I am sure you guys have heard this one before.
BTW thanks again for all the help on rooting my GNex. I did it only for experience and being able to tether my N7 to my phone and it works pretty good. The Gnex crashes sometimes while tethering.
So being on 4.0.2 and rooted stock and on Verizon I noticed several months ago my OTA updates were not being verified and thus not being installed. I was hoping the problem would go away but it has not and now my Gnex is crashing, almost daily, re booting and bugging the heck out of me with that nagging window telling me there is an update available.
Please keep in mind that I really love the tethering on my unlimited data plan and would like to keep a way to do that.
So should I try to side load the update to get to 4.04 or go back to stock? and start over.
Thanks for all the help

Can anyone point me to a fix for this problem?

Hey guys, ever since the OTA update for 2.3.3 I've been getting at least one random reboot every week. It really pisses me off because before the update my phone ran perfectly AND it didn't even add Facebook or Android Market syncing which are the two things I was really hoping for. I finally rooted it the other day using the zergrush method and I've been messing around with the advanced settings in SetCPU hoping that something might help but I'm still getting random reboots every few days. I'm on the verge of paying Alejandrissimo to unlock my bootloader so I can flash doomkernel V3 but I don't even know if that would help. I guess I could also flash back to 2.3.2 and I imagine that would fix it.
I know I'm not the only person who started experiencing these reboots after the update, so does ANYONE know why they might be happening and what might possibly be a fix? Thanks.
You could try using Flashtool to go to a generic UK build
I got the update pushed to my phone yesterday and ever since there has been nothing but problems! First, the battery drains at a ridiculous rate. I unplugged it at 10:30 am and by 3:00 pm I was down to 60% without anything going on except 7 text messages. I can usually go 24 between charges. Second, the overall speed of the phone has slowed to a crawl. Web pages take forever to load, the app marked just hangs on the loading screen, and apps even take minuets just to open. Third, my phone randomly loses data connection. I cannot load any apps that require a data connection even when the wifi and 3G logo are showing with full bars. I get an error massage that says "connection failed" or "retry." it's so bad that when trying to sync notes or email my phone has the scroll wheel of death and freezes on that page. I've had the phone since thanksgiving and haven't done anything to it, its completely stock, I don't even know how to jailbreak it! I haven't had any issues whatsoever before I updated and now my phone is pretty much unusable. Is anyone else experiencing this? I need there to be an update to fix this update or for someone to tell me how to downgrade back to 2.3.4
You should try rooting and running an custom rom or kernel. I've received the ota as well but i immediately rooted afterwards. Im running the stock rom but using a custom, overclockable kernel, and its quick! Rooting is VERY easy on this particular phone & the instructions can be found here in the android development section of this phone model. Or you could simply just take the phone back and ***** to sprint about it and maybe they'll issue you a new unit.
I prefer not going to sprint at all simply because the only store with a repair center here where i live i worked at and it was terrible, but I need help. I want to know the simplest way to root and revert back to 100% out of the box stock if possible... If not i'll suck it up and go to the store

Do I need to root because this just shows him unrooting the phone?
You have been such a blessing! Thanks so much for being patient and dealing with my ignorance...
lol don't know yet.. but you are definitely more of a professional than I am so I am taking your word for it
I appreciate it. If I do encounter any problems I will let you know but so far so good. It's pretty easy to follow
It worked! Thanks again
Thanks! Being that I'm a pro now I will look into the whole rooting and flashing rooms. I even got the lingo down lol
Question though... Do I flash roms the same way as in the video or is there something different I have to do?
So I realize this isn't on the cutting edge of development, but I come here for info from the experts, and I didn't see any info posted about this OTA push.
So I'm still running stock ROM, rooted for tethering with CWM recovery installed, and I was trying to find some feedback on this update that was pushed OTA. I see vassosman started a topic the other day, but it was quickly closed.
Let me say that I was HATING my phone because scrolling would hang the phone for minutes at random times in the day with random apps and it was maddening! Several times I had to stop myself from throwing it up against a wall.
This OTA update completely fixed it! No need to re-root it either. I love my GS2 again!
So if you were skeptical of the update (I was because one of the listed fixes was "security enhancements" which sometimes means unrooting) I can say that my experience was very positive. I'm sure I probably should have connected to Kies and installed this update long ago. Life happens. I'm behind. I'm posting for others that are behind as well.
Does the LI4 update provide even more worthy fixes? Will I have problems with CWM installed?

Nope, as you stated it mostly had security improvements, but I doubt it affected rooting methods. People have reported that the normal methods to root the old firmwares still work on this one. So overall it wouldn't harm CWM or TWRP while using it, though you have to obviously reflash it

Im on stock li4, rooted using supersu and twrp 2.4. The same old rooting methods apply, no rules changed. Happy flashing!

I figured I would just add my experience in this thread.
My wife's completely stock GS2 had OTA updated to LI4 2 days ago and last night the phone shut off while in the middle of a call and will not power back on. No odin, no recovery. Nothing. Had to warranty exchange.
It doesn't seem widespread as I have not seen this reported elsewhere, but my wife is a mild user and was only using the most basic of apps. I think she was using Google Talk and Messaging and the Phone app at the time.
i recently my second S3 that i had flashed to page plus. i was told everything would work just as it did when it was stock with sprint. when i got it i noticed that i could receive MMS but not send them .It just says sending continuously until you get fed up enough to delete the message knowing its not actually going through. The next day I took the phone back to the dealer that i had flash it thinking they would know exactly how to fix it. its been a week now and the closest thing they could do was put an app called HOUDINI on it that allows me to send and receive MMS( im guessing through different APN settings?)although the app itself is laggy and horrible and i want to get rid of it as soon as humanly possible. they told me that had flashed the sprint S3 a couple times that week to page plus for other people and everything worked as it should but couldn't figure out what was going on with mine. another thing ive noticed is that it says i am receiving 3G data, but when compared to my friends phone on Verizon using 3G im not getting near the speeds he is.
im hoping to root my phone this week so i can get rid of that annoying camera shutter sound which sprint was nice enough to lock, and update to the latest version of android.
I have utilized the search button and haven't come across this particular problem or question
my questions...
1. has anyone had their L710 flashed to pageplus and experienced similar problems with data or MMS? or possibly heard of it and know a fix i am unable to find?
2. will rooting and/or updating android mess up my carrier flash and cause me to need another flash? from my research ive found that rooting should have NO effect on the flash, but updating might cause me to need to re-flash for the carrier.
Ive looked everywhere for a solution but cant seem to find one. My N7, currently running CM11, will randomly reboot for seemingly no reason. Sometimes i can go a day or two and nothing but just when i get comfortable, BLAM! Im not particularly worried just frustrated. I dont know what to do and I have read that its sort of common whether stock or custom(ROM). Im debating on trying to revert to stock because i cant seem to remember having this problem before CM, but i really cant be sure. Id rather not revert to stock if im just gonna have this issue but if it seems to work for others then id just go stock. Anyway I guess im saying that I need some advice here on what others experienced or think. Has reverting to stock worked for anyone else? Any other advice/insight would be greatly appreaciated!
-Thanks
The fix is coming, when Google releases Android 4.4.3, by the end of the month.. Sit tight

My stock N7 reboots randomly from time to time. It might go a week or more then reboot twice in one day. No apparent pattern to it.

I am experiencing precisely the same issue described in the OP. So I am also pretty interested in knowing if there's a fix.
@BSnapp, how can you be so sure of that upcoming fix? Is there a known issue with 4.4.2 for the N7 that was resolved for the next version? Any sources worth mentioning?
Thanks.
It's all over the Android news sites that Google is including a fix for the random reboot, plus several other fixes.. Just Google Android 4.4.3 update, and you will find the answers you seek...
