[Q] Nexus 4 battery woes topic

Hey guys

I just had my digitizer and LCD replaced. My battery appeared to be damaged when I ripped it out, and the back cover was cracked extensively from the drop.

I got the phone back from the repairer with just a new screen/lcd in it, who said he had troubles powering it on. I got it home and charged it for half an hour and it would get to the google circles spinning and it would cut out and go back to the charging screen.

I ordered a new battery and installed it this afternoon, about an hour or so ago.


When I plug the phone in to the power, the light flashes orange for less than a second and it stops. No buttons are responsive.
If I hold down the vol-down button and insert the micro usb, it goes to the bootloader menu and stays there. If I select start it shows the 'Google' screen then cuts out and the light flashes orange once. If I hold vol-up when inserting, it shows the battery charging icon for a few minutes and then cuts out, and when it does the light flashes orange once.

I've left it sitting for about half an hour now and it's still not responsive.

Anyone have any ideas whats going on before I put the original battery back in?

bam_dmux_wakelock Woes topic

Hi everyone. So I've scoured the web high and low for some help on this topic, and so far I've gotten some scattered information, but not a lot of concrete solutions.

I'm having bad idle battery drain problems on my un-rooted, stock Verizon N9000V (MJE). Using BetterBatteryStats I've singled out bam_dmux_wakelock as the culprit. From what I've been able to find online, I guess this is a kernel level wakelock caused by something accessing cellular (not-wifi) data when the phone is asleep. I've pulled my hair out individually un-installing apps one at a time to see if I can pinpoint the culprit. I've also factory reset the phone and started from scratch, adding my apps one at a time, but due to the intermittent nature of this wakelock (it is not always present) I've had a whole bunch of false positives, thinking I'm safe only to have it pop up again the next day.

At it's worst, this wakelock is keeping my phone out of deep sleep around 50-75% of total battery time.

I do know that a thread exists on this topic over on the GSIII board, and I'm not trying to duplicate threads. I'm really just wondering whether any Note 3 users have experienced this patricular wakelock, and maybe what you've done to combat it on this particular phone. I've already tried some of the things others have suggested from other phones (disable Google+, disable Hangouts etc.) I'm really at my wit's end.

Thanks for your time and I appreciate any input.
