I've noticed that after rooting my 10.1v, if I leave my unit unattended for long periods of time, it turns of itself completely!
It's frustrating because each time I try to turn it on after a few hours I have to wait for it to boot up which takes a few minutes.
I can confirm it's not turning off because the battery has run flat, because I have tried fully charging it, then leave it in my bag, come back later it's fully shutdown, when it comes back up the battery is still at 99%.
Anyone else experiencing this anomaly?

Which applications did you uninstall?
Anyone else having long boot times for the tablet? It's very annoying together with the sleep of death's and many random reboots.
My boot time is like at least 2 minutes, and I see people writing here it takes 20 seconds for them.
From the time I hold down the power button and get the first response on screen to "ready to use" is about 20 seconds on my tablet, that would be a fair estimate. I haven't timed it exactly.
Thanks for the reply. It's weird because it was like that for me at the start. But after some days it just started to take around 2 minutes. Never rooted or anything so no clue what it could be.
Mine takes a while too. Definately longer than 20 seconds, at least a minute.
Just started happening to me during my second day of use. Initially, boot up times were about 20 seconds. Everything seemed to be going well until this evening (second full day of ownership). I came home to see battery drop about 20% while on standby. Looks like "Cell Standby" was the culprit. No idea why this process would eat up battery considering this is WiFi only! Anyway, I also discovered two odds things: 1) it took significantly longer to boot up (about 2 minutes) and 2) I kept getting a warning about being out of space for apps, even though I had about 2GB of storage free.
Trying a hard reset now to see if it fixes these issues.
I noticed boot time increased right after the recent OTA update.
It's pretty odd. What happens is I leave my phone in my pocket for a while. Eventually, seemingly through no effort of my own, I'll pull it out and it will be almost literally on fire. When I wake the screen up, I can see I have no cell connection, the battery is almost dead, and no services seem to be showing in the notification bar. Then, I unlock my screen, and there are a bunch of crash dialogs showing. Typically the one on top is that the Market has crashed and must be force closed. There are about 8 of these dialogs and as soon as I close them all, my phone reboots. After rebooting, I am in the same state. No services started and a pile of dialogs after unlocking, I have to pull the battery for several minutes to let the phone cool down, then when I start it back up it sits at the Rethinking Possible screen for almost 5 minutes and afterwards my phone is working normally aside from needing a charge.
Has anyone else seen this problem??
i think you should try factory wipe.
if no luck then flash it with gingerbread .

Reset to factory, call moto and request a new battery just in case. The battery should be free if you are still under warranty and they even pay for shipping.
Has anybody experienced random shutdowns on their N4? It's happened twice now for me in the last few days. I'll go to turn on the screen and find that the phone is completely shut down and needs powered back up, without me having shut the phone down.
One strange thing associated with this is that it completely wipes my battery stats.
Please provide more information.
Stock? Unlocked? Rooted? Custom rom? Custome kernel? Undervolted?

Sorry, stock rooted. Both times happened when there was plenty of juice left in the battery, this morning when it happened I was still at 95%.

Are you sure it's actually shutting down?
The reason I ask is that there's an issue where the screen won't wake up, but the phone is still functional (can still hear notifications and feel vibrations etc.). It looks like it's shut down, but it actually isn't.
If so then I believe it's a known issue, even on the stock (unrooted) rom. It happens to me every now and then, and as far as I know it needs a hard reboot to fix (hold down the power button for 10 seconds).
Don't know what you mean by wiping your battery stats? A reboot would do that anyway, wouldn't it?

There's a video on youtube showing how this phone just shuts down after running a benchmark for long enough (that was about 10 minutes at normal room temperature..)
Could it be that your phone was doing something in the background, and because of the overheating issues that it has, it just shut down to prevent damage?

I wasn't doing anything significant right before hand. The last things I did were: checked Facebook, modified a Tasker profile, and swiped away a couple apps from the recent apps screen. Phone was cool to the touch. I was in the basement with no cell coverage (wifi connected), then moved upstairs and next time I tried to turn on the screen the phone was powered off.

No it was shut down, had to hold down the power button for 2 seconds to boot it, felt the boot vibration and saw the boot animation. This happened after being off charger for about 2 hours, but upon booting the battery screen showed on battery for 1 minute. Usually when I reboot the "on battery" time is preserved.

Is there a fix for the screen not waking? I'm still on 4.2(stock and rooted), does 4.2.1 fix it? I can't seem to update to 4.2.1, if it does fix it. But that's another issue...
Ya know I'm starting to think it may be my belt holster that's somehow shutting down the phone. This is the first day of my new holster and now the phone has shut itself down 3 times, each time I've noticed it after pulling it from the holster.

I only had N$ for 3 days.
Yesterday when I was taking a picture, camera app was running, while I was putting kids together phone screen went black. Only way to bring it back was to hold power button and it went through full boot up cycle, so I would say it did shut down on me.
Stock, no root, updated to the 4.2.1. Battery was between 50 and 75% and it did not wipe it's stats.

Oh man that's gotta suck. Worst moment possible. Mine has shut down as well several times.
I find that my phone likes to randomly reboot when using bluetooth. May be a coincidence or not. At times the widget toggle for bluetooth stops working too, so there's something going on with bluetooth. My bluetooth problems documented here:

Does anybody know a sequence of button pushes that will shut down the device? I know holding power for 10 seconds causes a reset, but is there a combination of button pushes that initiates shutdown?

If you hold just power button it should bring a popup with Power Off option, which is a standard for most Android phones.

I have the same issue recently. I've used nexus 4 for 1 month, this issue just occurred recently. it shutdown without any notice. I've drop my phone once, cracking its glass back, but it doesn't seem to relate to that issue. I guess maybe this is some software problem.
Here are the facts, short and simple:
Phone is rooted
Boot procedure is normal. For now, I think...
You can already feel the back and front upper areas becoming warm after 10 seconds when the power button was pressed
After booting, it takes 20-30 seconds once the phone becomes laggy of fully unresponsive and gets to a warmth of about 40° C (104° F)
Once in the "frozen" (no pun intended) state, the only way to interact with the phone is to take out the battery
All of this happened after downloading this app from the phone's Play Store.
I'm honestly scared to put the battery in just one more time as I feel it won't start anymore after doing so.
Any experience with this?
Alright, quick note to the case: CRISIS AVERTED
One or more out of 13 apps I uninstalled caused the problem. I doesn't overheat anymore, anyway.
