[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
Thanks for the help! However all the solutions require me to root the device which I am very frustrated to do. I am totally a beginner and want to enjoy the device before adventuring with it. I have tried many apps and none worked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namurt:
if you'd rather not root, then you'll have to wait for the 4.3 update to get pushed out and hope that google has addressed this glaring issue with the update.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
Apparently that is what i will do... hopefully that will be soon
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namurt:
speculation is that 4.3 could be released tomorrow.

both "google edition" phones (the htc one and samsung galaxy s4) are to go on sale on the play store tomorrow, so some folks believe we may see the 4.3 release tomorrow as well.

that being said, i wouldn't hold your breath. we'll get it when we get it. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
haha! I'm not sleeping tonight!!! XD
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namurt:
my apologies, but i had a brain fart when i made my last post. the google edition phones aren't set to go on sale until june 26th. i don't know why i was thinking the 20th. maybe you should get some sleep after all. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KnoxyTT:
So here is the problem. My phone drains battery when there is nothing that is supposed to be draining it. In my house I have 4 bars reception (Max Reception) and wifi on or LTE. After using it for a bit and then closing all apps and shutting the screen. My phone starts its "heat mode", starts heating up. about 1 percent every 2 mins. I have tried stock, custom roms, and factory restoring and still nothing. :mad: I have had this problem for months now. Should bring it to my carrier company to fix it? Or is there another thing that's affecting it?

For the screenshots it starts off normal over night then it after use it declines.

EDIT: Problem on stock, stock rooted, carbon, hyperdrive, intergalactic
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
This does not sound like normal behavior. I'd use factory warranty and get a replacement.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
Have you checked under settings / battery to see if anything is running high? Also check settings/applications and slide over to processes. Is it possible it is the media scanner? If so it could b a corrupted file possibly left behind from a theme or bad picture. You should be able to back up what you need from internal SD and do a factory reset from the settings. I accidently erased my external SD so use caution and read all it is asking. You shouldn't need to take it back yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FIESTY2:
Get Better Battery Stats and see if you can track down the wake lock that is killing it. It looks like from the last picture that once wifi was turned on, it experienced a hard drain.

Honestly, my phone does the same thing from time to time and I am still trying to figure out what it might be. In the interim, a reboot always fixes the problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
I would warranty the phone. But just out of curiosity have you tried a different radio? Are you on the most up to date radio for your carrier? Also have you tried rebooting after the plummet starts and if so does it fix it for a while? I know that some postings have noted a problem with the LTE switch when on a phone call. I know that when I have LTE on and make any phone calls, at some random time over a few days it will happen to me until I reboot. If I keep LTE off, it does not happen. I am not saying this is your issue, but I am just trying to narrow the possibility.

Well thanks guys. Im going to send my phone back to my carrier. i think its antenna problems so i might get a replacement :D

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Those who have the sudden reboot issue please get a kmsg of your boot process

Wait a 60 seconds then close window and upload, do this as soon as you boot. We need also a last_kmsg of the reboot issue if one is created (sometimes it isn't). For this just copy /proc/last_kmsg and upload after the reboot happens, if it doesn't exist then it wasn't created during your reboot. My friend [MENTION=4716493]laufersteppenwolf[/MENTION] is working on a fix for this, he thinks its due to bad sources, he already has my logs but some additional "testimony" might be helpful
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laufersteppenwolf:
The boot log is not required, only the log, recording the crash ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Thanks mate, I'm gonna get my replacement tomorrow, if it still reboots I know how to reliably reproduce it. Kmsg sometimes gives different stuff, no pipe error, system bin files not existing, and sometimes no error at all. The games Modern combat 3 and 4 frequently cause this reboot, my favourite games seem to be the "control" here, damn :P seriously big thanks here, you don't even own the device!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] laufersteppenwolf:
How many people are exeriencing this problem?

and please, give me some more logs of the crashes, so that i can compare and make sure what causes the reboots ;)

thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] casis86:
Hey there i had those reboots problems on stock rom and kernel too. Started with the official update to .140.

Over a month of craziness I flashed yesterday .141 and since then not a single reboot. Ill report back in a few days if its still ok.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Well I just got a replacement, its on .492 and I'm staying on it. .141 still reboots for me
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
OK looks like my new one reboots too. Hardly anyone seems to have or even acknowledge the issue which is the worst part
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
maybe a 3rd party app makes the phone reboot this way, hm? i suggest to try a BARE stock ROM for a while, for a day or two, what's your idea? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Wiped the whole thing yesterday, wish me luck!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adiq_ambro:
I have Xperia T for few months, now running my third JB stock rom and I've never experienced a reboot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Which superuser app do you use? After switching from supersu to clockwork su reboots seem to have stopped. But sometimes they don't happen for a while. What I'm gonna do is use the app "root logger" to trace shell activity, maybe something I use is accidentally issuing this command, because it does it like terminal does it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adiq_ambro:
I really don't know. I just use this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2026918 with this clockwork http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012738 .

I use small amount of third party apps - only Messanger, some games, Llama, feedly, Total Commander and some utilities. No modifications, no tweakers, pure stock and I happily live without problems.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Problem still exists on this ROM for me. Perhaps it is a rogue app, the trouble is finding out which. If not then three has a bad batch of T's since hardly anyone seems to have this issue
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
you changed it once?!!!!!!!!!! this is your second one?!!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Yup, three gave me a free replacement. Still no reboots so far since wiping everything, just picked up gangstar Vegas, reminds me a lot of San Andreas, really good!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
appreciate what those operator do for you there, you've never been in my country, sanctions are DAMN strict, we would never experience such support...

replacement is just a dream :D :D

haaaa haaaaa, yep, i love that, and have you tried GTA Vice City? a bit old, but it's AWESOME, that's really something, highly recommended ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Own that too, but this is better :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Btw. [MENTION=4685589]@non4[/MENTION], how long do you have the phone? And did you buy it new or used?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
New from three, only a month in, they gave me a second one, still happens sometimes. The new .142 firmware helped, now it only seems to happen with < 35% battery, so I think it relates to that. You said you had some shutdowns on low battery too right? I think on the previous firmware something really intensive like playing modern combat 4 online caused some sort of power failure, on the new one its only unstable once the battery is low. So its bearable now, once my battery is that low I tend to recharge :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
I am affraid that the battery in T is big fail. It is not normal, to have such big drop in voltage (in li-on battery) on heavy load.

In full load, the voltage drop can be about 300 - 400 mV, which means when you have 3,6V (which could be around 40%) and the battery drops to 3,2V, that the phone shuts down. Android probably doesn't know that, because it isn't stable 3,2V so there is no notification.

Install Cooltool, go to advanced, custom label path, write there "/sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8921-charger/power_supply/battery/voltage_now" and select labels, custom label.

Watch the voltage when playing.

I already ordered new battery, so I will test it with new.

Btw what is the capacity of your battery? There are two - 1850 and 1780 mAh.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
That would explain it, maybe a better made battery would indeed solve this, like I say the new firmware seems to help, as did lowering the sysmon values a bit to reduce stress on the battery, I just let it throttle to 12420000 after 5 steps, keeps it cool enough. How do I tell? I dunno where my box is
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
You can find it in service menu (*#......#*), service tests, battery health test.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
OK, mine is 1850
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Mine too. I ordered 1780 battery, so let's see.

The battery should handle 1850 mA drain, if it has 1850mAh capacity. Full load is about 1250mA, so something is not right.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Yeah its strange. At first I thought it was thermal, as the issue occurred only when I modified sysmon.cfg. After further investigation I find that the less throttling there is the more the reboots seem to happen. I think the battery overheats too easily, when I was monitoring it with your sysmon.cfg it easily surpassed 50° when playing online, so I'm guessing when the battery is too hot it can't produce enough voltage, maybe its a hard coded safety feature, I dunno.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] VarnPyre:
i'm also having reboot issues. will try this
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
Read the last few comments mate. Flash .142, and don't let your cpu exceed 12420000 when its hot. Pretty much never happens to me now unless battery is quite low
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] VarnPyre:
hmmm... found that my reboot issues are caused by my bloomberg app. also got reboots when i installed mr. number call blocker. wonder what is causing this
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
I don't use either :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] VarnPyre:
well, after observing my phone. the 2 apps i mentioned might not be the root cause. suddenly my phone reboots even at 85% charge. i'll try calibrating the battery again since the V does not have 142 yet
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
TBH I think its definitely a hardware issue, heavy use always results in this problem. I swapped back to the optimus 4x, since my GF isn't a power user this issue won't affect her. Pity, the T ran games much better
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] VarnPyre:
well, after a long time of checking the software, even changing to cm 10.1, i found that it's the battery that is causing the issue. even though my phone says that the battery is 100% charged. :rolleyes:

changed to a new 3rd party battery. and now all is well. but this will be my last sony product ever. should have known sony quality is going down the drain. especially since i worked for their technical support before.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
Ok, so I have a Sprint Evo 3D with S-Off and the SmoothCriminal rom and 4ext touch recovery (stuck on RC3 because there is no way to install a recovery image anymore without having the device working in the first place).

Last night for no reason the UI started endlessly rebooting, so I decided to just reboot...... and my phone kept boot-looping from then on.

Not wanting to lose all of my data I perform an advanced nandroid backup of all of the partitions separately so I could take a closer look and see what might cause it to boot properly again.

Turns out for some reason the /data/system/sync folder was the problem, removing this causes the phone too boot again after wiping and restoring the data partition with that folder removed from the nandroid backup.

Problem is, I seem to have lost permissions or whatever the term would be for ANY app that didn't come with the rom or had been updated since, I have to delete my account, then re-add it, then uninstall and reinstall EVERY app.

First of all, isn't the sync folder just a temporary cache for data to sync to your accounts? Why would that cause a bootloop and it's removal fix it? And second, why would removing it make me lose all of the equivalent of my "licenses" for every app? Is there any easy way to fix this?
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
Sorry I don't have an answer to your main question, but do you not have your apps backed up with titanium (or another) that you can easily restore from?
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
I didn't have a backup from before it started bootlooping, no. Plus its not like I can run Titanium if all I can access are the bootloader and recovery, not the main OS.

And also, I have another problem now. All the system apps I cannot update because of the license conflict thing, and unlike the other apps I cannot just uninstall and reinstall them to fix it, since they are system apps. Just updating doesn't work either.

EDIT: Now it works and the solution was to wipe the data of Google Now. (velvet.apk)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExjeetzZ:
Won't help more than likely

Can you listen to music on your device? I had this problem where my device wouldn't play any sort of sounds and i had to install the Rom again,

Try clearing data for the application.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:

Okay so at first I didn't get anything except "incompatible handset" when I inserted my 3 micro-sim card and after upgrading my android from 2.3.5 to 4.0.4 my network finally came up but it only says "3 emergency calls only" I use Panasonic NTT Docomo P-05D and it works on UK networks because It worked for o2 (I want it to work on 3 because I just got new 12 month plan with unlimited internet D: )

Is there a way to fix this ??
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Check the frequency that 3 uses compared to O2 and make sure the phone is compatible. Also make sure that the phone is fully SIM unlocked - does it work with Vodafone, Orange etc SIMs?

Also, please don't cross-post as you also asked this same question yesterday evening in a different thread.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwegiel:
[Q] Just got my Nexus 4 and it doesn't feel worth the price or "Nexus" label

Let's run down this list:

No LTE

720p screen is relatively standard

No hardware keys

Front camera is wimpy

No microSD

No USB Host/OTG out of box

Not easy to replace/disassemble

Poor impact protection (we've all seen the horrors)

Expensive replacement parts (what is it, $90 for the front?)

Average battery

I literally feel I'd be getting more with a One X or S3 for nearly the same price (I did get the phone directly from T-Mobile, which allows for exchange, though it is more expensive). So what if I have official Google support... what else makes this phone as great as people say it is?!? The GNex, and S2 also seem like better choices, if we are specifically discussing the same price point. The more I use it, the more iPhone-y it feels, just running 4.2.2 instead of iOS 7.

In summary: Why do you have this phone and why do you like it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Alright...sorry for my answer, i just hate if people crying here..you knew the Phones Hadware etc. before you got it. I really like the Nexus, it has very good handling and is lightning fast. The 720p Display is perfect, just rember ; everything above 300ppi looks the same for your eyes. I had to decide between the S3 and the N4 but after a while of playing with the S3 of a friend, i didnt even thought about buying the S3 anymore. I hate TouchWiz, its ugly and it's laggin. Maybe you know someone with an s3/OneX where you can test the phone for yourself ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwegiel:
If I was to get an S3 or HTC One or One S or One X, the first thing I would to is S-OFF and install the latest CyanogenMod build. I would not stick to Sense/TouchWiz.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Veeeery good decision !:D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwegiel:
I mean that's kind of a given. My Samsung Mesmerize runs 4.2.2 because of CM, when it would otherwise be stuck at 2.3.4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Okay, but i dont understand your question then, if you defintely wont keep Sense/TouchWiz , why would you get the S3 or the OneX/S instead of keeping the Nexus? They are nearly the same... except of the Screen Processor etc. And of course the Handling but i think the N4 is better in all those categories ?

3. one of the best features

4. almost all front cams are wimpy

5. that bugged me a few years back, i quickly grew out of it.

6. doesnt relate to me.

7. fairly easy to disassemble.

8. in certain situations yes. but mine has fallen too many times without any damage, no protection on it, naked.

9. shop around

10. better than average battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwegiel:
The phones I listed have the features that a Nexus 4 doesn't. Other than a quad core processor, all I see is advantages on the other phones. The HTC One has better audio quality and camera, the S3 (IMO) has a better screen and is a lot more disassembly-friendly, and includes LTE, an SD card slot, and many more things.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwegiel:
1. its only has LTE on a single band.

4. Many phones feature 1080p front cams

7. Battery can't be swapped on the go.

8. $90 to replace the LCD and Touchscreen? Let's try $20 to replace the front glass on an S3 instead.

10. depends on the usage, kernel, clock and rom.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwegiel:
S2 has a nearly as well established dev community, i know the screen is only 800x480, but the processor speed is comparable, USB OTG is out of the box, dedicated buttons for actions.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
No LTE - Not in my area, plus I get better speeds than cable with HSPA+.

720p screen is relatively standard - And more than sufficient for a 4.7 inch display. Why would you want to waste more battery and GPU pushing more pixels? Especially when you ***** about battery life and screen replacement cost just a few lines down.

No hardware keys - Nexus won't ever have them, but you knew that, right?

Front camera is wimpy - More than enough for it's intended purpose. Why would I want to compress more pixels for a video chat?

No microSD; No USB Host/OTG out of box - Design decision, but you knew that, right? Its a phone, I have no need for these.

Not easy to replace/disassemble - Did you check the iFixit teardown? More serviceable than most phones. I think the build design is very good.

Poor impact protection - The drop tests I saw had it compare favorably to the S3.

Expensive replacement parts (what is it, $90 for the front?) - Yes, due to a fused digitizer/display. Seems about average for both.

Average battery - Check out Qualcomm's Battery Guru.

In addition to my differences with the above assessments, I think the phone looks and feels great, works great, is open and unlocked (I will never be on contract again), and is priced at a point where I won't get sick if I lose it or drop it (which for me really adds to the usability).
