Just got my 6p yesterday and Getting multiple restarts and system UI crashes , I did restore my phone with apps ect I wonder if that could be the issue anything helps thank you .
Sounds like it. If your using a custom launcher delete the widgets and readd them
No custom launcher should I factory reset? or try something else will delete the 1 widget and see if that helps any other solutions is welcomed thank you
There are some people here that had a similar issue (including me), I myself had to get a new device (replacement) from Google to solve that issue. We already had/have a thread about this, maybe you can find some info there.
Okay thank you back from a restore less restarts but still getting them & phone freezes up from time to time guess this is a serious issue & not just software smfh.

I'd do a FDR and start from scratch. I know it takes longer but I do it with every new phone and after a major OS update. I'm a firm believer in not bringing any data over from an old phone.
Can you define FDR? I have done a factory reset if that's what you mean but I think I have fixed the issue will report back after 12 hrs of testing & results
I had the same issue before but this is what I had done before and after, so I hope this advice may help you.
I had come from a OnePlus 8 Pro, so I naturally wanted to transfer all data from 1 phone to the other. BIG MISTAKE! I had several reboots during the 1st few days. So I started searching around this forum and found a few people suggesting that you factory reset your phone but DO NOT TRANSFER any data from your old phone to your new phone (using the cable). Instead, factory reset your Pixel 6 without restoring any data, then once you get through the initial setup, upgrade to the latest version using an OTA file. Once you did that, then start slowly manually transferring the data from your old phone manually. This is what I did and have had no issues since, no reboots and everything seems solid. Battery life seems way better doing is this way and the UI seems more stable as well, as before, it would be janky and the battery would drain.
I hope this helps
I had the exact same issue and it was only solved by getting the device replaced. I found the replacement device worked better in all respects, not just solving the reboot problem.
Just get a replacement!

In this thread issues are being discussed as well. First thing you can do to reduce the number of problems is to master reset your phone. Please make sure you back up your data including the files on SD card. It took me two resets to make things stable but as you mentioned there are abnormality with the phone. We are hoping there will be an update soon.
On that note, you might want to discharge your battery to improve it as well. Recharged it from switched off and from wall socket. Good Luck.

Yes I did the factory wipe in boot menu like 2 or 3 times and had to clear cache in boot menu to get the camera working. It seems pretty stable at the moment because I did another wipe yesterday and unroot before hand ato fix it. And I havnt rooted yet bacause I want to compare hw it runs because it seems pretty ok at the moment so I might root again later to see if it starts happening again.
And thanks for the tip about the battery
Update....i rooted again but this time with gingerbreak and when I installed setvsel I enabled jit and jis made the phone alot faster! What is jit? What does,it do?
I got my Nexus 7 when it first came out last year, rooted it, installed TWRP, and have been on several different ROMs since. Didn't have any issues with random reboots for several months. Early this year, I started having an issue where the tablet would freeze while I'm using it, then automatically reboot itself. I thought perhaps it was a problem with the ROM I was running, but I had switched ROMs a few times after that, and every single ROM I've been on since then has had the same problem. It usually only happens when I'm browsing the Internet (with Chrome being my browser of choice), but I've had it happen once while using the camera app, as well.
The other day, I upgraded TWRP to the latest version, and I installed the 4.04 bootloader in preparation for Lollipop ROMs. I was hoping on some slim chance that perhaps an upgraded bootloader might fix the problem, but I'm still getting random reboots.
I know I've seen people talk about random reboots as well, but in the past, I never saw anyone find any kind of solution. Is there one, or is it one of those things I just have to live with, at this point? It's odd to me that I didn't start experiencing this issue right away, and that it only started several months after I had had the device. To me, that makes it seem like it's not a hardware issue/ defect, but I guess no one has been able to pinpoint what the problem is, why it occurs, and how to fix it, huh?

I'd tend to agree with you it's a software thing. However, my approach would be a bit more radical than yours: that I would erase everything, including formatting the internal storage twice (after making a backup, of course), then install a completely clean rom, use it for a while to make sure it doesn't act up again before restoring any apps.
On the side, I've seen a Nexus doing random reboots whose owner had opened the back and bent the cover somehow, which slightly depressed the power button. While the button operated normally, this condition forced it to "click" randomly, which caused the reboots. It stopped after the owner replaced the back cover. You might want to check this part. Good luck.
Most of the time, random reboots are kernel related. If you are overclocked try to set max CPU lower and see if the problem fixes itself. If you don't overclock try installing something like Trickster Mod, and lower max CPU to see if that helps. What ROM and kernel are you running?

I always recommend flashing back to stock to rule out software issues. If it continues, you've got a hardware issue.
I haven't really messed around with kernels, I've typically just used whatever was included in a particular ROM, and I never adjust to overclock or anything like that. I don't remember what all the ROMs I've been on are, but I've been on CM before, and I'm currently using CleanROM. I think the only time I ever specifically tried a different kernel was a while back, when I flashed an Elemental kernel, but I've since wiped and been on a different ROM.
For now, I'm trying to hold out wiping anything until a good, rooted build of Lollipop is available, at which point, I'll try wiping out everything, including internal storage, and see if that helps.
I guess I could also try flashing back to stock before I do that, though. I think I've seen one stock ROM for the N7 floating around. The only problem is, it's really hard to "test" this, because the reboots are very inconsistent. The other day, after I had updated the bootloader, I was browsing Chrome for over an hour before I got a random reboot. One time, I was browsing Chrome for an hour and had 4-5 random reboots within that hour. So, that makes it difficult to determine if it's fixed in a timely manner. :/
Alright, so now that there's a proper build of Lollipop out, I did a factory reset and wiped internal storage (twice), and I'm now running stock Lollipop. I spent about an hour or so getting everything set up, and no reboots thus far; but the reboots mainly occur when I'm using Chrome, and I didn't really do any browsing, as I was getting all my accounts and apps and whatnot set up. Hopefully within the next couple of days, I'll have used it enough to get a good idea as to whether or not I'm still experiencing issues.
So far, no reboots, though i don't want to jinx it, heh... I'll be glad if the issue is finally fixed, but I'll also feel kinda dumb that all it took to fix it was something as simple as wiping internal storage and/ or reflashing a stock ROM. Lollipop is pretty nice, as well.
Yeah I'm using a custom version of L myself. You need to flash custom kernel to get working root access with SuperSU BETA 2.19

Hey guys,
I need your help here my G3 is acting up now and its really irritating me. So what happens is when im using the phone my WiFi will suddenly drop and I would have to wait around 5 minutes every-time this happens to me. I don't have a problem with my router its a fast router and works well all the time. Lets say i to go into a bathroom and when using the phone the WiFi will drop instantly and I've tried all the steps by forgetting the wifi and re-typing it again, factory resetting going onto my 2.4.GHZ and still receiving the problem. Is there ANY fix out there that can do it its really annoying me and i need it fixed. Please.
Thank you.
I'm no expert, but in my opinion (and assuming you haven't tried this yet) the first thing I would do is to do a hard reset. It is unclear from your post if the problem is occurring immediately after a hard/factory reset, so will assume you have added all apps afterwards.
If it is still happening after that (and before you start installing all your apps) then you have a problem with the phone itself. If not add all your apps back and ensure all have been opened/run.
If it starts happening again, then it might be an app causing it. Hard reset again and then add your apps back piecemeal (maybe 5 at a time - keep not of which ones you are doing) and open each one after installation (as installing is one thing, but the running of an app might be the cause)
This way, if it does start happening again, you will know which 1 (or maybe 5) app(s) is to blame.
As I said, I am no expert, but this is the logical way I would go about eliminating or trying to find the cause of an annoying problem.

I had a similar issue and the cause for me was having both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks SSID the same. If you have a dual band router name each differently. Hope that helps.

Update on the phone I did manage to do a factory reset and have fixed the problem thank you rjcb23
Weird though I did multiple factory resets and that actually managed to fix the problem aha. Thank you. : )
So I'm experianceing hight Temps according to what I've looked up I'm in the 104-105 range Fahrenheit when it's just sitting on a table I've tried all I can think of besides a factory reset can anyone give me any advice on what I can do or is this a problem that need repair
What apps are running in the background?
What OS version?
Clear system cache for starters.
Do not let it run that hot. Cool it or turn it off.
Android 11 one ui 3.1 Clearing the cache was the first thing I did and I don't really run anything in the background I try to keep It minimal as Posible it just started doing this it was fine for a long time
I'm still running Pie... for good reasons.
After updating to 11 if it was a OTA update did you do a factory reset?
No I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if posible and I've had mutiple Ota updates since 11 came out my phone came with 10 so I had no choice with the version of Android to run it just startedd recently I've put everything into deep sleep that wasent necessary and still getting hot so it's not background apps
If you didn't do a factory reset after installing 11, it's time to do it. No way around it. Major changes were made and without a factory reset it will keep puking on you.
Do not use SmartSwitch as it may drag along some of the bad settings with it. (You can use SmartSwitch to make an emergency backup in case you forget to save critical data but using it may put you right back with the same issue.)
Disable all power management as it's notorious for doing this. Lol, it can't get worse.

Samsung Galaxy phone heating up or overheating? Here's what OEM says
Owners of Samsung Galaxy devices often complain about heating up or overheating issues. Here's what Samsung has to say about the same.
piunikaweb.com
Try running safe mode for a day or so. If it don't get hot or as hot. It's a Rouge app
Well, I had the 6 Pro for about 36 hours. It kept rebooting randomly, even after a factory reset, so it's going back for an exchange.
Has anyone else had this issue?

No definately not, here the worst I have experienced is some app crashes, they probably aint android 12 ready, and some pretty big lag moments
I don't have any issues. Do you have the November update yet?
For some strange reason, I noticed exactly this aswell (one time, this morning). I was working out and my phone laid on the table, when I saw it lit up because it restarted for no reason.
I guess it's a software bug.
And no, there was no automatic system update - I checked, I'm still running the old version.

Is there a bugfix list of any sort about the most recent sytsem update?
I tried to find one, but as of now I have been unsuccessful.
No, nothing at all either. Mine also installed silently at some point. I recall a notification asked for a reboot yesterday morning.
No, not had one random reboot since I got it on Tuesday.
Nothing here either. Good luck!

I had the November update and all apps had been updated as well. It would freeze and then reboot.
I did a factory reset and did not restore any of my apps, just ran it with the factory apps, and it still did it. Since no one else is having the issue, I'm feeling confident it was a bad unit. I had the 128 gb version.
It's back to the pixel 5 for another week or so. I had to exchange that after I got it too because of a bad proximity sensor. Either I just have really bad luck or Google needs to tweak their quality control department.
Weird unexplainable OS crashes like that are usually due to faulty hardware, potentially RAM
If you're having issues, do yourself a favor and keep an itemized list (on your device, word doc on pc, somewhere) and notate the following for each occurrence:
-date / time
-the fault (self reboot, major lag, over heated, fast battery discharge, etc.)
-what you had to do to clear it (rebooted, closed app, powered off/on, etc.)
When talking with Google about a replacement, having THIS information ready to read off will make it extremely hard from them to give you any grief about you needing a warranty replacement.
An itemized list of faults is MUCH better evidence that you need a replacement than "well, it rebooted a few times last month"

I am inclined to agree here, but my years of working with Windows and Android incl. rooting and using custom roms and kernels want to disagree here. There can be half a gazillion software based reasons for an OS crash, especially with a buggy release like Android 12. Not sure if you participated the beta, but it reminded me of Windows 11. There was a buggy beta build with about 100 bugs, they fixed 20, called it a day and released it. Now we new P6 owners can play beta testers Volume 2 for Google.
One very important thing here is also: Did you guys set up your phone "clean" or did you copy over your old phone by cable or did you use backup?
Any of these things can cause issues.
I, for example, used a cable to transfer all file and apps from my P4 XL to my P6 Pro. It's possible that this is the rootcause for some issues, or maybe it's not. Maybe there are even problems that occur only if you transfer your files from specific phone models to this one, you never know.

Sure, but the OP stated the crashes are happening right after a factory reset, and anecdotal evidence on this thread suggests it's not widespread. It does point to some sort of hardware problem.
I'm having exactly the same issue!
I got the phone today and booted it up for the first time. I selected my language and as soon as I pressed get started it froze, then got stuck in a bootloop. I fixed that by factory resetting from within recovery.
Once I'd gotten through the setup it crashed again when I clicked on the apps button in the optional setup. Because of this I factory reset and set the phone up for a third time.
Third time I got through setup with know issues but the phone freezes/reboots roughly once every two hours. I've been searching all day to see if anyone else has mentioned this issue.
I guess this phone is going in for replacement. Does anyone happen to know how long that takes/ if I'm going to be without a device for long?
They told me 3-5 business days to get a replacement. I expect mine early next week.

I just had 3 random reboots today. Phone just laid on the side of my table on my laptop, doing nothing. It was in the span of probably ~10 minutes each reboot. A strange observation I made - now that I removed my phone from the back of my laptop and laid it directly on the table, no more reboots. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it has something to do with the magnets of my Laptop (has quite a lot inside). Not sure what to make of this. It kinda feels like a software buggy-thing, but it's odd that it sometimes just comees and goes. It also only appears to be in absolute idle. I had my phone working yesterday for about 12 hours, incl. using it constantly with navigation, and it never faltered for once. That's why I'd say it's a software thingy, if it had something to do with hardware, it would reboot/fail when under load. But it doesn't.
Had 4 total reboots as of now (had the phone since 27.10).
First reboot was yesterday (28.10) morning when working out, phone laid idle around, booted up.
And now again 3 reboots, morning, laid around, did nothing.
So I've had probably a dozen in two days. I take my phone out of my pocket and attempt a fingerprint unlock only to be told that my PIN is required after a restart. At first I wasn't sure if it was actually rebooting until last night. It prompted me for my pin and upon entering it, the screen locked up for about 20 seconds and it rebooted.
This morning I woke up and was yet again greeted with the "PIN required after restart" and less than 20 minutes later it was the same thing. Only once hav I witnessed the "G" boot animation, but everytime I see my UI loading. So I'm not sure if it's always a full reboot or some times it's just the UI crashing. Everything on my device is stock.

Did you transfer your old phone over with a cable, or backup, or did you start "fresh"?
Maybe we can narrow it down if it's software or hardware problem.

I did a partial transfer. I was coming from an iphone 12 so I transferred photos and contacts only. And I transferred via cable.
