I want to ask if anybody has similar bugs to a non-rooted, locked, stock nexus 4 on 4.2.2 and would like to know on how to fix them. I have factory reset the phone and always seem to get the same results. I don't mind these little bugs, but they are making me want to root my phone.
1. While listening to Google music, I would try to unlock my phone and Google music screen widget would flicker and shake and make unlocking difficult I provided the picture on the attachment.
2. Another bug while still listening to Google music; it would dim more than normally it would in a shorter amount of time on lock screen.
3. Almost every time I open YouTube, the YouTube window animation flickers.
4. Battery drops 2-5% when the phone is rebooted.
5. Phone battery % drops after being fully charged and unplugged.

4 and 5 are caused by a slightly wrong calibrated battery if you reset the calibration files (here is a tut somewhere) or just do only full cycles for a few weeks this shouldn't be a problem because it is just a displayed drop I think I'm rooted and don't listen much to Google music so no comment to 1 and 2.
3 isn't known to me.
Just a quick answer haha

Thank you, I'm going to look on how to properly calibrate the battery. These little bugs can get frustrating at times.

Don't know about 1 and 2.
3) The youtube app is a buggy piece of sh*t, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.
4) The battery percentage drop on rebooting has occured on every ROM I tried so far, so I don't really care. Well, maybe not 5%, but 1-2% is normal for me.
5) Happens to me occasionally, I don't really mind if it drops to 99% straight away, it's only correct. 100% would mean that your battery is perfectly fully charged. When you unplug it, some tiny (seriously) amount of power is being used due to the fact that your screen turns on, right?
Try cleaning the app data and cache for Play Music and Youtube (settings > apps) and see if it gives any result.
Thank you for helping. I forgot to mention another bug that is probably the worst. When receiving a phone call, I pick up the phone and the screen turns off. I try to turn the screen on and it doesn't respond. This bug has made me miss calls various times.

Mh well your on/off presses sometimes interfere with the proximity sensor on your phone this "issue" sometimes causes wild screen on/off during call because I click the button but the screen was already turning on because I no more held it next to my ear so it turns off again so I click again to turn on but hold the phone to my ear shortly to check whether the other person is still in call so proximity sensor reacts.... Repeat n-times. But that doesn't sound like your problem. Could you describe it more specific?

When receiving a phone call, I pick it up the phone and the screen turns off and doesn't respond to the power button. I have to tilt the phone until it turns on and until I get a chance to answer the call. Proximity sensor/s does sound to be the cause of this. Any way to fix this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Phew I don't think so... But changing habits... I'm working on a solution for my random clicking but I think the only way to solve that is to give the phone more time to react before pressing power button because it'll turn screen on/off as you would like it to but it needs a short period of time for that

Hopefully Android 4.3 fixes some of these bugs. The Nexus 4 Lg adapter was garbage, I dropped it once and after that it stopped working.

They said to clear cache/data & uninstall updates. Then update.
It did not work. I told them & they said they will Look into fixing this issue in a update later on.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yeah, uninstalling and updating apps doesn't work. I've been doing that since the longest and no fix. Factory resetting or even flashing stock doesn't seem to fix these bugs either. Hopefully later on they find a solution. I didn't mind these bugs at first, but after a while, it got frustrating.

1. While listening to Google music, I would try to unlock my phone and Google music screen widget would flicker and shake and make unlocking difficult I provided the picture on the attachment. Don't use the lockescreen and/or the music app. Google play music works fine on my end.
2. Another bug while still listening to Google music; it would dim more than normally it would in a shorter amount of time on lock screen.
Don't notice this because I always sleep the phone manually after choosing music.
3. Almost every time I open YouTube, the YouTube window animation flickers.
Never have experienced this.
4. Battery drops 2-5% when the phone is rebooted.
This can happen, yes. Stop rebooting so much.
5. Phone battery % drops after being fully charged and unplugged.
This happens about 95% of the time. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for your reply. For the Google Music apk, I don't use any lock screen widget. When I listen to the music and try to unlock it, that's when it gets buggy. Either the widget shakes or the screen dims more than normally it would. I only reboot I once a day every morning in order to reduce lag and refresh the system.
I guess I don't know what you mean with the music app. What Rom are you on?
Sent from my Nexus 4
I'm on stock rom, unrooted and locked. I was on cyanognemod, unofficial miui, and decided to go back to stock. I have enjoyed stock until bugs started happening. When I listen to Google Play Music; there are times when I turn my phone on and try to unlock the screen, the Google Music widget shakes and makes it difficult to unlock.
Found another bug. Not annoying but its just there. When applying a stock wallpaper and you immediately scroll left or right, you get this result.

May be it's just the universe trolling you saying "one does not simply not root a nexus".
Yes most of the bugs you mentioned are present and they are fixed in most of the custom ROMs.

Just what the title says. I'm getting no sound at all. I've messed with every volume control and am stumped.

Working now. Weird! I may have a lemon with the sound.
Of course the sound has to stop working when I'm showing a fanboy how awesome it is and how much better it is then the iPad.

I'm having the same issue.
I'm using it with no issues for a while then no sound... rebooting it doesn't help.
I can plug in a head set but no speaker at all.
Sometimes emails notifications come through but that's about it.
Been on the phone waiting for google support now. Been waiting for about 30 minutes now...
This SUCKS!

Had the same problem within five hours of having it. Sound went out playing Final fantasy III. Did a factory reset, nothing. Was on hold with google play for 45 min before I gave up. Sound started working again for a while, cut out again when playing FFIII again. Would say it is the game but the factory reset didn't fix it. Sound came back on during the night while I slept, has stayed on since. Waiting to see how it goes and to find out if it is a software issue before I try to RMA it. Did sent google an email though.
I did a hard reset (held the power button down for 10 seconds) and its been fine since.

Problem is back.
It makes a sound like a record scratching then no sound. If you tap the back of the tab it tries to make sounds but fails. Must be a hardware issue.

Has anyone gotten this problem? Sometimes, when I try to unlock my Nexus 7, it doesn't actually unlock and turns off the screen. This happens several times before it finally does unlock. (Sometimes you have to activate Google Now before it will unlock) I would like to report this to Google but I am unsure how to do that by email. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem too. Thanks!
Surely someone must have had this problem too.

I've noticed it especially with skpye, but it has happened with stock apps like chrome and gmail too.

I had the same issue. Let me guess...you have a folio case with the magnetic smart cover feature?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
No problem here...
I also at times have problems with the unlock screen.
The lock screen at times is just in a frozen state.
To fix I press the power button to turn of the screen and hit it again to turn back on the screen.
The lock screen then functions as usual.
Note: This happens even when I have no apps open.
Well as it turns out, a lot of the folio cases with the sleep/wake function use magnets that are too powerful. When the case is folded all the way back, the magnet is activating the sleep function. I almost sent my tablet in for RMA but then I realized it was the case. If it happens again, just let the flap hang and you should be able to unlock your device hope I helped.

I do not have the smart case and I have a frozen lock screen issue.
LCD often has wake up lag.

I have a folio case. Never thought that could be the issue. I'll try letting it hang freely from now on. Could someone tell Google about this so they can release an update to fix it? (since people without the case are having the same issue)
Is it just me? Or is anyone else having problems with music controls on the new lock screen in 4.2. when I resume a song from play music in the lock screen the the camera gets mixed in with the lock screen and the volume goes to maximum for a second then returns to normal. Its done it a few times now.

I had this happen just a little bit ago at the gym. It almost seemed like it locked up. I was able to launch Google now and get to the main screen though. Hopefully they add an on/off button for the lock screen widgets, I won't ever use them so it would be nice to disable them.

Disable Lock Screen Camera and Widgets
Found an article by Droid Life about Lockscreen Policy, an app created by Chislon Chow.
Been using it for a couple days. It is free and seems to work perfectly fine. Did not even need root privilege. The effect is not "permanent" in that if you disable/freeze or uninstall it, the widgets come right back, and you'll have to reboot before they can be removed again.
Hello!
Just got my Nexus 4 and I am loving it. But my Lockscreen sometimes freezes when I hit the power on button, or it is at least unresponsive. I have to turn off the screen and turn it on again to unlock. This happens everytime the phone has been locked for a while.
Any fix for this issue or should I get my phone replaced? Seems software related

I have the same issue and wants to know the reason.
I have the same problem, and I think i have found a way to replicate the issue.
1. Turn off the screen.
2. Wait around 5 seconds.
3. Put three fingers on the screen at the same time.
4. And immediately without moving the fingers turn on the screen.
At this time the touchscreen doesn't respond or it has some kind of lag and you have to reunlock the screen to make it work again.
Can anyone test this?
Sorry for my english.

I can reproduce using this method. It's very annoying when it happens in the wild though, I was unable to unlock at all the other day, had to power off and on the device. Also wasn't able to answer a call !!!

So is this a software or hardware issue?
Hi,
I seem to have the same issue. It renders my phone useless. While trying to figure out what exactly is affecting it. I found if i enable under developer option >> input >> show touches the next time this issue happens i can see that the phone screen is constantly being touched (w/o having any finger on screen).
I am also awaiting any solution for this issue.
Let's just hope that this can be corrected with software.

I was on my way home when my battery die. When I got home, I put on the charger and turn my Nexus 4 back on. When I used it, I realized that the sound is not working for music, games, notification, etc. I can still hear the beeping sound when I press the volume-down button though.
I didn't press anything, and I have checked my volume setting - nothing seems wrong.
I'm running the newest version of Paranoid Android on my phone.
Since I am a total noob compared to most of you, any kind of help would be soooo useful!
Thank you so much
Last time this happened to a friend, a reboot fixed the issue. Try that —if that doesn't work, report back!
