Kind of a weird question -
I've had some buzzing charger issues with my Nexus 7 LTE and I received the replacement tablet in the mail today. When I turn it on, it does something where it shows the same Android screen that you get when you do an OTA update, except the message is that it's "Erasing" instead of the usual "Updating blabhlabhalbhalhb". I haven't seen this happen on the first tablet that I received, and I've combed through many unbox/setup videos and this hasn't shown up anywhere. Everything boots up fine afterwards - it goes to the rainbow x, and then the welcome screen, but it bothers me that I can't find any information on what it was doing. Does anyone have any ideas?

It's probably the NSA-app erasing it's tracks. Nothing to worry about.
When I recieved my Nexus 7 4G LTE it did the same exact thing with the "Erasing" message. I bought it from the USA through a friend and the box was not sealed but the tablet itself was sealed so I asked my friend and he told me DHL and customs always open boxes for security reasons. I was also concerned about the "Erasing" message but the tablet was perfect in almost every way so I didn't bother and now you made it clear it is normal

Its happened twice that i can remember now.
This morning in bed I grabbed the phone, deleted some emails, opened the browser and the screen went blank with the sound of a slight crackle. It then instantly revooted (google logo popped up etc).
Im concerned the phone is faulty. Is it likely just one of those things or does it sound more sinister?
Hope somebody can advise.
Mine rebooted once the other day. I don't necessarily think that the phone is faulty, it just has bugs that need ironing out.

it's just the apps
it can happen with any android device
just keep an eye on which app is causing it
you can pull out the logs and scan through it
I've been having the same thing as the OP. I get "Android is Upgrading" when it restarts, too.
In additiona I've seen (several times now) that when I press the power button to turn the screen on, it wont accept any input. After 30 minutes or so it spontaneously restarts and goes to the "Android is Upgrading" message when it restarts.
I'm on the verge of RMI'ing the thing as some of the other guys in the office who have it have not had the same problems.
I'm running vanilla sim free version, no operator tat installed.

Are you running a totally unmodified stock rom or have you flashed a custom rom/kernel/radio to it? Kernels are still being worked on and arent perfect yet.
Also Android 4 is still very new and alot of apps are not fully compatable and subject to crashing or crashing the system.
Everything will be ironed out in time

Hi all,
I purchase my Samsung Galaxy Nexus from 3 (Three) UK Store last Thursday. It has been faultless bar the odd hang which taking the battery out has resolved. Im using it on Orange.
However, this morning I picked up my phone and was notified I had the volume bix fix update.
I downloaded and installed the update and all was well for about 20 minutes.
Then my phone started going crazy!
I think its something to do with the screen as it keeps popping up the google search bar and flicking through some options, then the screen stops responding.
Sometimes the phone flicks between home screens partially and make them jiggle!
Locking and unlocking the phone gives me 5-30 seconds of normal use, then the phone goes crazy or just doesnt respond.
Ive turned the phone off and on, removed the battery and even reset it this evening.
It doesnt do it ALL the time, and whenever I try and do it on queue, it doesnt!
Luckily tonight I got video of the phone going crazy.
Can anyone help?
The phone is bog standard, ie no roms/roots etc.
Should I take it back or is there something I can do?
Also, since ive just reset the phone, ive had to set up my mail. Once the phone behaved I put in my account details and then it started popping up the menu button at the top of email, ie to change folders or accounts etc. Deffinately seems to be something with the top of screen.
Thanks

Please check the video out.
Maybe download the original shipping rom from Google and fastboot the image onto the phone and see if the behaviour continues.

This.
There's links to the original roms with or without the volume fix in place which can be found on the development section. I used this to update my gun and its working just fine. I'm also on Three UK and the reason I did this is because even though the volume bug doesn't affect us three users I still like being 100% up to date.

So my Gnex has been working fine since I got it (I am not sure exactly when but it was relatively soon after it came out). I unlocked it but never ended up flashing any ROM or anything. The only issue I've had with it has been that since I installed Google Drive on it about once every hour it asks me if I want it to use Gmail or Drive to perform an action without any other prompt.
Current Problem: The phone will not boot without being plugged in. However, when I do get it to turn on, it gets stuck at the Google logo screen. Something is definitely wrong at this step because a few times the word Google seemed to be popping up all around the screen and shaking around. A few other times at this step the word Google disappeared and then very slightly green stripes started rolling up the screen and slowly getting narrower.
I figure it is probably dead, and I was not able to find any other threads on this but I figure it is worth seeing if anyone else has encountered this.

nothing exactly meaningful, just wanted to mention in case other people had similar experience.
well also it may have implications after the next OTA / post-root-if-that-happens
for reference: to be safe, for a while now I have had both of the known IPs blocked on my router.
- maybe a week ago, tried to scroll into Home->Recent and got a solid blue screen for 5-10 seconds. didn't touch the device, it auto-reboots, then everything ok. version number unchanged still etc_02.etc like we all have.
- few days after that, Prime TV was playing and kept playing fine, but usb went sideways. reconnecting usb, power looked ok but still nothing. tv app kept playing 100% fine just no HID. stupidly did not try the remote. recycled power, and got stuck at (white-logo)amazon screen. power-off, wait a while, tried a few more times and always stuck at (white-logo)amazon screen.
-- removed the 2 blocked URLs from my router and booted, everything back to normal. (version number still same etc_02.etc)
wasn't even going to bring all of this up, who knows I may have a flaky KFTV, but then
- today got the solid blue screen again trying to scroll Home->Recent*. as before, box eventually rebooted itself, without having to do anything, and everything normal again. (and this with both IPs still re-unblocked)
if nothing else reminded me to re-block both URLs lol. but it is a very small and random sample size so far.
semi-weird: the first blue screen, and the usb breakage, both very hot days here, it almost could have been temp-related (but box did not feel warmer than usual) - but then blue screen today is bad weather / cold here, so yeah probably not.
*since it happened same way both times, could easily just be some bug about Recent, or in the KFTV Launcher

This started to happen to me about a week ago did you ever get it sorted out.
Hey guys, I am brand new on this site, and not a tech person in the least, to my detriment. Ok, here is my story: yesterday after work, I was on my Note II talking to my wife. When I hung up, I went in to my local Sprint store because I noticed that my 3-year old phone was having some issues, including (1) an error message popping up whenever I clicked on google that said "unfortunately google search has stopped - that had occurred for a couple days before yesterday; (2) a message that would pop up whenever I re-booted my phone that said something like "UID Partitions Inconsistent" with a message underneath of "I'm feeling lucky," which I had to click on as it was the only way to get to my home screen - that had occurred over the weekend; and (3) the 90 some voice mails I had in my voice mail all disappeared yesterday morning, replaced by 3 or 4 "welcome to Voicemail" voice mails, as if I had just bought the phone.
So, I go in to the Sprint store, I click the side button so I can get to the shut down or restart screen, and I hit restart. From that moment forward, my phone has gone completely dark and dead. The Sprint techs couldn't get it to turn on, they tried every combination of pressing buttons, and they tried turning it on with the USB cable - there was and is absolutely no activity on my phone. The battery had been newly charged, so it has about 90% juice. I have done some google research and it looks like a hard bricked phone? The thing is, I never rooted my phone (quite frankly, I don't even know what that means), I didn't "flash" ROM on it (whatever that means too - I am only now familiar with those terms based on my brief research), or do anything else differently with it than I have for the past three years. I am stressed out because I had about 400 pics on there that were not backed up. I just want to get it restored, if only temporarily, to get my pics back, or even just a portion of them.
Is there any remedy whatsoever, or am I screwed?? Please help! Thanks!
