Problem with Screen Turnin On after 4.2.2 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi everyone,
after updating my gnex to 4.2.2 via OTA, my screen keeps turning on ramdomly. Sometimes it stays off for many hours, but sometimes it constantly turns on every second. I press power to turn it off, and it comes back.
I've seen on google that there is already an issue ticket for that, but I haven't seen an answer yet.
I've already made a fresh install using Galaxy Nexus Toolkit of 4.2.2 but the problem continues. Before considering getting back to 4.2.1, I'd like some suggestions to solve this. Anyone?
Thanks in advance!

Did it do it with no apps installed? If so, I can't help. If it only started once you restored your apps then one of your apps is the issue

With no apps, it was starting up....

Here is where I've found that many people seems to be having the same problem:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39625

Could the power button be sticking?
Nvm, I see many are having that issue [from the google link you posted]. Have you tried disabling basic dreams app / daydreaming setting?

Its not new in 4.2.2 as I've heard of this issue in 4.2.1 and the bug report is for 4.2.1. Either way I don't have any ideas sadly.

Aboud dream app / daydreaming, everything is disabled..... Still nothing. My battery lasts for 5hours tops. Screen is having 98% of battery.

Well.. trying now to install the Takju rom (mine is yakju) to see if the problem stops....

Screen not turning off on its own

So lately my phone's developed the above mentioned problem. I've set it to turn off after 30 secs but obviously it's not doing that. I'm guessing it has to do with some app i installed but how do i figure out which one's causing the problem?
I'm stock with the latest firmware. Not rooted

If you believe it is an app that is not allowing it to shutdown the screen, go see what running apps in the App Manager looks suspicious. shut them down if you find it. Or do a reboot. Do you also have smart stay enabled and staring at the screen? I only ask because I have stupidly done that...
I had that problem yesterday and then it just went away by itself
i tried battery pull n everything... nothing.
so i deleted a couple of apps and it's back to normal now. I deleted drivelink and pulse. If i were to bet i think drivelink was the culprit as it was installed as an apk
i have drivelink tooo
so thats the problem eh
perfect.. cuz it just staarted happening again
Pulse for me...

man, that's already the 3rd if not 4th thread abut this issue, one being opened by myself...
glad that I'm not the only one...
at beginning I thought it'd be a faulty/bent usb connector, as experienced by others, but since I am redaing of others with the same problem after upgrading, then it cannot be...
have you install;ed the OTA or started from cratch? have you cleaned dalvik cache? (I did with no avail) do you see a pattern in your wakeups? is it every x minutes? is it at random?
as regards me, it happens also when wifi and 3g and sync is off (but 2g on, that is I can only receive calls), so it cannot be anything related to signals...
I have installed BetterBatteryStats and will be sending a couple of resports to the developer trying to see if he can understand what is going on and what wakes up the phone...
I did a completely clean install... Wipe data and cache... Installed the OTA rom available on developers section.
Do tell me if you are able to find a solution.

Check this bugreport:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39829
Yeah, the same thing happens to me. VZW Toro. Stock AOSP Rom. I think it's related to daydream. It didn't start happening until I enabled that functionality.

nope... daydream is off on my phone
It seems to be an issue with the WeChat app:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39625#c12
That's the original bug report. Star it for news and increase its visibility.

I do use WeChat .. let me delete this application and check ...
Deleted WeChat and disabled Day dream ... 7 minutes and phone is not waking up .. seems like the problem is resolved. ..

I don't have wechat and the problem is there so no it's not wechat
I am in the same boat, Thegios.
No Wechat... No Daydream.
I have noticed my screen waking about every 10-15 minutes. It only happens when connected to my Wifi. My N7 does not wake at all. I have wiped the Cache and noticed my "Android System" hogging my battery stats.
I am trying to search what Apps I have settings for something like "sync only on wifi"... from there I should be able to find what is turning the screen on. I have BetterBattery Stats installed, and am trying to dig a little deeper there as well.

cant b wifi, , mine wakes up also when wifi is off and 3g is off and sync is off
I have tried with bbs as well but found notjing wrong
i've read all the reports of bugs, and the people with issues seem to have flashed the stock AOSP rom.. i dont have any of the issues described and the way i installed 4.2 was first flashing the takju 4.1.2 with nexus toolkit and then i got the 4.2 OTA from "about phone"->update.. oh and i have daydream activated.
For those of you with high android system usage, are you downloading music from Google pay music for offline usage? I did and I got this sudden increase. this has never happened to my phone before. Maybe Google play music needs update?

My problem is resolved by removing WeChat and daydream disabled...waited for like an hour and confirmed about the problem solution that worked for me.
You can try disabling that sleep mode apps in Apps settings.

Your problem may have been resolved but wechat and daydream is not the solution to this as many of us aren't using either and still having this issue. I think I'm going back to bone stock 4.1.2 and going to let the OTA upgrade me to 4.2 and see what happens.
wechat is NOT the solution people, as the Google Code page suggest this is a sync issue that could be caused by a number of apps.

Sorry to report this but my phone has been bone stock since I bought it, got the 4.2 OTA, not using wechat or daydream and I still have this issue.

Nexus randomly reboots, stock 4.2.. what gives?

This is driving me insane. I'm running stock 4.2, and my phone keeps randomly rebooting in my pocket. I've never used a different ROM, only rooted. Only thing I could say is that I tried to use SuperUser to keep my root after the OTA upgrade, and it did not keep it successfully (is that actually possible yet, btw? I know the GNex Toolkit doesn't seem to support it).
No ideas here. I know I can reset, and I probably will at this point, but.. any causes?
I had the same problem and I find out that hd widget app is making my phone to reboot. After I uninstalled the app I don't have the rebooting problems. If you have the same app try to uninstall it and see if the revolting stops.

I do have that app, and the thought crossed my mind - I was wracking my brain to remember whether or not the rebooting began before or after that install a few days ago.. I will uninstall it and see what happens. Thank you!
Shoot, because I hate the stock lockscreen clock on 4.2
EDIT: Went to uninstall, and my phone soft-rebooted. Guess that answers that..

Pretty sure the reboots are location service related and a bug in 4.2. Hard for me to tell, because I am on AOSP which is a bit different in that regard.

That's what I hear. Which I don't get because I don't use the weather widget, only the clock (unless you're talking time zones or something). Or unless you mean I don't have GPS enabled and it's trying to use it?
I also heard it's from a bug with Google on the 3rd party lockscreen widgets in general.

Random reboots

Im new in this nexus section...i'm asking why my galaxy nexus sometimes reboots? It has the latest 4.2.2 android version stock...it isnt the update, i think, because also before this happen...and when it reboots there's like a opened locket under the google logo....who can help.me? I tried also the nexus toolkit...but when i try to do something with fastboot the program says WAITING DEVICE forever...
Guys, please help!! Its really urgent!
Hi,
I think there are two reasons for random reboots:
1- overheating
2-lack of ram (many running proceses, so ram gets full, so it reboots.
Press the thanks button if I helped

No, even when the battery isnt hot it reboots!!
and it is without any apps installed, only stock apps!! I did also a factory reset from settings..but nothing happened...
Searching on net, i read that the opened locket is the bootloader....is that causing random reboots? If yes, how to relock with toolkit? Beacause it says me WAITING DEVICE

No, unlocking the bootloader shouldn't do this. I have an unlocked bootloader, and I have this phone(xperia arc) for 5 months and I only had one random reboot and it was definitely because of lack of ram

Yes but im talking about NEXUS and maybe its different!!
I used to have that happen all the time. I used to think that the phone sucked but my husband never had that happen with his. I compared the apps and wiped my phone, only installed what he had on there. It still happened. I was really beginning to get mad but I wiped it again. I Installed things one by one only allowing myself to install a new app only after it had gone a week with no nonsense. Yes, this was a painful process but I found the cause of my random reboots. I use Handcent. That alone isn't the cause. When I would get new sounds for my GN, I would have the option of making them a ringtone or a Handcent notification among other things. If I made Handcent notifications, that seemed to cause the problem. If I move a sound into the notifications folder and assign it to contacts in Handcent, everything has been fine.
I don't know if this helps your problem but some settings could affect unexpected things. Good luck!

I did factory reset twice from device's settings, but nothing.
no one who can help? wow!!
I had random reboots on my Verizon GN running the OTA 4.1.1. I got so fed up with it that I went back to 4.0.4. I have had no problems or reboots since doing this.
Are you running Chrome or the stock browser? I've always had the random restarts on my N10, but only started seeing them on my GN after I started using Chrome around the time 4.2.2 came out.

OP, read the return to stickied thread on general forum by efrant, if your problems still happen after restoring back to stock through fastboot, then you may have faulty hw.

New Samsung Link draining battery

Is anyone else having this issue? It was fine when it was Allcast. After it updated to Link it's a really bad drain.
Nope I never use all cast though. I'd just freeze it. Unless you use it.

I never use it either. I'm going to freeze it, later. It's like it's constantly trying to find something to sync to on its own.

Yea, it was turned off. I uninstalled the update and decided not have the battery drain now. There seems to be something wrong with the update.

Battery drain with Samsunglink
I am facing the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. There are no ways to stop the application which is running in the background. even if you force it stop, it has no effect.

Got no idea else than uninstalling the update. Uninstalling update successfully solved the problem of battery drainage..
I uninstalled my Samsung apps, which I never use anyway and disabled what I can and that seems to have fixed the issue.

I just noticed this problem today. I also noticed that the quick settings notification for Allshare isn't displaying correctly. It's showing that Allshare is off but when you dive (deeply) into the settings you can see that it's still active. I made sure it was switched off and I'll see if this fixes the battery drain.
