I've got a small issue with my N7. Since I bought it, my display turns on periodically without touching it or hitting any of the buttons. It seems, that the time periods inbetween are always the same (e.g. today its always 24 minutes after a full hour when it turns on). It just displays the lock screen and turns off again.
Is there a possibility to find out which app or service is causing this? As far as I can observe, there are no notifications coming in which could potentially turn on the screen.
I'm on stock 4.3 and switched meanwhile from the stock kernel to that one by faux123 (problem occurs with both kernels)
Thanks for your help!
The screen does not turn off
The problem with my N7 Wi-Fi is that the screen does not turn off. On the Nexus 10, the screen turns off within a minute.
On phones and the Nexus 7, when plugged in, the screen never turns off. Many customers have been complaining that the screen turned off at unsuitable times, so I think Google went crazy with it.
On my Nexus 7, the display is turned on by incoming Sipdroid calls.
What you can do is to look at logcat, but it will cost you tons of time to figure it out.
It occurs to me while the tab is unplugged. Perhaps i check if it also occurs in flightmode. Then i could see if wifi or an other connection is the problem!

I'm getting a crash once every 3-4 days on average that requires a battery pull. So far I've had it happen while receiving a Whatsapp message, replying to a Google+ notification, and most recently, while listening to music.
I know I am not alone because I have seen a few other threads talking about similar issues. I am wondering how widespread this is however while I try to decide whether to return the phone or not. Are any of you running for a long period of time (1 week or more) without any instability?
I've had it happen to me a couple of times too, once when playing a movie in Diceplayer, and accidentally push the power button, causing the screen to go blank, then I couldn't turn it back on. Had to pull the battery. Had it happen to me again this morning, can't remember what I had done prior to it happening, though. Anyway, I did not have the time to pull the battery, so I just tried it again a couple of minutes later, and it woke up, all was normal again.
Happened twice only since November 25th to me.
I've had the phone now for a couple of weeks and have yet to have a crash.
My phone crashed two times in one week. Booth times when i closed a game.
Just take into consideration that most of these crashes are due to incompatibility between ICS and apps that don't officially support it yet. Not as much due to the device itself. So returning it and getting a phone running gingerbread won't solve the crashed when that phone eventually gets ICS....
I get it every few days too. Crash followed by what looks like the phone trying to reboot, but screen just goes dead and I need to pull battery to restart it.
i have had this too a few times. the screen just turns off, and won't turn back on. have to pull the battery before i can turn it back on.
this last time, i was just in the sms app, reading a message. i noticed the text was rendering strangely, with sort of colours around the edges of the letters, as if it was a low-res screen. then just as i tapped the message, to try to see if the rendering would change if i highlighted it, the screen turned off, and the phone seems to be dead, requiring a battery pull before i am able to turn it back on.
i haven't pulled the battery yet, and the phone is still sitting apparently dead. however i also notice that despite the screen being off, and it sitting here for a while doing what seems like nothing, the top half of the phone is actually pretty hot (front and back). not due to the screen having been on either, because the bottom half is cold.
Try turning off the eq in the music player. Worked for me it seems.

Based on the replies received so far, I think it is fair to say that these crashes are most likely related to software issues (as opposed to hardware). I guess patience is due while our bleeding edge technology stabilizes..
me too
Yes, i have also had a crash twice in the one week that I have had sgn which required a battery pull to turn the phone back on. I think the first time, I was in the settings and it looked like a few pixels were going crazy then screen went black and I had to pull battery. Then about 5 days later, I was not using the phone but when I went back to it, the screen was black and I couldn't turn it on untill battery pull. Watching this thread with interest.
Had it a few minutes ago with Facebook. Had just opened it when it turned black. No button responded. Eventually managed to get back in menu. Considered removing the app.

Didn't have a black screen so far, but had it freeze 3 times in the week that I own it (2x Google Maps, 1x in Gallery when pressing home button). Screen stays just as it is, no corruption, no dimming, no response to anything.
I had similar problems guys and horrible battery life. It is 100% an app you downloaded.
Do a complete wipe or figure out which app it is one by one. I did the second method and I only lose 1% of battery life an hour on standby.

Hi all,
My Nexus has been doing something a bit weird the past few days... The display is set to go to sleep after 30 seconds of inactivity (and yes, I've triple checked it) though recently it has just been staying on the whole time until I press the power button. I tried a few things, like switching the inactivity time to 15 seconds, or trying it whether plugged in or not, but it still stays on. It's a bit annoying because I'm concerned for privacy if I leave it on my desk (in a college dorm room) while I'm out for a few minutes and it doesn't go to sleep, or for battery if I put it in my pocket and never turns off. Anybody have similar problems or solutions?
Thanks
To me, it sounds like an app is misbehaving, and thus keeping your phone awake... have you tried removing all of your apps except the essentials (gapps) and see if this problem still persists?
Yes so I just turned it off and back on; working better now thanks!
I have tried 3 different Nexus 7 cases on my new Nexus 7 and for some reason the magnetic "screen turn on" feature only works when Wifi is on. Otherwise the screen will not turn on at all, and I will need to press the power button to have the screen turn on.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? At first I thought it was the case but no matter what case I try this issue still persists.
Mine does the same thing. I have a suspicion it is by design but who knows. Gonna do some more searching of threads

Mine works ok with wifi off or on, but if you leave it lose the Access Point after you shut the cover, it won't magnetic wake. Also if you leave it over night, sometimes it won't wake the first thing in the morning. After the first wake it is fine. If I turn on Bluetooth, that behavior goes away.
You might want to try booting into safe mode and see if the same thing happens:

The longer mine sleeps the longer it takes to wake it up. I set to toggle WiFi off when sleep. I will test how it works, when it stays on, though this should be a bug.

don't wake up with magnetic
Same bug. I think
I will try to keep bluetooth on. (To save battery in sleep mode)
mine work on both states
yes, i found this bug from day1 (I bought the LTE just within 1 week and keep finding the scenario)
It didn't has this problem from previous Nexus 7.
If you turn on Wifi or BT, then your smart ON / OFF will work all the time.
I think may be these wireless communication setting causing the awake more sensitive. if all turn off, then N7 will deep sleeping and cannot awake by smart cover.

Hi.
I don't have any problems like wifi dropping while browsing at my home, college or gf's house.
But when i turn off the screen after a while (can be 5 minutes or 30 minutes) my downloads stop (big games from the store, torrents,etc). They resume after i turn on the screen.
Also messages received from email and messengers are unpredictable. For example, while writing this post, i received a notification from hangouts on my N7 5 minutes after i received on my S3. Other times i only get the notification if i turn on the screen.
The battery status and wifi analyzer show me wifi was always on.
On wifi settings, keep wifi on during sleep option is always on, like i want.
This happens on 3 different locations with 3 different isp's.
This doesn't happen with my other 2 android devices.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Let us know if you figure it out.

Did you read my post?
That option is always on like I wrote and highlighted in bold.
It seems that for a few minutes it ignores the option to keep wifi on. Any ideas?
Sounds like the N4 issue to me. Try one of the tips from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072930
Hey all, so I'm having a very annoying and strange issue: My Moto 360 will wake up (i.e. screen turns on) randomly and without reason, ranging from within seconds of each wake to minutes, but it absolutely kills the battery (I can't make it more than 10-12 hours with absolute minimal usage). This is with tilt to wake off, theater mode on, all possible apps except the Android Wear app uninstalled. and the watch sitting completely still on a table. It was happening with Android 5.1 and 5.1.1 on my Nexus 6, and is still happening with the recent 5.1.1 Android Wear update.
The only way to "fix" the waking up issue is if I turn on airplane mode on my phone, which obviously disconnects the watch. So clearly my Nexus 6 is waking up the watch remotely, be it through the AW app or through the connection itself somehow. One other note: when I reset the watch and pair it with my 2013 Nexus 7, the issue doesn't occur, so clearly it's not a problem with the watch's hardware or software, but with the way the Nexus 6 communicates with the watch.
Really would appreciate any insight or guidance as to what's going on - I'm truly at a loss, and the only explanation I can possibly come up with is an issue with my phone's internal hardware (maybe something bluetooth-related)? I've even reset my phone on multiple occasions and that won't fix it.
The only other reference on the internet I can find to this issue is here, where this guy seems to be having the same problem, albeit with a different Mororola-produced phone: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-wear/5vB-dKc5IGI.
