Lately I've been reading a lot more with my Kindle app and I can't go more than an hour without a restart. When it does, it also deletes the shortcut on the home screen. Would like to know if resetting my device may help this issue or should I just wait for an update from Amazon?
Nexus 7 4.4.2 Stock with GEL Launcher (was having same issue before installing GEL btw).

I noticed this for the first time two days ago, but it has just happened again so i wondered if anyone else has had the same...
Whilst reading on the amazon kindle app and listening to the stock music app, the phone will crash. The music sticks like a scratched cd and i have to pull the battery out to restart.
I cant see this noted anywhere else and i dont really know how to trouble shoot it.
My first adventure in android is starting to get a little annoying though.
Anyway, do i just keep pulling out the battery or is there a better way of going about things?
Cheers again.
Could be a bug with ICS itself although more likely a bug with the Kindle app. Better report it to Amazon customer service.

My phone also crashed while using the Kindle app! Had to do a battery pull as well. I thought that it was just a system crash, but now I think it might be indeed a problem with the Kindle app.
Mine crashed using the music app without kindle running. I was able to successfully read using the kindle app though for about 20 mins. My morning routine is basically music and kindle, sometimes sans music. I'll see if it happens often, that would be a deal breaker.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Kind of glad it's not just me, but kinda disappointed in another bug.
I'll try and report this to Amazon and see if anything gets picked up.
Although I haven't noticed google music crashing in a little while, since Kindle updated last week it has given me constant issues with crashes.
It will work happily enough first time round, but if I come out of it, leave the phone alone for a while, and then try and go back in I get a blank black screen. I have to go into setting and force stop to get it back to normal.
I've unregistered my device, uninstalled, and reinstalled and I'm getting the same issue. Amazons technical help just tell me to uninstall and reinstall again.
Not the most helpful service I've ever recieved....
Can anyone else think of anything that may be causing this? Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks all

I have turned off the eq in the music player and have not crashed since.

This is a problem with the Music app, not the Kindle app.
I tried to start a poll to gauge how many people have this problem but not many people responded - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387891
Ill have a read through later. Kindle is definitely crashing without music playing though. And its sync has gone a bit funny.
I have also experienced Kindle crashing on the Nexus. Kindle only crashes when in the background.
After one month it had been away, a bunch of days ago I got my Galaxy Nexus back from the tech support (motherboard failure).
I proceeded to unroot it again and I installed ParanoidAndroid (6th March beta) since I was using that rom before it broke and flashed trinity on top of it. I noticed a peculiar behavior when trying to playback youtube videos (both in the app and in the browser): sometimes the request would just hang there and if I did anything like pressing the back button, the app would be found unresponsive by the operating system and the "youtube isn't responding. Ok|wait" message would appear. I just got back my Galaxy Nexus from mI just got back my Galaxy Nexus from mI just got back my Galaxy Nexus from m If in a boot session that happens, I get the same thing happening on several apps like twitch.tv and clock. I discovered that the clock app wasn't working properly last morning, when the alarm didn't go off and I kind of overslept to uni, it wasn't nice .
I tried flashing other roms and kernels combinations as well as factory resetting, fixing permissions, installing busybox, re-installing youtube, clearing caches of various apps.
Has anyone ever experienced something similar? Thank you.

I buy my nexus 7 2 two weeks ago from US Google play store. After opening the camera 1st saw the reboot issue. Then it increases day by day. Then update all apps and OS but no change.
Then I root it, delete all Google Apps but still problem persist. Then go to CM but no solutions. Then revert back to factory image jss15q but no solution. Now during serving Internet, fb apps, or opening of any apps it reboots multiple time. Also reboots during movement of tabs in my hand or take it a flat surface it reboots automatically. I can't use this tab and I can't change this tab as I am now in Bangladesh. Pls pls
Give a solution.

I recently finally accepted the 4.3 ota update on my rooted Nexus 7 2013. It made me lose root, so I used the latest wugfresh nexus toolkit and the Samsung drivers to root again and had to reinstall TWRP again.
Since then I've noticed a new weird problem.
I've used SwiftKey pro for a long time and have it set as the default keyboard in the tablet settings. Since the 4.3 update the default keyboard setting resets itself to the Google English keyboard every time the nexus goes to sleep. I reset it in Settings /Language & Input and it stays that way until the tablet goes to sleep. When repowered up, it reset itself to the Google keyboard again. Really weird and annoying. I tried rebooting and that doesn't help.
Anyone else has seen this or knows how to fix it?
Thanks.
I have one 2012 nexus 7 and a 2013 2nd gen Nexus 7.
They both experience the same problem. They both randomly freeze or lock up when going to a different screen. For example if I click a browser link in my gmail app, it will freeze. The only way I have found to fix this is to press the recent apps button twice and then it will un freeze and go to the browser.
It will do this on any application or setting. It does not do this all the time. It does this about 70% of the time, and other times the tablet switches screens without a problem.
Here is a video that I took that shows the problem. I used the setting screen as an example.
I have searched and found no answers to this problem. I have even tried different roms to no luck.
This is an example on the nexus 7 2012

Do you have the same apps installed on both? Might be worth uninstalling what's common and adding stuff until it breaks again.
That makes sense. I will try uninstalling or freezing apps and see if that fixes it.
Thanks
Any update? Don't remove a bunch of apps at the same time, do it one be one
