Worth keeping Nexus 10? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I wanted people's opinion on whether I should keep my Nexus 10, as I am having problems with the tablet randomly restarting and creek in the back cover. I know that the back cover problems are relatively common, however it seems that most people are no longer having problems with random restarts any longer.
Do people think that the restarts are only a software problem?
I bought it at Walmart, and did buy the extended warranty for it.
Thanks,
Airbus001

Creaking is common, so I wouldn't worry about that. If your tablet still restarts often with Current and Chrome disabled, I would exchange it. Even with the 2 enabled on mine, I rarely get a restart.

Why would the random reboots be fixed, there was no update?

Depends on the time period. There was an update from 4.2 to 4.2.1

Nexus 10 Rebooting

I have noticed that my nexus 10, which i received today, reboots itself whenver i put it in sleep mode. Also, when charging it turns itself off. These problems never occur during use, just when it is in sleep mode. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

I've seen this once. I'd just put the tab down, lock screen active but display still on and bam! I was pretty shocked.
I'd be much more pissed off if it happened during use though!
Mine has locked up about 5 times since yesterday.....

This was happening on mine as well. It stopped after I updated the device, so I think it might be a software issue.
There's a long thread on this in the Q&A section. A lot of people are noticing it. Hopefully Google fixes it in a software update soon.

Mine has stopped rebooting, but it still turns itself off after a few minutes of being asleep. Any solutions? Or should I consider a return?
4.2 definitely needs an update. Freezing everywhere, gesture typing is sluggish, reboots and lock-ups.....was not expecting this :/
Honestly, I've not experienced any of this. I'm only playing a few games and browsing mostly though so maybe I'm not doing something that triggers it. One of the N7's I bought did that, and I returned it. If you reflash the stock image and clear data and it still does this I would suggest getting a return. I've had no real software problems with mine.
Man, you all have me really worried. My wife bought me a n10, and it's sitting in the closet because it's a christmas present. If it's having software issues, that's one thing....hardware issues are a whole other animal..I need to make sure the hardware isn't bad before I miss out on the return period.

I had similar issues with the first one I received. CONSTANT reboots, occasional freezes and shutdowns. Returned it for a new one, which I received today, and for what it is worth, I haven't noticed the same problems at all yet with the new unit. So, at least in my case, it does appear to have been a hardware issue...

[Q] Is 4.2 to blame for the problems on my nexus 7?

ever since i upgraded to 4.2 my nexus 7 has been rebooting randomly,dosent matter how much charge i have or if im using it or not,it just happened 5 mins ago while laying there on standby. it never did it while it was on 4.1,since i got it i have rooted it and unlocked the bootloader and then when i upgraded it unrooted. bootloader is still unlocked (i still have the padlock on startup). has anyone else been experiencing this since their upgrade or is mine just faulty? ive read that some have had similar issues since the update but nothing thats only random. ive also noticed decreased battery life and sometimes not as buttery smooth as google promised.
Many people have problems because of the 4.2 update, I recommend you to back up your apps and reflash stock, and do all the ota updates right after that. I did this and my N7 got smoother and it has a better battery life now
Hope this helps.

I'm also having this random reboot issue since 4.2 update. So far it has rebooted only once when I was using it, while all other times it's just sitting there idle on my desk and it reboots. I also agree with batter life, it hasn't been great compare to 4.1.2.
Had the reboot issue at first also, but after updating all my apps ( as they became available) it seems to have stopped. No reboots for a few days now!

I know that since 4.2 my N7 lags like no tomorrow. Pulse doesn't even want to work most of the time. Listening to music while browsing is annoying. I might go back to the previous version.
There is a whole thread on this topic. Better to keep the discussion of reboots on one place.

Well I don't know what is the problem inside the update but when I installed the ROM as rooted one in the development forum it was unresponsive and lagged... Then I returned it to the last version of 4.1.2 and then applied the properly ota and now it runs battery smooth and no more problems here, well except for the flicker that is still here
Sent from my Nexus 7 with 4.2 and I love it....so **** logic its great
+1 for battery life being crappy. I haven't had any of the other issues you described; 4.2 is a lot smoother imo I just assumed that is why the battery drains a bit faster. But the battery life convinced me to go back to 4.1.2.

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.

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 haven't faced any issues with the stock 4.3 even when i was not rooted(few days ago).Actually i find stock 4.3 better than 4.2.

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?
edit: I'm on M6.0 MDB08K
Are running the latest version of Android? Which build are you on? Amazon app was causing random reboots and shut downs on my Nexus 6, that is why I asked.

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

My 6P is on M6.0 MDB08K. I was thinking of updating this weekend straight to MDB08M or do I need to update to MDB08L first?
You should be able to upgrade to M just fine...try that and see if that gets rid of the issues...I hope it does

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.
