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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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 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.
AND THEN, when the phone restarts it has more than 50 % battery.
WTF.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Are you running stock, di18, eb13, eco5? More details please!

sorry, was just wondering if anyone else had this happen, running eb13 viper rom.
This has happened to me, at the
time I had syndicate 1.0.2. It did a soft reboot and didn't actually hang up till my phone finished rebooting. The whole time well it was on the booting video the call still worked. Then it booted to the lockscreen and the call ended.

Hey, they called this phone the "Epic" for a reason, it only does things in epic proportions.
I've had that problem on the EB13 Syndicate, then today one the EC05 Syndicate... I fixed it last time, but can't remember how. I just wiped battery stats and did calibration, so I will let you know if that did it.
this happens to me whenever i get a phone call and i have less than 15% battery. it has happened on EVERY rom i have used

Are you running SetCPU or an Undervolt settings? When a battery gets to a low percentage, the voltage is lower so any undervolt settings will actually be even lower and the phone will crap out. At 40% my phone would not wake and totally black out, needed to pull battery. Found out I had undervolted 200 Mhz by 100 mV. Pushed that back to zero and no more problems.
It could also be a bad battery, especially with the varying percentage from reboots like that.
no undervolt. Just whatever the rom+ kernal settings are is what I run.
I should get the new battery this week. Hopefully that'll fix the problems

Yes blame the phone for everything when running a custom rom
im not sure when this started but it seems like every rom, every kernal i use now my phone will close apps to a black screen and freeze up for different lengths of time. was doing it in stock, and now a custom rom. tried different kernals... seems to be worse when the phone first boots up. its almost like a force close but slower and i don't get the force close message. help
Edit: ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?

Quite often this is caused by restoring old data over a new rom using a program like titanium backup. Sometimes you can get away with it between similar roms but restoring Froyo data on to a gingerbread rom will almost always cause lots of FCs.

When did you purchase your phone? did this start to happen after you started loading custom ROMs or since the start?
What is your current setup right now? Do you use RFS or EXT4?
What hacks have you loaded to your phone, and after what even that you performed on the phone did you start experiencing this issues?

I had this same issue. I was to a point of chamging phones.
I decided to watch 5 different tutorials/youtibe videos on how to odin back to stock.
In that process, 3 of the videos had different options checked. Yes, I decided to try each way, restoring apps/data from Titanium, each time.
After the first 2 attempts, and still seeing the freezes, I started to get some kind of com.google.apps process force close errors.
I was really ready to beat my phone up at this point.
So, after deciding, I've had enough, I said I would do it ONE more time. (There was still one more checkbox that another video was showing...)

Sry, my fat fingers pressed submit.
Anyhow, Ive 0 programming experience so, all of this might kust be a lucky fluke. When I odin'd, I checked all three options. Re-Partition, Autoreboot, And F. Reset Time.
Only 1 video of the 4 I watched said to do this.
I then restored my apps and data back w/ Titanium.
I did make sure that any data from OEM apps, was not broight back, as a precaitonary on my part. It was really driving me nuts. Hope this helps....

crap well it wasn't TW4... uninstalled it last night. today rebooted and same thing.... its so strange it only happens the most after i reboot the phone. black screen with the status bar up top. if i touch the screen the button lights will come on ... if i swipe down the status bar it will eventually come down.. but with a ton of lag
i guess i'll nandroid backup and start from scratch with odin again. bone stock no root see what happens.
EDIT: just noticed that the modem seems to reset every time it does this. didn't see that before cause it doesn't always make the no signal sound. but the bars on the status screen go dark and the little x pops up above them before the home screen redraws. so basically whatever i'm doing goes to black screen.. times out for 10 min with just the bar on top, modem resets and goes back to the home screen
ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?
man this is nuts... i've got android system info running and i'm watching the processes tab... all the programs start usign memory, then android starts killing them off until they are almost all gone then i go to black screen... i dont' know what the hell is going on
edit: tasks is showing android.process.acore twice, package com.fede.launcher. both are using 34.89 MB and have cpu at 100... however total CPU usage is only showing 7%
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.
I know, it's not Windows, but is it a good idea from time to time to reboot manually? Would we have any benefit from doing this?
Personally, I reboot only when I really have to, for making backup, or when I install anything on system level that requires rebooting. My system is solid and stable and if anything hangs, simple selective app killing solved everything so far.
I was on CM7, and Neutrino earlier and was very satisfied with both of them, but then I bought lapdock so I switched to Nottachtrix. I had no need to reboot manually with any of them. Maybe your mileage varies, and I'd like to hear your opinions.
Does shutting your phone off at night count? There's no need IMO to have a phone on 24/7. Take a break from it.

Over 10 times a day, hardware problems causing random shutdowns all the day xD
Well, im running Th3Bill's MIUI 2.8.17 and i have to reboot the phone at least one time in the day because for random reasons, it loses internet acces, and i have to reboot it to get everything working again. Also when the camera goes crazy and when i open the app, says that can't connect to the camera. A reboot fixes that issue.
i'm using jokers CM9 and its been stable as a stable thing tied down to a really heavy stable object.
but i do reboot it 2 or 3 times a week - usually because i forget to put it on charge overnight and the battery dies

I have it automated to go to airplane mode in 11PM and it resumes in 7AM, that's about turning it off. I have it next to my bed, and sometimes I use it as a flashlight during the night. I love this flashlight app.

I should have included "Randomly. It reboots by itself." option in poll.

I remember stuck camera problem when I tested ... some of ROMs (can't remember which ones) and it was a deal breaker. You shuold reconsider your ROM-radio-kernel choice. I had best experience with Neutrino, regarding battery life, speed and stability. With Blur based Nottachtrix I lost CM goodies (which I really miss), some speed and battery life, but I gained Webtop functionality. However, Nottachtrix has proven to be stable and reliable.
I always reboot once a day regardless of its needed or not. My wife use to never reboot her inspire and she kept having freeze ups so I told her reboot once a day now hers seams to be doing a lot better.

Whatever happends, even if I run stock or any custom ROM, my data connection gets lost with time. Impossible to get it back without a reboot. So I reboot quite a LOT !
I reset almost every day since almost every day I'm flashing a new ROM, or returning a Nandroid. But many times, connection problems, or freezing apps, I managed to solve restart.
Basically never. =) never have any problems on thebills miui

I reboot about once or twice a day but not because I want to, the dreaded random reboots have returned

I reboot mainly when I f**k up an system file (last one was when I froze the blur launcher... it kept showing FC one after another..... adios battery! Hello bootscreen!

My intention is not to reboot ever .. but being on a beta ROM has its side-effects ..

I stopped thinking this way after 9/11. On 9/10, I went out drinking with friends and went to bed without shutting off my phone like I normally did. That morning my roommate and I were woken up by a call from a friend purely because of my mistake. Since then, I treat my phone like a landline.
Every Tuesday before I check for ICS update.
