Hi all, there is a small app I wrote that will solve the problem with the Nexus 4 dying while connected to the charger overnight. It's completely free (no ads also) and can be downloaded from Google's Play Store. No ROOT required, works on completely stock phones. I tried it on my phone and haven't had a SoD for 5 nights (I used to have it almost every night). Also a colleague of mine used to suffer from this and the app solved his problem too.
The app basically puts a wakelock on the phone that will allow for the backlight to go off, so the screen doesn't age, but will prevent the CPU from sleeping while charging. Once external power is disconnected, the wakelock is released and so the app does NOT consume any battery (while in automatic mode).
So if you happen to have the same issue, feel free to try the app and save yourself the troubles of returning otherwise a perfectly good phone.
P.S. I have just uploaded the app, so if it's not yet visible for your country, please try again in a few hours.
Update: Now the application checks if the power is connected when the device is powered on, because otherwise the wakelock was not acquired when powering on with charger connected. Unfortunately this requires a new permission ("RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED") and the application to be opened after updating for the receiver to be registered by the system. Also I added a notification in the status bar while the application is running. You have to enable it in the settings if you want it displayed.
will test it an report back

its NOT a hardware issue, software related. was VERY common on android 4.1.2, especially on the galaxy nexus. it happened to all the different nexus, nut the gnex suffered the most. 4.2.2 fixed the issue, and google did say it was a real issue. it still happens, but much rarer than before. btw, there are a few apps that bring it on for the nexus 4, one known app to bring on sod is ezekeels experience app. chew on that.

Because some of us that live in countries where Google doesn't sell devices and because it's easier to solve it rather than returning the device.

it creates a wakelock preventing the device from (deep)sleeping. its not really a solution, is just a work around for the problem.

Exactly. But it listens for charger connected / disconnected to acquire / release the wakelock and thus consumes energy only while the device is connected to an external power source (you can see it starting and stopping in the manage applications settings menu). True, that's not a "solution" (that's Google's job), but it doesn't interfere with the normal device operation and does not require any user interaction other than enabling it on install, so until there is a real solution it's the best I can come up with .

Definitely software. My problems started happening after 4.2.2 updates. I wish I paid attention to what kernel version it began on.
Anyway, I haven't had an issue since using this app. So about two days.
Thanks a million tkolev! I can use this as my alarm again.

I have no idea. My first thought was to create a Daydream as those seemed to help too, but I could not turn the display off (you can only control the brightness but that would still keep the backlight on). The strange thing is that while "dead" something in the system is still working because an application that shows the battery percentage by changing the color of the notification LED was still working. Even after I had unplugged the phone. I know that it might sound like a heresy here, but I don't want to use custom ROMs (I use my Nexus for development and keeping it stock for compatibility is a must), so trying different kernels and ROMs was a no-go.

I only recently got my hands on the Nexus 4. I live in Bulgaria and Google does not sell devices here, so I had to either wait for any of my colleagues to go to the US on a business trip while the device was in stock or pay more than 150% to buy one from a local reseller. I've been on 4.2.2 since day one. No custom ROMs, no root, not even unlocked boot loader.

I see. The reason I'm asking is it didn't start happening to me until 4.2.2, but not sure what kernel revision it started on.

With all due respect (honestly) and not sarcastically- if this was the case wouldn't the phone come rooted already and in developer mode? I am pretty sure it is being marketed as the flagship "pure google" phone and not only for developers. That said it is easily understandable as to why this is a frustrating issue.
To the OP: A million thanks! I hope this app does the trick- regardless thanks for your efforts and making this community what it is.
I've had my nexus for a while now and as much as I enjoy using it there is a really big issue that keeps coming back. The touch sensitivity on my screen is terrible. It won't recognize half of my touches from time to time and its really frustrating. I have tried fixing it using the ts files and will work for a while then it will start with its issues again.
I also flashed almost every ROM I could think of trying to see if i t fixed the issue however it did not. I always flashed the unlock for the ts after so it would not stick in the new Roms hoping that it would get better. I have also done a full factory reset and wipe without any luck. Currently I'm running Android L lpv81( the second release) and I'm not ropted. I was using 4.4.4 with twrp earlier but it doesn't matter as long as I can get this touch issue fixed.
I looked around the forum for a while and used every fix I could find but none lasted long enough for me to enjoy it. I would really appreciate any help with this, I'm not afraid to mess around with some things to fix this issue.
My stock one year old Nexus will also occasionally not respond to my touch. Not enough to be really annoying.

It happens more often than not, in fact its enough to make typing hard and or frustrating at times. I have a feeling that it's a hardware issue, but unless there's a fix I'll just had the nexus 8 when our comes out.

If not possible, try the TS drivers that the above post likely links.

It's been a while since I did it, but I think you start here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411741?ref_topic=3237699/#ts=4626603,4626497
My phone is giving me a tremendous amount of trouble when it comes to the headphones. Any movement of the headphone plug causes it to jumble all the music up and launch voice control. It's very annoying!!!!
And then there is also the visible digitizer issue which I am completely bored of now.
So my two choices are either get a warranty exchange through T-Mobile (possible refurbished unit sent to me, is there a way to avoid that?), or send the phone back to LG and have them look at it. What do you guys think?

I would advise to get a new (different) device. I have had nothing but issues with my device. As of this writing i am waiting on my 6th phone exchange with in one year. They said the can get me a different device but it would be a DOWNGRADE. Or i could use my jump but i dont believe i should have to waste a jump on their **** device. Dont get me wrong i love this phone but quality is poor. Take what you will with this because im sure others will disagree with me but everyone has their own opinion. There is a way to guarentee that you recieve a brand new device but you would have to pm me for that info. And no its not fradulant either.

I have had this phone now for maybe 4-5 months. Coming from a nexus 5 I am really upset. The lag on this device is god awful. I cant even carry on a hangouts chat because the typing is so laggy. I constantly have to go close my recent apps to try to recover some ram in order to make the device speed even remotely bareable. My nexus 4 was crisp and snappy as was my nexus 5. I very rarely experienced any slowdown and now I am stuck with this device that is just so horribly slow.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to fix this? I may just go plunk down to repair the faulty power button on my 5 and just use that. A much nicer device that cost me less than the 5x.

What have you tried already to speed things up? Also, what rom build are you on? I presume stock? Rooted or not?
The first thing I would suggest is a factory reset and/or flash the latest factory image.

I am on stock. not rooted. I have not rooted a device in some time. Perhaps the time has come to get back into the custom rom scene if only to increase performance.
I have tried deleting unused apps and cleaning up my storage space to see if that helps but it has not. I am on 6.0.1 of the stock rom.

These threads annoy me. Especially when people haven't rooted or unlocked their NEXUS devices. Half the point of these phones is to unlock and root them without having to work too hard or get in trouble from your carrier. I don't think I owned this phone for more than a few hours before flashing a new ROM on it.
Many other people have had the same complaints as you and after spelling out the steps they should take to unlock, root, flash a new ROM and kernel, they're often much happier with their devices. The RAM thing is a joke, tbh. I think a lot of people read the threads and articles about how "The New Nexus 5 successor only has Two Gigabytes of Memory?!" and now everyone blames that on their slowdowns and lag issues.
Take some time out one night and unlock your phone, flash the newest radios, vendors, custom recovery, etc and flash a custom ROM. It's a breeze. If you ever did it on your original N5, you'll have no trouble with this phone. There are plenty of great ROMs to choose from. Then, if you'd like, flash a custom Kernel as well. The performance will be night and day. If you'd like to take it further, check out the Interactive Governor Tweaks thread and download a profile or two from there. It really improves the battery life and performance in most cases... All is not lost, my friend. If you do what I explained I am confident you will be much happier with your phone.
Exactly what Alcolawl said. The only reason I ever booted the stock ROM was to check "Allow OEM Unlocking". I am coming from a 6P and I have noticed absolutely no lag or stutter. The phone is a bit creaky, which I expected at a low price point, but the hardware is excellent. I didn't think anybody bought a Nexus and didn't unlock it and root it.

Totally get where you guys are coming from. I used to root every device and flash custom Roms all the time. I was flashing custom roms on the G1 before most folks even knew what android was. I still have a Nexus 5 in my closet with paranoid Android on it as well as a 2012 Nexus 7 with paranoid Android that got so dead without charging that now it won't even boot. Man really wish I could figure out how to fix that one.
My point is that I guess I've gotten used to not having to play with custom Roms(or having any desire to) My hope was that I wouldn't need to get into all that that's all. I'll go through and unlock/root and flash some Roms and that will be that. Thanks for the advice.

I ended up clearing cahce on a lot of different apps and also realized that esfile explorer has a recylce bin. It was storing all my deleted files. Cleaned that out and whoosh, fast again. Still think I'll root and play with some Roms though.

If you go through with all this and flash a custom ROM & kernel, let me know how it compares to stock would you? I have a rooted/unlocked 6p which I LOVE but my wife wanted something easier to handle so we got her the 5x. Her's has similar issues overall but unfortunately she's not really for me messing with her phone (sigh, I know lol). Anyways, am curious for an honest opinion, especially with a pure Nexus/ex kernel combo as my 6p works a dream with that Just figured I'd ask if ya happen to do it, otherwise no worries. Thanks!!

I'm fully serious. My Moto X Pure wasn't working out for me so I sold it and bought this. If this phone didn't meet my expectations I'd buy a different phone. If the phone lags, sell it and buy something else that doesn't. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.

No worries, I'll look forward to your response! Thanks again!
Wait! I just realized I don't have a USB c to a cord. Anyone rooted without a computer?

How easy is it to root and install custom ROMs on this device?
Super easy. Fastboot oem unlock and you're good to go.

Sweet! So it can be connected directly to my PC with the USB cable, without splicing wires and making a bizarre kind of dock like what had to be done with the Moto 360? 'Cause I could never get that working and there weren't many custom ROMs for it.

Correct. There aren't many custom roms for this one either since it's Android Wear and there isn't a LOS Wear project floating around for everyone to modify, but there are probably more than any other Android Wear device.
I never got the 360 cable working either. I came close but something started smoking and after that, I got no response from any cable that I tried.

The one I got was the Fit, which has a small b&w screen. Doesn't seem very customizable. Oh well. The battery life is fantastic though!
This watch has really been bad since the AW 2 official update.
WiFi never wants to connect on the watch which forces me to use mobile data on my phone and actually turn off WiFi on both watch and phone.
The constant Bluetooth pairing requests.
Notifications not showing up unless I reboot both watch and phone.
I wasn't 100% in love with AW 1.5 but it worked as advertised. Thinking of selling the watch and going back to a dumb watch.

Have you tried a custom ROM?
