Ok I have noticed that my vibrant is randomly reboot more than usual. I can be on the web or checking email she'll just bog down and restart with no warning. Is anyone else experiencing this issue.

I have same thing but untouched vibrant. No root.
It has re-booted three times already since i got it (i.e. last two weeks)
The reason it is re-booting is because kernel is crashing. The reason is still unknown.
It could be GPS driver crashing the kernel or faulty hardware.
Best options is to replace the phone or wait for Froyo and hope this problem goes away.

It seems to happen after the phone has been on for an extended amount of time. I don't have lag, and I'm not using the gps when it happens. In fact, it usually happens when I sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? My phone is not modified. I'm even running plain touch whiz. I'm considering returning if I can't resolve with a hard reset. No third party apps are running when this occurs. I routinely close processes before I stop using the phone. I love this phone, I'm just worried I have a bad unit.
i'm having a similar issue, but with a rooted vibrant. the problem has spanned across two different handsets. the first one i rooted almost out of the box. but after a few days it started locking up after sitting for a while and i would have to pull the battery to get it to come back on. so i returned it, got a new one and held off rooting it to see if this one would do the same thing. the non rooted one had no problems at all, so i bit the bullet and rooted this one too, and sure enough later that same day it started doing the same freezes when trying to unlock it.
as soon as i rooted the second phone i downloaded rom manager and made a nandroid backup. after the backup i proceeded to remove some of the bloat, like dual clock, the startup/shutdown sounds, and some of the other crap that the vibrant comes with. i also installed and started up setcpu. it seemed that after i did all of this is when the freezes started up again. so i did a restore to before i removed all that stuff and now the phone is fine again. what is it about my process that is making this phone lock up like this?
EDIT: nevermind...i found some other people with the same problem in a setcpu thread...seems setting the sleep profile too low will cause the phone to not wake up after sitting too long
Uh, I'm not getting any freezing, but I know there is an issue with SetCPU. A certain setting will causes problems on the Vibrant. My issue is just unexpected reboots after the phone has been on for approximately 170 hours.
I had many random restarts and general craziness from my non rooted stock vibrant. A factory restore fixed all problems.

Yeah, if it happens again I'm going to try a factory reset.

The past week I got 3 restarts on my note. First was at home with USB cable to PC to charge it, nothing else, locked screen, don't remember if there was a running app. The other 2 times where on the road, I was listening music on stock music player. The only app I am thinking it could have something to do with this is top deals, even not 100% sure need to confirm got rid of it now let me check it. Anyone else noticed anything similar???

It happened to me few days back. It did not restart but I found it was off. Battery was around 50% and it was on third day after restart. I think it could be remote desktop app called 2X - Note particularly gets slow after runing 2X couple of times. I am on 2nd day without running 2X and I wish to confirm if this app is playing something wrong (btw I didn't have problem with 2X on S2).
Yup. It does happen to many people. "Sleep of death" happened to me several times on stock speeds/voltages. Restarts on my phone seem to be more OC/UV related.
I got mine about a week now and have had several restarts. It was way worse before I ran the update though... Now it "only" reboots 0-3 times a day
I don't dare to root it before I know it software related, but it seems like that since it got better with the official update...
I have restored it to factory defaults etc and nothing helps. I experienced this with NO extra apps installed and with the 4 apps I installed it's not worse. (Don't wanna personalize it before I root OR send it back and hope for replacement.)
Third day and it restarted. It however did not reset System Uptime.

Never had a random restart or sleep of death, in fact I can only recall 1 FC and I've had the phone for 2 weeks now

Lucky you!
Well what I wonder is if I root it is it possible that a custom ROM will fix my problems?
Have had my nexus 4 for 2-3 weeks and it has shutdown on me 2 times so far. Both occasions the phone was untouched and was shut off without me knowing, how long and when I have no clue but on power up my wallpaper is reset to default. I don't notice anything else besides that being changed. Anyone have a clue to a fix?
What ROM u have? I'm having same issues. I'm using Xylon. I'm bout to flash Franco #28 kernel and see if it helps.
U should try flashing a new kernel too.

bone stock. haven't done anything to it.
I also get something similar. It happens when I lock my screen. Once the screen goes off, it sometimes won't come back on until I restart my phone by holding down the power button till it's off, and then booting it. I'm not sure about my wallpaper changing, but it has happened on every rom I've used. Also, It didn't happen on stock, but I don't think I was even on stock for a week.
This never happened when I had stock...it started happening when I flashed the ROM. Hope Franco's Kernel helps.

this happens to me from time-to-time. It's not a hardware issue, it think it's a glitch with this version of the os.

Well, I called and got an RMA. Seems like a known issue as well as a battery life issue some others seem to be having. Maybe they are connected in some way. Rep said this new batch they are sending out (RMA's) do not have these issues. I hope so...
Put me down as someone having this issue, Happen 3 time now, On stock rooted os.
I read that Google have confirmed there is an issue with the latest OS that can result in random reboots. I think it has to do with location services.
I also read that turning off any options for emergency broadcasts can help with random reboots.
Some widgets that use weather can result in reboots (due to them using location services to get correct weather), and since I disabled all emergency broadcasts and stopped using widgets that show weather, I have not had a random reboot (and I was having at least one every two days before). I am still using widgets that have the ability to show weather, but I just do not show weather and this seems to help.
Random reboots was causing a major battery drain for me and since I stopped getting these reboots, my battery lasts much longer.
I am on stock ROM, rooted.

I'm hoping I have fixed my Nexus 10 random reboot problem by installing the free "Wake Lock Power Manager" by darken from the Play Store.
Since upgrading to 4.4.2 I've been experiencing on average 3 reboots a day with 7 reboots on some days and a total of 81 reboots for April.
I installed the free "Wake Lock Power Manager" app early yesterday morning and I've not had a reboot since then.
I've used the setting which keeps the Wakelock always on as shown by the Wakelock icon in the notifications bar.
I think it might keep the screen on permenantly too but as I normally use my Nexus 10 with the magnetic Pogo charger lead connected that is not a problem.
If the random reboot problem returns then I'll report it.
Update.
Still no random reboots since installing the free "Wake Lock Power Manager" by darken after two-and-a-half days which is a record for me. So I'm feeling more confident that I've found a solution to my Nexus 10 random reboots.
I've kept my Pogo charging lead connected all the time and I've not done a power down since installing the "Wake Lock Power Manager" app.
I would be interested in knowing if the app has worked for anyone else.
I find this post very odd as I've had my N10 for over a year now, rooted, used a few different custom ROMs, returned to stock and only had reboots with few bad custom ROMs releases. If your on stock there is no way you should be having that frequency of reboots. If you are on a custom ROM then go to something another. Other than that do a factory reset or reflash stock and slowly add back apps until you find the villain.
From what I read in your posts it seems you only masked the real issue which means it will be that much more difficult to resolve the next time it bites your butt.

Thanks for your reply and your suggestions.
I'm on a stock ROM and I agree that I should not be having that many reboots, although it seems it's not rare judging by the number of similar posts on the Web.
I've tried a factory reset and downgraded to 4.3 which seemed to solve the problem, but I kept getting upgrade reminders from Google which I eventually did hoping the problem was fixed and went back on 4.4.2 but my reboots re-started.
I even got reboots after a factory reset with no apps downloaded other than those Android system apps which came with the factory reset so that seemed to rule out a faulty 3rd party app.
Without the Wake Lock app I would probably have had about 9 reboots over the last 2.5 days so I'm happy with that even if I'm just masking the problem.
I've read reports that the random reboots that some people are experiencing might be fixed with 4.4.3 due this month which would be a better solution than usin an app.
Another day has passed without a random reboot and I'm growing in confidence that my reboot problem is fixed, bearing in mind that used to get up to 7 reboots a day.
I'm enjoying my Nexus 10 much more now that I don't have to login and restart apps several times a day.
I wish I could hear that it has worked or failed from someone else to see if others with the reboot problem get the same result as me.

After reading this, I installed the app and started it with PARTIAL_WAKELOCK. No crash in 6 days, that's the longest period in ... ever!
I'll try the even less aggressive settings next.
Changed the setting to WIFI_LOCK_SCAN_ONLY, and the tablet rebooted within 2 hours.
Since I got the kitkat update, my nexus 10 start presenting random reboots. I tried everything to figure out the reason but with no luck.
However a couple of weeks ago I recharged the tablet using the micro usb port instead of the pogo pin connector (I've been using the pogo pin connector to charge the device since the cable was released) and then no random reboot occurred since.
I've read this tread and it seems everybody here that has been experiencing the random reboots is using the pogo pins to charge the nexus 10, right? Can anyone test if it will work if the micro usb connector is used for charging?
On 10/17/16 I took the OTA to take me from the July Security patch to the September security patch, with build number G935TUVU4APIA.
With in the first day of the update I experienced the phone freezing on the home screen, then rebooting. Later on I found it had rebooted while in my pocket (prompted for pin and system up time was minutes). Ever since over past 6 days it has become frozen and rebooted multiple times a day. Anywhere 2 to 5 times a day doing various different things.
I have tried clearing all system and app cache since after the update. Unfortantely that has not helped at all. So what I would like to know is anyone else on this build experiencing these reboots, or was before and fixed it?
I'm trying to determine if its a bug with this build, cause I will be really annoyed if I have to go through the trouble of a factory reset, then find out it didn't help cause its an issue with this specific build. If some other stock people can confirm this build is not rebooting for them I will give factory reset a try.

Dang that sucks, worse time for it to fail when its supposed to wake you up lol! Thanks or the suggestion but I don't think its app related since it happens on home screen, in app drawer, in chrome, and in my pocket with screen off. Unless its an app in the back ground. But I haven't installed any new in past 5 days apps that I would say are uncommon that aren't supported well.
Edit: I just checked. Since the OTA I did install 1 app the day after. The Nexia app for smart thermostat that came with my new furnace. I don't think thats it since I can recall at least 1 reboot after the OTA and before that app. But just in case I will uninstall that app for a couple days just to test. Thanks!

I had a serious freeze/lock up last night. I am on the same build and NOT rooted. I even tried holding down the power button and the phone was unresponsive. Cap. keys stayed lit the whole time. After holding down for 45 sec or so it finally relented and rebooted. But this combined with random heat surges/ups really have me pissed.
Had the same issue. On u firmware now cuz i couldnt take it. One thing that seemed to help some was removing the sd card and wiping cache then rebooting. I let it run for a few hours then put in sd card. Seemed to help alot
I'm back to follow up with the results from uninstalling the only app I installed since the update. It actually almost went 24 hours without a freeze and reboot. I was starting to think it actually was the culprit. But then I had 2 freezes and reboot today. ��
So I have switched back to my Nexus 6P for a while. Thanks to those who also reported the same issue! Since other people are reporting the same issue it seems to be a bug in this build unfortunately. So here is to Samsung pushing out a fix soon. Until then I will be using my 6P. If they haven't fixed it in a couple weeks then I will probably flash to the U firmware too. What variant is the U firmware from anyways? The unlocked North America variant?
I installed the update and have been running it for the past four days with no problems to report thus far. If I get a reboot or any freezing I'll let you folks know. Perhaps try a factory reset.

I get a reboot twice a day. Sometimes the phone will freeze while I'm scrolling through my internet browser or it will reboot if I'm using the SAMSUNG branded car charger and Google Maps at the same time. Other times it'll just randomly reboot out of nowhere.
This is extremely frustrating. T-Mobile recommended that I get an exchange and I did get an exchange and the same day it rebooted on me. I called complaining that it's not a hardware issue and they told me to exchange the phone again. Smh.
This sucks especially since I use GPS a lot. This phone was/is perfect before the update.

Yeah... Carriers need to train their employees to be able to know how to tell the difference between a hardware and software issue. For example if a user reports something didn't happen until a recent update, then that should be an automatic sign to not waste that customers time with a pointless exchange.
