now, I think my trusty Nexus 4 has finally given up the ghost. I powered it off Thursday night and when I went to power it on Friday morning, I got nothing. It had over 50% battery when I turned it off, so I don't think it's the battery. I've tried to boot it just about every way I can find, but nothing. It's been plugged in most of the weekend and still nothing.
So I'm thinking it's time to start looking for a new phone , what do you all think? If anyone thinks they've got a way to get it to boot up, just let me know, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks!
It sounds like it died. I don't have any suggestions on how to get it running if it doesn't even turn on.

Does your PC detect it at all? Also have you looked in the Nexus 4 General section as there are a few threads about unbricking your Nexus (if that is, your Nexus is bricked and not dead), I'll try and find a few links for you now.

No, if I plug it in to the PC it doesn't see it all.
I read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/tutorial-how-to-unbrick-n4-t2347060
but I don't think it will work because I can't get it to boot into any mode I've tried.
If you're running Windows 7 go into Start->Control Panel(view by large icon for ease of use)->Device Manager and go to Action and scan for hardware changes with the Nexus connected just to be certain that it's just not being detected properly in its current state.
Also there was another guy with a very similar problem that managed to fix his (does require dismantling the phone, but it's not too complicated)

Thanks for all the help, I saw another similar thread about the battery, but since it was about 50% when I shut it down on Friday night, I didn't think about doing it. I guess it will be the last shot. I have one more day left of time off from my knee surgery, so I might give it a go tomorrow and see what happens. I'll let you know how it goes.

OMG!! I just got done doing the battery thing and it worked!! The odd thing though is that the battery was no where near dead. I only charged using that method for about 10 minutes and then it restarted the phone with 30% battery. I have no clue what the problem was . . . but I think I might take this scare and upgrade . . . maybe, lol.

OMG!! I just got done doing the battery thing and it worked!! The odd thing though is that the battery was no where near dead. I only charged using that method for about 10 minutes and then it restarted the phone with 30% battery.

Brilliant news mate!
If anything I'd say put a new battery in there (£17~) and you'd have peace of mind in the fact that it will be unlikely to happen again any time soon, plus you'd save anywhere upward of £150 on buying an upgrade!
