Anyone's Nexus(CDMA) powering itself off randomly?

Mine does this about 10 times a day. I pull it from my pocket after not using it for a while and find that it is powered down. I then have to power it on by holding the power button. I have no idea what could be causing this. I know two other people that have the nexus and haven't had a single random power down or reboot. I have factory reset it three times in hopes of fixing the issue. Do I maybe have a defective device?

I had a few of these when on the stock Rom. After rooting and switching to rootzboat Rom I've had no more random reboots.

No issues at all and im happy about that. When got my droid incredible at launch it would reboot ask the time due to having issues connecting to cell towers.

I'm using the stock rom and I would be thrilled if that was the reason because it would mean my device isn't defective.

I'd say your device is fine. If you're gonna stay stock just wait for a fix maybe with an upcoming update, or just root now and take care of the issue. Once I rooted my phone performs 100 times better in every way, plus no more reboots. Look around they have some great Roms out already. I'm running a 4.0.3 and its fantastic!

Cool, I'll hold off til the next update from Google and if it hasn't resolved the issue I'll flash a custom rom.

Or is it possible to have a bad flash of the stock rom? I wonder if it would help to reflash it.

I definately think this is a problem. My nexus has been completely fine for a week and just starting yesterday it freezes and restarts constantly. It seems like it does it everytime there is more than one thing happening at the same time.
Like a text message rolling in at the same time Im trying to play a youtube video. Or hitting the volume rocker when I get a text...
It is absolutely crazy tbh - like I said phone has been completely fine.. and now its getting worse by the hour.
I am completely stock - no way im waiting for an update because there is no way my unit is not defective.

Yeah, so I think my issue is different than OP's.
I have no idea what could have happened to make it this bad.
I decided to try a factory reset and now I cant even get through the activation without it freezing and rebooting... lol - so the phone at this point is completely useless - cant use it at all.

i have a gsm galaxy nexus which has been playing up since the last 2 days . random reboots and now its gone into a bootloop . the phone wont go beyond the google splash screen.

I think it randomly shut off when you're multitasking? I had it happen twice but can't quite figure out the cause.

I think I may have figured out whats going on with mine. It looks like the battery is a little loose inside the cover and if it moves too much it loses contact and the phone powers off. I tested this by dropping the phone from one hand into the other. I kind of threw it down at my other hand and when it hit it powered off. It doesn't power off every time but it powered down maybe 3 out of 20 tries. That makes me think that may be the issue.
Anyone that wants to try it out let me know your results. I may just have a defective device.

I'm full stock, sometimes he freezes for a short time due the heavy load.
Try to do a factory reset or a fresh flash.

i already tried reflashing and a factory reset. but it's still happening. i think this is hardware i better check this on a repair center

Just deal with it. This is Android. Which means Google-Linux Frankenstein beta. Everything is beta. Nothing is stable. And the devs want money for their unoriginal ideas.
Until you're ready to plunk down big bucks for an iPhone 6 ( a real smartphone) accept the limitations of these over priced Korean devices.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

The whole Android experience is a mix and match of parts. Nothing is completed. Sure, there is not as much lag as there was four years ago, but there's glitches and hiccups and hassles and headaches all over the place.
I will not be getting another Android phone.
And google is a sorry company that only sees projects part of the way through. Sure, there are some really good apps, like Keep. It synchronizes well across the desktop and mobile.
But they have no interest in fully developing certain items such as Google Maps. Right now, Maps reroutes the driver even when he is not off course. Sometimes several times in a minute. When I'm driving in downtown Boston, this is a bad thing to be happening.
And I'll never get another Android phone. FLashing roms. I hope I get to a point with a new phone where I don't have to hear that term again.
You flash this rom and wow, you can drop down to 3G if you like. But hey, the speaker volume sucks. Okay, well try this fix. Now the phone is in boot loop.
Wipe the phone. Now try this. Ok great that works. Except now all my contacts won't sync.
LTE won't stick. Screen burn in with Note 2. With certain launchers, much lag.
Crappy arse cameras that take too long to focus or they capture the shot while there is blur. I've gone through at least 15 camera apps in my google android Frankenstein LOVELY phurking experience. None compare the iphone 4s which is what, three years old now?
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I've got things to do this morning or I would start listing off many other issues with Google Android Samsung junkity junk junk.
And no, I won't gtfo. Don't read my posts if you don't like!

Lol alright buddy good luck to you.

Actually i experience freezes in the internal browser on turkey KK on some websites.
In the past i had system hang up with a specific app for Bluetooth in the car.
Maybe it's app related in your case ?

Solution to Lags caused on g pro
Just install clean master and do a memory boost....and the device will no longer experience any kind of lag.....:good:.....also frequently clean the cache.

I understand at some point and is frustrating sometimes but phone makers NEED BRING REAL ANDROID EXPERIENCE and NO FULL BLOAT CRAP APPS this is why I think more what was my next phone for now LG is on mark
Samsung is dead for me except S3 and Gnote 1 truly outstanding phones. after that all is the same sh****

Fed up with LP

I am sick of Lollipop on my Note 4. It has terrible battery life, my wifi doesnt connect unless I turn it off and back on. I have already tried clearing the cache, doing a battery pull, removing sim and SD card to no avail. I just want to go back to the way things were.
How do I go back to the factory image before Lollipop? I have looked and saw some threads mention odin, but nothing with a concrete tutorial. I dont want to brick the thing as I just sold my old phone and burnt my upgrade on the Note 4. The model number is SM-N910V. It is not the dev edition.

Only way to get back to KK 4.4.4 is to d/l the full firmware tar for the Note 4 retail and flash it with Odin 3.0.9.

The battery drain isnt my gripe. Even on my phone all day using it for my job I still have 30% left at the end of the day and never start the day off with a full charge. The wifi issue is. I have 6Gb on Verizon between 2 accounts. 15 days into the cycle I had used 75% of my data due to my phone randomly disconnecting from Wifi. In the past we have never used more than 2Gb of our 6 combined.

Ooh forgot to put that in I feel you she complains about the same wifi issue for some reason she's the one on my account that always uses the least data we have 15gb and lately she's been dropping her wifi also and using anywhere between 5 to 6gb a month when she usually only use 1 to 2

Pretty much step by step Make sure to block OTAs afterwards or it will automatically take the update.

Once Im back on KK, how do I disable OTA? Im guessing there is an Android service that runs that needs to be stopped.

Sweet! Same here. I probably will hold out until the next OTA. Hopefully it will be at least 5.1 with several fixes:fingers-crossed:

If you do decide to try LP again you may want to try a factory data reset (i.e., Settings, Backup and reset, Factory data reset) before taking the OTA to LP and do another factory data reset after taking the OTA to LP. That's how I upgraded from KK to the current LP 5.0.1 and I'm not experiencing any of the problems reported by others. I get good battery life and have no problems with dropped WiFi.

The thing that sucks is that you shouldn't have to do all of that, just to take an update. You shouldn't have to set up your phone again.
Missing root.

Agreed, but this seems to be the situation that we face with the current upgrade process. It is a pain, but not all that bad, and probably required if you want to run LP anytime in the near future.

Do we has unlocked bootloader?

After root came out for G4 i never heard that unlocked bootloader came out. Im looking through the threads, but most are old or got off topic, so to keep it simple
Is there unlocked bootloader for VZ G4 yet?

No

We don't even have a fully working phone..People with 12a has broken WiFi notifications and people without it have touch screen issues.

^^ So much this. It's depressing.

Read somewhere that a lot of first batch phones have faulty circuit boards, that's what is causing the issues. I'm still on 10b and wanted to hold out for the bootloader unlock, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen anytime soon. Might bite the bullet and try to do a warranty replacement through LG so I get a new phone vs a certified pre owned from Verizon...

Not everybody with pre 12a have touchscreen issues. I'm on 11a and I have absolutely no touchscreen issues. It's smooth, fast, and responsive.

X's three, mine seems to be doing fine but when I download an app from xposed and reboot it, it takes hours to load when I reboot. I don't know if I can attribute that toward this issue.

How are you rebooting -- selecting reboot from the power menu? My reboot lag was resolved once I stopped selecting reboot and just shut down the phone entirely then used the power button to turn it back on. No idea why that worked, but it worked for someone else here at XDA too, so it's worth a shot.

downgrading to kitkat

hi guys. I wanted to downgrade back to kitkat because of the constant rebooting problem and I stumbled upon this warning message. is this true? please peruse the attachment.

You can downgrade back. Ive done it before. But why downgrade when MM is coming? Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting battery? Or even resoldiering it?

Downgrading to KitKat works just fine. I've done it many times. I wouldn't worry too much about MM coming out soon. I mean, we've only had ONE article saying it's coming soon, but it still technically isn't an official source. A reliable one, but not official. KitKat is easier to deal with than Lollipop though in regards to Xposed and viper4android. The UI looks, and IS, better for the OLED display.

thank you friends. what was the deal with that screenshot of that warning anyway? is it outdated info?

I think it's more of a warning that something could go wrong if you don't know what you're doing. That's the first I've seen any kind of message like that though.

I'm on Lollipop right now waiting for Marshmallow. If MM isn't released by the end of August, I'll be going back to KitKat. KitKat is very stable in all ways! For me, viper4android works without issue, Xposed doesn't require you to be deodexed, and it just looks better.

Only when my battery drops below 50% and it becomes more and more frequent the lower it gets. It becomes unbearable around 30%. Flickers with a green light, random reboots, and false power offs. The false power offs are when the screen goes black but the device is still on and reacts to volume buttons and home button. Pushing the power button would seem to do nothing but it's actually locking the device but you wouldn't know that because the device seems to be off. Pushing the power button again unlocks the device and the screen comes back on but will turn off again randomly within a few minutes.
I'm on my second Tab S right now. The display on my first got a hairline fracture in the digitizer so the screen had this temporary, at first, green/yellow tint which could be temporarily "fixed" by holding the corners and bending inward. Not the best fix as you can imagine. Everything else on it worked just fine but it was going to cost the same price as a new one just to fix the screen so I gave it to a friend and bought myself a new one. I had for just over a year.

yes same symptoms! i can't use a tablet which goes crazy when below 50%. I tried an AOSP rom once which limited the CPU to about 400mhz and the flickering and shutdowns are minimized. but. what can you do with such a slowpokey device these days haha. when I was still on stock lollipop, enabling power saving mode helped a bit as well.
people keep saying it is a battery connector issue or something but I've replaced the battery and it still does the same thing. doesn't seem to happen on kitkat so far. so I hope the rumored marshmallow update will get that issue fixed. and I'm surprised samsung didn't develop a patch for this widely reported shutting down issue.
does your second tab S work like a charm on lollipop though? perhaps it's a different batch with a different motherboard or something.

I never believed it to be the battery connector. I'll admit I'm not electrical engineer or anything like that, but I've been playing around with devices since I was 5 by taking them apart and a battery connector just doesn't make sense to me. I think it's a OS and device (a certain batch or something) issue. None of these issues were on KitKat. My first Tab S had NONE of these issues whatsoever! Only this current Tab has shown these issues. It "works like a charm"....as long as I stay above 50%.
