This is normal. Your phone is not updating its building app cache or something.
Search is your friend.

Question is though... Why is it always rebuilding?
Is it still completely stock from Day 1 of purchase?
Have you rooted it? If so, what method?
Have you installed any apps?
Have you tried doing a factory reset? (Ensure you back up your data)

The phone is purelly stock
I havent done nothing except using it and installing apps...the regular as an every day phone...i got since sunday
Should I factory reset?
Thanks

mine does it to. its normal

I can tell you its not normal for it to happen on every single boot! It's probably an app that is causing issues with the os. Try and remember what you recently installed and uninstall a couple apps to try and narrow it down. This happened to me when I installed Wallet.

mine has done it since i powered it on out of the box the very 1st time. so i'd say its normal

I wonder why its doing it then? If on my device it only does it when system files are being played with but on others on every boot?

Happens for me too, only noticed it since upgrading to 4.01 (stock)

Yes, it'll do that every time you restart the phone

Yes. This is normal. This is where Android's optimization occurs (now with handy "Optimizing <x> of <y>" count to let you know what's happening) instead of prolonging the boot video. If it doesn't need to do that it just skips straight to launching the launcher, I guess...
Noted from observation, not from source code
My Galaxy Nexus only started doing this after both selecting "Encrypt Phone" and replacing my recovery image with Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.5.
It should not be happening on every boot unless you are a chronic flasher.
Mine phone did that on 4.0.1. On 4.0.2 that is gone

I got the "Android is Upgrading" when I zip-aligned all of the apks on my phone for the first time in GummyNex. So far it's only done it once, maybe twice in the last few weeks.
i only notice this after a dalvik/cache wipe. Atleast thats the only time it does this running 4.0.3 on my sgs fascinate.
Mine does this on every reboot, but I'm still on 4.0.1 where, based on earlier posts, that sounds more normal...
Only displays for a couple of seconds and nothing bad seems to happen as a result!
Mine started doing this after installing Google Wallet with that first crazy workaround. I hated it and restored my nandroid backup then used the apk that came out later and haven't seen that screen since. It definitely isn't normal to have it happen every time, except maybe in 4.0.1 I guess...
I just got this on 4.0.3 after wiping cache. Does anyone know what is actually doing. Rebuilding the cache?

Bump. My VzW GNex is doing this every boot. This has got to be fixable. Has anyone actually determined what is happening here? VzW Galaxy Nexus w/stock Android 4.0.2, rooted.

Fix what? Nothing is broken. The phone is making new app caches. That's it. There is no problem and there is no fix because nothing is broken.
its normal with my htc hd2 and nexushd2 v1.1 by tytung? =/

Me three, I saw it on every bootup until I got 4.0.2, now I never see it.
However, my phone's uptime is currently at 7days 38 mins and not lagging or otherwise needing a reboot/battery pull as older versions of Android seemed to need every two or three days. Yay ICS!
"Android is upgrading" appears when the system is generating ODEX files (optimized DEX). This essentially uncompresses "classes.dex" from the APKs, verifies them, optimizes them for the host (byte order, class prunning, ...) and writes them out in the dalvik-cache directory.
Dexopt should be performed when installing applications by the package installer though and it does it upon boot only when there's no corresponding ODEX file already. It also does it upon system upgrade, because the dalvik version likely changed and ODEX files need to be redone for the new VM.
This is a poor choice of words. "Android is optimizing applications" would be less confusing.

[Q] My Galaxy Nexus keeps re-booting

I was running Paul's custom ROM for the past week or so. I plugged my phone in to a portable charger because the battery was low. This is not the first time I have used this charger on this phone. After a few minutes the phone rebooted. I found this odd so I tried to figure out what was going on. I unlocked the device and went into settings....phone rebooted again. I tried reflashing the MoDaCo ROM, reflashing the original ROM and resetting the device. It still does it. Im still new to Android platform (moving away from a shameful iPhone) so Im lost on what the problem could be. Any ideas?
did you undervolt and tick set on boot without testing voltages?

No. I didn't change any of that. My phone is unusable
I think one of my apps is causing it. Is that possible even though I'm not running the app?
I have no idea. I think youre leaving out something.

After i restore to factory everything works fine. It starts again (doesn't matter which ROM I'm using) when Google syncs the apps I've downloaded to the phone. It's stable right now until I figure out what the hell is going on.
I would say app but you said you wiped everything..

Right. It works fine until Google starts to sync my data from my account. Is there a way to pinpoint which app is causing the damage?
Nevermind. It does it anyway. Hardware issue? Overheating issue?

Dalvik Cache Wiped on every Boot? Android is Upgrading...

I've installed about 739MB of apps and flashed Google Wallet onto my Nexus, and every boot it goes through the processes of "Optimizing Applications" on each boot. I've heard this is the Nexus rebuilding the cache but why does it need to do it every time? Other ICS ROMs only report this on first boot or after wiping the Dalvik Cache. This happens only after I've flashed Google Wallet and a moderate helping of apps.
Is this just how it works?
No that shouldn't happen every time. Are you using a custom rom?
it happens to me. After update. And after unlocking bootloader. No custom rom.

I think I should roll back to yakjuxw, I was on stock yakju but with Google Wallet flashed on.

It's probably not liking Wallet. Am I right in thinking that it only really works on pauls custom rom?

Flashed Wallet and it does the optimization thing ever boot too.
Stock rom only rooted.
This happens to me every time i boot as well. It happened ever since i first got the phone. Before and after rooting. I have stock rom.
Removed wallet and now it boots much faster.

"Android is upgrading.." Happens to me on every boot. It's been like that since i got the phone brand new. Pure stock untouched/unrooted.

That's normal but not if its going through every app like mentioned in this thread.
Yeah a few seconds is fine, but mine was actually going through 40-60 apps, with a progress indicator (2 of 46)

[Q] No data after flash, or reboot

I am having a reoccurring problem. Sometimes, when I flash a new nightly, or even just reboot my phone, I get no data. Even when I turn on wifi, it connects but stays gray instead of turning blue or teal. Same thing for my 3G. I have full bars, but it stays gray. Best way I have been dealing with it if wiping cache and reloading the rom.
I have tried going in and out of airplane mode, rebooting the phone, letting it sit for hours. I would just like to know if I'm doing something wrong.
By the way I am running CM10.
All in all, it's a small price to pay to run such a slick rom. And now that I got dual boot all figured out......much easier to try things out.

Did you do a clean flash?
Did u use the sprint cm10?
Does this happen on tw ROMs?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Emperor using psycommu
I wiped everything except for data.
On sprint cm10
Does not do it on a tw ROM I have
So this is what you did
Was on random tw ROM>wiped cache and dalvic> flashed cm10
If so your only hope really is to wipe everything and reflasb

I finally figured it out. The problem seemed to be with my clock settings. I can replicate the problem by setting my clock ahead and reboot. Then I will not connect. I figured out it was a Google account sign in issue. If I then reset my clock to the correct time and reboot, no problems.
Just had a question about dual boot. Was it easy to setup? How hard is it to go back to single boot? I would imagine having two roms would take up a ton of space.

[Q] Verizon GNex Jellybean problems.

First off, I'm running the latest update from Verizon. 4.1.1. I received the update OTA. I am rooted and bootloader is unlocked.
Second, my problem so far is that I have noticed after I updated to JB my phone will randomly lock up when the screen goes to sleep while accessing Google search via the search bar and browsing results. A battery pull is required to get the Gnex up and running along with a long boot up time similar to that when first updating.
Is anyone else experiencing this or any other problems? Anyone have any fixes?
I'm running the leak and I've never experienced this issue, Surprised it's happening on the OTA stock
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Me too, especially since Verizon took so long to release it. Fortunately, those are my only problems.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OK its not just me. I am unlocked (by the way it unlocked on its own one morning on the way to work, weird.) No root though. And 10-20 times a day my phone will not turn on when I hit power button and then the boot up animation shows up. And takes forever as well. Its not just when I use Google search. Maybe I/we have an app not compatible with jelly bean or too many apps. Idk. But its frustrating because its always when I really need to use my phone. Do you guys have updated side loaded Google wallet app? Have you guys done a factory reset? Don't wanna reset if it won't fix the problem. Hope we get an update soon.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have not done a factory reset yet, but I will Saturday night since I'm off work Sunday and Monday and return results. I have no sideloaded apps other than flash player but removed it soon after the update despite no support for flash on JB.
