What could it be? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

My phone phone has shut down twice today for not apparent reason.
Once I had it sitting on my desk and the second time it was in my pocket.
I saw a video that it might be the battery connectors but in my case I was not able to replicate it.
So what else could it be?

I have been running stock rooted for a few months now and never had an issue until just a few days ago.
Running 4.2.1 + rooted nothing else flashed or changed.

As stated by another user, occasional reboots are "normal" on 4.2.1 but twice a day is a bit ridiculous.
If I may suggest a substitute ROM in which I don't really experience any reboots, it is pretty much stock with tweaks, no AOKP, CM10, PA, eye candy, just a fast stable ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821673

Yeah I really wouldn't mind a soft reboot or even a reboot once in a while but I have had 3 shut-offs in the last 2 days it wasn't even a reboot, which makes me wonder if it's hardware rather than software.
Thanks for the suggestion but at this point I really don't want to flash a ROM, I will most likely end up coming back to stock at some point if I do.

I found that uninstalling the last couple apps I installed stopped the sleep of deaths.

Double check that your kernel settings are stock and you haven't done any tweaks that could cause kernel panic

"Download unsuccessful"

Whenever I download something with the browswr, it always goes to 99% then instead of saying download complete.
It shows download unsuccessful.
This has happened on wifi, 4g lte, and 3g. I always had signal when I downloaded the files. I've had this problem on stock 4.0.2 and CM9 kang (current rom).
Is this a known issue that all galaxy nexus owners experience? Or is it just me? Please help... can't download anything with my phone...

Yes. I feel in ics, there's no real need for third party browser so I always use the stock browser.

I have this problem and i agree it shouldn't happen but, as a work-around, what i do is go to the download folder in App drawer and "retry" the download. I would say i get over a 95% success rate by "retrying" downloads.

Yeah, sometimes I have to retry like 5 times.
I have this problem as well. I just keep retrying till it succeeds. Not a huge deal since 4G is decent in my area.

All this talk is useless without posting whether or not you've installed a custom rom or kernel.
I had the issue on some old franco/aokp versions. seems to have gone away now.
OK...
I was running Franco/cm9 kang when I had my problems.
Now that I'm on gummy and the included kernel, the problems have yet to surface.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks for all the info guys.
I really like cm9 kang so I do not want to flash other roms.
But clearing the browser data has helped!
Until now it has successfully downloaded everything on the first try . So thanks again

Screenshots In XDA Threads Problem..

I am having problems with all of the screenshots showing up in the XDA forums. I am talking about XDA Premium on my GS2.
Let's say someone posted a new ROM with screenshots of what it looks like. Normally, as you scroll down the posting, the images of the screenshots will pop up. That doesn't happen for me. I get a small box where the image usually goes, but there is nothing there. I am on my home wifi, so it's not a bad data connection. Any help would be great... Thanks a million!

Yes, I'm currently on CM9 alpha 4, but this has always been an issue even back to gingerbread ROMs. It's not a huge deal, just annoying when I am trying to see what something looks like on my phone. Once I get home, I'm flashing TDJ's beta 7. Who knows if that will fix the issue? I guess it's not just me that has this problem.... Thanks for the imput.

K, found what's wrong, be sure to uncheck force gpu rendering in your developer options
Sent with AOKP goodness
I agree about the force gpu rendering causing the screen shots to disappear. Actually I turned off forced gpu rendering due to Flipboard not being compatible and the side benefit was screen shots suddenly started appearing again

[Q] Problems after flashing

Yesterday I flashed TW JellyBean 747, ever since my battery has died in about 5 hours, my phone gets hot and the screen guess crazy. Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Did you do a full wipe before flashing? It sounds like you have conflicting software running the processor crazy. In any case i would do a full wipe and reinstall the ROM again, if the problem persists then your phone may not like that particular ROM.

Try downloading romtoolbox lite (link at bottom) from the market and going to the second tab with cpu manager. Having downloaded these roms before some people set the minimum cpu really high to boost the benchmarks of their rom. If its high turn it down. It might help. Don't forget to slap that thanks button

AOKP Jelly Bean Build 5 - What does everyone think of it?

Just put build 5 on my S2, and I gotta say, its pretty amazing. Its a lot smoother, and has some more options. But mostly, there is a noticeable difference of smoothness and look. I was crashing once or twice a day with build 4 as well. So, I am happy. What are your thoughts? Any other Jelly Bean ROMs that are better?

Goomanager. I myself am in love with this release. Everything has been smooth as butter. Implemented the usual build.prop tweaks for graphical glitches. CPU settings are all stock ondemand/cfq, went for 20-21 hours yesterday with 3-3.5 hours screen on time and that was my first cycle!! Of course no RR or SoDs either. Can't wait to see what whitehawk has in store for this update!

I noticed it in Goo yesterday, haven't flashed it yet though I think I'm still going to wait for the updated SBean.
This is the first aokp rom that I have tried and I am very happy with it. Everything is very smooth and fast. The only problem that I have with it is the lock screen. When I hit the power button the screen comes on really bright for about a second then goes back to the normal brightness level that I have it at. I usually have have it on the lowest setting. It doesn't always happen but most of the time it does. Anyone know how to fix this?

What are you using for a radio? Sounds like something is sucking the life out of your battery or you're in an area with crap reception and your radio is draining your battery trying to get a good signal. I myself am using uvle1 for a radio. I've had nothing but bad experiences using uvlh1.

Build 5 is working great for me. No issues so far and been running it for over a day. Using it with custom Kernel and OC. I must admit that its very smooth. My battery seems very good, wasting about -6%/hr, with WIFI on the whole time and messing with the phone constantly.

Honestly, I invested way too much time into customizing PA 2.54 (the last 4.1 Rom by PA) just how I want it and I haven't found a reason to change it. I just don't have the time anymore unfortunately to keep up with all the amazing and rapid development that xda chefs keep putting out
I did really miss photosphere though so I just wanted that.

Yeah it's not just the paprefs, it's everything else too. Just don't have the time to experiment too much anymore sadly. I'm happy with it till the new Nexus comes along
Nothin wrong with 4.2.1 IMO. I've actually thought about goin back because with it my Gnex got about twice the battery life than I'm getting with 4.2.2. I've tried almost every Rom and kernel too. Used to get about 7hrs screen time with my 3800mAh, now I get about 4 ever since 4.2.2. But I do like alot of the improvements tho so idk...Jus my opinion.
