I didn't have this problem after I installed Triune II, but if you suspect the ROM is related, do a backup and install a different ROM to see if that resolves the problem..... just a thought and takes less than 5-10 min.

What does the screen look like in download mode or in CWM?

[HELP] HOT REBOOTS ON CM10 and AOKP

So I flashed AOKP JB Milestone 1, and it ran great (fast, smooth, etc). However, after about 10 minutes of using it I started getting Hot Reboots about every 10 minutes. I could not figure out how to fix it, so I decided to flash the latest CM10 Nightly, and it was the same issue, ran fine for 10 minutes then started Hot Rebooting every minute or two. I could not fix it in CM10 either.
Because of this I had to go back to my modified Stock Nandroid. I do not want to be using stock anymore though and would really like to figure out what was causing these Hot Reboots. I made sure to clear my Wallet Data before I flashed the new roms...I did clean installs with wiping the phone multiple times...
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be going on here? Is there a superwipe zip for the d2tmo that might help?
ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED!

Wipe data factory reset, wipe system flash ROM of choice then instal ONE app at a time and test it for about an hour or more. Should help solve your issue.

Make sure you're using a compatible kernel. Then try other ones as well.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

well when i flashed the roms that flashes the normal kernel for that rom so that shouldnt be the issue.
i will be trying again soon so i will let you all know how it goes. thanks for input.
anyone else have any ideas keep em comin!

Yeah, I just wanted to throw that out there since a lot of people don't stick with the kernel thst comes with the rom. If you're still having trouble id say try elesbbs suggestion a few posts back.
Good luck!

4th time I had to factory restore. This is unbelievable.

Had my N72013 for 2 weeks now, and it boot loop'd four times on me twice in one day.
This can't be only happening to me.
I ordered from Google (big mistake), their rep said they can send me a new model but I would have to pay for it (dock the amount) first then once I receive it, send in my current model then wait to get my $$$ back.
Is this an issue with 4.3 or the device. I really don't want to return it if this problem could be patched away with an update...
Forgot to mention, I'm unlocked and rooted. 32gigs. No dead pixels, minor light bleed that doesn't bother me at all.
What would you do?

If its boot looping that's not normal obviously you know that so I would exchange it. Keep swapping until you get a good one.

wha?? I would return immediately.

Yea I don't know why its boot looping either. Maybe your factory images are corrupt and thus you keep restoring a bad image. Perhaps you have a bad sector in your memory.
You could test it by flashing a non-stock rom, such as CM10.2 which also uses a CM kernel.
Use it for a few days and See if the problem goes away or stays.
Either way, reflash stock using the Google Nexus 7 images. If the problem stays, then take it back. If it fixes it, then keep it.

Thought I'll give you an update.. Installed CM10.2 for a few days, as you said.. No issues what so ever. Decided to try my luck with CoolRom and it bootlooped the moment I rebooted.
Decided on doing a complete wipe of the device and flashing a factory rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582 ).
Don't want to give up hope yet.

Not sure why you would need to root this device. Its straight android and runs great without root or custom ROM.

There are tons of apps that require root access and are mandatory for many people including me.

I wouldn't bother to unlock and root. The N7 is flawless and fast out of the box.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Again, root access is required for most decent backup programs and cloud data syncing apps. The issue doesn't require a debate about whether you need root or not. Yes the N7 is wicked fast and if you only use it as a bathroom reader for Facebook and light use, then that's cool. I like OTG support for my thumb drives when I'm in the field working.
Glad CM is working for you. That at least shows it isn't a hardware problem. I'd reflash stock images and see where that leaves you. Worse case you use CM (oh my!) until we see a patch.
It sounds like it just has a corrupted stock image. Kernels typically cause the reboots but a bad app or system file can too.
If you flash stock back and you still have issues, try just flashing a modified stock kernel (stock rom/custom stock kernel). CM has its own kernel which might be why it was working better.
You also should do a complete wipe between stock and CM and AOSP and vice versa. It typically bootloops if you dirty flash one type of rom over another. Stock and AOSP are pretty much the same thing but some custom ROMs like CM have different structures that hose you.

I flashed a stock image unroot, relocked. The process went without a hitch. Then I unlocked and rooted, flashed clean ROM, tried to see if I would get it to bootloop and it hasn't! Must've been a corrupt image.
I just want to thank you again, your advice saved me a lot of time and hassle with Google.

I do not understand the hassle with Google.
I told them yesterday to get a new device, as wireless charging does not work. I talked max 10 minutes on the phone and I received an email 2 minutes after saying that I'll get a new device.
Yes, they will charge you "temporarily" for this, but you do not have to pay anything.
Anyway, it's me, I found it easy with Google.

Mine bootlooped today. Stock. No root or anything. I was forced to do a factory reset from recovery. Very troubling that this seems to be happening to a few people. There's a couple of threads over on android central of people having the same problem.

Super glad its worked. It worked for me. It worked for another guy. And worked for you. I think there is a bad rom image flashed on all of these that are causing lots of problems. The only fix is to clean slate and reflash the stock image, or move to custom ROMs.
Probably need to get someone to write a little app that just automates flashing the stock image again just for simplicity.
I'll probably create a new thread covering this.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The stock images and the install script .bat file is simple enough.
Especially if you're rooted already. Since you already have the drivers installed on your computer.
Toolkits need to die a slow painful death.

You need root access a pen drive using an OTG cable, install app like titanium backup etc. Rooting doesn't mean custom rom or kernel

[Q] SGH T889 PA ROM issues

Hello, I have the T-Mobile (SGH-T889) Note 2, and I flashed version 3.99 of ParanoidAndroid ROM from Galaxy Note 2 root.com, a few weeks back. While I love the features, I am having a few issues with it.
1. It’ll randomly reboot the phone.
2. A lot of times, the System UI will force close, along with a few other apps.
3. Someone else mentioned the slow typing, I am also experiencing this problem. It just cannot simply keep up.
4. The sound is VERY LOW. On any and everything, and at the maximum volume setting despite it being low, there is a lot of distortion in the speaker.
5. It’ll tell me that y SD card is damaged one day, but then it’s not the next and I still have all my files.
Other than these 5 issues, I love this ROM. I don’t know if I flashed it the wrong way but, it’s getting aggravating and making me wish that I never left the TouchWIZ ROM I previously had.
Also, I just noticed that in the section About Phone, it says GT-N7105. I don't know how that may have happened, or if that may be the issue.
Hopefully someone can assist me in getting this issue resolved. Thanks in advance.

Switch to neak kernel to fix the sound and see if the others go away at the same time. most those should be fixed with a different kernel

Thanks again... I assume that I'd need to download "v1.6x CM10.1 & Derivates Zip" for my device correct?
Sorry if I'm asking a lot, I'm new to the whole Kernel flashing world, and I don't want to mess up my phone.

XDA Premium 4 app

Has anyone one else been having trouble with the XDA Premium or even the free app? Mine have been becoming increasingly hard to deal with. Not connecting, full of lag etc. I thought it may have been AdFree and reverted my host file but that hasn't helped so I guess it's something else. Tapatalk seems to be messed up too. Just wondering if it's just me or if there is something else going on.

Tapatalk Premium is working fine for me at the moment.

Yeah honestly the xda app has always been kinda bad because they take the tapatalk app and then restrict it to one forum which they don't really do properly.
I'm still using the older xda app and it's very picky about where I can click and stuff. Not that this helps the question in the OP in any way haha.

I've been looking for some kind of alternative but so far I haven't found anything I like.

I didnt even know there was an app I never looked

XDA servers? Both tapatalk and xda apps giving me fits. Thought it was my wifi cause turning off wifi will *sometimes* help get a connection to the server. Wifi always work for internet. Have no problems accessing other forums with tapatalk?

A while back I was having issues with both Tapatalk, and XDA Premium. Lag, crashes, and random freezes. The only thing that solved it was un installing both. Booting into Recovery, wiping caches, and rebooting. Then I installed both apps again fresh. That seemed to resolve it for me.
