[Q] Anyone having freezing issues on the lock screen?

My device constantly freezes when I try to unlock it. The lock screen comes up when I push the power button and it's randomly completely non-responsive. I will lock the screen again with the power button and repeat the process and it will then work.
Anyone else having this problem on their Nexus 4?
I've tried disabling lock screen widgets with no help. All I am left to wonder is whether it's from an application I've installed.
If I want to completely reset the phone and remove any fragments of old applications, is doing a factory reset enough to get this done?

How often on stock 4.2 did you have the freezing?

I had random reboots from lock screen. I wiped and flashed the factory image. I haven't had the issue in the last 3 days.

I spoke too soon. My phone just locked up while in a deep sleep overnight. I had to Power + vol down to restart it.

+1 . Mine generally freezes overnight. When I got to unlock my nexus 4 to check the time I find the phone frozen on the lock screen then the phone reboots itself. I did a factory restore, did a factory re-flash, and nothing seems to help. Today I shut off google now to see if that was the issue. Reading through various threads it seems the problem is widespread and across multiple nexus devices including the nexus 7 and galaxy nexus. This gives me some faith that the phone itself maybe fine. Google please fix ASAP. I need my alarm in the morning, not a frozen phone. :crying:

Just to add, I did a bug report and called tech support. Nothing I mentioned seemed like news to my tech nor did he have any recommendation other then to RMA. I told him I would give the phone another week to see if anything improves its stability. I still have my Gnex as a backup. I have not noticed any issues with 4.2 on my Gnex but then again it's been in my backpack since my nexus 4 arrived. Perhaps I will leave my Gnex on as we'll to see if I run into any issues with it.

Lock screen freezes once or twice every day, the fix is easy, just press the sleep button again, but its still annoying. 4.2 has pretty bad quality control.

i had the same issue on my old N4. Especially when i got incoming call, lock screen freezes all the time
I will get replacement tho..

I had the same issue. Seemed to be related coming out of the lockscreen after having done some BT music playback. Anyway, I had this "lockscreen widget disable" app installed. Removed it again, and now I have not had any lockups in the last 3 days.

I'm glad to know I'm not alone here. I did a full reset and I still have the problem. I get a lock 4-5 times a day.
I do use bluetooth and google music...
Knowing other people are having this issue really makes me think it's software and not hardware.

i notice that when mine freezes on the lock screen, [i use a pattern], that pressing the power button to turn the screen off then back on solves the problem.

This is the only disappointment for me, having to press the power button a few times in order to unlock this damn phone.
Power to turn screen on, frozen touch, power to turn screen off, power to turn it on again and the it registered touch.
I am surprise not many have this problem.
A friend of mine ordered at the same time as I did, and does not have this problem.
Feels so stupid having to turn the screen on and off a couple of times to get into the homescreen.
Especially when friends asked to play with the phone and the damn thing wont unlock, and I have to explain to them the process of unlocking the phone.
I want to rma, but shoot, might not get a replacement till next year.

RMA won't help a software defect, which it is 100%, it's freaking annoying and makes me think google literally makes the phones and never uses it to see if it has any bugs.

Same problem here. So it is hardware related?!

Any updates on this issue? My lock screen still freezes.

Never had one, probably a rogue app.

You might have 3rd party application on the lock screen that does this?

I think I've had it happen 2 or 3 times so far. I don't think it's hardware related, it seems to be software to me.
I figured out the first time it happened, if I grab and slide up to launch Google Now, it lets me unlock it. So it definitely isn't hardware, as it is registering touches.

Camera forces screen to turn off

Dear All,
I tried searching for this topic but no results. My experience with the N4 on the 5th day gave me this glitch.
1. I go to take a photo with the camera on the N4.
2. I'm about to take the photo the screen goes blank. I turn it on again.
3. It truns the screen off immediately.
4. I exit the camera and go to my home screen and it turns the screen off again.
5. I turn it on again and it immediately shuts the screen off.
I re-booted my phone and it is ok till I turn the camera on again. I switch to landscape mode from portait and it shuts closes my screen.
Could this be a problem with the sensors. Please comment if you have any clues to any of the mentioned problems. I got the phone from a brick and mortor store and not Google Play Store.
Thanks.

Dear All,
Never happened to me... I got mine from an O2 shop.
What Hw rev are you on?
To see it switch off the phone, then hold the vol down button and turn it on.
You ll see the bootloader screen coming up, in there you can see the HW_rev, mine is 11 which should be the latest as per today.

AW: Camera forces screen to turn off
I would suggest doing a factory reset. If that doesn't help, please there's a thread called "[battery improvement] works have the time all the time" explaining how to re flash the whole Rom.
try that too.
report if it helps

abufaka,
All is well now after the factory reset. it cleared all apps and saved items to start over again. The phone is very stable now and the camera functions perfectly.
Thanks again.:victory:

I have galaxy s4 i9500.
I have rooted it yesterday and again flashed the stock rom again.
Now my phones screen flashes randomly, while playing landscape games(mostly 3d games are available in landscape mode only) it automatically turns portrait for a fraction a second.
Even someone calls me, the answer and end keys goes in the top portion of the screen just like a s view cover though i am not using it.
Has anyone observed such issue and what is the solution for it coz i have rooted it again but the issue is still there cant rectify it.....

[Q] Galaxy s4 screen turned white

I was using my Galaxy S4 and suddenly the screen turned green then turned white.
I had to take off the battery and then re put it. I tried to turn on my phone but it wouldn't turn on.
after a couple of minutes I tried again and it turned on and worked normally.
What was that for and what is the problem?

Buggy app?

I don't know, I haven't downloaded any new apps that could cause this to happen.
It was working perfectly before.

Well a crashed background process
Or any random crashing can cause something like this to happen.
Dont worry. If the phone is working fine now, just use it.

You can try but i don't think it's gonna work. As you describe it it reminds me of the sony xperia ray st18i i once had. It had the same problem. I had to cool it down in order to work. Try playing a game or 2 with battery mode to normal to see if you reproduce the problem. Also if the problem occurs call your phone to see if it's still on
And try these steps http://recomhub.com/blog/how-to-fix-huawei-p9-black-screen/

When black screen occures, phone is on, but it does not ring. Black screen comes when long time 1h or 2 phone is on idle and unlock - it turns on display and freezes . It makes that randomly... .

so the background lights up but nothing shows?
i think that the best thing you could do is ask huawei themself what the problem is.
(don't tell them you've got root and stuff like that.)
also try to upload screenshots from your developer settings in here.
