Screen goes off and on. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

For some reason when I try to lock and turn off the screen to my gnex it comes right back on. Is anyone else having this issue?

Has this happened since you got the device or has it only recently started to do this?

TouchScreen stops working occasionally

Hello,
On about 3 or 4 occasions I've gone to unlock my phone with my face and its failed so I've gone to pattern unlock as fail safe only to notice that the screen is unresponsive. No matter what I try it just doesn't respond. A reboot fixes this.
Has anyone else noticed this? Its not like the other touchscreen issues where it seems multi touch related, it does nothing.
Once time I managed to unlock it with my face realising the issue and I found the touchscreen still didn't work even when unlocked.

yes.. happened to me couple of times, but after i upgraded tp 4.0.2 from official google's image there are no problems..
it happened to me after i speak on my phone for a long time anf switch off the screen and switch it back up again.
but no problem now
Glad to hear its not just me then. It does seem a software bug.

It did it again today. At least I know its not Beautiful Widgets as I uninstalled that thinking it was that.

Anyone uses JuiceDefender ?
Cheers~
I have had same issue, I'm on 4.0.3 aosp. I have noticed, if I leave phone for a little while without use, touch screen does come back, most of the time
Running juice defender as well, might try removing and see

I removed Juice Defender but I still had the issue. It just did it again while charging. Are you all using face unlock?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
No. Never used face unlock. Do use light flow, others?

No , I`m not using face unlock. Instead , I do have installed Light Flow !
Cheers~
Unfortunately I don't have light flow installed.

Glad it isn't only me then!
I posted in another thread suspecting it was Juice Defender but after uninstalling it i got the error one more time. I still haven't done a factory reset to check if it's still there, though.
How do you guys reboot when the screen becomes unresponsive? Do you just hold the power button in until it turns off/reboots? It seems like it's worked for me but only maybe 3/5 times.
I just pull the battery out.

I can confirm this problem.
I'm on 4.0.2 stock Google build, no juicedefender.
Only happens on lock pattern.

If you set face unlock, you can unlock and find it still doesn't respond.

I'm running stock 4.0.2 and I have this problem a fair bit. I use a numeric password unlock, and whenever it freezes I just wait a few minutes and the screen becomes responsive again. Very annoying though. I hope this issue is resolved soon.
I've not had any issues for a while. The odd random reboot but no screen freezes anymore.

occurred on 4.0.4
occurred on GSM version running 4.0.4. received an call and could not attend, I don't use any lock pattern. last thing I did before this occurred was to install call filter, not sure if that caused the issue.
I had this problem on my vzw nexus. It just started happening more and more to the point that I had to hard reset to get it to work. The problem never went away so I got it replaced. Then had the replacement replaced due to unrelated screen color issues.

Unresponsive Screen

So first off the app search function sucks...
Has anyone had a problem where the screen suddenly becomes unresponsive to touch? I can turn the screen on and off just fine with the power button but can't actually unlock it since it doesn't recognize my finger touching the screen. Only way to fix it was to do a battery pull.
I'm also on Eagles Blood with the latest Franco kernel.
I've never experienced this problem. I've run Codename Android, Redemption Rom, and currently on AOKP. I've used Leankernel, Defiant kernel and am currently using Faux123's kernel. As far as the app search function I can't concur because I've never used it.

To answer your question: No.
Was the phone plugged in when it was unresponsive?

i have the same experience, once in a while,
if you have patience, if you wait like 5-10 mins later, it will be responsive again.
I had the unresponsive screen when I turned the screen on to unlock but I couldn't draw my unlock pattern. Closed and opened the screen using power button twice and it was working again. I've also noticed that sometimes the screen doesn't register touches soon after turning it on. Have to always redraw my pattern because first bit is missed off.

Same here. Very annoying. Is there a fix yet?
I had this problem once since having the phone in November. I did do a battery pull but its good to know you can wait 5-10 minutes.
Also stock phone 4.0.2 ota so its happening on unrooted phones as well.

There is said to be a multi touch issue with the galaxy Nexus, I have experienced it myself. There is not a fix that I know of for the issue yet.

[Q] Screen Suddenly Turn on (GNEX)

Hello,
I have an issue with my Galaxy Nexus, After i upgraded to 4.0.4 it happens that when in standby mode, the screen turn on for 3 seconds and then turn off by itself many times.
The phone is rooted, and not few applications on it, same when i had 4.0.2
Does anyone know what is causing this?
Thank you,
Is it saying its charging when it does it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Nope it doesn't say charging.
Hmm. Wondered if it was the charging port problem... I had it n done some Googling to find its quite common, fixed it myself. I'd check what's causing wake locks.... alternatively a factory reset should help..

Had this issue on my xoom and nexus. Uninstalled a few apps I had on both to try and narrow it down and haven't had the issue sense. My rouge app was a tablet wallpaper app.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Some apps use the FULL_WAKELOCK to do certain tasks, and that turns the screen on. Check some apps that might do that, the permission for that is "Prevent device from sleeping"
Thanks guys

[Q] Phone Shutting off/resetting randomly

My G-Nex has been shutting off or rebooting randomly.
It started happening the other day. I'm on liquid smooth 1.4.
the resetting only happens when the screen is off, and never happens when the phone is plugged in.
any thoughts? ideas? need more info?
any help is much appreciated.
My guess would be a rom and/or kernel issue. Flash a different rom or go back to stock and see if the problem persists.

It might just be the graphical shell crashing. Its happened to me before while listening to music and the music didn't stop.

hasn't happened to me when doing anything musical... any advice?
Just to clarify... phone is completely shutting off. When I hold the power button down it starts to boot up. No battery pull necessary
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i wiped all data and reinstalled liquid, and it happened again.
incredibly frustrating.
will now just go back to stock.
Just to update in case anyone cares... I have not experienced the issue since swapping my extended battery for the stock battery... which I tried before going back to stock.
So, at least for now, the battery appears to have been the issue. Question is why?

I've had similar issues. I also had an instance where the phone was on but unresponsive. I had Ana alarm going off and it wouldn't turn off, screen was off and buttons not illuminated. Next time try holding power + vol up. Usually after about 15 secs or so it'll reboot.
