Strange crashes - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've had a couple of weird crashes in the last few days. I'm on Verizon GN.
First, the buttons on the bottom of the screen disappeared. I could actually still touch them but the visuals didn't show. Then recently trying to unlock, the screen didn't respond to the touches. Had to pull battery and restart. Finally. This morning I went to check email and the phone dialed a * something number.I was able to hang up before it connected but it was weird.
Any thoughts suggestions? I'm on the stock rom.

sounds like you have a lemon. I'd call vzw to talk warranty.

Thanks Keith,
I've only had the phone a couple of weeks. I'll talk to them.

Odd go SMS behavior on nexus

So I noticed a few times on go SMS, typing us so so laggy. Then noticed for two of my contacts, in conversation mode.....it is snowing in the background! Like a live wallpaper. Thus is causing the lag.
Cannot figure out why it only snows for a few contacts. I'm sure its something dumb.

This happened to me today, did the messages have happy new year in them?

I also notice that any message I received that says Happy New Years starts to show snowflakes falling

Yes!
And I couldn't type in those. Was laggy. I don't like that the program is able to do stuff like that. I use this for work! Lol

Laggy accelerometer?

Sometimes my screen rotate when in browser or an app that supports rotation the accelerometer lags behind a bit
Anyone else had this ?

It has to do with the animation speed mostly. You can adjust that in developer options.
I have them all off.

I'm pretty surprised to see people saying that they have not experienced it. It's one of the worst bugs with the phone and lots of people are experiencing it:

I'm on 4.0.3. Maybe that is why.
yeah I know that problem. experienced it mainly allot in the browser

If you need to tap the phone to get the accelerometer to work, then it's probably faulty and you should ask fro an exchange/repair.
But if you are just experiencing a small delay, that's apparently a feature in ICS to prevent accidental rotation. At first I found it incredibly annoying but it actually works in preventing unwanted rotations.
Galaxy Nexus CDMA stock 4.02 here. It has definitely been a problem for me. It takes a good 2+3 full seconds to rotate for me. Lucky for me i spend 90% of my time in portrait.
VZW GN and yeah I got the same thing. Its really annoying but I cant tell if its more or less annoying than having the screen accidentally rotate...
Either way this should be something we can control in the developer options, like give us a time delay before screen will rotate.

Galaxy nexus keyboard

Hey guys, my galaxy nexus seems to have a small technical issue. Whenever I use the keyboard and press the home soft key, the keyboard remains on the screen for a couple of seconds.
I am running the AOKP Milestone 3 from with the apex kernel (happened with other kernels as well)
I have a screenshot but it refuses to let me upload, but if anyone wants to know what it looks like please let me know.

They all do this. Only thing to do is just deal with it unfortunately.

well thats sucks. Thanks for replying, but if anybody else has any other information it is greatly appreciated
Its about 0.5 seconds before it retracts. Someone posted a video already. Didnt bother me at all though its so brief...
Unfortunately it's just how it is. I definitely share your frustration though, I usually lower the keyboard prior to closing whatever app is using it to avoid this. It's not just stock keyboard either, Swype does it as well.

Its really annoying. Although it is nothing that makes me angry, its just a bother...
It stays up just a touch longer than the closing of the app using it. I'd say < .5 seconds. If its up any longer then that's not normal.

Screen blackout during calls

I have a nexus strait from the play store 3 weeks ago. Notice that during some calls I get the screen going black until the call ends. Running on stock jb flashed through update link. Any ideas what's wrong? Calls work most of the time with screen on and sometimes it blacks out.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you say you flashed through a link do you mean you flashed a rom through recovery?
Through cwm. The screen sometimes goes black during a call and sometimes flashes black then I unlock and flashes black again

Phone vibrates and won't boot

So I was listening to music on my phone with slim bean and it fell behind the bed and when I found it all it does is say Samsung and vibrate in a consistent pattern. Also if I remove the battery and put it back in it vibrates as soon as battery/charger is connected. Does this mean it somehow got in bootloader mode? If so is their a way to get it out without my PC? I tried getting into twrp but. No avail.

These is a similar thread floating around here where people have had this issue when using Pandora. See if you can search for it.

Thank you, I fell into a noob panic. Thanks for calming me down lol. Looks like I may have a power button issue on my hands
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
No problem. I knew there was something on it but didn't know the details. People have also had a similar problem with Pandora. Don't know if that's what you were listening to, but there seems there's a problem with Pandora and the latest roms.

I was listening to music from my SD card. I got it to boot
But I didn't have the similar in and when I rebooted it it did the same thing. Also got it to load the tarp splash and it rebooted then and I can see the screen flicker like it was booting and the power button was pressed. Looks like I'm going to have to send it off. Hope I can get it replaced for free if not I'm gonna look at a different phone.
