Love the phone but for some reason the screen won't stay off when I lock the phone. As you can imagine the battery life is suffering because of it. I am rooted but it did it before I was rooted and Rom'd. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I have my inactive timer set to 30 seconds.

U try a different rom after wiping everything?

What rom/kernel are you using?
I've had the issue with aokp #28 and axiom crossbreed. I have tried doing fresh installs and even going back to stock.

Right now I'm on Axiom Crossbred with the Franco kernel. I've experienced the issue on the leaked 4.0.4 and stock. Did fresh installs each time.

is not so difficult, put the stock google images, don't install any app, press the power button to switch off the screen..does it stay off? yes: problem solved, no: go for warranty
I was afraid of that. I got the phone in trade for my iPhone 4s. Hahahaha. Worst case scenario I'll do an insurance replacement.
The issue is with the USB port on the phone. Try cleaning it out and using a thin knife or tool bend the inner contacts tab toward the front screen side of the phone.
That should resolve the issue.

Never had one single lockup on my gn in two weeks of owning it using 4.0.2
Updated today with 4.0.4 ota and within hours i have a dead phone and wouldn't respond to anything. Had to pull the battery to reset.
Is completely stock, not rooted or unlocked.
Anyone else with issues?

If you can, I'd suggest you do a factory reset (aka wipe the /data partition). If you're willing to root, maybe wipe the dalvik cache too.
Thanks i might consider doing this if it happens more.
Though i dont see why i should need to, given it's unmodded, google sanctioned hardware running google sanctioned apps and os.
Sorry but i'm at the point of ranting, after 2 years of a wm 6 phone i thought the days of pulling the battery were long gone!
Sigh...

I have the same issue. 4.0.2 (rooted, stock) was perfect for me. There wasn't any issue with it. Now that I tried the 4.0.4 OTA update, it will do a random reboot about once daily. It is pretty annoying. Then I decided to flash the 4.0.4 factory image from google's website and then root it shortly after. The same problem exists. I don't think 4.0.4 is as stable as 4.0.2...

My phone never made it past "Android is upgrading... Optimizing applications"
Would boot up to that, screen would wash out, then go black. Pulling battery doesn't help
Hmmm, been ok since the lockup, until tonight when i just saw the google logo on the screen... was in the process of a random reboot.
I have also noticed the wifi off when sleeping option doesn't work
Shame because the battery life is a massive improvement!

Sometimes people confuse a "random reboot" with the graphical shell crashing, I'm not saying that is whats happening with you, I dont know. Just throwing it out there.
Only time I've frozen on 4.0.4 when I was testing an admittedly flawed video.

Same problem with reboots on android 4.04
i got the same problmen with reboots
The day after I uptated my galaxy nexus from 4.02 tot 4.04 it started rebooting twice a day. After a few days i did a downgrade to 4.02 and everything was fine. Yesterday I flashed android 4.04 again. Guess what? Random reboots!
Same problem. Rooted, running stock 4.0.4. Verizon must know about this by now if so many people have the problem. Where's 4.0.5?!

Mine seems to get the "sleep of death" quite often. I will be using it, shut off the screen, go to turn it back on and nothing happens. If I hold the power button in long enough it will reboot on its own. But sometimes that doesn't work and I have to pull the battery.

It is a 'refurb'. If you have had it less than 30 days, you should get 'new out of the box' as a replacement.
That's poppy. Well hopefully the refurb is good. Scared

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
I'm with the guy over me... Just flash a different ROM, see if it helps... It it's really the radio, then OK, but you should always try :/ Imagine you have only had the wrong radio, or something like that; you didn't flash a different ROM, to check, you sent your phone in, for no reason what so ever...
Never flashed anything before. Just seems like if its doing this I matters well send it in under warranty

120°F / 51° C seems very hot to me. My Gnex is on 84°F / 29°C. Even after playing high performance games it doesn´t heat up more than to 111°F / 44°C
What Rom / Kernel / Build are you running?
I'm running the latest Vicious/CM10 w/latest Franco but I've tried several other ROMs...none of my other gnex's ran this hot...it will go up to 160 with the slightest task to the point where it is uncomfortable to touch on the upper part of the screen.

maybe try the paranaoid android rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582. there are a few reports about overheating with the stock CM10 kernel, but works perfectly for me. solutions there are switching to trinity kernel or franco as well. but mainly the overheating shoult result from a bad kernel.
If you don´t want to put on another rom, maybe switch back to an older / stable version of francos.
I don't think it is a kernel issue because I just got this replacement...(have had 6 gnex's...long story) was running the exact setup...never had any heat issues until this one. Even when it was bone stock I noticed the upper part of the screen was hot to the touch.

then give back to your reseller. sounds like a factory problem then. phone shouldn´t heat up this much. not even it´s uncortable it may crash your phone (or parts of it) in the long run.
That's what I was thinking unfortunately...on to gnex number 7 I guess
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
yeah unfortunately maufacturing standarts for the GNex are way below than these for samsungs own devices. but better exchange it now then beeing said it´s your fold if the cpu melts or something
Ya that's too bad...calling Verizon first thing in the morning thanks.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
i feel like you two don't know what you are talking about and idk wtf you are doing to your phone that you've had to return 6 of them? derp but, that's besides the point
now the issue at hand, i've had over heating since jelly bean on custom roms which has shut my phone down ... it seems to be a kernel issue as far as i can tell ... i'd recommend trinity's TNP1344-307-JB-STABLE35 http://goo.gl/jry8c
if the problem persists go back to stock ... and quit sending your phones back you are the reason why carriers don't want people to unlock their bootloaders
50°c is normal operating temp, the gnex has a thermal throttle that kicks in at around 75°c, then it scales down the cpu. You also have to consider the ambient temperature outside. Its 95°- 100°f here during the day, of course your phone will run a little hotter when its hot outside. Just use your phone
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just dip ya phone in water, that should stop it getting to hot :cyclops:
Most of the phones I sent back I did not modify at all...asurion sent me 5 defective devices that all had hardware issues...(faulty screen, broken buttons, no radio, DOA, etc...probably refurbs), they then reimbursed me for buying a new phone through Verizon and it does not have any of those issues. I tried Trinity and it is running slightly cooler now. As for me not knowing what I'm talking about, that is why I asked in the first place. I didn't know what the average running temp. is.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just flash back to stock and see if you still have the overheating. If nothing changes you have a defective phone. I don't think my gnex has ever reached 120° F even with some mild overclocking and heavy use.
For some reason when I make a phone call my phone is now do this messed up color pixelation on the screen. It only happens while making a phone call then on the first screen after hanging up. Could this be a hardware issue or just software based? I've been on this version of urban inception for a few weeks and haven't had it happen till today. Also running faux's kernel but the set up is a week or so old but this just started happening. Any help as if its hardware is like to take it back to the store before the 30 days are up and swap it. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Okay, I have been getting the sod on my gnex for a long time. Anytime I would launch an app after about 15 seconds into it my phone would freeze and go into sod. I flashed back to stock and sprint replaced my gnex so when I got it I kept it unrooted for a while to see if it was because I was rooted. Same thing happened while I was unrooted. I thought to myself let me use the stock battery to see if the problem might be the extended battery. Sure enough while on the stock battery the sod's stopped. Its been a day now. Has anyone else experienced this, heard of it or can it be possible? Thank you.

The one from sprint that they were giving away. That's the second one they sent me. The first one my phone wouldn't boot and as soon as I put the old one in it booted. Now the second one seems to causing sod's. Possible?

Sure. If the battery is unstable and cannot properly sustain its voltage. You say it's reproducible when opening apps. Generally this action will cause the kernel to temporarily increase the CPU frequency and voltage, if the battery cannot deliver, I imagine this can affect Android in multiple undesirable ways
