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.
I love this phone. But it freezes. A lot.
Mine does, my workmates does, as does my friends. So that's three people including myself and all of our phones are faulty. They are using stock roms and kernels. I'm using MCR, but I've experienced it on stock, and every other rom that I've tried. The absolute longest uptime I've seen is probably 2 days, and it reboots even when it's just sitting on my desk doing nothing. Does yours?
Edit:
I also use stock kernels, no OC/UV
No mine is very stable. I have up time of over 1000 hours before I rebooted my phone.

Have never had my phone freeze. Rare reboot on 4.02 and no reboots on 4.04 so far.

Not any longer
I did do (lock-ups, battery pulls), yes - when I was on ITL41D. But not since I got the ICL53F update. I think that ITL41F was susceptible to lock-ups too, from memory.
Nope. Not on stock or otherwise. Only reboots I have had is when I undervolted too much, other then that, rock soild.

Mine has been fine other than with UV Kernels and UVing too much. But, I mean, duh.
OP...list your apps that you have downloaded.
Most likely an app not liking ics is the culprit.

Nope.

Slacker.com - which i love - causes my phone to revoot everytime i use it. Nothing else jas done it before. I agree, i bet there is a common app causing the problem.
I had random reboots in stock with NO apps installed but since updating to 4.0.4 haven't had anymore. If your phone locks up, instead of pulling the battery try holding power and both volume keys to force a restart.

The only time it's happened to me was with the Chrome Beta. Did it twice, batt pulled, then did it a third time (after I was playing with the phone for an hour after the second reboot). Basically, fired up Chrome, went to a page, crash, reboot.
Uninstalled, wiped, no issues.

I thought the same since going to 4.0.4. But as I was At dinner last night, I had the phone on the table and saw it reboot. And thanks for the tip, I never knew that you could force a reboot like that - I will test next time
As for the apps that I have installed, I went a bit nuts during the Google sale recently, so there are quite a few.
But the apps that I use regularly are:
Whatsapp, Kakaotalk, stock browser and Google chrome (not chromes fault since I've only just started using it), Instafetch, Alarm Clock Extreme, Facebook, RSA Secure ID, Gmail, Tasker (have tried turning this off, no difference), camera, gallery, YouTube, phone, Lastpass, TripView, Trackball Alert Pro (also tried removing this, no diff), SwiftKey X (tired removing this - no diff), Root Explorer, Titanium Backup Pro, ROM Manager Pro
Apps that have running services:
WhatsApp, TelstraOne, Tasker, Trackball Alert Pro, KakaoTalk, Dropbox, SwiftKey X, misc Google services, HaxSync
There have bpeen times when one or another app has been removed to troubleshoot the issue (At one point I thought it was Juicedefender).
Stiill no dice.
This sucks!
Not regularly but yeh this happened to me yesterday, screen wouldn't come on and had to pull battery. Nearly shat myself because the last time that happened it went into a boot loop and I had to wipe my phone, luckily it didn't this time!
My GNex doesn't regularly reboot, but when it does, its always while its charging and while I'm in the messaging app. In fact, just a few hours out of the box. No additional apps, etc. Stock. The messaging app seems to not be as stable as it should be. When it does start to reboot, it freezes and has a glitchy screen with black lines in random places =/.
mine seems to freeze on the lock screen quite a lot. the physical buttons work but the soft buttons don't and the screen is unresponsive to touch commands to unlock ( i have the slide pin screen).
this has happened around 4 times in as many months thought - so not a major problem. it does, however, randomly power cycle sometimes - even when not in use at all!
The only time any of my Android phones ever have freezing or reboot issues is when I screw with the kernel and clock speeds. I haven't messed with the kernels or clock speeds on my nexus and haven't experienced any rebooting or freezing.
Just my $0.02.
Mine does on stock as well annoying when u are showing off to Steve's followers.

My CDMA/LTE version is stock/locked. I've had it for about 2 weeks and it's bootlooped twice that I know of. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ does the same thing from time to time.
I searched the AT&T Galaxy S III General forum and saw no other posts similar. Essentially, I was wondering if anyone had experienced other bugs in the stock firmware. I am not rooted and have not modified my phone's software from stock.
There are two bugs I currently have seen. One I can and will provide screenshots of. This is where during the lockscreen the formatting will be incorrect, such that the last number on the time will be small and the charging text appears on the same line. Also note that the lockscreen shortcuts at the bottom are spaced oddly. I always have five icons, yet sometimes only 3 or 4 show spaced unevenly. I can reproduce this by watching Netflix and while a video is playing, I lock the screen. When I first unlock it, this will happen. This will fix itself if I relock the screen and wake the device again.
The second bug is in the messaging app. Sometimes when my device falls asleep by itself while I have the keyboard up and active on a thread, and I wake it, the keyboard is unusable. I can click on the message block to bring up the keyboard, but all of my keystrokes are not entered into the message block. I have to back out of the keyboard and thread, to the thread list, then go back to the thread. My previous keystrokes are still not showing, but the keyboard will then work.
Anyone else noticed any bugs?
I'm fine on my phone

I've had the second bug happen with the keyboard maybe a handful of times since I got the phone but definitely not a regular occurrence.
I wouldnt worry too much about it but if it bothers you that bad just try a factory reset.

I've only experienced this issue that you describe. I've gotten used to it, so I'm now indifferent towards it.
I've had issues with the battery life however and how the actual "percentage" is being reported, but I think that it's just Jelly Bean that is causing the issue when my device is restored to stock setup as opposed to running ICS. Sometimes, my phone gets really warm overnight (and I can assure you that nothing is running in the background). Looking at the battery graph, I see a sharp drop within the space of about 20 minutes. This causes the back cover of my phone to be discolored. My i747 is only 5 weeks old and I'm the original owner.
phone minimizes
I have an issue where my phone screen turns off when I'm it for a while (typically at work I use a wired headset). When I wake the phone up and swipe on the lock screen, the phone shows the phone "app" for a second then it jumps to the home screen (as if I hit the home button). Typically I'm unlocking the phone so I can either hit a number on the phone (like, press 1 for English) or I'm wanting to hang up. So I have to go back into the phone application to do either task.
ICS didn't do that to me.
Me and a few others have experienced a bug where the external sd unmounts itself at random. Mostly when the screen goes to sleep. For one freezing the MTP application with tibu solved his sd problem but by doing that you cant mount your phone to a pc. As far me nothing has helped yet. My external sd just unmounts at random and I have to remove it and put it back several times to get it to work again and sometimes and I have to format it in the pc to get it to work again. This has happened to a a lot of tmobile users. I never noticed this problem on ics so im assuming its a jb problem. Its not a micro sd card being bad because it does it with my other cards to and one is a very expensive Samsung card..

I think this has happened to me once or twice. But I guess with the scarcity it's happened I thought I was bumping the back button or home button with my face, i.e. a failure of the proximity sensor to correctly detect my face.
I just started noticing the Keyboard Messaging bug myself. Wasn't sure why it was happening.
I just remembered (or refreshed my memory since my phone just started doing it) that whether or not TalkBack is off or on, my phone needs to tell me which number screen I am whenever I slide my finger across the dots at the bottom of the home screen or the app drawer. Is this a different setting I am missing or is this another bug?
I have had the messaging bug occur a couple of times. No biggee to me considering it has only happened twice in a month's time. I have seen other phones with much more persistent and annoying bugs and by comparison, this is nothing.
no problems here... i like it a lot now
Problem on Stock/root
Hey, not sure if this is the right place for this post, but my GS3 is on stock jelly bean and rooted. For some reason I am not receiving incoming calls. I tried calling my phone from gmail and the phone rings, but nothing happens on my phone. Any ideas as to why this is

I'm not sure if this is the right place either, since this is generally non-rooted, although the topic doesn't specify that I suppose.
However, I would venture a guess that you may need to wipe your data and cache. Sounds like a default app issue to me.
If I use bluetooth headphones on my walk to work, then plug in wired headphones at work, the audio plays out of the speaker.
It's really annoying because it happens every morning (as it's too early for me to remember things like that) and blasts my podcasts to my coworkers. Removing the wired headphones and reinserting fixes the issue.
No issues here.

Actually, I've had a similar issue. I use Google Play Music (as a carry-over from my Nexus S). When the first song of the playlist would finish (using the headphone jack to play through my car stereo), the second song would start on the phone speaker.
It doesn't seem to happen anymore, but it did directly after the JellyBean update.
PIN Lock Instantly with power button
I am upset that the "Lock Instantly with Power Key" option missing from 4.1.1. I have been searching for a fix, but I must be the only one annoyed by this, or I'm bad at searching.
...
I have a pin lock but am used to a 15 min delay before I need to enter the pin, and being able to push power to shut the screen off at will. That is no longer an option as it always will lock to the PIN screen if the power button is pushed. It is very annoying to me.
Another bug is the Keyboard defaulting Samsung Keyboard on reboot. Every time I restart, I have to go back into settings to select Swiftkey.
Anyone have this problem ? Pulled my phone out of my pocket trying to respond a text msg . When I went to the lockscreen it was stuck and wouldn't respond to my swipe . Held the power button down to bring up the power menu. It wouldn't let me tap the restart button . Battery pull once n start , same thing at lock screen . Did it a second time finally let me swipe to open the phone . Freaking annoyed with this !

Mine does the same thing....
It is very annoying I dont know what to do i have tried different launchers, have used watch dog and monitored apps and nothing seems to work. Watch dog did alert me to some apps that i removed, but the problem persists.
I have a similar issue. However my message app also takes like 15 seconds to start.
If i use the task switcher button, then kill all aps, start messaging, it takes a while for it to actually open.
Now if the app is already started. And i switch back to it, either by pressi g the icon again or by the task switcher then it it responds instantly like it should.
I did not have this problem on the orig firmware and i did not have this problem initially on nk3 after updating. It just startrd happening about a week ago. Clearing messages did nothing. Clearing apps cache did nothing, claering apps data did nothing. Preforming a hard reset via recovery didnt even help with the issue for me.
Anyway, back on track. I have experienced what you are experiencing. Because i know when my txt msg app is "hung" for a few seconds. It literally causes the entire phone to become unresponsive until the app loads. Could this be what you are experiencing also?

I got the same thing happening. When I wake the screen, the screen goes dim, and there is no response. The phone just hangs. I have to pull the battery. The phone gets laggy from time to time and I have to reboot. It's like the ram is bogging the phone. I didn't have this problem before I updated to the the new update. Any ideas for a fix. Thanks in advanced.

Same here, a reboot fixes it for a short time but it goes back to lagging on the home screen. I used to use the FPscanner until it got so annoying, I thought that was the culprit. I put the lockscreen on swipe unlock and sure enough same lag and glitch. I think it has something to do with the apps open in the background. Also noticed connecting to wifi makes the phone stutter for a sec, so maybe the combo of unlocking the phone with a lot of apps running in back and connecting to wifi? IDK but this phone should def. not have this issue!
If you're having reboot problems please post here - if there are problem apps or bad devices out there it would be good to know!
Got a new Nexus 5X yesterday for my partner. Plugged it in and charged all day (oh what patience). 10pm started setup and added account to it. Phone immediately did an update which succeeded. Then it started to install the saved apps from the Google account, about 50 in all. After all the apps were installed I handed it over to her to play and log into all those apps with logins. Tedious.
Within about 30 minutes she tried to take a photo and it rebooted. Then a bit later she was using it and it rebooted again. Before going to be it rebooted a few more times. Then again this morning. There wasn't one particular app or other that was in use when these crashes happened. During the day she saw a message about "Google needs to restart". Also the camera often comes up with an all black screen and can't be used.
I called Google tech support and they wanted to do a factory reset and maybe a cache partition wipe. They would also like to investigate if a rogue app is causing the crashes by using it without any apps installed. Because reinstalling apps is so tedious I decided to have her do a cache partition reset I'm awaiting news. I'm hoping we don't have to do the other... I can't imagine how a bad app could be causing such repeated crashes (well I can, but it just shouldn't happen). That's lame...
It would really help if it was easy to get a crash log and find out the cause - unfortunately unless you're rooted this doesn't seem to be easy, and may well be impossible.
I've been having a lot of similar-sounding issues with my 5X. It's never rebooted while I was using it, but once or twice a day I'll pull it out of my pocket and it will be off, awaiting the unlock pattern to boot up.
The camera has been atrocious as well. I've seen the black screen you describe, tons of rotation lag, hanging, etc. Not just in Camera, but in other apps using the camera (such as when attaching a photo to a Hangout). Hoping this is something software-related and not a hardware problem.
I've had mine spontaneously reboot twice so far, both times I've pulled it out of my pocket and it required the PIN to unlock, then it booted up. I'm a bit concerned, as I have no idea when this happened, and, since it's encrypted a reboot essentially puts me offline until I notice it.
I just now had mine reboot during active use for the first time. I was long-pressing a wifi network in order to forget it (which is another 5x problem I keep having—wifi turns itself off or connects to the wrong networks).
My 5x was working fine and the crashing started happening yesterday...
they only app that i recently installed before the crashes started was firefox... are you guys using firefox by any chance???
Mine is still working fine, I do not have Firefox.
Same problem for me when using Firefox. The phone seems to crash and reboot when loading news websites containing photos and videos.
Not seen the issue when not using Firefox.
I've had my nexus 5x since mid/late November 2015. I've had the problem described below happen prior to today, and more than once.
Today, I cant turn my phone off - it seems to be in the middle of a reboot... the four coloured circles (google logo?) with colours going round and round. I powered it off cos it had started going slow... thought a reboot might fix the problem... but now its not starting and I cant even turn it off or do anything with it.. I've tried pressing the power button, I've tried holding the power button down, and I've tried different combinations... nothing seems to make a difference... (has been in that state of un-useablity for at least 30 mins now)
Anyone else also having wi-fi issues where facebook has an error and "cant connect" ?
I had the same thing happen and returned the phone, it's the only solution I found. I factory reset multiple times, called up Google and they told me to safe boot. Right.. I was completely stock and it rebooted multiple times / day and I know what I'm doing too, for the most part anyway. Got a replacement device and it has not once rebooted no matter what I do. Camera, Chrome random apps caused a reboot, it's not that. It's a defective device and you need to get it replaced period.
I have the same thing and can't sent it back to google because I live outside the US.
I believe it is a manufacture defect as I tried everything with no success really annoying.
Stuck with a brick...

I used my phone completely stock for weeks and had zero issues, whereas I have a friend who ordered and received the phone at the exact same time (likely same mfg batch) and had issues. Difference between us two is that I'm a minimalist and only have about 50 apps installed, and he has a ton that he rarely uses and restores them every time.
I know it seems ridiculous, but having an android phone gives you more customization and your apps more power of the phone, so it's completely feasible for ONE rogue app to destroy performance and/or battery.
You guys might all want to try uninstalling apps one by one and figuring out which apps are killing performance. In particular, check out the running services (developer options -> running services) and see which apps are constantly running, since those are more likely to be the ones causing issues.
For example, I've used firefox (for adblocked browsing) for weeks recently, and can definitely say it's a pretty slow app, so if you're having issues on it, you may want to just use chrome or lightning browser.
I just ordered a replacement as well. Mine would reboot about 1 to 2 times a week right after the fingerprint unlock. Annoying as hell today because I was in the middle of a conf call.
