Using the USB drivers and Firmware from the Samsung Germany website I went from yakjuzs (Hong Kong) to yakju.
After doing this, I powered off my phone, and powered it back on.
After the Google Logo and Animation, I get a message box that says "Android Updating...". after short period of time (under 2s) at the bottom of the screen it says "No Service", then the message box says "starting Applications" under the "Android Updating..." message. The phone then finishes initialization as normal and goes to the home screen.
This made me think that my phone might be trying to upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2. So I went to the system settings > about phone > system updates and checked for updates. It said my phone was up to date, and the version in the about section is 4.0.1.
Has anyone had this happen to them before? Have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
This happens every time I shutoff my phone and turn it back on. I have also tried a battery pull.
*bump*
Can anyone else out?

I ahd this constantly on my Nexus, once I rooted and rommed it went away. I know that is not a valid solution but it was how it stopped for me. Hope you get it sorted.
I was thinking of rooting so that I can get the 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 update so this might work for me too.
Will report back when I give it a shot later tonight

I already talked two people on here today into rooting for various problems and both were a success.
Waiting on Google or Samsung to release an update is painful! Root and rom that bad boy up tonight and I bet the issue stops. It only happens me now if I wipe cache or davlik if I need to load a new kernel or something but only happens once then never again! Good luck anyway
This is not an issue.. the system is creating new caches for the apps.. All of them do this, and rooting and rom'ing doesn't "solve" the issue because it still happens from time to time depending on what you load up on your phone.
as josh said, this is totally normal and absolutly nothing to be worried about. there is no way to solve it.
Normally it only happens the first time you turn on the device, or after you flash a new rom, because now it's the first time your loading up the new OS.
once that one time is done, it most likely will never do it again.
Thanks for the help! I may still consider updating manually because I'm impatient when it comes to Google sending the 4.0.2 update

Its happened twice that i can remember now.
This morning in bed I grabbed the phone, deleted some emails, opened the browser and the screen went blank with the sound of a slight crackle. It then instantly revooted (google logo popped up etc).
Im concerned the phone is faulty. Is it likely just one of those things or does it sound more sinister?
Hope somebody can advise.
Mine rebooted once the other day. I don't necessarily think that the phone is faulty, it just has bugs that need ironing out.

it's just the apps
it can happen with any android device
just keep an eye on which app is causing it
you can pull out the logs and scan through it
I've been having the same thing as the OP. I get "Android is Upgrading" when it restarts, too.
In additiona I've seen (several times now) that when I press the power button to turn the screen on, it wont accept any input. After 30 minutes or so it spontaneously restarts and goes to the "Android is Upgrading" message when it restarts.
I'm on the verge of RMI'ing the thing as some of the other guys in the office who have it have not had the same problems.
I'm running vanilla sim free version, no operator tat installed.

Are you running a totally unmodified stock rom or have you flashed a custom rom/kernel/radio to it? Kernels are still being worked on and arent perfect yet.
Also Android 4 is still very new and alot of apps are not fully compatable and subject to crashing or crashing the system.
Everything will be ironed out in time
Mark.
I have searched for this issue but couldn't find anything about it...
So I got my GSM Galaxy Nexus from Rogers 10 days ago. It has been working dandy with maybe 1 force close the whole time and no random reboots. I also unlocked the bootloader and installed 4.0.2 (yakju) keeping the radio that came with it intact.
I also installed Google Wallet on it and successfully used it. Other than that, I haven't done any tweaks, and like I said, it has been working perfectly with no problems whatsoever.
Enter today: I woke up this morning and went to check my phone. Instantly like 3 applications force closed (ones that weren't even running in the foreground too). Now for the past 3 hours hours or so, applications force close (some won't even have a chance to run for a second) and the phone reboots randomly. I think it has rebooted around 30 times in the past 3 hours. Sometimes it reboots as soon as it has booted up, sometimes it works for a few minutes before rebooting.
Every time it reboots it shows my old battery stats (I think.. from before I went to sleep), and notifies me of the same emails. I managed to install one app before it did a random reboot once, but after the reboot it was gone. (Think Groundhog Day).
I have no idea how to fix this short of doing a factory reset. Anyone have any ideas as to what may be happening or how to fix it?
Thanks.

Is it doing a full reboot or just a "warm start"?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
What's a warm start? It seems to be doing a full reboot.. Screen goes black, then Google logo appears, then the boot animation.
It seems that I cannot do a factory reset.. selecting it in the menu brings me to the android robot on its back with a red exclamation mark, and selecting wipe data from that menu doesn't actually wipe anything even though it says it does.
Try unlocking and relocking your boot loader if you are going to factory reset anyways

It's already unlocked.. You mean locking it and unlocking again? Also, is there any way to batch reinstall all the apps tied to my account? And also, any clue how this issue could have originated? I want to avoid it in the future.
No idea.. all I can think of is an app using all of your memory as that's what causes a force close.. and sure try relocking and unlocking if a normal factory reset won't do it. If you have titanium backup you can use that to batch reinstall but if it is an all causing this issue you should install them one at a time to see of there are any adverse effects.
I don't know if it is an app but that is my best guess.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I hadn't installed any new apps prior to this.. and everything was working fine before, which is why I'm confused as to what could have caused this. Also, not just one app force closes, but like 4 at a time.. usually the Google apps for some reason. I checked the memory and the CPU and it seemed to be running at normal levels.
Have you tried an old-fashioned battery pull?
Haven't had this happen to me, but a pull usually does the trick.
Yep, and it hasn't worked.. Every time the device reboots, it will either reboot again right away, or if i don't touch it, it will idle. Then if I try to do anything, 3 or 4 apps will crash instantly, and then it will freeze and instantly restart.
If I manage to install an app, I can run it, but then it crashes and reboots again with no sign of the app. Deleting apps is also useless as they are back after reboot. Strange issue.
Guys, I really need help.. I finally had time to sit down with my phone and figure out this issue so I decided to just do a wipe. As I wrote previously, I am unable to wipe it from within the OS due to it rebooting when I do, so I decided to re-lock the bootloader.
When I typed "fastboot oem lock", it changed the lock state on my phone to locked.. as I was expecting.. however, when I rebooted the bootloader, it was unlocked again. WTF? Now I am trying to flash stock 4.0.2 to it again (which it was already), but it's been stuck on "writing 'system' ..." for half hour
Could the flash memory be corrupted somehow?
Ok, I have deduced that it is most likely corrupted flash memory.. I didn't even know that could happen, especially in 10 days.. I guess that's good ol' "Made in China" at work. Still, am I the only one who has had their flash memory fail on them?
Crossing my fingers that Rogers will replace my Galaxy Nexus even though it's rooted and bootloader unlocked :/
Hey stenzor,
I am facing same problem of rebooting...
But I haven't flashed it to yakju.
Did rogers replaced your?
I got my Galaxy Nexus 3-4 days back and have been using it pretty nicely. Suddenly today while activating bluetooth via an application called 'Notification Toggle', my phone crashed and the boot animations begun to come up.
The animation were taking a lot of time so I pulled the battery out, re-inserted it but was still stuck at the boot animation.
Then I charged my phone for about 45 minutes - 1 hour, tried booting up again but still stuck at that animation.
I am from India and the Galaxy Nexus is not launched here officially so it's not even under warranty.
Please help me, what can I do? I'm really worried and don't have much knowledge about Android (as this is my first Android phone).
My phone is running Android 4.0.4 ICS and is GSM unlocked.
I request any of you to please post a detailed solution so that I can get my phone up and running. I'm fine if there is any sort of data loss but I'll prefer to have my data restored.
Thanks in advance.
I wouldn't say that I've been experiencing the same problem as you described. Meanwhile, before Droid I was using IPhone 3G. And I can say that several times both of phones were completely stuck for lot's of hours or even a day/night without any reasons. But then, they become alive again without any sign of what has happened. I'm not experienced technically, but I think that each system has it's own recovery settings which continue to work even when system is off. Or when the system couldn't repair itself it's just restarting after sometime. If you bought your Nexus officially, and it's not have been used and "raped", then I think it should be back soon.

Is it unlocked or rooted? if so I would recomend using fastboot to restore it to complete stock condition. If not..... I have no clue
Are you rooted or have a custom recovery? If so, just wipe data and reflash your current ROM.
If your phone is bone stock, you will more than likely have to download the device's stock fast boot images and flash them.
I'm not sure how this will affect your unlocked radio. Maybe someone else can help you from here.

Hey, everyone. I know this issue has been reported before, but NONE of the solutions are working for me. Perhaps I just have a bad Nexus.
I received the device for Christmas and it has worked perfectly fine. Super fast, fluid, responsive. Then, suddenly, I was using the device and it randomly rebooted. I thought, "whatever, this happens to all devices at one point or another". But then, after I turned it on, it got stuck on the Google startup screen for at least 5 minutes. I decided to restart and try again, but this time, it got stuck on the google screen, rebooted on its own and got stuck on the google screen again, repeating this cycle over and over.
So I went into Recovery mode to wipe the cache and do a factory reset. Not even this would work. The factory reset worked, but when I started up my tablet again, it froze at the Google screen. Eventually, it would just continue the cycle of freezing and rebooting. This is ridiculous. A brand-new, unrooted Nexus 7 on 4.4.2 should not be completely unusable. My warranty is up on the 18th, so I will probably just return it, unless someone has an idea.
Thanks.

That'a your best option. If you haven't modified it in any way then use your warranty.
I agree. Since you did not root it, there is probably something wrong with your tablet and you should get it exchanged while you can

I am going through the EXACT same thing and no one has been able to help.. What I did to fix it was re-flash the 03.15 bootloader and that allowed it to start. I think there's some tablets out there that "don't like" the new bootloader included with the KitKat update and I'm glad to see that it's not just me... At least you are able to return yours. I purchased mine back in August last year
I have a a Samsung galaxy note 4 Verizon, it started rebooting continuously after getting an update.
When I power it up, it shows a message 'Updating app 1/246 and increments it up to 103/246 but then it reboots. I noticed that phone heats up pretty bad. If you leave it alone it will start rebooting at app number 21 or so.
I am willing to put a custom rom or anything else that will work, but since I cannot boot it up, there is nothing that I could do. Please help.
I am a software developer myself but not into android / phones.
Thanks,

My best suggestion would be to install odin on your computer as well as Samsung drivers and odin it back to stock. There are many guides on the very subject here on the forums. That or install Samsung smart switch on comp and phone and do an emergency recovery though that. Good luck!

Have you tried calling Samsung Customer Service (at 1-800-SAMSUNG)? They helped me to get my phone working again, although as it turns out I did have hardware problems, so I had to send it in to them and pay $70.31 since it was long out of warranty (2+ year old phone). Hopefully your problem is just software and they should be able to help you get that fixed without sending it in to them.
Hey there Fellow, i had the same problem, nothing wrong with the system. Just change the battery. Goodluck. I bought one for $7.
Do a hard reset and restore your phone to its factory settings.
