Lately my galaxy nexus has been shouting down or restarting. If it doesn't restart by itself I have to pull the battery to get it to turn on. It should be noted that each time this has happened Skype has been on in the background. (audio only)
Also there are other audio apps open in the background (power amp) that were occasionally playing during the call. I have headphones on also. I'm on Verizon and my nexus is 1 day old. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi there,
I noticed that you mentioned you used Poweramp and I think this could be your problem. I had the same issues: random reboots, and a few times, my phone would vibrate in my pocket and turned off itself. I returned the phone (luckily still under warranty) and received a brand new replacement.
I started to install the apps one-by-one, and within a couple hours of downloading poweramp (which i had also used in my previous device), my phone froze and shut down without turning on. I had to battery pull a few times, and thankfully, it turned on again.
I uninstalled poweramp, and there has been no issues since (it's been 3 days without poweramp).
Hope this helps.

I have a problem with my Galaxy Nexus turning OFF at night.
I goto bed at night and open the clock app and click the screen to dim it. When I wake up in the morning the phone is OFF. I have to pull the battery in order to boot. The battery is fully charged.
I returned the phone after this happened twice and received a brand new one. I have the same problem with this new device. I have changed the power socket and the charger yet still the problem persists.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
I have Skype installed and running which maybe the cause. I will keep it OFF for the next few nights to see if this has a positive effect.
Try it without any off your apps installed. If the problem goes away you know it's an app causing the problem. Then start adding them back in batches until the problem re-occurs. Eventually you'll narrow the issue down to one app.

This is happening to me too.
At random times, the phone will refuse to wake from sleep.
Nothing but a battery pull will fix it.
I don't have skype installed.
Have a look at this:

Mine started today. Really hope this does not keep happening or I need to return this right away. Missed a few phone calls today and didnt realize until I looked down any my phone was just simply black. Will not wake up or do anything at all. You have to pull the battery. Right before this happened my data was dropping non stop about every 5 minutes for an hour.
I'm trying to stay calm because I love this phone, but between the data drops and the phone turning off im loosing patience quick.
This is happening to me as well. With TWO different phones. The first one I returned to Verizon and now its happening on the second one.
Phone will power off while doing random tasks. The two I've noticed is browsing on the stock browser and texting on the stock texting app.
I'm having the same problem. It's happened twice in the 3 days I've had the phone. It hasn't happened while I'm using it, both times it was when the screen was already off -- it just wouldn't waku up. Nothing short of pulling the battery, letting it sit, then powering on would work.
Couldn't have come at a worse time either, my daughter is in the hospital and I get updates from the surgeons via phone. So now I have to check every 5 minutes and make sure the phone is still on.
Phone is bone stock, out-of-the-box.

it does it when i have skype running too. also i have other other audio apps open. (power amp, tunein, pandora) It's happened twice to me and each time it has been during a skype call while the other apps were running. (in widget form)
shock sensitive in the area right below the camera?
My device just "randomly" switches off (sometimes several times a day). After a long search for a reproducible cause, it seems safe to say that at least some devices seem to be extremely shock sensitive in the area right below the camera (on the back of the device). Even minuscule shocks to this area switch these devices off. Youtube-user 'jardinepatten' demonstrates this problem nicely in a video called "Galaxy Nexus Turning Off".
Had my SGN for a few days now and over the last two I have come to find the phone won't respond after pushing the wake button. Some times the the notification light will be flashing, but the screen just won't turn on.
So far I've pulled the battery 4 times since yesterday... I can't find any reports of this, so I'm hoping I just got a defective unit.
I believe you have a rogue app. When I installed wave launcher it would lock the phone up in this fashion. The only way I could get the screen to turn on was to call the phone and while still on the call I had to uninstall the app and all was fine.. try and remember if you recently updated or installed an app and see if that fixes it

I got mine Friday, and when coming out of sleep the screen would turn on, but would be unresponsive to touch. If I pulled the battery, it was fine. I setup face detect to see if the phone was still active, and that would unlock it fine, I just couldn't touch the screen. I exchanged the phone yesterday with a new Nexus, and haven't had a problem since.
I believe the bad app was twicca. I installed right around the time the crashes started, and since removing it I haven't had any more crashes.
Saw another thread regarding pretty much the same issue, was SetCPU.
Previously used to see this (other devices) when something was underclocking CPU when phone was asleep, and phone wouldn't wake up)...
Anyway, glad to hear it sounds like you've got it.
I don't know what's happened lately, but in the past few days my nexus has frozen during completely random tasks. Once while typing a message in google voice, once while browsing the web. It freezes, completely stops responding...nothing at all happens, then the screen turns off. It doesn't even reboot. And I cannot wake it up. I have to do a battery pull.
How can I find out what's causing this?
My issue is similar, but not the same.
My unlocked (but unrooted) GNex randomly turns off during use. I'll be listening to a podcast and browsing XDA, or listening to music and browsing the Market, and without warning, the phone will shut off instantaneously.
I don't need to pull the battery; it turns on normally by holding the power button. I've had absolutely zero problems with this phone, until this issue happened to me several times in the past week.
Not very optimistic about finding a solution. I'm gonna flash CM9 once it's completely stable and pray it wipes the slate clean.
Wow. Didn't see this thread. I posted above with similar problems.
Mine (LTE VZW 4.02) never did this the first week i had it, but since rooting via ODIN, it has randomly rebooted several times, in addition to completely dropping 3G a few times in the past week.
This is with a full stock but rooted/unlocked LTE GNex.
Stock rom and no modifications
I have similar experiences. First fiends complained that Im not at gtalk so either wlan or 3G had some problems. Few days later came random boots and after half a day the phone cant even boot more than few seconds to the bood animation.
After paying 650e for a phone I would like it to work more than 3 weeks. The pending repair.... .. I waited 1.5 months for my Nexus One. It broke almost as fast. How hard it is to make phone that just works?

I had similar freezing when I was stock rooted on 4.0.1. After flashing a custom rom on 4.0.3 more than a month ago, not only have i not had a single freeze but the multitasking button no longer lags (which was my biggest complaint)

Hi fellows,
I bought HTC one X in the morning itself, and within 2 hours of purchase was greeted with first random reboot, I've had this phone for 10 hours now, and it has rebooted thrice, with last 2 reboots in 10 min successions when I even didn't touch the phone! Has it to do anything with the software version which is 1.26.720.0..
Has anyone else faced this issue?

See if your SIM card is good and the tray is good closed.
SIM card is good and the tray is properly closed. Called HTC support guy, he told to turn off the phone and turn it on after 2 min. Did that, didn't touch the screen till the phone booted properly. Let's see if reboot happens again.
btw, I was playing teeter which came preinstalled, and that game was lagging! I assume ts pretty light weight game, but still the lag!!
Have to keep to recharge the phone for 8 hours? i.e. the first recharge? Is your device extermely hot? Because sometime overheat tend to reboot the device. Let the device settle down then you can start playing games.
Two more reboots
@ShyamSasi
I did charge the phone for around 2 hours, till the battery came to 80%
The phone becomes warm (not hot) when I use the camera for a long time. I have played that teeter game for only 5-10 min, and it was lagging.
Turn off the device let it chagre for few hours (Offline charging) then see how it is. Nothing works try do a factory reset the device.

Try to do a factory reset, if the problem keep continues, go back to the store and exchange 1.
Hts reboots
I had the same problem and i fully charged a couple of times with the phone off and the battery completely empty and now i have had no restarts for 2-3 days. Hopefully it's gone. Are your phones still rebooting ?
I've had my phone reboot randomly once.
Was using my desktop, then suddenly heard a sound, I thought there was a notification but the phone just rebooted.
Never happened since I got the phone (only about 3 days).
Mine is white and made in Taiwan and running on 1.26xx
Just sharing,
Cheers
not had a radom reboot at all

no restarts here had phone since tues
Whatsapp user and never had a reboot for 2 weeks. Suggest you bring to the store immediately.

Same here - Sense restarts more frequently then phone restart, so it seems like a memory leak/resource issue. Phone has restarted by itself twice in 2 weeks, once it detected a 'crash' and requested I send log. Other time it didn't. It is definitely warm when it restarts so maybe temp ahas something to do with it.
Try disabling fast boot in settings, then restart your phone
Reboots are also caused by SetCPU, in case you use it.

Seems to have made a difference. Sense restart only once in the morning. Wil monitor for a few days. Thanks!
I have had several restarts, all of them while listening to music. Either through the music player or using SR Play (Swedish radio streaming app). With the music player I had the head phones connected. With SR Play I was streaming the audio to a bluetooth device.
Anyone else experienced this?
I had a restart too while listening to music through the ear phones with music controls that i got with my Desire s. That was 5 days ago and not happened since although playback does make a click/pop sound every now and then.
Hi all... I've been using android devices since day one and love the pixel c.
I'm just having a problem where every time I shut down the device I come back to it at the end of the day and the LED lights on the back of the tablet on and it seems like the tablet has been on all day and has no power?
I'm definitely powering it down as it says power off and I let it power down yeah but it just doesn't seem to be powering down properly. Are others experiencing this issue.
Laters,
PJ
My wife is experiencing this same thing with hers though I was wondering if she was closing the folio cover before it fully powered off. I noticed that when the screen goes black a few seconds after choosing power off, the image is still there as if the backlight on the screen was turned off. I seem to not have the issue she's experiencing when I power it down.
Not to hijack but I was wondering if you or others were having issue with the tablet randomly rebooting? It happened a few times after listening to Google Play Music for a few minutes (each time) while connected to an external Bluetooth speaker tonight and twice a week ago while I was trying to do the same thing.

Just another note about these issues...I was in the kitchen today doing something's and out of the corner of my eye I see the Android/Google splash screen then boot to the lock screen. I Then asked my wife if she powered on the tablet today and she said no...so is this thing powering itself on now? I swear this only happened after the latest update because this thing has been rock solid.

I know this is an old thread but I'm interested to see if you still have this isssue as I am having the same problem. I have narrowed down the cause to the Netflix app.
If I use Netflix then the tablet will freeze on shutdown. The backlighting won't turn off and the LED remains lit.
If I force close Netflix from settings before shutting down then the tablet shuts down normally.
Since i installed the beta android 8.1 my tablet has been running great. No issues turning off and youtube browsing videos while watching a video is FINALLY fixed!!!!!!!
Thanks richardtribes. I have installed the 8.1 beta. My tablet does now shut down correctly after using Netflix, although I'm finding that videos that I attempt to play in Netflix are now scrambled. I think there must be some issues with either codecs or DRM on the Pixel C.
