About two months ago I upgraded my Maguro Galaxy Nexus from 4.2-BETA1 to 4.6-BETA6,
and since then my phone has a lot of bugs,
it take a lot of time to switch between screens,
sometimes it just lock itself for no reason,
and I get a lot of 'System.UI has stopped', and recently my phone just turned off while charging (I had to take the day off :crying, and to turn it on I had to pull the battery out.
do you have any idea why it happens?
what is the last known stable version?
can I downgrade without wipe my device? I don't wan't to install all the apps again.
thank you.
That's a big jump. You should clean flash.

Long term lurker, new member.
Had my I9100p for a year now and have only just got round to rooting and playing about with roms, god knows what took me so long!
Rooted 2 weeks using the Exynos exploit and patched the bug.
Installed Titanium Backup Pro and begun tinkering and freezing apps.
Spent a day or two convincing myself I was only rooting to freeze bloatware and improve performance and battery life.
Decided I wanted a new ROM as I was bored of ICS.
Flashed CWM recovery with the Clockwork Mod app.
Made complete backup using CWMR and TBpro
Chickened myself out for a few days.
Committed. Downloaded Rootbox V3.2 (slightly older and running 4.1.2 but this was an I9100p ROM) and saw the light. Speed and battery life through the roof. Light usage day, (40+ texts , Twitter/FB checking , 20 mins of phone calls and maybe 20 minutes of internet browsing) only used something like 25% of the Battery.
Got bored of 4.1.2 and wanted to see 4.2 in action.
Downloaded and flashed JellyBam V7.7 (Yesterday)
Customised the look, played about with it, got lost in all of the settings.
Changed my RIL as it was not working particularly well, think it may be because my Baseband is for the i9100p but im running an i9100 ROM.
Flashed NFC enabler from a thread on this forum , activated NFC and gave me the options back, however couldnt seem to disable the NFC just kept re-enabling itself and drank 30% of the battery overnight by keeping the phone awake for 10 hours(the time from me flashing it to me getting up the next morning).
Flashed the NFC remover. ( I can live without NFC )
Today I have mostly spent trying various tweaks and settings to help battery life(disabled media scanner, apparently a known bug which can drain battery). Will give it a few days before making a call on whether I keep Jellybam or flash to another ROM/back to rootbox.
A few minor bugs I have seen so far include,
Loss of screenshot ability due to disabling media scanner for battery life- Not a major dealbreaker but a bit of a PITA at times.
Soft reboots on unlocking, still see a few people beginning to mention this on the JellyBam forums.
[*] Fairly major- No data or 3G connections.
It is addictive, I want to flash another ROM and compare the differences already!
So thanks to all of the hard work people on this forum have put in and to all of the developers who make things like this easy and possible to the masses, although you may have destroyed all of my free time for the near future!
yep, it is addiction... flash flash flash flash
Hi... I hear ya bro... I'm on a super nexus ROM for about 4weeks. But I'm getting ready for a change. Thinking of trying a cyanogen ROM next...

Just reflashed back to RootBox - I loved the look of the JellyBam but the contant soft reboots and the issues with the signal drove me to dispair in one day! haha

Can't wait to try out Rootbox, have been hearing mostly good stuff about it.
Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my nexus that i'm looking for a little imput on. My nexus was doing fine when a number of things changed so i'm not sure what might be causing the issue. I bought a pogo charger and upgraded to 4.4.3. I had excellent battery life (used device all day and battery lasted all day) until 2 weeks after making those changes.
Suddenly, i started experiencing random crashes and reboots many times a day and about 10 days ago, the tablet won't stay on if not plugged in. sometimes the tablets screen will flicker and go off immediately after being unplugged, sometimes it'll go off after a few minutes. With the battery flunctuating between 0% charged or fully charged.
Since then i have called both google and samsung, who proved to be extremely useless not i'm out of warrantee. I've upgraded to 4.4.4, didn't work, flashed 4.4.3 and 4.4.2, and neither have worked.
So i'm thinking its a firmware issue and i'm just going to replace the battery. So my question is: Do you think this is an internal problem or just a bad battery and could it have been caused by the pogo charger?
I've been searching these forums for quite sometime and they've proved really helpful for tutorials on flashing stock images and such. Thank you so much (in advance) for your help!
Yea it most definitely could be a battery issue. If you the right tools you might want to pop off the back and take a look inside for any loose wires, bad connections etc.. I can relate to the battery issues but what you have going on is most likely a hardware problem.
I had excessive battery drain and freeze ups when I updated to 4.4.3. I've gone back to 4.4.2 and no issues, I did do a wipe when installing 4.4.2 but it was worth it for me.

What the hell is wrong with the Nexus 4? I thought it was Google's eldest son and would care to treat it to a few bug fixes once in a while. And stock Android? Biggest joke ever in the history of man. My bloated AT&T Galaxy S4 was 100x more stable than this piece of junk. Ever since I got my phone in August, the Nexus 4 is STRIFE with bugs. I can't remember the last time I used the phone without a major bug happening in a day.
-Randomly shuts off. This is F*CKING huge. I will press the right button to turn off the screen, and it won't turn on again. I have to hold the button for like a minute straight to restart the phone. What the hell is up with this?????
-CALLING DOES NOT WORK? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A PHONE IF YOU CAN'T MAKE OR RECEIVE CALLS? I HAVE RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM ALMOST EVERY TIME I RECEIVE A CALL. I have to restart the phone, wait for 2 minutes, then call back the person. This is EXTREMELY frustrating.
-The Youtube app works like 20% of the time. I am not even kidding. I expect the app to malfunction than work. It will spin on forever or it will give an error. And no, don't ****ing tell me to restart the phone. I'm not doing that for a video.
-I have a screen lock and I can reply to text messages without unlocking the phone. What the hell is the purpose of a screen lock if I don't have to input that in?
-The battery percentage is completely off half the time. Sometimes it goes 0-100% charge in like 2 hours and sometimes it takes 5 hours. The longer it takes, the longer the battery lasts. This is so frustrating when I have to go somewhere and my battery is 20% at noon.
-The wifi won't connect sometimes and the data won't turn on even if I have full bars. I would have to wait like 15 minutes for the data to turn on.
There is literally so many bugs, I can't remember them all right now. Stock Android my ass. Someone please direct me to a bloated ROM that is stable than this hunk-o-junk.
Do you feel good screaming at nobody? Got it off your chest now. Your phone has obviously seen better days, if your that unhappy with it then don't continue to use it. My nexus 4 still runs like dream no matter what version of android I'm on. The only bugs my device has either comes with stock Google issues or custom ROM bugs. Most bugs are from dirty flashing over and over I'm sure you know that. Wi-Fi bugs would be kernel related if not hardware, your battery sounds like it's gonna catch fire soon. I can't stress enough that these issues your having require your investigating to localize wtf is going on. I hope I've helped.
You bought a phone nearly 2 years after it was released? Was it new, or did you buy it second hand? What version of Android are you running? Are you rooted? Are you running Xposed or other mods? Custom kernel? What have you or the previous owner done with it? Have you done a factory reset?
Cuz mine is 2 and a half years old, and apart from the charging port being a bit touchy with a worn power cord, it's fast and stable.
I mean, if you're looking for a solution to problems, you have to tell us what's going on. Otherwise, you just look like a fool that likes to complain about crap that nobody else (for some reason) is experiencing.
Nope... My wife's been using her N4 for two and a half years and haven't experienced any of those.
Sounds like you have a faulty device, sorry.
seems like your current device has some issues, in general nexus4 very good and fast device
The nexus 4 is not buggy. You bought a broken phone that powers off and your screaming that the phone is buggy? Use your head.

It doesn't mean the majority of people are having issues. Did you not notice that there are still lots of people on these forums that aren't complaining of such problems? I wouldn't put up with random shut downs, so if mine ever did that, I'd be done with it.

I bought a used lg g2 and the LCD screwed up days after I bought it. Should I go into the g2 forums and tell all the people that are completely happy with their g2, that the g2 is junk?

The random shut downs are annoying.. Although you'll probably find it hasn't shut down.. If it's anything like mine it will be on, but won't turn the screen in no matter what you try.
Try plugging it into a PC next time it does it.. 90% of the time it will be recognised, you can even get minimal log cat messages.. But nothing I have tried will awaken it.
Mine didn't do it from new but it's getting worse now.. Nothing seems to fix it, have reflashed many times.
The other problems aren't common on the nexus 4, but I've seen the shutdown one on a few different devices now. It's certainly not even close to all of them, but enough are starting to do it.
Sounds like you have something wrong, I am running 5.1.1 rooted, with the LTE hack, and it is fast and stable. No random reboots. You might try running a logcat and see what the issue may be. Clearly you are not looking for help, as you provide no information or detail as to your handset or specifics on the issues you are seeing. Do you feel better to vent? I would put my N4 up against any other handset, even 2 years later.
Let him scream to himself. Useless thread, it has no purpose but relieving his feelings. Here is not the place for that.
I can recreate a lot of issues OP mentioned. I also have the random shutdowns, enormous battery drains, no sound in calls, etc.. I got my phone on day 1 and it seems that these bugs get worse lately.. Unfortunately I don't have the money to buy a new phone right now, so I'll have to just live with it.. I spent countless hours trying out fixes but nothing really worked permanently..
Could all of this have to do with production batches or hardware revs? Mine is a rev11 bought new in Sep 2013, I never experienced any of these bugs (except for the sleep-of-death which I've only come across twice on KK, so not a reoccurring condition). Ironical that you haven't mentioned the ONLY widely acknowledged bug affecting the n4 (which 5.1 seems to have finally solved): the infamous camera reboot. Only Lollipop helped for me; as long as I was stuck with KK it was a feckin nightmare!
Sorry for the poem, just giving my 2 cents about what's an acknowledged bug and what is not.

Logs are free if you want some help. Could be the hardware, but without knowing details impossible to say.
I had the camera reboot once in the 7 months I've owned this phone. Happened when I went to take a picture in a message I was sending directly, which I dont do very often. That's the only reboot or crash I can remember ever happening to this phone. Nothing like my sisters s3 that freezes almost every day since she got it apparently.

I dropped my N5 a bit too many times, and the last drop this morning was the last straw I guess. The screen no longer works. I need to revert back to my N4.
I'm going on a 3 week trip in a few days, and need a responsive, stable ROM with a long battery life. Tweaks and features are not important to me. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I go M or stick to L, or even K?
Blisspop, Lollipop Rom, it's very good
Can't go wrong with stock kitkat man. Clean flash through fastboot.
Just wondering for those running android m whether there are any problems with the builds? For example, camera crashing, screen blank on wakeup, wifi issues, battery drain, and memory issues requiring reboot every week, etc. Basically, any issues with android m on n4?
I would like to upgrade, but I'm hesitant based on my experiences with the official lollipop release (I went back to kitkat).
Thanks.
With a Nexus in your hand, there's only one way to move and it's a no-brainer which way!
I have been on Marshmallow for almost a month now and it's pretty stable and a little faster than stock 5.1.1 (in loading apps as to what i feel). Battery life became an issue at first when wifi ate up all the battery. Resolved it later by disabling wifi scanning. No major issues now.
Give it a try, you'll probably like it.

A no brainer tbh the best (for me I use Minimal) I have ever had on my mako
I started playing with M when the alpha builds came out. I eventually settled with the 'Pure Nexus Project'.
Never had a problem so far... <knock on wood>
Thanks for all your replies. Time to get back into the rooting and flashing routine!
