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.

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.

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.

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.
That random occurrence where my phone sits on the White Screen longer than I expect it too after a reboot, and just as I reach to pull the battery, after waiting longer than I think I should, the boot animation comes on...

I got freaked out yesterday. Here's what happened. I had icsp3 installed on my phone but I was in miui from my SD. (Boot manager). So I tried to boot back into ics and it instantly went to hboot, and not the hboot I'm used to seeing. This didn't have the option for recovery. I would hit reboot and it would go black for about half a sec and then right back into hboot. I was like oh s*it! So I pulled the battery and booted into hboot then recovery and all was good. Still don't know what happened but I thought I was eff'd for sure.
That's why when I flash a ROM I cunnect it to the USB, type "adb logcat" and sit and watch what it's doing.
No longer do I wonder if it's locked up... I see it going through all its processes before it gets around to updating the screen... real stress reliever.
pfft...
Come talk to me when you've made your own connection prong for the WiFi antenna and soldered that to the Evo board... then the ever so wonderful post-"in pieces" boot up.
btw - WiFi works well now!

Ahh, good plan. I always have mine plugged in, too, when I flash a ROM, just to keep the battery charging while booting
Ahaha! I get scared deleting things from Titanium Backup! Lol scarred myself for life when I was on r3chargeD I accidentally deleted some app/s (still don't know what I deleted) and I rebooted and it never came back lol I had to reinstall the ROM fresh lol

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've been having problems with stock and unrooted rom.
1. Volume keys don't work at all and have to reboot to fix.
2. Nexus 4 would freeze and would have to reboot.
3. I don't know if its software or hardware, but nexus 4 would be unresponsive to turn screen back on and would have to hold the power button to reboot
Anybody with these issues?

Good morning, haven't used the phone. But hopefully it doesn't come to that. I used to be a crazy ROM flasher, and never got to enjoy the phone as it is. Its been months since I have flashed my phone lol I feel like I'm on rehab lol the reason why I don't want to factory reset or flash a ROM, it's because it takes about an 1 hr for me to set it up the way I like it lol thanks man! Hopefully they release a minor update to fix these bugs at least

I have face the symptom 3. Removed couple of newly installed files and no issues from last 14 hrs.
Now the reboots are getting worse; during a phone call it rebooted, screen off and doing nothing, and using chrome. I hate to do this but I'm going to factory reset. And by the way, what files did you delete?
Deleted word web & some regional specific app. Resetting phone should be fine without any issue.
I have formatted yesterday, its great no issues & battery life seems great.

I've experienced Symptom 3 a few times. Tried a few kernels and same result. So far I've stuck with Franco kernel and I overvolted by +25mV -- seems to have improved things a fair bit.
May end up doing a factory reset and re-loading the 4.3 image to see if that clears up any outstanding issues.
I think I've figured out the solution. Chrome Beta 30 is the one that is causing reboots stated in the link. I would get random reboots and would blame it on my power button. Happens for no apparent reason, during a phone call and while listening to music.

Hi all,
I bought my phone one week ago, and during this week it froze on me once on stock 4.3, not even rooted.
Over the weekend I flashed CM official nightly and I got a 10 second "freeze"... I waited it out without doing anything, after 10 seconds it "unfroze". Anyways, I've been reading that update 4.3 isn't all that great... I hope they're able to pinpoint what's causing these random freezes soon!
It looks Google isn't going to release android 4.3.1. Since rumors are stating that they are releasing Android 4.4 on October 14. Its only a rumor though. I wish they would fix this bug at least.

Thats a deadlock, it's a known problem with 4.3 JSS roms like CM 10.2. If you flash a JWR based rom it doesn't have these issues, or a hybrid JWR/JSS rom like PA.
I keep getting these annoying errors, both on camera and on media folder.
