I sideloaded the OTA from stock configuration about 2 weeks ago, and since have experienced random freezes about 5-6 times.
At first I thought the phone was actually just randomly shutting down on its own since I couldn't turn the screen on, but then I noticed that the notification light was blinking (not red). Also my battery stats show the weirdest thing when this happens -- battery is not discharging, and everything is inactive except for wi-fi. Screenshots below.
Every time this has happened has been after a period of inactivity (after I've put it down for more than 30-40 min). I've experienced no other problems besides this so far.
Has anybody experienced this? Do you think a factory reset would help?
Note the OTA link and sideloading guide I got was from here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2mgh8o/nexus_4_lollipop_ota_link_and_update_guide/

It's called the screen of death, and it's a long standing issue with the N4. See:

Aw crud. I have never experienced this before lollipop and I've had my N4 for 2+ years. Wonder if it would go away if I reverted to Kitkat. In any case, thank you for your answer.

Loving the Nexus 4 (stock JOP40D + root) although I'm having some issues with the phone sometimes rebooting randomly (1-2 times a day)
and today it turned itself off during a long call (after about 45 mins) and would not boot again.
I pressed all combinations of buttons, plugged into the charger and it would not turn on.
Left it aside for a few mins, pressed power+vol and it booted normally as if nothing happened.
I then went to check the battery settings, and noticed a strange gap (screenshot) like the ones I was getting on my S2 after this kind of reboot.
Any ideas of what could have caused this?

Thanks. Could that really be the case though? It didn't feel hot in my hand
I'd RMA it. I'm getting an RMA device for a "faulty battery". Many Nexi have shipped with dud batteries. Not sure if that's your particular issue, but call Google.
I know most of the time a restart will fix this issue but I have been dealing with this for 3 weeks. Continuous restarts and no change.
Is there any way I can fix this without doing a factory restore?
I have tried restarting after full charges,
I heard that while disconnecting the charger keeping the screen awake will help but nothing.
On latest stock 4.4.2

Most likely it is an app you have installed. I use Greenify from the app store to hibernate apps that have wakelock issues. I would start there. You have to be rooted for this to work.
Got this reboot or whatever (see battery graph) yesterday evening. Only noticed, that i needed to enter my boot up pin again when I put the phone out of my pocket.
Was this my first random reboot (never had one before) or could the tight pocket of my new trousers have triggered this somehow? power button pushed down too long?
isnt the gap in the graph weirdly long for a usual reboot?
is there any way to find out what happened there?
thanks much!

anyone? :l
Don't worry about one random reboot. If it happens again and you notice a pattern, then ask the question. Android phone can have random reboots for a craaazy amount of reasons!!

Hi everyone!
Everything what I write is about stock rom:
After upgrading from Jellybean to Lolipop, I had a serious battery drain problems because of "Android System" even though I did hard reset a few times. I decided to go bback to Kitkat and had no problem with it. But nowadays I wanted to use Lollipop again thanks to its design and upgraded to 5.0.2 TRV30d with PCSuite. But still I have this problem, "Android System" uses a lot battery. I
You can see battery usage statistics, there is a problem with Android System in Lollipop but I can't understand the problem. I need your help guys!
I've only talked for 5 mins and connected to Wifi most of the time. I never turned on GPS, Bluetooth or NFC.

Let the phone settle for a week and report back then.

In my first upgrade-experience I've used it for more than 1 months with this battery problem. I've tried everything, including using the phone until it turned off with %0 battery and charging fully.
Phone suddenly ended up like this.

Doesn't matter if you go to recovery or download mode, it can't display anything else other than that. Is it a hardware problem? If so, what could be the cause?

I think I have the same problem as you, but I can go into download mode and recovery. Another problem also is that my phone also randomly becomes frozen with similar scrambled pixels that while in the middle of a task (i.e. browsing the web, social media, etc.) I would like to ask you, how long have you had this phone for and have you rooted it? Because this problem occurred a few weeks after I rooted it. It could be either rooting it (which triggers KNOX, which is a fuse or something which blows, so it cannot be undone) or a battery issue since my phone is approaching 3 years. It is in light of recent events concerning Apple and with slowing down their phones to prevent things like this. However, I am purely speculating but yeah. As of now, I am not aware of any fix and am pretty sure this is a hardware issue since I have flashed many custom ROMs with no success. (Sorry this is a long read. )
It's definately a hardware issue.
