Hello fellow xders, I have a problem with my nexus 4, I've tried almost everything but nothing really works, let me tell you the previous build when it's working normally.
When working:
*Unlocked & rooted.
Rom: CM 13 Rom nightly build
Kernel: CM 13 stock Kernel
Recovery: TWRP 2.8
Everything works fine for some months until 2 days ago I tried my nexus for VR using Google Cardboard that I bought online.
After using it, my phone starts turning off by itself randomly, and now I can't even boot to my rom without my charger plugged in.
I've wipe everything, using my new TWRP 3, I mean everything, even my internal storage, but the phone still won't work without the charger plugged in.
So i thought, maybe it's the battery. Please note that my phone never had any problems before, I mean ever.
So i thought battery is the problem, but turns out I can boot to my recovery rom all the time without a problem, the phone turn off by itself only when I tried to install the new CM13 rom, the same thing happened when I tried install another rom.
Does anyone ever have this kind of problem before, i really need help, thanks.
With the phone powered off, does the LED come turn on after inserting the charging cable?

No, it's not turned on like usual. and when i tried to do "Data Format" in TWRP 3.0, it gives an Error, something like /dev error 255, i don't remember the whole line.
It's probably something to do with the memory card error perhaps? What do you think?
Now I downgraded back my phone to stock condition, i unrooted everything, even locked my bootloader back.
Now i'm using stock android 5.1.1, with factory settings, here's some condition I noticed with stock factory settings:
1. I still can't boot properly to my stock rom without the charging cable plugged in. It only shows boot animations for a while and suddenly phone turned off by itself.
2. I can boot into the stock rom with my charger cable plugged in, and after I get inside the stock rom, I can unplugged the cable and everything seems to work normally. So I don't think it's battery problem.
3. I think the problem has something to do with the boot sequence / internal memory / internal memory partition / block, cmiiw
Please help me, I don't know why things go like this after using VR cardboard, I wonder if it's the cause.
Thanks a lot for your reply, sorry for my bad english
After booting into stock, how quickly does the battery drain?

and it's probably caused by the accelometer, it's just my hunch, but when I changed my ROM to CM13, my phone won't auto rotate automatically. probably the CM 13 kernel didn't handle the accelometer correctly. and when I use it for 360 video which use accelometer rigorously, it makes the accelometer worked too hard or something, or the cm 13 kernel didn't handle it correctly and it affect my whole hardware. it's just shooting in the dark, but i hope it helps you with more information a little bit.

i haven't tried using it for the whole day, but for the past 2 hours it works fine without charging. the drained percentage is also very small, because i don't have many apps installed yet, and i didn't even use cellular data connection. but for phone call or sms it's working perfectly without any problem

but despite everything, you're right about one thing, my LED doesn't turn on when charging, it's not usually like this. i didn't notice this before, what does it mean?
Wow, this is strange and it does appear that the battery is fine. I don't know what else to suggest as you did everything I would have done.

The lack of a led when charging is normal in a stock rom.

Hmm, never tried to recalibrate an accelerometer.
I have the same problem, the device just works plugged in charger. I read some threads and the problem in all thread are solved with a battery replacement.
Yep, I'm afraid this is indeed a battery problem. Had the same issue with mine Nexus, it worked as usual, then it suddenly went off and didn't want to boot again without the charger plugged in. Worked perfectly in a recovery, though. Replacing the battery fixed the problem.

No, but my Nexus have this issue just recently. A service shop says this is a motherboard issue, I hope isn't. The devive has exactly the same problem in this thread, and I read others similar threads and all were solved changing the battery.
(Sorry for my imperfect English, I not speak english naturally)
I wouldn't trust a repair shop to properly diagnose the issue as it was really only discovered from trial and error.
Batteries should be cheap and fix the issue. either at a repair store if that's what you tell them to do or do it yourself
One question: Should my phone be with the stock rom when the battery is changed? Have any relation or possible problem if another rom is installed?

If you can get anyhow the phone to turn on ... with charger...
then install an app called Ampere and chack if battery is charging or not ..
Also if battery is charging fine ..let it go to some 50 - 80 % charged then remove the charger and check at the rate at which battery is draining,,,
Also u can buy a battery and change it your ... but carefull while buying as our device is old and the market is flooded with cheap Chinese stuff..

WIP AOSP 7.0

working smooth ..only flaw i find is inbuilt music app is not working.. but google music which came with gaaps is working.. and camera app is old...I have yet to root this device, after that will remove the music and camera app.. and get the google stock one..
Hi, i updated my B190 to B550 and after that, batterylife went almost insanely bad. On B190 i could use phone almost two days and now i have to charge on days. I ran Battery Calibration when i updated. After few days still bad battery life.
Could problem be that i didn't do factory reset ?
Doing factory reset is the best practice to do to ensure the new firmware works at its best. However, I tend to avoid doing that(lazy...)
Battery is worse for me too, going from b524 to b550. Google play services seems to be misbehaving, using about 3 times more battery than the next software(Android OS). Uninstalling updates seems to help, but other apps may complain. Also, Themes appears as big background consumer from time to time.
Because i'm so lazy. Is the easiest way to factory resetting using TWRP

I always do hard reset after flash or upgrade and no issues at all. So yes, hard reset is a must.

twrp is for rooted devices. I personally prefer the 3 key combo instead of reset from within the menu.

the google apps are "bastards"
I kep only Play and Services all other gaps disabled including the webview. It helps a bit (+3 hours) so if not pushing hrad running almost 2 days. Also, when using Auto On Off (23:00-6:00) keep phone running easily 2 days.
Yeah, but because i have TWRP so i tought would it be simplest way to factory reset . Will try when i get to nearby chargee
I'm still experiencing random reboots from time-to-time. The other day it was at least 4 times in an hour. I can't isolate the problem. It has happened to me on stock rom/kernel and also rooted/custom kernel.
flash the factory image. as far as i know random reboots are not an issue with this device. must be a rogue app or something messing you up

Do a search here and on reddit.com/r/nexus6p for reboot and you'll see it's a fairly common issue
I get random reboots also, but for me it happens every couple days, mostly when i'm watching a video on an app or youtube

Huh. Just experienced this myself. I was playing music and all of a sudden, the 6P reboots itself. Will have to monitor this going forward.
Stock ROM (rooted with Xposed).
I have had only a few sporadically across many different factory images. I can see no rhyme or reason to it. If it started to happen all the time I would use my insurance for a different unit. I do notice my power button is easy to press so maybe it's getting held down in my pocket. My HTC One would do that when I sat down sometime because the fold in my pants would press right on the button. Took me a while to figure out why it kept happening. Not sure that is the case here though. I would like to know why it resets sometimes.

my reboots happen while watching any media (movie/music) from any app. It doesn't happen all the time, but randomly, once every 5 days about

Maybe the throttling isn't working right. Could be overheating.
Got my 128 GB OP5 last night and it has been randomly rebooting on me while doing random things. I am trying to figure out a root cause and factory reset the phone again to see if I could figure it out as well but it seems to happen from doing anything as simple as pulling down the notification bar to activating Google assistant or just scrolling through my settings. Nothing seems to be repeatable as it happens intermittently. Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and may have figured out what caused it otherwise I guess I'd have to order a replacement
No, works fine here.
i dont have OP5 yet so no reboots
No reboot until now but i can't pair any bluetooth device (Sony Smartwatch 3 and Jabra Motion Headset)
Mine hasn't done it yet but the wifi performance is abysmal, random pauses when transferring files, Facebook stopped while trying to set it up.
I have been using the phone since yesterday morning and haven't had any issues at all, not a single bit of lag, no apps crashing or anything. If a reset didn't help it that means it must be hardware problem. I would return it and get a replacement.
Yes, performance seems bad. Had a few reboots and WiFi download speeds are awful.

I've successfully paired a bluetooth keyboard with trackpad and a Wahoo Tickr HRM and both seem to work fine. The Wahoo seemed more difficult to connect but that may have been just operator error. I've not had any lock ups/reboots at all but haven't had the OP5 24 hours yet.

Quite the opposite for me as the WiFi is stellar and the 5Ghz speeds far outstrip the Nexus 5 this OP5 has replaced.
Haven't had any such issue on mine yet in Canada (8GB/128GB) *fingers crossed*

I've had the same as you -- Bluetooth Pebble & Car & Headphones have all worked amazing (including using AptX HD), and my WiFi speeds have been stellar (>50MBps download (Yes, MBps, not mbps)). My WiFi has not been cutting out in the corners of my house either, unlike my old phones and even laptop!

Yes, it's an issue for me. I've been in touch with OP Bug Hunter staff, and gave them the logs they requested to pass along to engineering to figure out why.
Yeah it kept rebooting on me even today so just got off the phone with OnePlus and an RMA has been created for a replacement device to be sent. Hopefully the next one isn't a problem, I'll keep you guys posted on the progress.
Umm had phone since Sunday not had any issues but today while on a call the phone rebooted it's self and again 20 minutes later just on home screen , I'm stock latest build , bought from O2 store should I take it back and ask for replacement while within my 14 days ??

Mines fine no issues build date 13th June
My phone is back with oneplus now so according to them should have a new one within the next week. Good thing I didn't sell my oneplus 3 just yet
I had two random reboots today and one random shutdown.
All these happened in my pocket and i realized the reboots due to vibration from reboot.
And one time I pulled it out of my pocket it was turned off.
Hi,
Got my phone Yesterday.
Started seeing random reboots today. Running latest version. I also did an factory reset of the device after I upgraded to latest version..
Any way I can troubleshoot this? Could an app be causing something like this? I do suspect that this started after installing Snapchat.. But I'm not sure..

I'm getting random reboots about every other day or so. Would this be indicative of a software issue versus hardware? I figure if this many people are having issues, but many are not, the hardware may not be a problem? This is my first OP device, so I'm just guessing. Hoping if it IS a software issue they can release an update soon!

Just got back from O2 store replaced with new device although it's the same manufacture date as one with issue 6/6/17 so far ok but it's only been on couple hrs so to soon to say, I'm convinced it was since 4.5.3 update as didn't do it before update but while i was in my 14 day return thought replace it anyway , I did contact 1+ before hand to ask if it's software or hardware all I got in reply was !! We will need proof of purchase to continue replacement procedure , that made alarm bells ring so hence straight back to O2 as it's far quicker than retuning to 1+ , I'm currently on 4.5.0 and not keen on updating ?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
When I turn my phone off from Android it will not turn off. It gets stuck with a black screen and the lights on the bottom left on.
Howver, if I boot it into recovery and power it off that way I have no issues...
I am using AICP (7.1.1) but this issue happened on Lineage 14.1 also.
I reeeeeally don't want Touchwiz near my phone ever again so if anyone has a solution other than trying to see if it's fine on stock TW rom then all help would be grateful.
Cheers
Its a quirk with AOSP roms, happened to me too when i was on Lineage 14.1 but don't worry nothing's wrong
the bad part is it takes long before the phone fully shuts off, the only solution is a battery pull if you don't wanna wait that long

Oh brilliant! I water damaged it slightly (rubber seal on bottom getting old) and it wouldn't charge for a while. I happened to notice this issue after and thought maybe I'd f***ed it up. All is well it seems! :laugh:
