[Q] nexus 4 shut itself off on full battery???

[match417]

First of all, I'm running cyanogenmod version 10.1.0-RC2-mako on my Nexus 4 and the only app that I have on it with root privileges is AFWall+. I'm very careful about what I install on it from the android market, I don't have many apps on it anyway. I do have a call recorder app that runs while I am on the phone with someone (Auto Call Recorder). Basically what happened was, I got off the phone with my boss, and set my phone down. Then about 5 minutes later I picked it up and turned it on only to find out that it wasn't on. I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't do anything. Battery was more than 90% full. I plugged it in to my charger and tried to turn it on, it still wouldn't do anything. After about a minute the "battery charging" icon on the LCD appeared saying the battery was nearly full and at that point I was able to unplug the phone and turn it on. I only had it plugged in for about 2 minutes tops. It came on as it normally does after I unplugged it and turned it on.

My first thought was that it was a problem caused by the call recorder app, but I haven't had any problems with this app before (I've only been using the app for two weeks though). But if it was the call recorder app causing the problem, the phone would still have turned back on after I tried to turn it on, right? Also, how is it that the phone came on after I plugged it in to charge it and then unplugged it?

Has anyone seen similar problems with this? Should I change out ROMs? Delete the call recorder app? I glad I was able to get it back on, but I didn't like how there wasn't a reset button on it like I had on my HD2, Sensation, and other phones.

The app may not be compatible with android 4.2.2. The reboot can be done by holding the powerbutton for more than 10 seconds. There is also a safe mode https://support.google.com/nexus/4/answer/2852139?hl=nl to be able to boot without 3rd party apps.

Thank you! ( I also clicked your "thanks" button). I can't say my question was completely answered, but it was definitely helpful. I didn't know there was a safe mode, very handy indeed! I don't believe any of my other phones have had a safe mode. I have seen other little problems with the app, like only recording my voice and not the other end, but no problems have shut off the phone before. I will check up on the app to see if it is compatible with 4.2.2 and also if it is on auto-update and if it updated itself recently. And I don't think I held the power button after the phone call, if I did it would have rebooted, unless somehow my protector case held the power button when the call ended and caused a glitch in the software since it couldn't store the recorded call.

thanks again! But the problem I was talking about was with the internal mic on the Nexus 4. Sometimes it doesn't pick up the other end of the conversation but it records me fine. I don't use any external mics or bluetooths with it. The app seems pretty solid, both my voice and the other persons voice are pretty close in volume, which has been an issue with recorder apps that I have used in the past. Thanks though. Is there an application error log in the android or 3rd party software for an error log to help determine the cause of problems?

You can only make logs if you are rooted. There are several apps in Play available for that.
