When pushing the top right to get to notifications/battery screen my screen turns black. Helped to turn the power off first time but now it is starting to happen again -.-
I really don't get why there has to be SO, SO many bugs on this expensive device. It's just insane!

Yeah that happens only if you are in call and want to access the notification and start menu, the proximity sensor will activate itself.. very very annoying but I understand the concept. Other than that, it works really fine.

Accually that is not the case for me - it consequently happens all the time no matter where I access it from - the start screen, browser etc...

Hi guys!!
I recently installed Cerberus anti theft to protect my Nexus 4.I noticed that you can easily power off the phone altough the screen is locked.
Is there a way to prevent this?I mean that you have to unlock the screen first and then you have the right to power off the phone.

Are you worried about someone getting access to your phone? I have Cerberus and if my phone goes missing, I just use PIN lock from the Cerberus website.

The point he is trying to make is that if anyone got the phone they could just shut it off and none of your commands from Cerberus would be received.

You mean the hold power for 10 seconds? That's a hardware feature you cannot disable.

Not only the continuous hold of power button but also when you press it for 1 second it gives you the option to power off the phone.I don't want to stop this but I want to happen only when the screen is unlocked first.Isn't there an application for this?

That does you no good if the phone is powered off. He is looking for a way to disable the power off feature at the screen lock swipe/pin/pass (whatever it is you happen to use). When you correctly input your secret swipepin/pass you can then power off the phone.
I too am in need of this. would have helped recover a lost phone that I am looking for that would be easy to locate if the thing was actually powered up, but since it can be powered off without first unlocking the main screen I think I may be **** out of luck.
Greetings,
I've got a question. Do You have the same problem when calling someone else?
When I hold my phone up to my ear the screen turns off, everything perfectly. But now I wonder if You have the same issue:
My screen won't turn back on when I take the phone away from my phone. This means After every call I've got to press the Home/Lock button to get back to the phonescreen.
I am used to stock android where the phone turns back on when You take away the phone from your ear. Is this normal for Galaxy devices?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I'm new here, a friend refered me this page to ask for some troubles I'm having with my Nexus 4.
I bought it from ebay about 4 months ago. For all this time, it worked perfectly, no problems at all, running fine.
The thing is that this last week the telephone is doing strange things. While using it, at a few minutes of use, "phantasmal touches" occurs, getting hit the buttons from back, back to desktop and last applications.
Also, after some minutes, or just touching the screen for scroll, the slide malfunction, getting harder to slide, even sometimes this doesn't works, but touching stills operative (sometimes not).
The only way that temporarily works, is locking and unlocking the screen, but problem still appear again and again.
Tried also to restore it (like as it was new). But nothing.
Hope you can help me with this. Thanks.

You should see an image of an Android with a red exclamation point.While holding down the*Power button, pressVolume Up.Use the Volume keys to scroll down to*wipe cache partition*and press*Power*Button*to select it. The device should clear the cache instantly.*Select and press the*Power Button*on*Reboot System Now, then see if the issue is resolved.

The problem stills, for example, im in facebook or whatsapp, i slide up and down for reading, and from the nothing it's harder to slide/scroll... it's not that sensitive as before. I mean, with just a slide of the finger at early is scrolls fast, as it must be, but for some reason, after a few slides, with the same finger slide, it just scrolls a bit.

Have you tried cleaning the screen with (alcohol free) screen wash? Otherwise it sounds like a hardware issue or something wrong with the touch drivers.

Even with the screen protector? Can try it. If it's the touch drivers, how can they be "reparired"?

It's probably the screen protector causing the problem, take it off and then try using the phone again and see what happens.

Well, for the moment I've done a wipe from all data, the other option from the "recovery menu", and it's been a while using it, and the problem doesn't shows, non of both i mention.
Let's see if this continue like this. Tomorrow I'll let you know.
thanks for all!
after this post, it came again T-T

Nothing, the problem still persist.
I'll see if I must clean the screen (it has a screen-protector althought). If not, I don't know what to do, unless I send it to someone if can repair it or something... :crying:
