[Q] Galaxy Nexus Sleep of Death

Problem: Cannot turn on the screen by pressing the power button sometimes. The screen is black or very dim, I cannot tell. One can see nothing on the screen, and it doesn’t accept any touch input, either. The phone still rings if there’s an incoming call. If this happens, the following several presses (about 10 - 20) on the power button will probably lead to a reboot. The “screen auto-rotate” and the proximity sensor may fail after the reboot, but will recover after a manual reboot.
Frequency: Fewer with higher Rom version. About once per day for 4.3.
Other description:
 The problem frequently happens when I just take the phone outside my house/office, and seldom happens when the phone just stays somewhere.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the remaining battery capacity or the uptime, but it never happens when charging.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the Apps installed.
 The problem seldom happens in the first 3-4 days after flashing a Rom, but happens more and more frequently as time goes by. My guess is some cache is stuffed by some trash, which causes the problem. The phone may be fine as long as the trash can be cleaned up on a regular basis.
 I manually reboot my phone at most every two days.
Solutions tried, but don’t work
 Flashing official ROMs 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3 following the procedure “adb reboot bootloader; fastboot oem unlock; flash-all; fastboot oem lock”, without google wallet, not rooted.
 Turning off the auto-brightness control, as suggested by some post on the Internet.

Does it look like it goes to standby normally or does the screen show gibberish and then turns off?

Thank you very much.
I think it's standing-by normally even through the screen is black (or very dim, I cannot tell), since it rings if there's an incoming call. I can see nothing from the screen, and I don't think the screen accepts any touch input, either.
Does this answer your question? Thank you.

Thanks.
Was just asking if you had gibberish yes or no. In that case i've got a different issue than you (Suspecting f*cked GPU).
Have you tried a different ROM/Kernel combination maybe it's related to that.

No.
No, I just tried the official ROMs. Any suggestion?

Perhaps it's just busy in the background and running low on RAM. Give LagFix a try. Sorry can't link atm as I am on mobile...

LagFix does NOT help in my case. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I've also had this blank screen with calls still ring issue for as long as I can remember, nearly 2.5 yrs.
I've always suspected it's my ROM and so I'd try out another ROM'S, BUT no other ROM works like how I'd like, so I always come back to my ROM.
It doesn't happen every single day, but it does happen very often.
I've tried using apps that auto reboot daily, but eventually this blank screen issue will return.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find any solution, so I just put up with it, it's like the 1 only flaw with my ROM.
&
Not to be at all rude, but I'm really glad op has had this issue from testing other versions of Android, cause then at least I know I don't need to give up my great tablet mode ROM.
LOL

I think I've finally found a work around for this screen of death.
Using Exposed, download/install this module/extension:
Disable Proximity
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mrchandler.disableprox
It does exactly what it's name is and ever since then I've not once had to remove my GN battery to work again because the screen went completely dead.

NVM
Screen still goes dead.
Anyone find an actual fix to this?

isajoo,
I had pretty much the same problems with my Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod 11 M12.
It got better by doing the following :
Blowing dry air in the earpiece… though the proximity sensor is clearly beside it. Can't do any harm though, I guess.
Settings/Applications/All/menu/Reset applications preferences (or whatever that's called in english) : that seemed to do a lot of good to my phone ! However, it's a very unsatisfactory answer on a technical point of view, as I still don't know WHAT was precisely needed. It's a "magic wand" solution for which I can't give an explanation.
Not specifically related, but greatly helped my phone in the responsiveness area : Trimmer (fstrim) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer), an updated version of LagFix that you may already know
Hope that helped !
(I wanted to try http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-perform-proximity-sensor-calibration-on-any-samsung-phone/ as well, but apparently, /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal does not exist on my phone…)

big problem with incoming calls

as the title says,when i have an incoming call and drug the slider to answer ,screen freezes and i have to reboot phone to get it working again!!
most of the time happens when i have it in my pocket..
this does not happen everytime of course but in ten calls it will happen three times,
that s the frequency.
my screen is not original,i replaced it myself with one from ebay,but was working fine for months.
i removed my screen protector,did all service tests,searched a lot,now i m flashing stock lollipop with flashtool to see if it happens again,will try safe mode also(but i m not installing any apps any way ).
did anyone faced a situation like mine before?
thanks

Never happened to me, but seems like what you're doing is the best route. Which rom were you on? Maybe check in with rom-specific forum/thread.

it happens also in official rom,no apps installed,standard settings,so i guess it s a hardware problem:crying:
something wrong with the screen maybe(which is working in every touch,everywhere else,just freezes in incoming calls)
i ll try to find another way to accept calls.intelligent gestures,maybe with power button
i will search for apps for alternative way to answer calls.
if anyone has something in mind please post it here:good:

Anyone notice bugs since last OTA patch?

I've been having issues with touch responsiveness off and on for the last two weeks or so, and I'm wondering if somehow the last security patch could have caused it. Like, I will be typing with the swipe and it will stop halfway through a word and spit out random stuff, or sometimes I have to pull a few times to bring down my notification bar

Everything's ok for me. Are you using a glass protector?

No such issue here either, I don't use a screen protection.

I am using a glass screen protector, but I've had it since I had the phone

I'm having the same issue. And of course, it's not doing it now as i swipe. Happens more when i type.

I have noticed something similar. My issues has been like this since I got the phone and upgraded to 8.1. I heard of others also making this complaint after the fist update to 8.1.
For me... When I try to silence a call it will not let me swipe down on the end button. Unlocking can also be a challenge.

I use a pattern and sometimes getting to that can be an issue.

The only problem I've noticed, and I'm not positive this is from the OTA, my Gear S3 stopped vibrating and showing notifications from Android Messages. It was literally the day or the day after I took the OTA. But, who knows. All other SMS apps seem to work fine though.

I still haven't unlocked and rooted mine yet, so I'm hoping by doing so maybe this issue will disappear. Lol at least it doesn't seem to be just me. Though I'm glad to have this issue and not one of the other, worse issues I've heard of people having ?

I'm unlocked with root...

I have screen touch issues. Answering or declining a call is frustrating.

I get it still when I try to swipe away a notification or if i'm pulling down the Notification shade to access the quick toggles, it goes up and i gotta pull it down like 4 times to get it to stay

Yeah I've noticed this as well, have issues answering and rejecting calls and typing on the phone the touch screen responsiveness is off. Hopefully they fix this and the battery drain issue in the March update, because you know we wont get an update before March 5th lol. Also noticed my Gear S3 doesn't receive notifications properly anymore, tried factory resetting the watch and the phone and no resolution unfortunately.

I noticed this both on factory 8.1 image AND on DU RC22 Rom.
Once in a great while, usually when playing a game, I have to tap twice to get a recognized touch, especially near the edges.

Question Annoying Gboard Voice Dictation Problem

So I have an interesting problem. Whenever I use voice button on gboard, (on my 9 pro) intermittently, it won't recognize my voice unless I speak INCREDIBLY loudly. It's incredibly annoying because I'll be speaking a paragraph, and it just stops randomly recording midway through it.
My theory is that it might be a microphone volume problem. I've come to this conclusion because I have an S21 ultra, and it NEVER ever does that. On my Ultra, it picks up my voice smoothly throughout the entire paragraph.
I've tried normal gboard and gboard beta. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a way to fix?
(I've checked everything. I have background data on, and set the battery to 'not optimize'. I don't have any special battery saving apps that could be causing issues. Usage access and all relevant permissions has been granted for voice dictation).

Working just fine

Say two paragraphs, with about a 4 second pause in between. Please make a video and upload here so I can see. Hitting the voice button multiple times is okay.

I tried this and for me it is working with normal pauses. I am not gonna make a video, sorry.

I'm sorry I'm having trouble believing you. (I don't mean that in a bad way)
Are you rooted, do you have any audio mods?

I am rooted and have no audio mods.
If you do not believe me that is fine.
Maybe someone else can test it for you.
I never use this function, but today I have tried it specifically for you.
Talked around 3 -4 minutes and it was dictating just fine. When I was finished talking I noticed that the keyboard was still listening for quite some time.
Maybe my voice is a little bit louder, but I did not have to raise my voice.

On OP9, happens to me but when it does it will type out the first word and then it will stop recording. Not sure why it does this

This is EXACTLY what I was talking about. It does this to me constantly.
This never happens to me on my S21 ultra.
I'm wondering if there's a way to increase microphone volume for voice dictation.
Does anybody know an ADB command to accomplish this?

Same issue here. It doesn't happen always, but it happens frequently enough to be annoying. Just the first word and then it stops.

Mine does the same thing. Super annoying.

Question OnePlus 11 not ringing when receiving phone calls?

I am not entirely sure if I'm tripping, but I seem to be missing phone calls pretty damn often. I think I recall at one point I randomly grabbed my phone to have it by me and noticed that someone was calling me but it wasn't ringing at all, though the screen did light up. I made sure my settings do have have "Do Not Disturb" mode on. I have the CPH2451 and running stock with latest OTA A.10 update. After doing a brief Google search, I see that OnePlus has had issues in the past but those are from the OnePlus3 and OnePlusNord so I am not sure if that's still relevant in this day and age.
Anyone experiencing something similar or have any clues as to what might be going on?
Edited: Fat fingered the model #. Fixed.

This might be obvious to you, so just ignore if you know this.
When holding your phone in your hand like you're texting in portrait mode, there's a switch top right and on side of phone.
Adjust the switch so it's down.

Ive experienced this, even after swapping to 2449.
Seems theres a couple settings that revert on reboots for some odd reason.
Just go into the phone app settings, notifications and reset thr ring tone and all set after 2 times doing it ... annoying?? damn right!... but at least its fixable ....

That's so dumb... The more I use this phone, the more I get buyer's remorse.
I haven't restarted my phone since I got it I think but I'll try that and see if the issue persists. Thanks!
Edit: Any word if OnePlus is aware of this and plans on fixing it? If not, perhaps I should forward this to them.

don't know if they are aware. just to add to the weirdness of it... for me... after the second time, the setting sticks...

i have this problem with my 8 pro, the phone doesn't ring and i think it goes straight to VM? seems like something broke with one of the latest OP updates?

There's no such version as CPH2541.
And here it works perfectly. Factory reset and try again.
