Nexus 4, KitKat 4.4.2: 100% CPU - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Sometimes, out of nothing, my Nexus 4 heats and the 2nd core locks down at 100%. The temperatures raises to more than 34 (battery) and 48 (cpu) Celusius.
I tried to kill every application and service, one by one, but none of them changed anything. The only solution is reboot.
Anyone knows what's happening?
Thanks.
Regards.

1.What are those app icons in the status bar?
2. Is this stock?
3. Did you try factory reset?

AirDroid is not the culprit. It was started just to take the screenshot (my skills to press power and volume down buttons are compromised... )
Yes, I'm using stock KitKat 4.2.2.
The last reset was when I installed KitKat...

Why don't you do volume+down for screenshot, android has it built in...And is your phone rooted? If it is can you try greenify then see if CPU usage drops?

And can you upload a picture of running services?

Yes, my phone is rooted. What is "greenify"?

Greenify is an app and is mainly used for maintaining a good battery life. U can find it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. But I still would like to know which app is causing this...
And (weird), why only the 2nd core? It seems like a very specific bug.

Sure.

Even after killing all apps/services with SystemPanel the 2nd core is still at 100% and the CPU is at more than 54 Celsius...
I'll need to reboot.

@Ace42 do you using cm11 or trebuchet apk like stand alone laucher? If yes from where you grabed it? Thnx
Sent from my Nexus 4

I assume it's the 4.2.2 camera bug that was in the news this week.
I have seen it many times on my Nexus 7.

I've finally found out what's causing the problem. It's AdAway.
When it can't download the hosts' file updating, it locks down one core and that's causes the cpu heating.
There is a bug (#476) about this problem.
Thank you everyone who tried to help me.
Regards.

It could be for a number of reasons. For one, is 3g on a lot? Do you game? Read Twitter, Facebook or Google+? Live WP, ect. We need more details please.

I agree with kilometers4. Better battery stats & cpu spy work well. I also suggest you download a battery calibration app. When I updated to Jelly Bean on my S3, the battery life sucked. But once I calibrated for a few cycles, it's great now. Same for my Nexus 7.
try switching to official CM10.1. Im getting 9hrs screen on time with it

I'm gonna hafta concur with this guy. However, I was having the same problem.
I used my keyboard to type into the search bar "bad battery life",
I looked at some similar titled threads and decided to look through this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783390&page=3&highlight=nexus+7+not+charging
I followed the directions.
I did profit.
Next time use the search bar, and don't get butthurt when someone teases you a little. It's called the internet get used to it. And your a senior member you should know that.
When my nexus was brand new, i also had a few battery issues. But got it fixed after fully discharging the device a few times. Make sure it charges to 100% inbetween.

I find it kinda strange you only getting 3 hours out of it. On my Nexus 7 I can get little over 24 hours on a full charge. That's with basic web surfing, xda app, twitter and few YouTube videos.
Course if I do something more demanding like playing games I get less runtime on the battery.

i got the 16gb att version....it lags when on energy saver mode besides that its ok. The thing that upset me is half the storage is already used with all the stuff on the phone. It cam with about 8gb free. I am still playing around with it, the battery seems to drain quick but that's normal for a new cell out the box.

i do know it, i have been investigating about it without much success.
Mainly i can make it dissapear for half day if i use WIFI, once wifi is enabled the wake lock dissapears when i stop using wifi or do an experiment with it.
but somehow the error comes back once in a while, after a reboot, or after charging it.
no kernel fix it, no Rom fix it, im putting my hopes on CM

i removed fast dormancy and ril-fd is no more (im on crash rom atm where i found a cooked setting to turn off FD).
so this might be related to fast dormancy, i dont want to root this phone yet for certain reasons so i might try switching carriers, maybe it'll help

there are pre-rooted stock roms which are not supposed to increase the flash counter.
And i confirmed it, i toggled FD and the wakelockappeared, changed roms and tried that again, and the WL dissapeared.
But still my battery life sucks though, getting a honami when its out.

honami is the code name for the i1(naming confirmation pending from sony, will be disclosed at IFA or so we hope).
after A LOT of hate which went throught the phone, i updated the arrow rom to 5.1, deactivated FD, and nothing,i was getting 10% in 3 hours, for some reason i dont remember i rebooted the phone, and the darn phone still have the same charge from yesterday te phone have 24 hours of uptime (taking in account i have done some serious undervolt to the phone). i was getting about an hour per % an a half with hangouts and whatsapp freezed and in NO use or just checking the bat.
Not bad but too much work to have a "regulary updated" phone to work properly.
now i dont even know what will happen when i recharge the phone again what kind of behaivor will have this darn non-optimized phone I'll be reporting what happens.

I think that's the radio, and it might just be there because it has to be. Might also be other apps causing the radio to be active constantly, though.
Although I don't actually know anything about this (besides that RIL stands for Radio Interface Layer), so I'm probably wrong.
I'm having the same issue, and still can't figure out what's causing it. If you figured it out please report back.

Thats really weird, have you modified the kernel at all? you should try to reinstall the rom fresh.
Nothing modified or tweaking at all, Just complete stock kernel coming from Hyperdrive ROM and I still getting excellent battery life. Weird

Use a battery calibrate app as well. When you flash a new ROM its essential you wipe out previous battery stats.

4.4.4 has really hurt my battery. I thought it was the battery, so I replaced with an OEM. Still drained, so I did factory reset, same problem, went with CM11 and it still drains fast. It even drains when the phone is powered off. I can charge to 100 and then power down the phone and 24 hours later power on and the battery is around 60%.
