Random Reboot on stock GSM galaxy nexus!

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:

Random reboots/lock ups

Hi everyone. For the last two weeks my Dinc has been doing random reboots and/or all buttons and screen no response lockout.
I have tried CWM and TWRP recoveries. Did full wipes and flashed few different ginger sense roms(TofB, Stock, Sparkplug....) The issue seems not rom related.
Usually the problem happens when I use Video or GPS related apps. Most recent case happened when I was using Splashtop remote app to stream video from Desktop. The video/audio was streaming fine then the screen and all of the buttons including power would not respond at all. The video/sound played fine for about 5 mins then the phone rebooted.
I don't know what is going on and would like for anyone to check the logcat and last_kmsg, hopefully you can see something. I am begining to think maybe the Ram or Nand is failing. A week before the problem started I did flashed to current OTA radio from Evo 2.15.00.05.02 radio that I used for about a year and updated the PRL.
Thank you.
Android v 2.3.4
Radio 2.15.10.12.20
Software sparkplug 1.4.4

My dinc also started to reboot a few weeks ago. When the last Verizon OTA came out a few months ago
I didn't do it because I am rooted. I read at that time that the one of the fixes in the updates was to prevent spontaneous rebooting, so I may try it now. The update is 4.08.605.19 and it's available on xda. Hope this helps.

Random rebooting?

I've had a 2013 Nexus 7 since it came out, and I never really had any issues with random reboots for the longest time. I had even rooted and was running a custom ROM/ kernel, and I had no issues.
It seemed to start once I had installed a different ROM/ kernel, while I was trying new stuff out just for kicks. I started getting random reboots, and I thought it was just the particular ROM/ kernel combination. Figured it was a bug that would get fixed in future updates, so I just tolerated it for a while. But, it persisted through the ROM and kernel updates.
So eventually, I switched ROM and kernel for something brand new, thinking I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Nope, still got random reboots. I've jumped around to some other ROM/ kernel setups over the last couple weeks, and no matter what I'm on, I still get random reboots.
It seems to mainly happen while I'm using Chrome (though, in fairness, a majority of what I do is browsing the Internet, so...), but it's also happened once while in the camera app, and also once while the tablet was "asleep" while casting a video to my Chromecast.
It's just getting kind of annoying, at this point. Last night, it rebooted four times in the span of about 45 minutes. Is this a known issue? Are there any fixes for this?

I'm having a similar issue. I run default 4.4.4 and have found no pattern to why its rebooting.
I found a possible solution of switching to ART (instead of dalvik) in developer options. Not sure why this should work, but the tablet hasn't rebooted last day using this. Along with a factory reset (which hasn't helped), I have no real solutions. Next step for me is to reflash the default ROM again to see if this makes a difference.
Any extra tips would be appreciated.

[Q] Apps Crashing

Hi all. I just got my S6 Edge on the release date and updated it to 5.0.2 via OTA right away. I noticed that a lot of my apps keep crashing and the phone will reset on its on sometimes. Is this a symptom of the memory leak issue? Has anyone else experience this and found a solution? Please chime in, thank you.
*edit*
I have already performed a factory reset and it didn't help.
Also the message is "Unfortunately, (insert app name) has stopped working."

Yep its definately the memory leak problem when pushed hard. Try using smart manager to clean stuff up or all in one toolbox from the playstore. A restart might help, mine has stopped crashing apps now, when setting up and syncing it seems to be worse.
My nexus 9 is the worst thing i ever bought hoping 5.1 will sort things out. As much as i Like lollipop, my 2 plus year old note 8 is smooth as butter on KitKat. That said new Samsung phones always have early software glitches that get sorted in a couple of months

I did all this and it doesn't seem to be working. What is the next step?

I downloaded AAStocks and it keeps crashing on my Galaxy S6 Edge as well. Works great with no crashes though on my older HTC ONE M7
Note: Crashing started after I added stock portfolio to application

UPDATE
I took screenshots of how frequently the apps crashed. I had 5 apps crash back to back within a minute of opening each. I went to a T-Mobile store and showed them the screen shots. They were busy so they didn't bother to ask me to duplicate the problem in front of them. The phone was still within the 14 day warranty period so they replaced it for me. As of now, I am no longer experiencing the issue. Maybe you guys can try making the same claim. Best of luck!

Happy you got a new phone. The problem though was the Google Play Service that for some reason had a hard time auto updating and a lot of apps depends on that.. So in the future try to disable it, uninstall and install it again. That will fix it.
Even when it's not a Google app it will do that. Had the same problem

S4 acting really buggy after using several ROMs?

Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago I was running an optimized version of CM 12.1 on my TMobile Galaxy S4 (this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696
It was working completely fine until I downloaded and installed an OTA update for it, and ever since then my phone has been acting wonky (not sure if updating actually caused it, but it happened around the same time)
Some of the problems included:
- Phone consistently crashing/freezing. I need to reboot multiple times a day to get over it.
- Soundcloud sometimes doesn't work. Usually it just doesn't load even though I have LTE, and other times it shows the song is playing but I don't hear anything. After a hard reboot, it works temporarily. Phone also crashes occasionally when I open Soundcloud
- Youtube also sometimes doesn't work. It's the same problem where it doesn't load even though I'm in WiFi. Also crashes occasionally when I open it
- Music player sometimes doesn't play songs I have saved
After experiencing all this, I took it as an omen to upgrade my ROM so I downloaded and flashed Resurrection Remix 6.0 for my S4 and I experienced the same problems. As a final straw, I downloaded and flashed a rooted stock 4.4.2 firmware (which I'm running now). The phone doesn't crash as much thankfully but I still have problems with Soundcloud, Youtube, music player, and just persistent freezing.
My phone was fully functional and suddenly I experienced this array of problems. If anybody can help me out or point me in a right direction, I'd be incredibly grateful as I love this phone and I don't want to abandon it (well...until the S7 comes out)

ODIN back to stock with the full firmware.

Okay, thank you very much I'm downloading it as we speak.
I was wondering if you have any idea of what the cause of these problems are as I'm looking to experiment with more ROMs in the near future but I don't want to make the same mistake again.

Can be a variety of things depending if you tweak stuff, install xposed, etc.
Generally if you make sure to do full wipes between roms you should be OK...
One more thing to check might be your microSD card. They can go bad on occasion. Try running without or with a different one and see if issues persist.

i noticed this with my s4 as well, but mine has to do with the sim card error. when i'm on stock tw 4.4.4 i rarely get a sim card error. then i flash other roms and i get the sim card error more frequently. for instance i just installed the Resurrection Remix rom last night an i've already experienced the sim card error at least 6 times already. i really like this rom so i'll have to deal with it, but if it gets the error too frequently, i don't mind going back to stock KK 4.4.4.
