Hello,
I am a Galaxy Nexus user, non rooted, running Android version 4.3. Yesterday I was running 4.2.2 and everything was fine and running as normal. Keep in mind I never rooted my phone, although I have to others in the past. My Nexus was running pure official 4.2.2. I had been waiting for the 4.3 update and was extremely excited when I was the notification that it was ready for my phone. I quickly downloaded it and then it rebooted the phone, as any update should. That's where everything went downhill. The phone started to lag immediately when I turned it on. It was sputtering and jerking but I just thought it was getting used to the update. Then the phone would loose its onscreen buttons and turn the page that I was looking at full screen (meaning I couldn't press home or back, because they simply just weren't there). Then the phone froze all together and after waiting 20 minutes I finally took the battery out and tried again. The EXACT same thing has been happening ever since yesterday and it has made the phone unusable because it will freeze 5 minutes into turning it on. And we then screen times out, the screen will not turn back on, as if the phone was off, when it is not. I'm very frustrated because the phone was working flawlessly before the update and now I have to use my retired G1 because the phone is that unresponsive. I was just hoping someone could please help me, or has a similar story and could make this known to Google. Thank you for reading, please if you can, help me.

Did you tried a full wipe?

I have not tried that, only because I hoped there would be an alternate way without me having to format anything.

Hi Justin,
I'm also a Galaxy Nexus user and the exact same thing happened to me.
I guess you already did a full wipe or threw your phone in the trash since you posted this several days ago haha. I did wipe my phone cuz it appeared to be the only option left, I fastbooted 4.3 factory image that I downloaded from the Google site.
It just so happens that yesterday I reinstalled (on 4.3 already) Lightflow LED Notifications app (last version, 3.8 I think, - when all of this happened I didn't have the last version - and the curse was back on. The same thing started to happen, the freeze, the buttons dissapearing, etc. So I obviouly proceeded to uninstall the app and guess what? Problem solved.
So I was just telling you this in case you still have your issue or if anybody else comes accross with the same problem.
I cannot be absolutely sure it's a crash between the update and the app but I think, at least on my phone, it was pretty obvious.
1 Since a week my Galaxy nexus is rebooting 5-10 times a day.
2 And its at some times very slow
3 Further more when i start the phone ( from sleep to active) or a app it goes on andscreen goes off for 1-2 sec and proceeds with working (slowly).
After re-entering sim code it will start up but after a while all happens again in a matter of time.
There have not been any additionel installation of software before this happend.
version maguro
android 4.2.1 no 4.3 update yet (europe i think)
please let me know if you have a solution.
Is it software hardware???????? i did 3 factory reserts but did not work....
Hey, everyone. I know this issue has been reported before, but NONE of the solutions are working for me. Perhaps I just have a bad Nexus.
I received the device for Christmas and it has worked perfectly fine. Super fast, fluid, responsive. Then, suddenly, I was using the device and it randomly rebooted. I thought, "whatever, this happens to all devices at one point or another". But then, after I turned it on, it got stuck on the Google startup screen for at least 5 minutes. I decided to restart and try again, but this time, it got stuck on the google screen, rebooted on its own and got stuck on the google screen again, repeating this cycle over and over.
So I went into Recovery mode to wipe the cache and do a factory reset. Not even this would work. The factory reset worked, but when I started up my tablet again, it froze at the Google screen. Eventually, it would just continue the cycle of freezing and rebooting. This is ridiculous. A brand-new, unrooted Nexus 7 on 4.4.2 should not be completely unusable. My warranty is up on the 18th, so I will probably just return it, unless someone has an idea.
Thanks.

That'a your best option. If you haven't modified it in any way then use your warranty.
I agree. Since you did not root it, there is probably something wrong with your tablet and you should get it exchanged while you can

I am going through the EXACT same thing and no one has been able to help.. What I did to fix it was re-flash the 03.15 bootloader and that allowed it to start. I think there's some tablets out there that "don't like" the new bootloader included with the KitKat update and I'm glad to see that it's not just me... At least you are able to return yours. I purchased mine back in August last year
Whenever I turn off my tablet and than press power button it takes a long time for my screen to appear 20-60 secs .. This is really annoying and only today didni get this problem I'm running cm11 4.4.4 also earlier I was stuck booting up for around 10 minutes .. Getting real annoyed here ALSO so now I got it to turn on like I said it takes a long time 20-60 sefs and I'm updating to the latest cm11 nightly like 5 versions ahead of the one I had .. Its taking a long time to boot the cm boot is making a lagging circle and last time I booted it took 10 minutes so once that done it has to upgrade all the apps..
Always having problem's with android devices everytime .. Thinking strongly about just switching to another platform like iOS even though its locked down like heck and boring people never say my iPhone or iPad can't boot up ..
Same issue with my nexus 5
When you installed cm11 did you clear all your caches?

This has happened a couple of times. I have the wifi flo Nexus 7 which is unlocked running stock. I got the 5.0 update a while ago and it started getting stuck at the google screen every once in a while. After being stuck at the screen for 10 to 15 minutes, the device would boot up OK. This happened around every 2 weeks or so but it would always boot up eventually. Last week I got the 5.0.2 update and this morning my nexus froze at the google screen. But, it never continued to boot up. I was in a permanent google screen freeze. I couldn't get to recovery. I tried wugfresh and eventually I got to the prone android with the exclamation point. I don't know what I did but all of a sudden it booted up.
Can anyone clue me in as to what is happening. It seems to be lollipop. Any thoughts?
