I'm having a problem with my Verizon galaxy nexus. The screen goes nuts with phantom touches. Happens a couple times a day. If I turn the screen off, then on it fixes it for a couple minutes. Rebooting fixes it for a few hours or more.
I factory reset, updated to Codename 3.8 from 3.6.6, tried different kernels. Have the same problem. I did restore with titanium backup, would that have brought the problem back if it's a software problem?
I turned on show screen touches in developer options, to make it easier to see when this is happening and what the problem is. It usually shows 1 or 2 extra touches, sometimes more.
Coming from a clean install?
Get the phone back to original software, lock him and unlock later (that erase everything)
Then install CNA or other rom you like.
(sorry for the bad english, just wanna help)
I think I narrowed down the problem. I think it happens when the phone is plugged into the charger then gets to 100% charged.
When I unplugged the phone when this is happening, but leave the screen on, it keeps going til the battery goes to 99%, then starts working normally.
I'm not certain yet cause it doesn't happen every time the phone is 100% charged, but that seems to be the only time it happens.
Edit:
It also happens when the phone is less than 100% charged and plugged into the charger when usb fast charge is enabled.
Hi,
Today I was using my phone as usual, battery was about 75%, then suddenly while I was using Whatsapp the screen went totally black (I have to add that it has happened before, but I haven't been able to identify what is causing it, it might be Android 4.2,franco kernell and maybe switchpro).
I think it has to do with the brightness control becase the screen still detects the touchs, the phone is certanly working, but with a black screen (Brightness to 0% maybe?) so after I remove the battery it boots fine.
But this time, when it was restarting the phone I noticed the battery went down to 20% from 75%! That's impossible to happen (Phone would have melted) because the restart time was under 5 min!
What is more strange is that the phone stayed with 20% for a very long time, it even "autocharged" itself (I know it's impossible)...
What could it be? Help appreciated!
Thanks
Setup is:
Gnex 4.2.1 stock
TWRP recovery (last version)
Franco Kernel 342

yap, I have two gnexs both have had this problem.
I can get a screenshot with vol-down + power
but the screen is totally black.
Yeah I've had this screen of death issue too. I've been trying forever to diagnose what is causing the problem. It happens on any kernel including stock. I factory reset, flashed stock images, everything.
I've narrowed it down to the weather channel app, Adobe flash, csipsimple app, or animations being turned off. Still trying to nail it...
i not have restaert using apk franco updater and set :good:
The sudden battery drop is normal when you pull out the battery. Basically, the phone loses it's calibration on the battery capacity. And that " auto charge" is your phone slowly trying to get a better estimate of your phone battery capacity.

I believe that SODs are a common problem faced by many on 4.2 i personally havn't faced it yet =] running arhd with ak kernel
I was able to reproduce this using Velis Auto Brightness https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS52ZWxpcy5hdXRvLmJyaWdodG5lc3MiXQ
After messing with the brightness it wents black screen.
I'm sure this has to do with the autobrigtness!

the battery losing charge, and the "autocharge", i see often across many devices. that happens to me when flashing different things over a short time period or when benchmarking and crashing its really not losing the charge, it just thinks it did. the batterystats file becomes inaccurate fairly often, maybe it corrupts. and the autocharge or ghostcharge(usually pretty slow btw) is the batterystats slowly becoming accurate again.

I think you just helped me pin it on animation off. I have had the black screen happen to me 3 times in the 3 days that I disabled animations (stock rooted ROM, developer options). I kept trying to find an app that caused it but the animation off matches the start of my problem.
EDIT: Well, animation off isn't the cause since I just had another black screen.

Totally agree with you!happened to me many times too,especially when crashing after tweaking\benchmarking.
I am having troubles booting my phone after the battery depletes and the phone shuts off. My Optimus G is rooted with lifeless Rom v14 and I have TWRP recovery.
So once the phone dies, I plug it in to charge, and the phone screen automaticaly comes on and the LG logo flashes for a second, but nothing happens. The phone doesn't actually charge. If I remove the phone from the charger, the display still stays on until I hard reset it. I cannot access recovery mode or download mode for some reason. Usually when my phone dies, and I plug it in, it will flash the LG logo, keep the display on for a few seconds, and then shut down and restart and show the battery logo charging. I am not getting that this time, and I can't seem to do anything to get it operating again. There also isn't a red LED light to represent charging either. If anyone has had this issue before or knows how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the information right now.
Thanks

I had the exact same problem last night. (weird) I held down the power button for ~15 sec, and let the phone sit for about 15 min. I booted it and got it to load into TWRP and then put it on the charger. Let it charge in TWRP to around 10% and then booted into android and let it charge overnight. I had a mild panic attack at first but all is good now. Stupid software dependent charging.

Ok, that's definitely weird... I came to XDA because of this, it happened to me 2x and I did the same as you, let it charge in CWM till 12% ( shower time) and reboot the system. I'm not sure what exactly is causing the issue, it shouldn't be a software problem.
To try to find what's going on, lets talk about what we have in common:
ROM: Houston stock international (stock 4.1.1)
Charger: Non LG charger (htc)

Hi,
I currently have a problem with my g3. 60% of the times when I try to restart OR turn off/boot the phone doesn't boot at all until I remove/insert the battery which is annoying.
The phone is rooted and on cloudyg3. I had the same problem on Blisspop rom. Is it a hardware problem or software what do you think? The phone does not seems to completely shut down.
Oh, a time when battery ran out of juice, I charged the phone for 15min and noticed that i had to remove/insert battery to see the Red LED/Battery screen and make it turn on. An empty battery cannot keep the software running.
Thanks
