Hi guys.
Today I woke with my phone full of problems. I first noticed the screen darkr in the lower left area, but after a restart that went out...and othe ptoblems came. Now the screen in 100% bright all the time and my battery is being eaten alive. The brightness slider no longer works I.e sliding it doeant change anything and whenever I hit the power button to turn off the screen it shuts down the phone.
I slept with the phone the other night so I may have broken something. Has anyone foynd tnis before?

Literally the exact same thing happened to me just now. Lower corner screen darkened, and after reset I'm burning through the battery at a record pace with no way to lower brightness. Wish someone knew how to fix this

I have a problem with my Galaxy Nexus turning OFF at night.
I goto bed at night and open the clock app and click the screen to dim it. When I wake up in the morning the phone is OFF. I have to pull the battery in order to boot. The battery is fully charged.
I returned the phone after this happened twice and received a brand new one. I have the same problem with this new device. I have changed the power socket and the charger yet still the problem persists.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
I have Skype installed and running which maybe the cause. I will keep it OFF for the next few nights to see if this has a positive effect.
Try it without any off your apps installed. If the problem goes away you know it's an app causing the problem. Then start adding them back in batches until the problem re-occurs. Eventually you'll narrow the issue down to one app.

This is happening to me too.
At random times, the phone will refuse to wake from sleep.
Nothing but a battery pull will fix it.
I don't have skype installed.
Have a look at this:

Mine started today. Really hope this does not keep happening or I need to return this right away. Missed a few phone calls today and didnt realize until I looked down any my phone was just simply black. Will not wake up or do anything at all. You have to pull the battery. Right before this happened my data was dropping non stop about every 5 minutes for an hour.
I'm trying to stay calm because I love this phone, but between the data drops and the phone turning off im loosing patience quick.
This is happening to me as well. With TWO different phones. The first one I returned to Verizon and now its happening on the second one.
Phone will power off while doing random tasks. The two I've noticed is browsing on the stock browser and texting on the stock texting app.
I'm having the same problem. It's happened twice in the 3 days I've had the phone. It hasn't happened while I'm using it, both times it was when the screen was already off -- it just wouldn't waku up. Nothing short of pulling the battery, letting it sit, then powering on would work.
Couldn't have come at a worse time either, my daughter is in the hospital and I get updates from the surgeons via phone. So now I have to check every 5 minutes and make sure the phone is still on.
Phone is bone stock, out-of-the-box.

it does it when i have skype running too. also i have other other audio apps open. (power amp, tunein, pandora) It's happened twice to me and each time it has been during a skype call while the other apps were running. (in widget form)
shock sensitive in the area right below the camera?
My device just "randomly" switches off (sometimes several times a day). After a long search for a reproducible cause, it seems safe to say that at least some devices seem to be extremely shock sensitive in the area right below the camera (on the back of the device). Even minuscule shocks to this area switch these devices off. Youtube-user 'jardinepatten' demonstrates this problem nicely in a video called "Galaxy Nexus Turning Off".
HI,
I guess others have had this problem but i cant really find the answer.
I have a problem with proximity sensor that i have to press the phone at the top left side in order to switch it off after its on. It works fine like that when i test it at service tests but when i don't press the phone at the top left side it does not turn off most of the time. Yesterday i also had problems that the screen was off for few minutes at high light no matter what i did. since i finished what i had with phone i did not remove the battery to see if the problem will repeat, all i did after the screen was on, was a reboot but i did not have the chance to test it again at direct sunlight again.
I don't have something on top of it, all i have is the screen protector that came with the phone.
it is with unlocked bootloader, stock rooted rom, supercharged and with removed bloatware software's. this is all i can remember to tell for my phone, i have never tried other custom rooms since i did not have the time because of school.
The phone is new, not even 2 months old, hope i don't have to send it to repair.

A couple of days ago i received a new G2.
As soon as i rooted it i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605016
Everything completed and the phone would operate normally. I let it fully charge during the night. Next morning i installed some apps from the market (skype fb and a weather widget), then i let it charge again for 20 minutes or so. When i got back to see if it charge, the screen was dimmed like in power saving mode, it wouldn't go back no matter what and the phone hanged there.
I got the battery out and upon rebooting the screen was still dimmed.
I got back to 2.3.3 stock which i had backed up to SD from clockwork, but the problem continued.
I contacted the seller and said they would ship a new one as soon as i sent them the shipping back notice. The thing is i don't want to wait half a month or even more to get the new phone.
I've attached a video of the problem.
I played with the brightness levels on 4.2, you will notice that if i put it on 100% the screen goes completely black.
Also when i put it in standby with the power button and push it again the screen starts flickering for some seconds before it gets stabilized again.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Are you using automatic backlight?

Sounds to me like it is really a hardware issue... while it's understandable that you don't want to wait for a new phone to arrive, it is better than ending up with a dead backlight...
It really was a hardware issue, took another one back after a month and it works great.
Thanks for your help guys
Hi today as usual i was playing with my phone ,battery under 15% appeared.
It was on 12% and i recharge it
After about 2 hour i came back to unplug the charger. I saw the phone is off and it did not turn on !
I take out the battery and Turn it on
But when i turned it on the screen did not showing the colors correctly it was like when you change the color depth in windows from 32bit to 256colors
And a big problem with black colors
Actually the black colors were shown in red And the at&t boot logo signs was remained in screen.
I dont know what happened and the charge level was in 60%
After about 10min the screen became better from top sides but i could feel the att logo in screen
And after 20min it was clear and every thing was ok .
It was frightening and i thought that it damaged.
did anyone had the same problem before?
What happened to this phone !?
I did restart it many time and recharge it. My nitro seems to work fine.
Is the screen damaged ?

I'm having the same issue and having a really hard time finding any info on it. After booting it looks "ok".. but during boot it looks as this person described it: windows in 256 colour mode.. Very strange. My phone drained down to 0% today during work, and I just tried plugging it in and turning it on.
Hopefully this goes away. Running CM10.1 RC5 with Wind 2.3 and I have flashed the new adreno drivers and changed max layers to 2 in build.prop to make camera buttons display properly.
i switched back to modded ics stock after cm10.1 had 3-4 nightlies that didn't even boot and all kinds of bugs in the last 3 weeks, i'm waiting for a stable release to come out before i switch back, i recommend switching back to stock while they deal with recent issues, that's just my opinion tho. u guys could try backing up ur cm10.1 and flashing a stock rom to see if the problem is fixed, even if u decide to switch back to cm after, it's worth a shot.
if flashing a cwm flashable stock modded rom fixes the issue you might want to consider doing a full wipe and going back to rc2 or nightly 19th-22nd of may before the issues started
This is something very peculiar I'm experiencing. I got the desire a few months ago, rooted it, and I'm fine with S-Off. Now the peculiar thing's that a couple of days ago, I was watching a movie on my phone, and it was working fine, when suddenly the screen blackened. It wont turn on even when I tried the power button. I was devastated until at night I tried to turn on the screen again, and my room was dark, and I noticed that there was a flickering of light in the screen, and I could detect all my icons. The touch was working all right too. I started to slightly tap my phone, and this turned it on after a few tries. But the problem's that it keeps on doing so (blacking out) every hour or so of use, and I love playing Chess at level 10. Can someone help with this??? I'm sure this is a hardware related prob, cuz I tried every software and app things.
