Hi!..I have an issue with the screen. Sometimes when I keep my phone aside my phone screen suddenly lightens up shows the pattern unlock page and automatically turns off. This happens 4-5 times in succession. First I thought its because of the antivirus app so I uninstalled it but still the problem persists. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any suggestion will be helpful.

I think we'll probably need a lot more information than that...
It could be anything. When I have mine plugged into my computer and the screensaver kicks on or when the laptop falls asleep, it does the same thing to mine because the USB power is cycling but it could be anything. Are you rooted? What ROM? What kernel? What is the battery state? Go into settings > apps and see what's running, start testing those out.
If your rooted, the problem with the screen waking is possibly superSU granting an app root access. Its usually a toast pop up saying that an interactive shell has been granted. At least it has been for me in the past. You can turn the notification off in the superSU settings.

my gf's HD2 used to do the same thing after she dropped it on its bottom right corner.

My Nexus does that from time to time. Running AOKP JB preview builds. Latest franco kernel. Screen just turns on. No popups, no notification, just shows the lock screen until it times out again. Doesn't do it enough to worry me but it is a little odd.
No I have not rooted my nexus, using ICS 4.0.4. My phone is yakjuxw so haven't got the JB update yet..I have general apps like Facebook, whatsapp, power toggle,etc to name few.

Next time it does it see if your phone says charging even though not plugged in. Could be a bad charge port on your phone.
Had the same thing. The culprit turned out to be folder sync.

I just had another crash replying to a post here using tapatalk. The keyboard had small pink corruptions as if video memory had an issue.
I pulled the battery for about 10 seconds, tried to turn it back on. No dice. I tried again except pulled the sim as well, that worked.
Maybe some of us having crashes are sim related?

I've had to do a second battery pull today. Phone locks up then about 5 seconds later the display goes dark. Not fun.

I froze twice in the past three days. I was using hand cent and browsing. The battery had to be pulled in order for restart.

Yesterday I noticed GetJar was keeping the device awake (in battery stats), but otherwise it was responsive and all good. I uninstalled GetJar and rebooted for good measure. It powered down fine, but wouldn't power back up. I had to pull the battery.
My first 'battery pull' so far!
I had my first crash today while I was replying to an SMS message. The screen produced these broken specs of green.
I couldn't exit from the SMS, eventually the screen turned itself off and then nothing.
I had to perform a battery pull to fix.
When the phone booted back up ICS complained that the launcher had crashed.
Instead of clicking 'stop' I clicked 'wait'.
Phone returned to normal after that.

Did you guys restore old apps/app data from your previous Android device? If so, factory reset and START FRESH.
I can't count the people I know that had issues all stubbornly because they refused to start fresh from a new device.

I didn't use a restore. I just added my Google account and let the phone download my apps that I more or less had from my Nexus One.
Is that OK to do?
Or should I have done something else??
Let me know, Thanks.

This is how it works. When you login all the apps install automatically.
I just noticed this morning that a bunch of apps I had uninstalled already on my GN automatically reinstalled. Odd right?

If you have "force 2d rendering" checked in the developer settings, that will cause many issues.

I don't have any dev options on. I'm basically seeing what others are. Lockup, sometimes with screen corruption, then the display eventually goes black some short amount of time afterward. Battery pull required. I thought it may be heat related at one time but it has happened when the device was relatively cool. Seems like a software driver issue that can hopefully be addressed.

My phone doesn't deep sleep but I don't have any wake locks. I'm on aokp m3. It'll deep sleep for usually the first half hour of the night but then sits at my min all night and until I restart it. It never deep sleeps more than 2 hours even if its on multiple days

No, it's killing your phone!
Have you checked which app is draining your battery?
Have you tried other ROM's?
Factory reset?
Wiped Cache?
I've wiped cache. Done several resets while flashing rom updates. None of my apps are really using battery. I honestly can't find a single app keeping my phone going I'm almost ready to start blaming widget locker. Tonight ill try disabling it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I would format, and reflash, remove any gaps you might not be using, and not install a single app except for a cpu monitoring app to check on the deep sleep.
Let it sit like that overnight, and in the am check your results. If you see a difference and are getting deep sleep, then its obviously a rogue app thats keeping it awake. After that start adding one app at a time, until you find the "bad app"
I know it takes time and is boring, but thats the beauty of Android and open source...
What kernel are you using?
I'm using Franco's kernel #16.1 right now. My phone has been like this basically since day one but its bothering me lately.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Really can't find out what's doing this. I'm not getting any deep sleep now. I've gotten rid of any app I can think of. Can anyone think of any "bad apps" off the top of their head?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Try downloading watchdog and setting it to aggressive. That might help you find something

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

I have a 2013 Nexus 7 and had no problems during the first week. One night i left it at 100% charge, and woke up to 70% i checked cpu spy and the device did not go into deep sleep. I literally tried EVERYTHING: factory reseted, rooted, installed custom roms and kernels and NOTHING fixed the deep sleep issue. Not even the JSS15Q update. I downloaded BetterBatteryStats and the process "pil-gss" and "powermanagementservice" are wakelocking the device. I did buy the nexus on Best Buy but i dont live on the us so its impossible for me to return it. I googled about "pil-gss" and didnt fint anything relevant. Please someone help me, the nexus is an amazing device but with the battery draining i think i will not be able to use it anymore :crying:
After a factory reset... Do you install apps or you have the issue without any app installed?

i even left the tablet on the welcome screen. Tried with no apps installed, even tried cyanogenmod with no gapps installed. Im frustrated at this point and i havent found any information about pil-gss
How are you charging it? There was a recent article on power management causing wakelocks with certain wireless chargers.

This seemed to start for me after the OTA updates were released, because my first week of owning it I had no problems. I even took it out of my new case with the magnetic lid just to be sure it wasn't caused by that to no avail.
Has anyone seen a way to remedy this? Obviously it's going to need a patch from Google, but is there a hack that might stop this?
PaulW from Google is apparently being made aware of the issues, I'm also having it, keep an eye on this thread:

And I have another problem with my nexus .
It's slow, doesnt always react to input, etc etc.
I already am on stock and it seems that I just have to live with these problems.
But the newest thing is that doesnt go to sleep. When I press the power button the device turns off for 2-20 seconds and turns then back on again. I already did a factory reset and as i mentioned above I am on Stock Firmwar/Rom (4.3).
Any ideas?

I have a idea that COULD solve all your issues.
Go back to stock via fastboot.

Use betterbatterystats or a wakelock detector to see what is waking your device.
