Hi, I recently bought Unlocked GSM galaxy nexus. I installed all basic apps like facebook, kindle, and few games. The problem started after 1st day, the phone reboots while watching youtube video or any touch intensive application without warning! One pattern I saw that application freezes for a while than phone restarts. First I thought that problem might be due to ROM, so i unlocked-rooted the phone and installed Sanfransisco ROM (4.0.3) and there I experienced same problem!
Yestrday I reverted my phone to stock, and the problem hasn't repeated as I haven't installed any 3rd party app. but yesterday night i installed kindle and today in the morning when i started my phone from standby, I was greeted by a black screen then startup animation! but strangely when i checked the up-time of the phone, it hadn't restarted. It was showing same 30+ hours up-time. So was this some kind of soft-boot? also to cross-check i manually restarted the phone and up-time reset to 0.
Please help me with this issue! is there a fix? please don't tell me to replace the device as i have brought it from abroad as the phone hasnt officially launched in my country. There is a similar thread in google with 100s of people having same problem, so i think this is a software bug. what do you people think?
here is the link to that thread:
http://www.google.co.in/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=4a51e070d7b1f856&hl=en&start=40
PS: My phone doesn't get stuck in boot loops! there is also no issue with wi-fi, and the frequency of reboot varies from 1-3 i a day depending on usage. With stock ROM the phone has rebooted only once
(in 40+ hours) with uptime unchanged as i discussed earlier.
Bumping the thread. So many views, not a single reply! This is a serious problem for me.
Guess it's the same problem as mentioned here:

I've got a Verizon G'NEX and I flashed DroidViscious's 4.1.1v1 rom with Franco's kernel about a month ago and everything was smooth sailing up until last week. I've been experiencing random instances of my screen freezing for about 10 seconds followed by my device rebooting. Upon startup right after a reboot I can enter my pattern lock and then it freezes immediately after and reboots (I can tell it's responsive during the unlocking of the pattern because of the haptic feedback). This will happen several times before I'm able to get back to the homescreen without it freezing.
I thought there was a problem with the rom since it was an older build Jelly Bean so I wiped the device and flashed the latest build of Pete's BuglessBeast using his default kernel hoping that would solve the problem. Unfortunately it didn't. I'm still experiencing these random freezes and reboots and the only way I can get it to boot without freezing is to pull the battery out for a couple of minutes and try again.
I'm wondering if the device is thinking it's getting too hot so it shuts down but I don't really have any way of knowing (it happens a lot when I'm in the car or when the phone is charging). Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is and how to resolve it? Or any ideas on how I can debug the problem myself? It's happening fairly often now when I need my phone the most.
The phone isn't even a year old so if relock the bootloader and return it to stock it should be covered under warranty still if there's a hardware issue.
Well, this problem seems to be exclusive to Jelly Bean. I reverted back to ICS and everything seems to be fine. Is anyone else having this problem with Jelly Bean roms?
yeah I get alot of random reboots and some freezes here and there. not sure what it is. but i have to gsm version gnex.
I am facing with occasional freezing and hanging of phone.
1: it usually happens when I've checked a series of apps and on a messenger or crome
2. Sometimes after restart the phone comes back but it looks as If the graphic card failed to load. The icons are not rounded the colours are off. Then after a shutdown n restart it seems to be normal.
Has anyone faced this problem?

Getting a replacement on Monday. Tried factory reset and still freezes. The good thing that it happened while at t-mo store.

I have major lag issues when pressing the phone screen (the screen turns on sometimes 5 to 10 seconds after pressing the lock or home button), and the UI is very laggy at all times, apps like the keyboard sometimes take about 5-8 to load, and the gallery app takes sometimes as long as a minute to load.
The reason for the problem:
The problem started when I was trying to up a pic on instagram and then I opened the gallery to choose a picture, the phone lagged, thought this was something usual, waited for 1-2 mins, but the gallery app didn't load at all, the screen was black so I said what the heck, maybe a random hang, just tried to restard - phone did not respond so I removed the battery and after that the phone had major lag issues, before that I did not have any problem at all. This happened on stock android 4.2.2...
Here is what I did
I flashed stock 4.2.2, did everything as usual. wiped data after flashing and the phone was still laggy as f, I reverted to 4.1.2 which was smooth as butter and it lagged also... Now I flashed 4.2.2 a couple of times and the problem still persists. Thinking of getting it checked at the customer care centre, but before this happens I'd like to try to fix it on my own.
Any ideas, anyone ?

Tried it, lag still persists, this could be a hardware problem, as I mentiooned above the big lag issues started after the crash / black screen lag happened, so I am assuming something could have went wrong in the hardware part of the phone,softwarewise there should not be any lag, because Ive triet 4.1.2 and its completely lagless, now it lags like a mofo.
Thinking of brnging it to the customer care service, good thing the phone is still in warranty.
Dunno about the blackscreen but try using LagFix (it's on GPlay).
That app helped to me solve hanging issue I had.

Hey guys, i love my pixel 3 XL its been great but it has been randomly freezing and locking up, somtimes requiring a restart.
Other time i get the system UI crashed message and then i close it and it works again. Sometimes Chrome or the camera app locks up and crashes too.
Anybody experiencing this? Any ideas on a fix, maybe the next December OTA will fix it hopefully.
Thanks

Have you tried a factory reset?

I'm getting pretty fed up of factory resetting my phone, the phone started saying it's corrupt so I ended up reflashing it and that issue is now gone, but this freezing issue happens every now and then. You really think a factory reset is worth trying? Or could have something of gone wrong with the reflash?

I absolutely would try a factory reset if things are acting strange for no apparent reason.

If you flashed the factory image it's either a hardware or app issue. Have you tried using the phone for awhile with a minimum of apps? I'd give that a try I don't think a factory reset will do anything if you've already flashed the factory image.

are you using substratum?
Pixel 3 XL crashing
I have had the same problem. My system UI crashes since new, along with other apps and the phone becomes non-responsive. I thought it was just a new phone glitch that would be fixed with an update, no such luck... I need to do a hard reboot by holding the power button until it reboots. I bought a Pixel 2 XL in August and never had any problems like this. I finally contacted Google about the problems and they RMA'd it. I never root my phones before making sure they work correctly, so this one is and has been stock, unrooted.
My wife and I have the 64GB models in Black (mine), White (hers). She's on her 3rd replacement phone for what seems to be a similar issue.
Symptoms:
When using the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone, it may not unlock for 10+ tries.
The phone's battery drains quickly, within a couple hours of barely any use, her phone might be down to 60-70%
System_UI crashes
Some apps don't seem to load quickly (Like going into messages, you see the app container, and a new chat button, but no messages load for a minute). Or she's had a straight up black screen, and the app wouldn't load.
Takes minutes to call or hang up a call and often takes rebooting to close out the phone app.
It almost seems like something is running in the background that is utilizing the CPU and causing the lag/app/battery issues.
Troubleshooting:
Factory Reset
Wiping Dalvik Cache
Replacing the phone twice through Verizon. The first replacement had the same issues immediately. The 2nd phone showed the same issues immediately, and then went away for 3 weeks since the Dec. 5th Security update, but in the past few days has returned.
Booted in Safe Mode (everything seems to be working fine however extremely limited).
We've also checked the processes and no apps seem to be running that would make any sort of impact.
Running out of ideas

Since the December update, the freezing issues I was having have been significantly reduced, but it still freezes sometimes... I am hoping the January update coming in the next week will smooth out any remaining bugs.
Any of you using a different launcher?
I had this freezing and non-responsive issue. The google rep, replaced it, he determined it is some kind of hardware issue. My replacement didn't have this issue at all (November update). However, the lag/stuttering still persists though. I had replaced quiet a few pixel 3 XL, and i am just getting tired of it. For a $1K phone, we shouldn't get mediocre quality of phone.
So my wife had been removing applications in small groups to try to narrow it down. It seemed for a week or so that she was in the clear and everything was working. Then all of a sudden she got the January update and her phone is still having issues.
Slow responding finger print reader.
System UI crashes
Unable to answer phone calls despite numerous attempts.
It still seems like there is something that is running in the background that is just using the processing power.

Get gsam from the app store, if you don't have it. After awhile see what apps are using battery, app sucker in the app. Gsam is a battery monitor.

Sadly, gsam and accubattery don't show anything out of the norm app wise.
