I experienced a pretty nasty issue today with my galaxy s. As you know it's getting pretty hot these days, and prague is by NO means an exception.
Anyway my wifi stopped working on JM2, I've had JM2 for a few days and never previously experienced wifi issues.
So I basically tried everything, deleting apps, restoring settings, flashing firmware, the list goes on and on. Until I thought, perhaps it overheated?
Opened it up removed the battery and shoved it the fridge. 10 minutes later it was working perfect.
Perhaps JM2 has a problem with heat?

Or maybe simply taking out the battery did the trick?
Your device should also give you a warning message if the battery gets too hot.
Mine did the other day while i was playing some robo defense while charing, two things that both seem to get me a bit hot...

This. Happened to me a few weeks ago.
Sure I did that before, left it for 2 minutes with the batery out,
while I made myself some coffee. That didn't do the trick.
I don't know what caused it to work again but it was consistently not working til I put it in t

I have a non-rooted stock NS on 2.3.3 and the phone was just sitting on my desk doing nothing when I felt it vibrate. I picked it up to check for a text or email, but the phone was instead rebooting.
Has this happened to anyone else on this build? I have had the phone reboot while in call before, but never just sitting there in standby.
This happens to me in 2.3.2. I will have the phone just sitting there and it will randomly just be rebooting. Its not frequently enough to bother me yet but it happens on and off.

happened to me many many times on 2.3.2, but not 2.3.3. knock on wood
Happened to me...2 times already...never on 2.3.2...im rooted though

This happened to me like 2x a day with 2.3.2.
Hasnt happened once yet with 2.3.3.
I never got reboots in-call, though I did get them a couple times when I overloaded the phone's RAM.
Mine just rebooted in 2.3.3. I'm also getting "Can't connect to camera" anytime I use the Amazon barcode app which worked perfectly in 2.3.2.
Haven't tried the new update yet

I never had the in call rebooting, just overloading reboots on my nexus s. I have yet to have one since the update, but it has only been a little over 24 hours. Then again this has been happening to me since updating my nexus one be it stock, rooted, or CM6 FRF91 and FRG83D or any form of gingerbread I've used on it. The only thing I can say it it started in froyo for me.

on the new update havent had any issues.
I had the random reboot in 2.3. 2 and thought the update had fixed it.
Unfortunately it did not - i noticed the phone rebooting yesterday.
The camera has crashed twice so far, requiring a battery pull.
I am stock, non-rooted.
I also get random failed downloads and failed market updates.
Starting to get frustrating.

With all the problems you stated, it is obvious that ur rom is corrupt. I suggest you to back up all your settings, wipe everything and then reinstall a rom .
He's not rooted dude. Btw I get a reboot on every call. On cm nightly, no matter what I try/flash

Nope.
It happens to 2 Nexus S, both stock, not even rooted. One barely has additional apps, too.
I think a lot of people don't notice the reboot, because it is silent, so if you are not looking at your phone exactly at the particular time it reboots, you wouldn't know it.
The inability to dial at times is much more annoying, IMO: you punch in a number, the phone tries to dial, then hangs up. At the same time, there are 3-4 signal bars. When it happens, it normally takes several tries to get it to work.
The crashing camera also doesn't happen every time, but it is definitely a new bug in 2.3.3.
Just had my first random reboot on 2.3.3 while phone was sat on my keyboard while at my PC.
Rooted detoxed Rom stock
My 2.3.3 phone went into the weird "Dim Screen Reboot Screen" reboot at some point during the night last night. I was late for work because the alarm clock didn't go off (I know, I know...don't depend on a cell phone alarm clock)
I'm about done with this phone. And Android. Anyone wanna buy my NS? Dead serious.

This dim reboot screen thing used to happen quite a bit on my g2 in its early days, got it launch day. OTA fixed it.

I am still hopeful, but I am losing some patience with Android.
The platform seems to be all about selling the newest hardware, but the user experience is definitely below that of the iPhone. I keep hoping that the next Android OS upgrade will close the gap, but....
The iPhone 5 will have 4" screen, with Apple's better screen aspect ratio. If it only did Flash....
Anyway, the Nexus S is really the best user experience Android has to offer, and it's overall fine. Except when it acts like WM6.
simply said. my phone still reboots
using cm7 2.3.3 #12 and this bastard still reboots.
anyone else?
no.. wrong section
try wiping dalvik/cache/factory
No reboots over here.

what kernel? And if you're going to ***** about problems with 2.3.3 you should run fully stock to make sure some customization is causing the issue.
Never once had a random reboot related to a call. Why do people tend to only pay attention to half of a bugfix and never specify whether their "problem" is related to it and then post it the completely wrong section about the problem without searching for the older threads relating to their issue?
I encountered this problem too, just 3 hours ago; the first after upgrading to 2.3.3 since Thursday.
Stock (but deodexed) 2.3.3, rooted, dalvik,cache-wiped.
EDIT: And oh, it's not a reboot bug -- it was a shutdown bug for me. Wasn't on a call, phone was just on stand by in my pocket, while my wife and I watched Voyage de la Vie. After the show, phone was dead, power button not working. I had to remove the batteries to jack it up again.
I guess I would be wiping my phone again, oh man that sucks.
But in the end, I still love my Nexus S.

People don't understand. They just see "reboot bug" and anytime they get a reboot it's "that bug".

My G2 (pure stock) rebooted once in a while. In fact I watched it happen while i was in a meeting there day before I got the nexus s. It must be the same bug!
nexus s has not reboot once, though ill give it time its only been three days.

On CM7 build 12 with netarchy 1.2.7... it rebooted once sitting on the desk doing nothing lol. Haven't had a reboot since but it's only been a day. Battery life seems pretty good but 3D performance took a hit on 2.3.3 =\

is this from benchmarks or are you seeing real world performance decrease? I am not trusting benchmarks as my g2 performed better in quadrant, yet real world the ns feels much faster.

Both. Benchmarks are lower and also when playing games like dungeon defenders its noticeably slower than before.

That's strange, the ns has a good gpu..
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying the performance is worse than when I was on a 2.3.2 CM7 with the SAME PHONE. Not sure what comparing GPU's has to do with this.
Anyway, just had a reboot while trying to do the pattern unlock to wake my phone. It booted with a little "Safe Mode" thing at the bottom left, never seen that before. Then shortly after that it promptly rebooted itself again and it's back to normal CM7, but all my widgets mysteriously vanished from my home screen... great.

True, that was just my impression switching phones. I suppose it was a stability/compatability play as I hope they wouldn't unknowingly release a build with an unknown gross performance deficiency in the display driver.

prior to 2.3.3 my phone rebooted while in stand by on a daily basis and just once while on a call. i haven't noticed it after 2.3.3, but i'm not holding my breath just yet. i hope it's fixed.

My phone is doing the exact same thing.
On 2.3.2, CM7 nightly 2.3.3, and stock 2.3.3.
Wiped or not. Rooted or not. Same damn reboot/shutoff.
It just reboot/shutoff with screen off, and hangs dead there sometimes with LED lights on. Have to remove battery to boot. Sometimes takes a dozen time battery removal to get it pass bootloader.
I am fed up. Now I am using wiped non-root 2.3.3 with a broken CMR, and still reboots!
I am going to flash the stock Recovery back and lock the bootloader before sending back to Samsung for replacement.
But seriously, what would you recommend as my next phone. I am thinking about Tbolt or Atrix.

It's not.
I have 2 Nexus S, both of them have spontaneously rebooted on 2.3.3.
It was much worse on 2.3.2, though.
Both are stock, not even rooted. Even most of the apps are different (my wife uses very few).

You do realize the "reboot" bug has nothing to do with just rebooting right? It has to do with rebooting while DURING a call. Also You're running CM7, so any random reboots is an issue with CM7 itself. It's still buggy as heck.
And ummm actually for me. Build 11/12 has been strong, not a single reboot. Used to have random soft-reboots, soft-reboot loops, and can't unwake the phone. All needing battery pulls. Haven't had a single random reboot with CM7 build 12.

Except that it's happening to way too many of us, NOT during a call. I call that a "reboot" bug.
My phones are stock.
For some reason my EVO keeps restarting randomly on me, and all the time too.
I'm running CM7 7.0.3.1 and savaged zen 2.2.0, and I have an extended battery and I rum juicedefender.
Now I don't think its the battery because I've had it for month
Its most like savagedzen 2.2.0 but idk maybe its CM7 too.
I think this started after I started playing words with friends. Doesn't seem like a memory intense app and I never had this happen but lately its been rebooting randomly, like I'm download from the market. Internet, and even posting this thread!
Basically I'm thinking of switching to either virusrom or Mik, which is better?
Sent from my dope fly fresh EVO
my chick is having the same issue. hers just reboots at random after starting to use her pandora app about a week ago.
her evo is running:
Mod version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3.1-Supersonic
Kernel version: [email protected]#1
Ditto
I have same problem, and have tried various ROM's, most recently a complete wipe as per Mikroms instructions. Only pattern I can make out is it tends to start when the CPU is stretched a little, such as running Tango over 3G, or even Angry Birds for over ten minutes. Once it starts though, it reboots several times before it finally quits.
There was another thread on this, but no solutions, instead it turned into an argument over whether it is CM7 fault; not very constructive. I have tried different batteries and changed up CPU speeds, still to no benefit.
Like I said, if I don't tax the system I have no problems, and that so far has been my only solution, but a disappointing experience with my Evo.
My dad's kept rebooting too even after the gingerbread OTA. He is running a bone stock phone(not even rooted)
Wife is having the same issue on her stock EVO with the new OTA
same issue here, playing WWF,stupid zombies or surfing the web. on decks rom and on the gingerbread 2.3 stock.
Apparently, this is a common problem with the EVO. Mine started as soon as I accepted the recent OTA update. There is an XDA thread somewhere. Just do a Google search.
Same here & 2 of my other friends. I am on my 3 or 4 EVO (lost count) & everyone does it. This is only one I rooted as well. I noticed it does it less (once every few weeks to a month) with a custom non cm rom. Also restart your phone at least every couple of days (usually I did every day). It works out pretty well. What I tell my friends don't hesitate to tell sprint you have a issue so it gets documented. So you have proof to fall back on when you had enough. It's not like you pulling one over on them. They see if you have all these issues for so long why just now saying so. I have found that for some reason phone resets in middle of calls multiple times same day with certain Bluetooths. I drive truck for living so I on phone alot with customers/work/friends/family/etc. Always Bluetooth, and did up to 5 times a day. Then bought one top of line (jawbone icon &now Bose) and doesn't do it like that anymore. Hope this helps any of you. & again any issues you get tell sprint. Last time I got a new EVO in box, & they let me keep my old one. So gave it to my mother. Then had it replaced under her #.

Mine started out with a reboot
every so often. It finally got so bad it would reboot over and over until I pulled the battery for a few. Somewhere in the process, my GPS crapped out as well. It would work for a few minutes and then freeze. Not a good thing when you are not from Boston and trying to navigate 8am traffic to get somewhere.
I got a refurb as a replacement. It was in perfect shape and only had like 111 minutes of talk time. No telling why it was sent back but I've had no issues with it.
Mine is doing this too.. its annoying Ive restored backups and it just keeps rebooting, i dont know whats wrong. Im on avaFroyo 2.2
I don't remember where but there is a thread about this very topic. From what I read this was attributed to a corrupt data partition. My gf phone is starting to have this problem. Only fix I have read so far is to reroot phone and take it to sprint. I am waiting til they can root the ota. Then I will unroot her phone and get a new one.

I've had my nexus s for almost a year and it's randomly rebooting. While in android 2.3 it rebooted once or twice a week. I thought that ICS would fix it, but it didn't, and now the phone is still rebooting, but only once or twice a month. I wasn't able to notice any thing or app that could cause the phone to reboot. Sometimes it's during a call, sometimes during a game, sometimes while i'm staring at the homescreen. I've looked at some logs and the problem seems to be the OS, because it say something like "critical android error, rebooting" before it reboots. The phone isn't rooted or any thing like that, and now it's in 4.0.3, updated OTA. Any ideas??

If its doing it on stock I doubt that will fix it. Random reboots once or twice a month doesn't seem like a huge deal really. I've had just about every high end android phone under the sun and if I only got one or two reboots a month on any of them I'd be happy.

Once or twice a month is not bad at all...
A reboot once or twice a month isn't really bad, that's true, but I was curious to know what was causing the phone to reboot. Thanks anyway.
I'm on stock 4.0.3 (i9023), was on stock 2.3.6. Had maybe one random reboot since I bought the phone (wich was about 3 or 4 months ago) and I think it was on Gingerbread (not sure though)... Not bad since I had more of them when using custom roms on my tiny X8 I had before.
I've done a full wipe and a full update when updating to ICS.
Hey guys, I have similar problem. I bought my Nexus S second-handed half a year ago. I had 2.3.6 at that time, and it used to reboot itself like once a day. But as the time passed by, the ammount of restarts increased to 3-5 per day. When the ICS was released, I rooted and manually updated ICS (I have european i9023 version, I'm from Czech Republic), with stock ICS rom and CWM recovery 5.0.2.0. I thought it would stop, but i was wrong. Then I read it was caused by some widgets (like Beautiful Widgets, bought, not cracked). It worked for some time after unistalling, reboots decreased, but now I am on the old level with 5 restarts a day. I tried everything, even full wipe, formated USB storage, didn't help. Do you think another kernel and custom rom could help, or is it some kind of HW problem? Thanks for any advice.
