I've noticed my nexus 4 completely locking up during chromecast control being active. It especially likes to happen after locking the screen. I'm on 4.3. Anyone else having this issue? It never locked up before and doesn't seem to unless I'm actively controlling my chromecast.

I am having the same issue. When I am Chromecasting, the phone will not wake and I have to hold power to reset, luckily this does not affect the stream. I also flashed 4.3 and did not wait for the OTA.

PS. I picked mine up from Best Buy also. I had to call around and find one that just had it delivered as they are going FAST. I know that a few of the other Best Buy's around me are getting a few shipments in over the weekend.

I flashed mine but I used the factory image, there shouldn't be any difference between the factory image and the ota..... Right?

Dunno, it seems everyone having issues flashed 4.3, but I have yet to see a post from someone with an OTA update.

4.3 is supposed to have new DRM in it. Perhaps it doesn't get along well with root.

I do not think that it has anything to do with root. I sideloaded with locked bootloader and not rooted and am currently not rooted. But then again I could have messed up somewhere.

So..... Is any one not having this issue on 4.3 or is it just us that are the lucky ones?

I had a quick flick through of the nexus 7 forums didn't see any issues there yet

I'm having the same issue with Netflix and YouTube on my Nexus 4 (haven't tried Google Music). I'm non-rooted, completely stock 4.3. I got my update OTA.

My wife's Nexus 7 (stock, unrooted 4.3 via/ OTA) has no issues.
