Hey,
I switched to XDAndroid like a week ago, and so far I'm liking it alllot. I do, however, have a big trouble. When I lock the screen and leave the phone for a while, its almost impossible to unlock / wake it up.. It usually takes allot of time / allot of tries. Is this a common problem and is there a fix for this?
Thanks for your time
Also having this problem. Seems to happen after about ~30min in deep sleep. And not sure if it's related, but last night I locked my phone and plugged it in to go to bed around midnight. When I woke up the phone was booted back into windows mobile. I received a text on android around 12:17am but received a text on windows mobile at 12:45am.

anyone had problem with the screen not responding after waking up?
There's no way to turn off the phone / make it respond unless to unplug the battery and plug it in again. Had this problem on the first GN and my second replacement GN.
Yep, happened to me the other day as well. There was a crash right before which made the phone reboot. Once it came back, the hardware buttons responded fine but the touchscreen was dead until a battery pull.
Hasn't happened since though.
Had this at lunch today also had it a few days ago.
When returning from sleep the touch input seems to be completely unresponsive.
I left mine for a while to see if it recovered, it did, it came up with the crash report for "System Process" The screen was then responding fine.
Weird. This is indeed different to the sleep of death, because the screen comes on.
Although maybe it's related in some way?
This just happened to me, and so I googled to find an answer. It thankfully led me here. It's like you guys described: I just tried unlocking my phone, but the screen was completely unresponsive. Not a single touch would register, even when trying to touch the Power Off option.
I read robaldred's comment, so I decided to try the waiting game. Thankfully, after a few minutes the screen just came on and the device was ready to use. I don't believe I saw a crash report though.
I hope this won't become a serious issue. I'd hate to be stranded at a point when I need to use my phone.
I had this problem too. have you guys used custom notification sounds?

I had this exact problem and I found it was due to Juice Defender (I have the Ultimate version as well). It kept happening after I installed and but since removing it over a week ago no problems.
Just had it happen here, had to pull batt. Using BatteryXL but will keep it on and see if it happens again.
I have a problem with my Galaxy Nexus turning OFF at night.
I goto bed at night and open the clock app and click the screen to dim it. When I wake up in the morning the phone is OFF. I have to pull the battery in order to boot. The battery is fully charged.
I returned the phone after this happened twice and received a brand new one. I have the same problem with this new device. I have changed the power socket and the charger yet still the problem persists.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
I have Skype installed and running which maybe the cause. I will keep it OFF for the next few nights to see if this has a positive effect.
Try it without any off your apps installed. If the problem goes away you know it's an app causing the problem. Then start adding them back in batches until the problem re-occurs. Eventually you'll narrow the issue down to one app.

This is happening to me too.
At random times, the phone will refuse to wake from sleep.
Nothing but a battery pull will fix it.
I don't have skype installed.
Have a look at this:

Mine started today. Really hope this does not keep happening or I need to return this right away. Missed a few phone calls today and didnt realize until I looked down any my phone was just simply black. Will not wake up or do anything at all. You have to pull the battery. Right before this happened my data was dropping non stop about every 5 minutes for an hour.
I'm trying to stay calm because I love this phone, but between the data drops and the phone turning off im loosing patience quick.
This is happening to me as well. With TWO different phones. The first one I returned to Verizon and now its happening on the second one.
Phone will power off while doing random tasks. The two I've noticed is browsing on the stock browser and texting on the stock texting app.
I'm having the same problem. It's happened twice in the 3 days I've had the phone. It hasn't happened while I'm using it, both times it was when the screen was already off -- it just wouldn't waku up. Nothing short of pulling the battery, letting it sit, then powering on would work.
Couldn't have come at a worse time either, my daughter is in the hospital and I get updates from the surgeons via phone. So now I have to check every 5 minutes and make sure the phone is still on.
Phone is bone stock, out-of-the-box.

it does it when i have skype running too. also i have other other audio apps open. (power amp, tunein, pandora) It's happened twice to me and each time it has been during a skype call while the other apps were running. (in widget form)
shock sensitive in the area right below the camera?
My device just "randomly" switches off (sometimes several times a day). After a long search for a reproducible cause, it seems safe to say that at least some devices seem to be extremely shock sensitive in the area right below the camera (on the back of the device). Even minuscule shocks to this area switch these devices off. Youtube-user 'jardinepatten' demonstrates this problem nicely in a video called "Galaxy Nexus Turning Off".
Had my SGN for a few days now and over the last two I have come to find the phone won't respond after pushing the wake button. Some times the the notification light will be flashing, but the screen just won't turn on.
So far I've pulled the battery 4 times since yesterday... I can't find any reports of this, so I'm hoping I just got a defective unit.
I believe you have a rogue app. When I installed wave launcher it would lock the phone up in this fashion. The only way I could get the screen to turn on was to call the phone and while still on the call I had to uninstall the app and all was fine.. try and remember if you recently updated or installed an app and see if that fixes it

I got mine Friday, and when coming out of sleep the screen would turn on, but would be unresponsive to touch. If I pulled the battery, it was fine. I setup face detect to see if the phone was still active, and that would unlock it fine, I just couldn't touch the screen. I exchanged the phone yesterday with a new Nexus, and haven't had a problem since.
I believe the bad app was twicca. I installed right around the time the crashes started, and since removing it I haven't had any more crashes.
Saw another thread regarding pretty much the same issue, was SetCPU.
Previously used to see this (other devices) when something was underclocking CPU when phone was asleep, and phone wouldn't wake up)...
Anyway, glad to hear it sounds like you've got it.
This is something very peculiar I'm experiencing. I got the desire a few months ago, rooted it, and I'm fine with S-Off. Now the peculiar thing's that a couple of days ago, I was watching a movie on my phone, and it was working fine, when suddenly the screen blackened. It wont turn on even when I tried the power button. I was devastated until at night I tried to turn on the screen again, and my room was dark, and I noticed that there was a flickering of light in the screen, and I could detect all my icons. The touch was working all right too. I started to slightly tap my phone, and this turned it on after a few tries. But the problem's that it keeps on doing so (blacking out) every hour or so of use, and I love playing Chess at level 10. Can someone help with this??? I'm sure this is a hardware related prob, cuz I tried every software and app things.
Hi guys.
Today I woke with my phone full of problems. I first noticed the screen darkr in the lower left area, but after a restart that went out...and othe ptoblems came. Now the screen in 100% bright all the time and my battery is being eaten alive. The brightness slider no longer works I.e sliding it doeant change anything and whenever I hit the power button to turn off the screen it shuts down the phone.
I slept with the phone the other night so I may have broken something. Has anyone foynd tnis before?

Literally the exact same thing happened to me just now. Lower corner screen darkened, and after reset I'm burning through the battery at a record pace with no way to lower brightness. Wish someone knew how to fix this
