More info?
when does it auto reboot?
Does it get hot?
did you try "Factory data reset"?

Did you possibly flash new firmware and that happened? You need to give us some more details.

Well it sometimes just randomly reboots...

I don't got problems with listening to music, maybe some app is messing your phone. if you can't find the problem do a "Factory data reset", if this doesn't help you can bring the phone back and get a new one. It can always be a faulty phone.

My Arc sometimes reboots on me too but not randomly. It's always when it's doing something that maxes the CPU and I switch between apps simultaneously. It's quite annoying, no doubt. My old Desire never did this.
Hoping for a future fw update!

I'm on my third week with my arc and it never randomly rebooted.

It's being reported in the SE forum as well. You don't notice the reboot unless u put your phone within your view the whole day. Thats when you will notice the random reboots.

try ddfw, I ensure you will get one.
I even encountered one when the screen was off and it's doing nothing

I'm pretty confident its caused by buggy software and not broken hardware.
Looking forward to flashing some custom roms and kernels to get around this and up the perfomance

15 times
my arc have randomly rebooted at least 15 times in the past 3 days. it's so annoying. what's that thing with stuffing tissue paper on the back does it work?

i've reflashed mines twice now, and done reset to factory default on top of that after the second flash for good measure, and it's still rebooting when it feels like it. i uninstalled a weather widget, and i got almost 5 hours of constant uptime. i'm about to reflash it again and not install anything, maybe just battery monitor so i can tell how many hours/minutes i can get before it reboots again.
i read about the battery fit, and i have tried various things to try and see if that was the issue, but nothing physical seems to make it reboot, and like some others, i have seen it reboot when the lcd is off and the phone isn't doing anything.
i'd really like to be able to use this arc!

mine just had the first random reboot...first I thought that the battery was all drained out but then realised after switching it back on that it was at 20%...
the phone was on idle, locked...weird!!!

Just had my first random reboot after a months use, was using google nav while charging from the cigarette lighter. Quite annoying as i was trying to find my way somewhere and suddenly realised i hadnt had any instructions for a while. The phone had gotten quite hot - i think google nav must work it pretty hard.

If you use the home button to switch between recent apps a lot (i do) then it's pretty obvious if your phone's been rebooted as the recently used apps list is empty, so i'm fairly sure this is the first time my phone's rebooted on its own.

Random reboot here, too. ^^
I was typing an email with Google Mail app (with wifi and mobile data connection turned off, actually), when the screen became all coarse and broken (does anyone remember old DOS games crashes? ^^) and then it rebootet. Everything fine afterwards except for my email, which was gone.

Happened to me once... exactly as you described except I was retrieving email at that time, not typing or touching the screen at all.

s3 alarm not sounding? :/

i'm on stock, unrooted, 4.0.4 (latest ota) and my alarm rarely sounds...
i have no idea what causes it to choose to sound or not, but I find that it becomes less likely to work when there's 2 alarms active.
this has been going on for a couple weeks now (used to work fine), and i woke up an hour late this morning because of it!
i've tried:
- force closing the app
- clearing data
- deleting/re-adding the alarms
- creating the alarm from within the clock app, not directly from the widget
- removing widget from the homescreen (as you can see, i'm getting pretty desperate with this one!)
anyone else experiencing this issue?
edit: could it have anything whatsoever to do with nova launcher? i think this started after switching to nova (i've since switched back to stock touchwiz). the widget didn't come up properly on nova, and I created alarms from the widget. maybe im just being stupid but I NEED this to work again.. looking for suggestions for replacement (free) alarm apps in the meantime.
thanks

no one? this issue hasn't gone away, and apparently i'm not the only one experiencing this. could it possibly be a hardware issue? other people have reported it on cm10 as well.

yea only time alarm failed was on P.AKANG which is basically cm10 and aokp and pa. so basically yes a cm10 problem
ur on stock no clue why the **** your gettin any problems hm... factory reset if it really bugs u? or just join in the flashaholics and root xD

I'm on cm10,my alarm works, and I didn't play around with any settings. All I did was tell Google now to set alarm to w/e time I want.

Alarm works it just vibrates and has no ring!

Can you set ringtones from settings? Maybe it's a media storage issue..? Idk

You could install a 3rd party alarm app.

Check all three sound menus and if that doesn't work try restarting the phone
Galaxy S3
kindle fire running cw9
iPod touch 4

Had same problem - solved
I had exactly the same problem. Turned out my daughter had turned BLOCKING MODE ON!
When you turn this on, by default it will NOT let you hear the alarm.
I turned if off again and alarm works fine!
Hope this helps

[Q] Anyone else experiencing issues with manually updating weather?

Just got my Note II, yesterday. No real issues besides not experiencing the spectacular battery life everyone else in the world has been talking about, and another minor, yet very irritating annoyance: I am using the stock clock/weather widget that comes on the Note II. I guess it's a jelly bean widget. I have ALL of the location features enabled in 'settings,' and I also have set the weather to update every hour.
What I've noticed is that the weather rarely updates when I'm at home, but it will update when I travel around town from city to city. And when I try to manually force an update while at home by hitting the refresh icon, the icon will just continuously spin for a ridiculously long time, before timing out without updating. This happens over WiFi or if I'm using AT&T LTE.
Is anyone else having these issues, and if so, is there so setting I have/don't have enabled, that's making it so the weather will not manually update??

Mine acted funny the first day or two but is fine now. Did you try rebooting? Not sure why mine cleared up. I did go in and disabld a lot of the bloat ware through app manager. Haven't rooted yet.

Did you turn off GPS? It won't work if you enabled "Enable Current Location" in the widget configuration and the GPS is turned off.

Mines did the same thing until I flashed CleanROM Lite Edition v1. Im using HD widgets btw.

I love HD widgets but I really like the stock Jelly Bean clock/weather widget. Maybe I'll try HD widgets in the near future, but happy with stock. The one thing about HD widgets that is supremely superior, is the weather options and information.

The same thing is happening to me when I try to manually update (clocks forever). I'm about ready to trash the widget.

I'm not sure what's happened, but ever since I did a restart after the person I quoted suggested it, I haven't had anymore issues. It updates manually, now. Try a restart and update immediately afterwards to see what happens.

Screen turning on by itself

When I press the power button on my phone and put it down (whether it be a few inches or a few feet away) it will turn itself on for no reason. I have installed various air-push detectors, I have tried cleaning the USB port (note this phone isn't even a month old in my hands) but nothing is working. If you know what's going on and or how to fix it let me know. I'll post updates if I get it fixed.

I've had that happen many times and even after running a logcat I've never figured out what caused it. Sometimes an app requesting su has been the culprit but most of the time I have no idea.

So you never fixed it? I'll try auto granting and using logcat

i disabled the alarm and as soon as i was going to say it might have worked, i turn my phone off and literally a second later it turned back on

well in that case you probably have to disable one app at a time and test for a day or so to figure out which one causes the wake up:banghead:
my screen on returned with the enabled tunein alarm option. i wrote them a support ticket and hope they will adress that issue as fast as possible.

Yep, it's an app causing the issue. AudioGuru used to do it to me (whenever it changed profile the screen would light up). Since the latest version it no longer does it

it is caused by an application. usually caused by live wallpapers. install dr.web antivirus scan, remove suspicious app. :good:

Strange behaviour you think only your Gnex has

I browse xda alot and stumbled up on many weird issues.
Maybe this thread could be an advise-thread like "don't use your Gnex with a Netgear N Wifi AP"
If there is no interest in this thread, just let it die
This is not a thread related to a specific ROM. More for flashaholic people like me who encounter little issues that occur on many different ROMs.
I will list my issues so you get an idea why I started this thread:
- If I connect my Gnex to the charger and use it, almost every time PIE will break and I cant navigate anymore (AOSP-PIE) - I have to reboot my phone.
- If I connect my Gnex to my schools WiFi (CISCO Hardware) I have constant data-download activity and my battery drains in no time
- Sometimes if I connect my Gnex to the charger it behaves like it gets plugged in and out very frequently
- At home, connected to my WiFi (Netgear Router) I have to constantly wake my Gnex to receive new messages (Whatsapp, Mail, etc.)
Maybe we can help each other with tips?
- cheers

I have none of these issues but one. The last one. I thought I was the only one! It happens randomly to me.. I tried to find a fix but havent come across any. Nice idea for a thread it helped me already

Do you own a Netgear router?

I have not faced any of these issues. Been changing ROMs ever since the day I bought the phone (A year and a half back).
That charging issue alone cropped up once. But I was able to fix it by pushing the pin in the charging port up by a bit using a safety pin

1. My volume down is busted. Pressing it on normal mode, nothing happens. In Safe Mode, it works though I have to press real hard. Due to this, cant do screenshots anymore.
2. I can connect this gnex to my computer fine but the phone does not detect the charge.
3. Much much more wakelocks when using original battery compared to a china branded replacement battery

well, that's interesting! I'm planning a replacement because my phone is two years old and so is the battery.

While using certain kernels with Trickster Mod and "set on boot" option, I get a reboot if the screen is off when Trickster applies it's settings. Took me a long time to figure this out. If the screen is on when Trickster applies kernel settings it works just fine. Never could figure out why this happens, but I use tasker to keep the screen on for 2 minutes after boot to prevent it.
