don't know if this is happening to you guys but i've had this phone for a week and a couple of times out of nowhere it just reboots, is not often and i definitively don't play with it much, like right now it was just sitting there at the desk and boom, it rebooted, that's like the second or third time in a week, anybody else experiencing this issue?
i'll be pissed if i have to replace it as i just put an invisible shield on that shinny screen.
It hapend to me to I waS watching a video in flash ...its his first day with me)

I had the same issue while using juice defender which I originally bought for my s2. It seems to bug the nexus really bad at the moment.

Mine has done this twice now I think. At least the reboot is pretty quick, but not great even though.

Same here. Returned the 1st phone due to the random reboots and now the new one is starting to reboot randomly too. The phone reboots at least 4-5 times daily.
I've had this happen to me about once a day.
I noticed something unusual while travelling for the holidays: I did not experience a single reboot or hard freeze while having a Rogers SIM card in my phone while in Canada for a week.
Within 15 minutes of returning to the US and inserting my T-Mobile SIM card I had another hard freeze.
This seems pretty systematic, over 8 days with a T-Mobile SIM card I've had about one hard freeze per 24 hours. Over 7 days with a Rogers SIM card, not a single freeze or reboot.
Happens to mine as well every now and then. Today just after I had started it and it was lying on my desk.

I also experienced this when I was on stock rom (4.0.1) but it hasn't happened since I started flashing custom roms 3 weeks ago. on 4.0.3 now and not a single random reboot.

done it a couple more times after my last post, seriously thinking about taking it back to verizon, or should i wait for 4.0.3?

Sounds defective man. I wouldn't sit around waiting for 4.0.3 expecting it to help you out. Just get a replacement if its not a huge inconvenience (although random reboots are a big inconvenience ).
Well i went ahead and swapped it out, fingers crossed for no more issues.
the only thing i hate is that i'll have to install another InvisibleShield

I would switch it out for another one.
Mine does it only when my battery gets to a certain percentage, usually when it's low. Also notice it when I use wifi Tether app, when I close the program a few seconds later it reboots.
I dont have one myself but have been flashing and re-flashing on my NS4G since the first SDK port of ICS. My own experience and observation has been as follows: Once the official sources were release and the initial source builds began coming out, there was a problem with random reboots and as things were tweaked and adjusted they became less frequent then more frequent again and eventually in the right ROM/kernel combinations have almost entirely ceased. Its most likely a software glitch and until an update or you flash something custom it isnt likely to go away no matter how many times you exchange it....just my thoughts and opinion on it.
Happens to occasionally too... starting to wonder if its not all the phones or maybe just all androids in general
happens to mine when using gallery..but the phone doesnt reboot, it just powers off.....
Here's a funny off topic, after swapping the phone i picked up another invisibleshield from best buy as i had a rewards certificate, thought of using it instead of going through the hassle of shipping with zagg, got home, got my hands washed and ready to install and my invisibleshield package is empty.....
No $h!t so im pissed now and going back to best buy tomorrow hoping they dont think i stole it or something
I have an extremely annoying issue. I've seen some posts reporting this on various boards, but it seems most people throw a default answer out there that it's a hardware issue. I'll explain why I don't think that's the case.
The menu that comes up with you press the "menu" capacitive key has been popping up and down rapidly and repeatedly when I'm in a low signal area. This didn't start happening until after Samsung/Sprint fixed the LOS issue. I'm thinking it has something to do with the way they fixed it, which I don't have any technical or general knowledge of. Most of the time, the screen and keys will not be responsive unless I hit the power key to turn the screen off and turn it back on. It's even more annoying since it vibrates everytime the key is "pressed". I don't think this is simply a hardware issue as the only time this presents itself is the same times the LOS issue used to. I'm sure it's tied to that fix somehow.
Is anybody else having this issue? This may be a long shot, but I installed the LOS Checker zip, (I forgot which dev created it), and never uninstalled it, but I've upgraded many roms since then and don't think it would still be installed.
If any of you do have this issue, did you ever install that LOS Checker zip?
Rom= Blazer Rom EL29 v3.8
Kernel = rogue 1.4.1
Started happening to me recently as well. Im running Calks still on GB with ICS theme. I haven't paid attention to my signal when it happens but you are right, turning off the screen does stop it momentarily. I agree this may not be a hardware issue as well. I've just been bearing it because I plan on changing phones soon anyway.
Edit: It just started happening after this post. Signal was at 1 bar...

I have this same issue. I never realized it correlated with low signal. The issue cropped up 3 times today and each occurrence was with low signal. Good eye sir.
Do any of you undervolt or use a kernel that runs less than standard voltages?
My device is undervolted quite a bit and was wondering if it may be part of issue as i don't remember having this problem prior to that.
I am removing my undervolts and will report back if i still have this issue.

I think its a hardware issue. Im running the same setup on my replacement phone and haven't had the issue since.
I experienced this ever since I got the phone back in september but I didn't wise up until the 14 day period ended. there are two threads in the Q&A section concerning this, one that i started and another that i contributed to.
I would be trying to text and the menu button would pop up and i would accidently hit something on the menu that came up bc the button spazzes out randomly and consecutively and sometimes for a solid 5 seconds, but like the rest of you im sure, it wasnt confined to any single app so it was impossible to find one thing to blame. it would have to be something system-related or hardware-related (btw i did flash the LOS checker some time ago)
I believed the low signal theory for a while, as well as having a corrupted flash. but I experienced the spasms with full bars of service AND after a complete Odin restore to stock everything without restoring any of my past data whatsoever. thus I deferred to the "default" that it is hardware-related.
that was months ago.
I got so fed up with it, i decided to do anything to make it stop. So, I recently opened up my device and took everything apart and found that the water indicator just above the capacitive buttons had been activated. keep in mind I DID NOT EVER have any encounter with water. in fact, the other water indicators were perfectly undisturbed. this pissed me off because that means there might have been an accident or something while they were being manufactured that would have damaged the button - idk just another theory.
This is my main piece of evidence supporting my claim that it is hardware-related:
I ended up breaking the screen trying to separate the glass from the digitizer (stupid, I know bc theyre fused together) so I ended up buying a new screen/digitizer. put it in myself. i haven't had it since. I'm running the EXACT same set up as before I replaced my screen and its been about a week and no instances. I would be experiencing the sporadic menu button randomly, several times a day but it has completely disappeared.
i suggest to you all: bring it in to Sprint if you bought it from them or invest in a new screen off ebay if you bought it from a 3rd party seller (Amazon, wirefly, letstalk), i got my new screen for $65 shipped and it was in pristine condition. now im living a happily-ever-after ending
i'll keep a close eye on this thread to help you all with your endeavors/theories though
if any of you plan on opening up ur device, i suggest you do some homework so as not to destory your phone - its still an amazing device. or you can just ask in this thread and i can give tips to everyone
good luck!!
Thanks for all the updates.. I've noticed I'll sometimes get this error, but my phone will be showing full bars where I KNOW I have a poor signal.. for instance, my elevator at work..
Is there any sort of logging app I could run and go into an area I know this will happen to find out what's going on?

sometimes the signal bars are inaccurate (like you described). your true signal is found in settings>about phone>status>signal strength. 0-1 bars is really about -90 to -100 dBm
devs use logcats to analyze issues with the internals
http://forum.samdroid.net/f38/tutorial-how-get-logcat-example-check-battery-drain-2543/
I just checked a few other boards and it seems a number of people have confirmed it correlates wih low signal. There are a few people that keep popping up on multiple threads stating it's a hardware issue, only because a new screen fixed it. I would be fine with that logic if there weren't so many people stating it correlates with low signal. Also, it seems most people haven't really experienced this issue until after the LOS fix. Now, at the same times I used to have LOS issues, I now have this. I'm guessing it has something to do with internals and whatever they did to update it may be separate from modems or roms, since people have gone back to stock and still experienced this issue.
I haven't done a search, but is there an information source that states exactly what Samsung did to address the LOS issue?
I'm going to ODIN back to the original shipped EG30 package and test it out.. I never did OTA updates.. always through ODIN, etc. I'm going to see if I update through OTAs if anything is different. I'll report back.
I had experienced it since around the 1st week of october. i didnt have los fixed until i flashed chris41g's experimental kernels, not sure when all that was though. i was convinced it was related to signal too, but i would still happen on the highway/in public with 3 bars of 4g and ~50-60 dBm
would be interesting if you figure it out though
Yea I ODIN'd back to EG30 and now OTA'd to EL29.. no issues yet but we'll see tomorrow when I'm in elevators. After doing all this, I realized I probably need to do a full EEPROM reset and then go through this... don't really feel like doing that tonight though.
Im pretty sure this is in fact a samsung phone issue in general. I came over to sprint and the e4gt from verizon and the fascinate. I loved that phone, but it had this exact same issue. I have not in fact had it happen to me so far with the e4gt yet. I have a sneaking suspiscion that this issue goes hand in hand with undervolting, but thats just my own personaly theory.

Happens to me on the rare occasion as well. Might be an issue with the phone?
I called this one during the LOS era. It definitely occurs in low signal areas. I could never get LOS so I went into known dead spots and sure enough those random pop ups happened

I noticed there were a few other threads on Samsung devices with issues.... hmmm. Did you ever try limiting your underclocking to a higher clock speed? This may be a noob question but for the EG4T, is anything less than 800mhz considered underclocking?

I believe I remember seeing your post haha... I'll see what I can do if I mess around with clock speed.
Lately like the passed couple of months my Note 2 has been randomly rebooting like once every couple of days. Well, actually it doesn't exactly reboot its more like a sleep of death where for those that aren't familiar you go to turn the screen on and I don't know weather the phone went off or froze but it is non responsive. Like I said it really does not do it that often, not even really often enough for it to be an issue but I spent almost 800 dollars on this thing I don't want it rebooting or doing any of that.
I have had 3 smartphones in my day all being Samsung and they all did this starting with the Galaxy s2 which did it like 10 times a day. It was a really good phone despite that. Then I had the Galaxy s3 which would reboot occasionally, like this one not really enough for it to be an issue. Now with the note 2 I had had it since it dropped on sprint and when I first got it, it was rock solid. Now it is starting this. I am just wondering what anyone else thinks of the isssue. Am I the only one with the issue?
I am rooted and have been since like the second day I got the phone so I really can't say weather or not that has anything to do with it. It really does not seem to matter which ROM or Kernel I am on they all seem to do it every once in a while. All I can say is that my brother is an iPhone user and has had an iphone since the 4 and never once have any of his phones rebooted or locked up like this one does, and all my Samsungs have for that matter. I know its a little different since I am rooted running custom ROM's and all that but still for some reason when this thing does that it really irritates me, and I am just wondering if anyone might be able to help with the issue.

I have never had that happen. I'm running CM10.1 may or may not be the difference. Are you sure that the problem is not a app that you have installed? That would account for you having the same problem on different phones.

Hmm the only ones that I have had consistently with all those phones were the usual like facebook, twitter, titanium backup. I never messed with over or under clocking any of my phones or anything like that. Are there any apps that could detect a troublesome app that may cause a reboot? I have tried factory data resets but I always restore missing apps with titanium backup and never have just started fresh by re downloading everything, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Restoring with tibu across ROMs is frowned upon as it can cause issues.. I imagine its not good to restore across devices either.. Maybe starting with ur gs2 somethings didn't restore right and has been causing u problems ever since.. I would do a backup of ur current ROM, wipe everything and try starting fresh without restoring anything and see if that fixes ur problem.. Hope this helps..

You can try ROM toolbox from the play store, but I usually just start from scratch when I switch ROMs and I definitely start from scratch when it comes to new phones.. Even if its a warranty swap for the same phone..

Well ya when I first got the note 2 and the gs3 I did start from scratch but over time I started just restoring apps using titanium backup. Ill bet that's why both phones were flawless for the first couple of months of ownership until I messed them up with my constant restores. Another thing I was thinking about is the way I said the gs2 would reboot the worst out of all the phones I ever had, when I got that one I had came from a HTC Evo 4g and when I put the sd card from the evo to the gs2 I didn't format it or anything. I am betting that had a lot to do with why that thing gave me so much trouble. I will try a complete factory reset, and just re download all my apps from scratch and see if that fixes the problem. I really appreciate the input.
I've hadn't had the sleep of death on the GN2. But I have had a the occasional freeze or reboot. Maybe one a month, probably less. It happens. Between running experimental apps or mods, and that developers developers--including Samsung or their contractors--can't test for every situation, it's not a big issue. Other than maybe having to do a battery pull, and divak and cache wipe in recovery.
As for the TB and restoring, especially on the first time run on the phone or rom, I find it best to install from scratch apps. I kept separate directories for different ROMs because of it. Plus, some apps just restore a bit off like Lookout and FlashPlayer; you can restore the app, but don't want to do the data. Some stuff, you can use the data restore after installing the app from Google Play or sideload with a new ROM without issue. Unfortunately, knowing with apps play nice in which situations is a lot of trail and error.

The freezing/rebooting issue plagued a few of my galaxy devices. My Epic 4G(GS1) and my GS2 would reboot/freeze/overheat all spontaneously and I never ran anything but stock root on either of them. I used tibu but never to restore from one device to another. My GS3 was fine for the few months that I had it with maybe a couple reboots but not enough that I would classify it as a persistent problem.
My N2 has rebooted spontaneously maybe 3 times since I picked it up on launch day. I've had it go into a unwakeable state a few times where pressing the power button won't bring up the lock screen forcing a battery pull. I've maybe had it freeze on me the same amount of times. Overall it's been the best phone I've ever had as far as stability goes. The AMC update was kinda wonky for the first few days after I applied it, causing my phone to lag a bit but it has since seemed to settle down and the phone runs like a champ.
I assume you're doing a tibu restore of app and data, maybe just try installing the app from the play store and then restore just the data from tibu and see if that makes a difference. I can only assume as others have said here that you have a rogue app that's causing your issues.
Good luck.
System apps are a no go. However I have restored all my apps from my gs2 and from rom to rom on the note and I have not had a single problem. But when in doubt just download fresh from playstore.

Thank you all for the replies, I have to say after doing a full wipe and installing all apps fresh everything seems to be working a lot better. No reboots or freezes, or SOD's in about 4 days (knock on wood)

Question
How do you warranty swap from one to a new phone is that possible if you a warranty from bestbuy.
Not sure if anyone is still experiencing problems but I'll share what I found in case someone else comes here looking for answers.
Is this possibly relevant to anyone's situation? The following thread talks about memory issues that certain models of the GN2 are prone to have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093599
So, I got my Note3 last week as soon as I heard CM11 nightlies were officially available. I spent zero time with the stock ROM.
Everything installed perfectly the first time. CM11 ran nearly perfectly, especially considering it's a nightly and there are no stable releases or RCs, yet, etc.
On Thursday I spent a full day at my desk at work. I noticed that my phone rebooted in my pocket. I figured "hey, it's a nightly...I've seen far worse"....then I noticed almost every 2 hours it seemed to reboot again, sometimes more frequently. It never rebooted in the middle of me using it...only while in my pocket.
So, I figured "hey, no big deal. Another nightly or two and this should be ironed out." So I restored my stock backup on Friday after work. All weekend long, no problems whatsoever. I figured it must have been something wonky in the nightly CM11.
Then on Monday, while sitting at my desk, it happened again...and again....and again. Same exact circumstances. I figured maybe I borked something so I got a restore-to-stock and flashed it via Odin.
Well, long story short this continues to be a problem whenever I spend any significant time at my desk at work. It doesn't happen anywhere else so far. It happens with any ROM I throw at it. I've Googled around and it appears that I'm far from the only person experiencing this problem however I don't experience froot-loops like a lot of people. Just semi-random reboots.
Now, I'm pretty convinced that a different (or new) modem would take care of this. I had the GS2 on Sprint and we had a problem we referred to as "LOS" (Loss Of Service) which typically required a reboot...even on my bone-stock phone...it seems to happen with the same randomness. One thing I do know about sitting at my desk, my phone is constantly switching back and forth between H, H+, LTE, DC and occasionally E...Edge being the only thing that gets solid service about 1 wobbly bar.
That's my own theory. This isn't a deal breaker for me. It only happens at work and if I wait a few seconds my phone is back in commission without any intervention.
Anyone else have a similar experience, tips, ideas, theories...? I'm more curious than anything.
Perhaps a Wi-Fi issue?

I keep wifi off at all times, wifi scanning set to off. I have unlimited data and my 4G speeds outclass my (relatively very good) cable modem speeds at home and at work (I live and work a stones throw from the NOC...I mean...literally, across the street from both places). I would prefer wifi if it wasn't sketchier than my cell connection.
So, it's not that.
How many files on your microSD card? Notice I asked how many, not how much space taken up. Android's media-scanner service seems to have huge stability issues once you cross the 10,000 files threshold. If that's your case, delete some files and see if it still reboots. I had about 10k files, deleted down to 6.5k and no more random reboots for me.
I have the same issue, and I don't have a micro SD card in the slot. The phone will randomly restart, usually after unlocking the phone. I have disabled wifi-scanning, auto app updates, and factory reset device, but nothing helps. It didn't do this before the kit kat update. It only happens maybe once a day or every other day. It's not terrible, just annoying at times. I'm thinking its a software bug.
Also, i'm running everything stock at the moment.
I have been on Cyanogenmod nightlies since I got the phone...and in the past week or two it does not reboot randomly with either Cyanogen or AOKP. At all. Still does with TW, I haven't taken the KK update so I don't know if that will help or hurt....and unless I absolutely am required to I won't be taking that update ever.
Maybe some kind of interference, that's kinda odd that it's happening only at your desk. And on stock.....

I just got the phone. I have probably had it 2 weeks. It doesn't happen alot but every once in a while the phone seems to be getting clogged up. To the point where I couldn't manipulate the phone at all. I would have to wait a few minutes for the phone to catch up. I'm not running very many apps when it happens. I've had 3 different apps going and listen to music and it hasn't happened. Then other times I can be running one app and it starts to lag. It doesn't seem to have any kind of pattern. I was going to just deal with it as it only happens every one in a while. But today it froze so bad the phone restarted it's self. What app was I running when this happened? Feebly I was reading a news article. Hardly a process intensive app.
So my question is. Do you guys think I should get a new phone? Or I was thinking a factory reset could fix this?

If you are within your exchange time period, I would definitely go ahead and swap it out. If you are outside of that then I wouldn't because you will probably get a refurb if you do a warranty exchange through Verizon. The main question is, How time do you have left before you cant exchange it in the store....
Mine doesn't stutter at all even after running a ton of apps when I first got the phone. I read another thread just a few minutes ago that mentioned if you have any stutter or slow downs return it immediately. The original poster mentioned it was a night and day difference when he exchanged it.
Something I found odd with this phone. Is that it has the download Booster. Last I heard Verizon was taking that out of there phones.
