Random Reboot in 2.3.3, not in a call.

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.

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.

[Q] 4.2.1 Insane lag

Surprised I didn't find any other similar experiences but my Nexus 7 16GB on 4.2.1 (unlocked but not rooted) is having some real issues with performance lately. Literally everything I do on it ends up lagging and stuttering with nothing being smooth what so ever. Sometimes it will lag so much that it freezes then reboots itself.
I've also had issues with the battery reporting 30% and then suddenly shutting off and not restarting without being on charge for about an hour. I also sometimes hear a "click" sound from the device every now and again. Plus there is some strange feedback and noise through the headphones while it is on charge and if it is rebooting.
Thanks for reading, could anyone tell me if there a solution to any of these problems such as overclocking, flashing a new ROM, returning it maybe?

Although it is stock, have you tried flashing a recovery image just to see if that fixes anything? If that doesn't fix the lag, then return it. The image can be found here.
--EDIT--
Just noticed you have many more problems than just lag. Return it.

Touchscreen dead on wake, reboot fixes

Anyone got an issue where after some time (can be one week plus), you pick up your tab and the touchscreen is completely unresponsive on the lockscreen, can't even press powermenu? Reboot fixes. I had it on JSS1J and persists into JSS1Q. Hard to isolate as it may not happen for say a week of uptime, seems to be no pattern or consistent trigger
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I been getting the same thing. Charging over night the tablet wakes but touch is unresponsive. I'm on Clean rom and Elementalx kernel. Yesterday morning after 8 hours on battery and unused it woke and touch was fine. This morning after 6 hours on charger, over night, it woke and touch is fine. Need more testing.
Note: yesterday afternoon I update Elementalx kernal to 1.3

Yeah elemental or stock it happens

A week or more? I can't get my nexus 7 to last more than a few hours without rebooting itself.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I see this from time to time on mine. What sucks the most is when the damn alarm is going off and I can't do anything but hold the power down to reboot. Wife loves this "feature" in the early AM.
I have an unlocked bootloader but I'm running stock kernel (3.4.0-g6537a16) and stock JSS15Q. I do see random reboots as well, seems to be related to the screen going to sleep by itself but I can't reliably reproduce it.

Happens to me as well. Annoying.

I had this on stock locked so its nothing to do with bootloader or custom kernel/ROM.
Curious if a CM based ROM will affect this i.e. not stock JSS1Q based.

Is everybody facing this touchscreen issue? I am planning to get the new nexus 7 2nd Gen from canada. Is it something you can discover in the first week itself because the person who is bringing it will get the tab a week before her return.

If you're lucky it'll show up in that time period.
Others have gone 10 days.
Have them put off buying until the last second....

Same thing happening to me. The screen becomes unresponsive. Happens in the morning when the alarm is going off and have to reboot. I just updated to ElementalX 1.4 and hoping it'll fix it. I'm hoping Google comes out with an update soon because my screen sensitivity sucks sometimes. It's not registering my taps.

It doesn't lol it's either hardware or something in 4.3base

My one, after 10 days, dead, the touch screen has no response at all
sent back to repair for over 1 week, still no news on when can return..
really bad feeling with this Nexus 7 (2013),
only Nexus 4/7/10 has no problem and still working well till now.

I faced this as well. But it solves itself.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I experienced the same issue here. However, I am not able to reboot as I am still running on stock and don't have the debug option enabled. Pushing the power bottun for some time only brings up a menu where i may chosse to shut down. As the touchscreen is not working, I cannot do anything. Unfortunately, my battery is almost completely charged. Any ideas how to reboot?
Coincidence: The touchscren went unresponsive after the alarm clock went off. Maybe there is a connection?

Here's hoping JSS15R fixes this (fat chance hah)

Hold down the power button until it reboots.
I had this issue exactly once since I got mine, and it's been fine since. I suspect it's a hardware or driver issue.

Android 4.3 Bugs

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.

In the past 2 days I have had 3 random reboots all by itself. I just hope this doesn't happen when I'm asleep because the alarm clock would not go off due to needed pattern password to fully reboot. My 6P is all stock with bootloader unlocked and not rooted yet and yes I have the Yahoo mail app installed, is this the reason for the reboots?

I have the same issue. Random reboots mostly whilst using Firefox, sometimes when FF is in the background.

My friend is having the same problem while using Bluetooth playing music in his car.

I get a reboot when using Firefox.

If you are on the latest update and still getting random boots it won't stop... I've had 4 6ps and one of them continued to random reboot 100% stock phone

Mine is getting worse 3 times already today when using Firefox. It happened a few times last week but I can't remember what app I was in now. I'm going to delete Firefox now and see if it replicates in Chrome. This is getting real annoying as my nexus 5 did this towards the end all the time. Power button failed

Since I've had my N6P its randomly reboot 3-4 times. Fully stock and its usually when I'm on Chrome or not doing anything still on MDA89D there isn't an update available yet.
Update
After I posted earlier today my phone locked up and rebooted.... Why is this happening.

I've had it reboot twice in 3 days. It happens randomly, once while browsing Chrome and the second while on Relay for Reddit.

I sold my Nexus 6 for this problem and now I'd like to buy a 6p but now I don't know if It's still a good idea

I emailed Huawei about the random reboots, I got fed up today and I did a factory reset. And guess what.... When my aps were installing again, it freaking froze and rebooted again....

I noticed the same issue in the past two days. One was during streaming music in the car, the phone suddenly went into indefinite rebooting mode, would reboot into system no problem and soon reboot again.
Second was two hours ago, didn't notice until after the reboot, all the notification were gone, had to check the uptime to determine it just rebooted.
