GNex/ "Mind of its own" Bugging issue?

If he factory resets the problem might go away, but it'll eventually rear its ugly head again. trust me.

Okay. Thanks guys. I will be heading to best buy on sunday (my day off) and I will swap it out for a new one.

No point in worrying about it down the road.

When I got this phone from BestBuy I noticed some issues while starting the phone (logging into google,etc). It was like the phone had a mind of its own, random buttons were being pushed by themselves, the screen was unresponsive at times. I showed the sales rep, she told me that the issues should resolve as I get the update and reboot phone, but if the issue persists just bring the phone back and they will replace it with a brand new one.

I was in a hurry (like they were) because it was Christmas eve, and had to go meet up with family. So I thought I would play with the phone, see if the issues are resolved, and if not, just bring it back in a few days.

So, once I was home, after meeting family etc, and had some time to play with my new phone, i started trying to solve the issue. I found that all of my apps from my "rooted and romd" bionic came through with google stuff. THis included Superuser, and some others. I proceded to uninstall all the extra apps thinking that these are part of the reason. This wasn't easy because the phone was going into menus and buttons appeared to be selected on their own, so I was rebooting the phone during this process and it gave me a window of opportunity before the bugging started. I also did the Software Update at this time.

After I removed all the "stuff" i didn't need. I rebooted and the phone seemed to be fine. In fact it had been fine for a few days, then all of a sudden it started happening again yesterday. I pulled the battery and everything booted up fine with out an issue. Since that one time it re=occured, I haven't seen the issue at all.

Now my thoughts are the phone has an inherent issue and will need to be returned soon while i can get a replacement. So i have avoided rooting, unlocking , etc.

My question: Have you guys heard of these issues with NExus. Am I in the clear? Would the superuser etc affect the phone this way? I would like to keep it and not mess with taking it back, but part of me feels like i got a lemon and need to replace it.


What do you guys think? ... Sorry for the novel ... Thanks.

been the case with my last 3 android phones. welcome to android.

QUESTION:

Is there a way to save all of my apps, screen setups, settings etc.... so that when i go and switch my Nexus for my new Nexus, things can be as seemless as possible???

I know my google stuff will come through smoothly. I have used titaniam backup before on rooted phones. but i have not rooted this one.

Thanks.

Well, today was the worst day with this bugging issue. The screen becomes unresponsive to touch, cannot shut down, the phone spazzes and pushes its own buttons. It called my Mother In Law twice. .... I will be going to Best Buy tomorrow to exchange for a new GNex. Hopefully they are open, hopefully the next one doesn't have issues, and Hopefully they aren't out of stock now.

Frustrated to say the least. Especially since best buy is not in my town but a city over. Maybe someone will someday learn from my experience.

Thanks for your feedback.

Solved!

Did the replacement today. My new replacement is feeling much more smooth. ..... I might even be feeling frisky enough to do a little rooting and roming tonight.


Oh yeah.... Go Ducks!

Root and rom is a given. Hope you enjoy your new phone.
