[Q] question regarding random reboots - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I bought a galaxy nexus (GSM canadian maguro model) in damaged condition, cracked screen and a bit of cola in the charger port. Replaced everything in the phone except the main logic board, metal frame, and cameras/lightsensors/earpiece.
at this point the device is way more stable than it was when i bought it, however about 2-3 times a day it locks up, sometimes with no reason, sometimes while listening to music, and reboots about 20-30 seconds later. When it locks up with music playing, the last 1 second of sound is looped until the device reboots. I suppose it could be happening more often than I notice, however I have noticed it happens more often when the device is busy and receiving text messages at the same time (ie listening to music on the bus).
Where do i start in tracking down the cause of these reboots? I've got the device on CM10 Stable, and I've attempted using a customer kernel, link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958143. Though it does not seem to have stopped any of the reboots (though it did make the device seem faster and more stable) Any information or nudges in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes the device was completely wiped and updated to CM9 stable before I ever used it. and CM10 stable when it was released.

just for the sake of ruling out software issues, I've updated the phone using the galaxy nexus toolkit to the latest google factory image. Hoping this will solve the reboots. (sorry if I should not have double posted)

Bump. This device is still randomly rebooting for me from time to time. Anyone, please, advice on how to track down the source/cause?

Random Reboots

Does anyone else suffer from random reboots with there device? it does it twice a day or more for me???
Is there anything i can do to stop this issue from happening again?
I.e wipe user data???
I've had it once or twice. Presumably a rogue app or a bug in the system.
I haven't suffered from a random reboot at all since having the phone on the second day of availability in the UK.
Then again, I haven't rooted mine, unlike others...
Yes I have had a few reboots in the few couple of days. Been ok since though

Not a single crash or random reboot so far. I rebooted last Friday after charging my battery and it's been running since without problems. My best guess is that culprit is one of your applications that you've installed, especially any application that tries to do something with Android and the device itself.

I had these reboots on a G2X and it drove me bonkers so I am always worried about phones doing it and I watch uptime like a hawk. Nexus has been rock solid since I turned it on the first time. No reboots. Sometimes it's apps and sometimes your use case just exposes a bug in the OS. Try doing a wipe and installing a few apps at a time so you can figure out what's causing it n
I had a couple within the first few days... nothing for a while...
This is just speculation, but I remembered seeing a thread somewhere in another form, in which a user with another device with the same random reboot problem was advised to check his sim card. A bad sim card may "vanish" for a while, causing the device to reboot. Again, just speculation, or if you wish, a hypothesis you can check.
I have something similar, the first time was when I was charging my phone, I woke up in the morning and I found my phone off and hot as hell. Battery pull and everything went perfect. then it happened to me 5 times, the phone freezes and turns itself off, then I have to do a battery pull! the last time was today I was listening to some music, then the music went weird, then the phone froze and turned itself off.
I called Three for a new phone as I have it for under 14days
It looks like there is an issue that google hopefully acknowledges like they did with nexus s.
I was listening to music on my way down the sidewalk thus morning and the mp3 started doing a loop of about 1 sec of the track over and over. Finally heard a pop and it went silent. Had to do a battery pull when I got on the subway.
Then on the subway about 10-20 seconds into a track after starting some music back up the track restarted. So I stopped playback thinking it may happen again.
I'll try to do what I can over the coming days to recreate this.

I would think that would cause more problems than that. I was listening to some tunes for a bit last night with no issue. And the issue this morning happened with two different tracks.
I had added a battery gauge widget to my home screen last night, I removed it just now. I'll try to recreate the problem from here without adding more apps or widgets. If I can successfully recreate it I'll try to hook up adb and get some logs.

I'm having random reboots too. I'm suspecting its something to do with either GO SMS or SlideIT. Do you guys have any of these installed too?

I'm getting another problem now. I've taken off GO SMS so I dont think its that. But when I get a notification (i.e SMS, email), I go to wake up my phone and the unlock screen appears. However it wont recognise any touches on the screen, then sometimes it will come back to life and other times it will reboot itself.
Never had a random reboot, I have go SMS installed.

Just had a random reboot with none of the aforementioned apps installed.
I was having random reboots when the phone was just sitting there with the screen off.
I had SetCPU under clocking when the screen was off, I removed SetCPU and my random reboots went away.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus keeps crashing randomly

Hey guys, i need some advise here!
For weeks, i anxiously waited for the mailman to bring my my GNex and for a few days im very happy with it. Unfortunatly, the major plus of android, it never freezes, isnt true for my brand spanking new Gnex!
Seeming randomly, the phone freezes, refusing all input from the screen and the On/Off button. This happens about every 20 hrs.
Ususally i advise people with this problem to exchange their phone with a different one, but im afraid i wont get a stock 'yakju' build back in return, so want to try to fix (or at least determine) the problem first.
Can you guys give me some tips on how to get to the bottom of this?
Thanks in advance!
Info:
Model: Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
Android version: 4.0.1
Smalbandversion: I9250XXKK1
Kernel: [email protected] #1
Build: ITL41F (yakju)
And again, it's all stock
...
i had a lot of problems with the 4.0.1 fw, have you tried updating the phone to 4.0.2 it solves a lot of bugs!
I tried to update the phone through the system update menu in the settings, but it listed my phone as 'up to date'. I find this is odd, since i have a Nexus ánd the Google build
Is there a way of updating the phone without a lot of hassle?
I looked into it, in the Netherlands the 4.0.2 update should roll out in a few days. If it isn't, I'm going to flash it myself! Were your problems with 4.0.1 similar to mine e.g. crashes and freezes?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
In my experience most of the time when that happened was caused by 3rd party apps that weren't ics optimized.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Well freezes and crashes maybe, but the whole phone unresponsive? Isn't there a try/catch somewhere which prevents this kind of 'dirty code' to crash the whole OS, anyway there should be.
Also, ( I forgot to mention this in #1) the phone reboots sometimes while its active as well as when its idle. The rebooting is always paired with a loud *click*

That exact thing happened to me yesterday as well (running 4.0.1). I pulled down the notification bar, clicked on the email notification, and when the notifybar started collapsing again, the animation stopped, sound was caught in a loop, and two seconds later my phone rebootet with a clicking sound (I hope that it was just the speaker reacting strangely to the sudden signal loss...!)
The same day, the Nexus kind of crashed while I was streaming internet radio to my bluetooth speaker. The music kept on playing fine, but I wasn't able to turn on the screen. Even holding the vol+/- and power buttons only shut the phone down, but I couldn't restart before I removed the battery.
I really hope this is gonna be fixed with the 4.0.2 / 4.0.3 firmwares. This thing is crashing a little too often right now, for my taste
I'm getting the same problems as noted above. I've just picked up the nexus to move away from Apple's iPhones, but I'm left wondering I've made a serious mistake in doing so. An added problem is that the crash has also occurred when I've been recharging the battery while asleep- so the alarm I set did wake me.
Honestly, it's an unreliable product. I'm a customer, not a Samsung lab rat.
Got the same issue. 2 crashes in 4 days. Not a huge problem for me yet, but 4.0.3 better fix it.
Well most of my problems went away when i updated my phone. You should definitely try to update. Personalty I went straight for 4.0.3. The best ROM i've tested is definitely Android Open Kang Project :http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11455-rom-android-open-kang-project-maguro-build-13/
Everything just went so smooth and bugfree as far as i can tell. And i love the quick setting he put in notification bar.
You can see how to unlock your phone here using the gn toolkit :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
I had those kinds of crashes, too. My phone would crash maybe once every 3-4 hours on 4.0.1... doing anything. Whether it be idle, with no extra services (factory reset), or while composing messages. Anything would do it.
Anyway, I rooted the phone and I've been on Bigxie's ROM since V1 (AOSP 4.0.3) and the issue stopped, for the most part, except for an idle reboot every 18-28hrs. Suspecting it was kernel related, I swapped out the Apex kernel and threw on Franco's... since then, my phone can run for almost two days (of moderate usage) without a charge.
Any of you guys enabled 'force 2d hardware acceleration'? I don't know how relevant it is, but all my problems went away when I stopped to use this function.

Uv'ing too low can crashes also.

Well this is exactly what is happening to me on my phone, it reboots every 2 days or so. sometimes it becomes completely unresponsive, the keyboard doesnt open up or of it does, it doesnt accept any input
even the settings page starts crashing, i dont know what is going on
it works ok otherwise but this crashing and becoming unresponsive is really driving me crazy. i have 4.0.1 as i am in the UK and since they are not releasing 4.0.3 for such a long time here, it means the fixes available in it is not really for stability and maybe they are for LTE version available in the US
Also, I dont have the 2d acceleration checked off already, so not sure what else to do to fix it. should i return the phone???

U sure it's not a software u installed recently? For me changing back to the stock music player fixed the random crashing.
In general, I can say some apps are not stable at all.
I experience random crashes too, although they coincide with the sudden loss of signal, as described in these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390816
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387943
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20816554
I have started to make some logs to try to identify the cause of this problem. I use Log Collector for making a log and No Signal Alert to obtain a time stamp when the signal drops. What I see in the logs is that just before the signal drops I notice an entry in the log something like "process:com.lookout has died". Could this have something to do with the Lookout app I have installed or is it just coincidence that the app and a certain Android process have the same name?
By the way, does anybody know if there are websites or people who can analyze the logs I have created? Most of the content is mumbo jumbo to me and a knowledgeable person might be able to shed some more light on what happens inside the phone and what might trigger this problem.
I just upgraded to 4.0.2 on Thursday, but the problem persists.

Well i guess you tried already to remove the lookout app right?
My GSM Nexus with stock 4.02 (unrooted) freezes randomly too.
When it occurs i cannot switch the screen on using the power button. Only thing that helps in this state is pulling the battery.
Iam starting to get extremely annoyed by Google/Android because my previous smartphone the Nexus One was also buggy ever since the Gingerbread update while beeing perfect with Froyo.
It's definately my last Android device if this will not be fixed with 4.03.
The phones are way too expensive to be a happy participant of a perpetual Google beta.

Are you sure it's the OS not some buggy/incompatible apps? I've had the phone since launch and it never froze even once. Stock 4.02 too.
And you should try out different OS. Then you will know what suits you.

device reboots itself all the time :((((

this is sux... how to fix it?
i tried to do hard reset but still the same problem.
usually it reboots when i'm listening a music but today it has rebooted when i was using simple "light" application...
Sounds like you have a defective phone if it's happening frequently while your phone is awake. I've had the same thing happen one time in six weeks, not enough to call it a problem, but if you're having it daily or more something is wrong with the phone. I'd exchange it if it were me.
Are you still stock?

Well of course try to do a factory reset and very selectively install apps and see if something is causing it. If nothing specific is causing it you're probably looking at a defective device.
Nine times out of ten the reboots are caused by some apps that you are using or that runs in the background. If you wiped your phone and set it up again, do not install apps. DON'T. See if it crashes like that or not. If it still crashes then you likely have a hardware defect of sorts.
Of all apps, stay away from any apps that interfere with Android as a system. Battery life managing apps are by far the worst, for example.
Yeah, kristovaher makes a good point- it could possibly be a rogue app. Avoid not only battery manager apps but also task killers and any other app that supposedly increases battery life. None of them are really necessary or useful anyway.
i have done factory reset
installed only Go Keyboard, turned on unknown sources and usb debugging like i allways do.
copied all my mp3s to the device and was listening a music... and it reseted again...
p.s. btw, sometimes when i'm listening a music and screen is locked, the music starts lagging (slows down)... it plays normal if i press power off button so the screen highlight.
definitely an orange
guys do u really think i should return this?
it will take another 1.5-2 month untill it reachs the shop or return back to me.. not sure if they even will answer via e-mail when i'll ask for relace... i'm not sure but i think it started reboot much after 4.0.2. maybe new 4.0.3 will have positive effect. some people from my local forums also advised me to flash any custom ROM (some of them had such a problem and it helped them, reboots gone... liek they said)
This random reboot has happened to so many people. So please, don't tell him that he got a lemon. You can google up "galaxy nexus random reboot" and see how many complaint of similar issue have been posted. I also got random reboot every two days or so. But if the OP got it every day or more frequently than that, just exchange it.
If you want to proudly say your Gnex does not randomly reboot, EVER, then just use it for phone calls, browsing the internet, and Facebook only.
How often is it happening?
If its more than once a day its certainly defective. That is not normal behavior. If its every few days then deal with it.
It's happened twice under the same set of circumstances:
1. Streaming Pandora
2. Charging
Not sure if they're related but it started happening after upgrading to 4.0.2.

if it's mass problem then it's really sad....
why dont you flash 4.0.3 and rule out whether it's 4.0.2 or the phone... if it's the phone i'm assuming you're on GSM, cause if you weren't, you could walk into verizon, switch it out, and have a new one 15 minutes from now.
I had the same problem yesterday, I tought it was a problem with the kaspersky launcher. isn't that a problem of kaspersky?

This is a known issue with certain encoding bit rates on music files. Enable the EQ music effects and it keeps the cpu speed high enough to negate lag, even when screen is off.
Almost all the complains about reboots are connected with 4.0.2 update. Letw wait for 4.0.3. When I was on 4.0.1 no reboots.

[Q] N7 2013 Screen Freezes and Comes Back to Life.

I tried to google any related threads to the symptom that my N7 2013 shows, but so far couldn't find any. So I decided to start a new thread to see if I'm the only one in this.
As the thread title suggests, the screen freezes randomly and comes back to life after a few seconds later. It doesn't seem to be happening continuously, but the interval between one and the next one should be something like half an hour, give or take. Funny thing is, when it happens, it does recognize all the inputs made on the screen while frozen and once the screen starts responding again, everything I have done in the meantime appears on it afterwards such as typing, swiping, etc.
I suspect it started happening after I installed the newest firmware, JLS36I, but can't be sure as I have received in the fairly early stage of rollout--pretty much on the same day Google started rolling it out, which was just a few days after I got my N7 2013.
I've experienced pretty much the exact same issue on mine, build JSS15R, not sure why though?
This happens occasionally on my Nexus 4, running CM10.2...ive read that its an issue with 4.3 all together.
i don't see a 30 min window like you experience. mine is about 10 seconds.
Just loaded last nights update and we'll see if it continues.
On my N7; ive never had it happen.

Didn't know it's a known issue with Android 4.3. But it's somewhat odd that I never had such problems with Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2012 although both are on 4.3. And it seems I was a bit ambiguous or misleading with the description. Mine is also about a few seconds, between five to ten second each, but it seems like it happens every half an hour if I use the device continuously. Is it somewhat similar to your N4?

Same problem
I have the same problem also ... input text, playing game ... one day have around 2 time screen freezing ~ any1 have the solution ?
It seems like you are not alone. Mine is acting just the same. After a continuous gaming there would be this weird frozen screen which would magically turn back to normal and not happening again after maybe around an hour.

Me too. Not frequently but from time to time. Especially when I lay the device down .... Its useless sometimes. I can't believe Google can't fix this. I'm running 15r

I experience the same thing about once for every hour of use. The screen will freeze for about 5 seconds, although the power button is able to turn off the screen the device is otherwise unresponsive.
This was happening in every rom, stock or otherwise for me and I was about to return it then I flashed v10 of Paranoid Android and the problem hasn't reoccurred in 2 days so far. Hoping it stays that way.
Same problem here...
It's the device hanging while it performs an IO operation- the storage on the Nexus 7 isn't particularly fast, though it is faster than the last-gen N7 which was about a million times worse for random device freezes than this model.
Same problem here, was thinking of flashing CM to see if it was any better.
Same issue here, but i notice this today, it was working fine the last couple of weeks after the last update

Random reboots

Hiya folks,
Just wondering if anybody has been experiencing random reboots on the OP3. Have been experiencing em on 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 about twice a day since I got the phone four days ago. Tried a cache wipe/hard reset but to no avail. Haven't been able to reproduce the reboots. Just happen at completely random times, while writing an email, making a call, or connecting to the car Bluetooth. Phone is perfectly responsive and stable otherwise!
Have asked Amazon for a replacement, but I'm wondering if this is something that's been noticed by anybody else. No mods done, completely stock. Running dual sims (Vodafone and Jio VoLTE).
Attaching a screenshot of how the battery page shows the reboots.
Yeah, they happen for me periodically. Not nearly as often as yours though. Mine is maybe once or twice a week max. But yes, slightly annoying.
Phone is completely stock, locked, unrooted. Running 3.2.2.

Haven't had a single random reboot yet, had the phone for about a month now. Started with 3.1.3, then 3.2.1, now 3.2.2, rooted, running xposed (not a lot of modules).
What are you doing when the reboots happen (an app issue)?

It's been all over the place, but often when the screen was actually off! The way I would know would be I'd pick up the phone and see that it asks for the PIN post reboot. If it helps, I've enabled encryption. I also have a work (exchange) email account set up as a device admin
I know there's ways of investigating this with logcats and last_kmsg, but I've had the phone 4 days and I cant imagine why it's spontaneously rebooting while doing literally nothing. Seeing as hardly anybody has had similar reboots (on XDA/OnePlus forums), could this be a hardware issue at all? I could possibly try reflashing the entire phone, but that would essentially be the same as a wiping data/cache, right?
Here's an idea - my LTE data/VoLTE is extremely spotty (on Reliance Jio which is in a beta test stage) - disconnects and connects VERY frequently, could that be triggering reboots at the baseband level? Now throwing ideas at the wall!

Hiya folks,
Just wondering if anybody has been experiencing random reboots on the OP3. Have been experiencing em on 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 about twice a day since I got the phone four days ago. Tried a cache wipe/hard reset but to no avail. Haven't been able to reproduce the reboots. Just happen at completely random times, while writing an email, making a call, or connecting to the car Bluetooth. Phone is perfectly responsive and stable otherwise!
Have asked Amazon for a replacement, but I'm wondering if this is something that's been noticed by anybody else. No mods done, completely stock. Running dual sims (Vodafone and Jio VoLTE).
Attaching a screenshot of how the battery page shows the reboots.

Mine had random reboot issues recently on a trip. It only seemed to happen when I was using Google navigation combined with listening to music on my bluetooth headphones. I haven't tried that combination since the trip and haven't had any reboots since then.

same issue
the reboots are random, and i could only know that the phone has rebooted itself if it ask for a pin upon scanning finger, went to service center and has OS flashed, but the problem still persist, for me some time when the phone hangs, some kind of pixels form on the screen, attaching a sample photo for reference, anybody experiencing this issue or am i the only one, and today the phone has completely stopped working, it is not switching on.

Wow that is substantially worrying, and almost certainly not just a software issue I reckon. Try getting a replacement maybe? - or atleast ask the service folks for a mainboard replacement. Anybody else with reboot issues?
Doesn't really seem to be an OS bug, unless it happens in very niche use cases which I don't have anyway! Getting the replacement on Tuesday, fingers crossed for that one!
My friend and I both got a one plus 3. He does not have this problem but I have.
The reboot is random but usually happens during charging. Sometimes it even turns off.
I have tried to ask for a replacement but they rejected me. Still communicating with the support staffs

Went to service center in Gurgaon, getting a replacement for motherboard, as oneplus policy doesn't give replacement handset, have to SETTLE for this, i dont know how many days this whole process is going to take, will update you guys about it when i get the phone back.
I have the same issue, random reboots usually when screen is off.
3.2.1, root + xposed... for me it started with 3.2.0 update

I experienced a similar scenario twice, only seems to happen on long trips, 3+ hours. I was using Waze with Plex streaming audio over car Bluetooth. I have not had this on shorter trips, 1-2 hours. I'm typically plugged into the dash car charger. Otherwise, haven't had issues. Never rooted 3.2.2.
Situation Update
Got the replacement OP3 on August 9. Have now seen 2 random reboots since. Once while paired to the car Bluetooth, once after finishing a call.
I have till August 19 to decide whether to keep this device or ask for replacement number two! Overall, the reboot situation is a lot better on this device, but I can't help wonder - why any at all?
Seems at this point to either be a bug with the Bluetooth implementation AND/OR with the dual SIM functionality where repeated switching between SIMs for every call. (I use one SIM for calls and texts, another for data)
Can anyone confirm the situation on a custom ROM as opposed to stock? I'm running stock 3.2.2
Aaaaand now we have an ota claiming to fix 'auto-reboot issues' - 3.2.4 :laugh:
The reboots were so sparsely documented compared to the other stuff that I ended up getting a replacement for a s/w issue!
Anyway - you folks reboot free now? Post results with 3.2.4 please
I had three back to back random reboots while using Google Maps and Amazon Kindle in the background. Weird.
I've yet to have a random reboot on 3.2.4
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Got my very first reboot :crying:
I'm on 3.2.4 with bl unlocked, rooted, Xposed, twrp
Had several reboots while driving and navigating on google maps one after the other. Maybe it is to do with the GPS sensor but its annoying coz you need it most when u r navigating turn by turn

Agree. It happens only when I drive with gmaps running on background. When the screen times out, the phone, instead of shutting down the display, goes to hard reboot.
I've never had this issue until I moved to the latest update. Weird. Annoying.
I had my first reboot a few hours ago (with 3.2.4). I was connected to Bluetooth in my Car. Noticed it, as my car told me that mein Phone is now connected. No gmaps or something with GPS runinng.
Looks like Bluetooth is the Problem.
