Chrome issues in Nexus 7 (2013) after reboot. - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I have had the tablet for couple of weeks now without any issues. 4 days back I shutdown my tablet first time during the night and turned it back on next morning. It won't boot, got stuck on nexus logo. Hard rebooted. It happened the same way next day. But not any more since yesterday. I shutdown and restart every morning without any issues. But chrome has been misbehaving since then. I can't use the browser longer than 5 mins or so. It just hangs and throws the not responding dialog. Sent the error report couple of times. Tried clearing cache, reinstalling etc. Did not help. Tried many sites, happens with every single site, so not an issue with a particular web site. Very weird. Can't use the browser at all. Frustrating. Any one else facing such issues? Any help? thanks.

Happens to me too. This is a complete guess, but I think it's software related. Chrome Beta hasn't really given me the same issue, if you wish to stick with Chrome.
I'd like to stay positive and believe that the next update for Chrome will reduce the lag.

I factory reset my device now. Did not help. Totally broken browser. It was perfectly alright first few days. Can't use the browser at all now.

Can someone please confirm. Not sure of its my device, but it's not random freeze. Chrome consistently freezes within few seconds of starting it 100% of the time. It wasn't the case when I got the tablet. I can't use the browser at all literally.

How does it respond to other browsers like Dolphin or Boat?

Crashing issues possible cause

I just had another crash replying to a post here using tapatalk. The keyboard had small pink corruptions as if video memory had an issue.
I pulled the battery for about 10 seconds, tried to turn it back on. No dice. I tried again except pulled the sim as well, that worked.
Maybe some of us having crashes are sim related?

I've had to do a second battery pull today. Phone locks up then about 5 seconds later the display goes dark. Not fun.

I froze twice in the past three days. I was using hand cent and browsing. The battery had to be pulled in order for restart.

Yesterday I noticed GetJar was keeping the device awake (in battery stats), but otherwise it was responsive and all good. I uninstalled GetJar and rebooted for good measure. It powered down fine, but wouldn't power back up. I had to pull the battery.
My first 'battery pull' so far!
I had my first crash today while I was replying to an SMS message. The screen produced these broken specs of green.
I couldn't exit from the SMS, eventually the screen turned itself off and then nothing.
I had to perform a battery pull to fix.
When the phone booted back up ICS complained that the launcher had crashed.
Instead of clicking 'stop' I clicked 'wait'.
Phone returned to normal after that.

Did you guys restore old apps/app data from your previous Android device? If so, factory reset and START FRESH.
I can't count the people I know that had issues all stubbornly because they refused to start fresh from a new device.

I didn't use a restore. I just added my Google account and let the phone download my apps that I more or less had from my Nexus One.
Is that OK to do?
Or should I have done something else??
Let me know, Thanks.

This is how it works. When you login all the apps install automatically.
I just noticed this morning that a bunch of apps I had uninstalled already on my GN automatically reinstalled. Odd right?

If you have "force 2d rendering" checked in the developer settings, that will cause many issues.

I don't have any dev options on. I'm basically seeing what others are. Lockup, sometimes with screen corruption, then the display eventually goes black some short amount of time afterward. Battery pull required. I thought it may be heat related at one time but it has happened when the device was relatively cool. Seems like a software driver issue that can hopefully be addressed.

It happened to me two times yesterday. (stock)
1- While in a phone call (poor reception)
2- While listening to Pandora.
Root and Upgrade to 4.0.3
Take a look at this ROM, you won't be disappointed:
rootzwiki.com/topic/11455-rom-android-open-kang-project-maguro-build-16a/
Same happened to me just a few moments ago, on stock 4.0.2
Depending on how annoying it gets I may have to flash a 4.0.3 rom.
(Who am I kidding.. I'll probably do that anyways within the week)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I'm getting them, too. 3X in the last 2 days. 5X since I bought the phone back before Christmas. I'm 4.0.2 stock.
Happened once when my alarm went off, once when I exited my RSS app, and the other times were when the phone was just sitting "idle".
Stock 4.0.3 OTA...where art thou?

Random reboot

Anyone else experiencing random reboots? I have had one so far when using chrome.

I'm beginning to wonder.
For me, I haven't caught it. But I use Sidebar and RoundR which have stupid notifications. I hide the notifications but they return after every reboot... And I'm finding them on more often then I would like.
So either the device is rebooting, or there is a problem with the Hide Notifications sticking.
Typically reboots are issues with the kernel. I doubt it is hardware. If it weren't for the notifications, I wouldn't even suspect it. Could be more wide spread then people are noticing.
I would advise everyone to keep a watch on it. I'm looking for an app that says when the last boot was. Android settings > Status shows uptime. Mine shows 14 hours, which would be accurate since I unlocked and all that jazz.
Could just be an incompatibility with 4.3 or the app in general.
I'll just wait and see.

Freezing.

Does anyone have their tablet freeze randomly for a bit, and make it unresponsive for a while (few seconds)?
Or is this the touch screen issue everyone is talking about?
Occasionally, but then again, my first n7 does this loads, as well as my phone, probably an android problem Tbf, every device I've used, including apple products have occasional few seconds of hold ups

I've noticed this on mine as well... I think it has to do with the touchscreen issues. In some spots, I'll tap and there is a few milliseconds delay. In other spots, the taps are recognized immediately.

Mine has a few times on the YouTube app earlier today. First time experiencing it. Unresponsive and gets stuck. Can't even press back button soft key.
Clearly apps fauit since I press home and it goes back to normal. I have to kill the app nd restart again for it to work

me too...
but only when typing in the facebook app with Swiftkey (swiftkey seems to crash sometime... after 5-6 seconds freezing)
but it happened to me only 2 or 3 times in the last week.
Yup, this happens to me frequently, Especially when using Chrome. Freezes for about 10secods then resumes.

Use Chrome Beta as your default and just disable Chrome Stable. It doesn't happen on the Beta builds at all. The most recent Chrome Stable update has an issue within it.
yes this happens, and even turning the screen off won't register. it's a system wide freeze, not a touch screen issue.

This happens to all 4.3 builds including nexus 4...its a fault with aosp not device

Yes but only when in GMail compose mode.

yeah exactly my problem.
For me, the freezing occurs while I am using a browser such as dolphin or Chrome.
The devs in the Nexus 4 section have decided it has to do with the JSS build of 4.3 which is what we have as stock. Its not device specific and looks to be a big problem.
Link to their devs only discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399089

The freeze goes away for me with an alternate kernel.
I'm using Faux's and it's not doing it.
YMMV, of course.

[Q] My Magazine Not Responding All the time

Hey everyone,
I don't even use My Magazine but it stops responding all the time. Like 3 or 4 times a day. And everything freezes for a few seconds every time it does.
Anyone else hear of this / know of a solution? A friend told me it's a known issue with using the Nova launcher, but I was just searching for this known issue and I can't find a thread about it anywhere.
yes me too I thought it happened after I tried to unintelligible it and other bloat with titanium nd things started force closing so I restored them....wither way though same happens to me

well at least i'm not alone haha. i haven't done anything to try to disable or hide it. i'm not even rooted or anything yet. i just haven't used it since the day i got the phone 2 weeks ago and yet since the past 3 or 4 days it's been popping up not responding at random.
i just started suffering from this problem and i can't fix it. My Magazine freezes and crashes when i'm not even using it and it does this very often. This makes the phone lock up for a couple seconds. Very annoying.

Ditto, I believe it's happening to all note 3s, I remember reading about this same issue weeks ago when I first got my phone

Go to setting - General - Application manager - all - find my magazine - clear data and cache - force stop - restart your phone. This is how I fixed it. I hope it helps you.
Ps: this fixed the crashing issue but it's still very laggy at first start then is good.

Blaster - did what you mentioned, but next day came back! I hope they do an update soon to fix this! It sucks they force this app on us and it is not stable.
