Anyone having problems with random reboots? (Nexus Logo fast reboot) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My nexus 4 started rebooting once every 1-2 days randomly.
It isn't like a full reboot it just shows the nexus logo and then the homescreen, the whole process takes less than 10 seconds.
It occurs randomly, once at the homescreen.

It isn't happening to me. Try using a different ROM/kernel combo or a factory reset.

You might try a data/factory reset, save important files to the pc first. Or it may be an app (incompatible or corruped in some way) that causes this issue.

At least 2 threads on here already about random reboots. Try to not use any widgets that user location services, or try disable location services (unless you need them) until Google releases a fix.

Happened about two times to me when using the camera, very strange.

I'm using widgets that use location services as well (Beautiful Widgets) but never experienced a random reboot. From what I know, the nexus 4 and nexus 7 are both known for having this problem though.

This happened to my wife's n4 a lot. She wanted to return it but I convinced her to let me try something first. I flashed factory images and she hasn't had any reboots yet.

Nexus 7 rebooting when stressed

Just got my n7 and the first thing that has happened to me when I go to watch a video or play a game the tab will freeze the screen will go white and then would reboot. I am on stock rom, not rooted and I have about 5gb free. I already called google for rma but it seems that the process is very slow. Is this a hardware problem ?

Mine never had a force reboot. It seems yours is faulty.
Try reinstalling the factory image
I would try that but I think its hardware now. When it crashes it does so in a similar matter to bsod on windows. The last sound would loop for a few seconds then reboot or turn off.

Random reboots

Had the phone for just over 24 hours and have had two random reboots. Anyone else or is it just me?

Nop' Just you !
Perhaps it's something I've installed.

Lots of apps haven't updated for 4.2 yet...
And I trust you've installed the OTA update?
Yep, updated almost immediately.
If it keeps doing it I'll start uninstalling stuff.... I suspect something with an active widget, so HD Widgets or Astrid...

Don't have that problem here

Have had 3 reboots in 3 days twice while using Dolphin browser and once when using the mini info app.
My first was half way through a YouTube video, the second was just after loading tapatalk I think....

I think its the apps not being updated for 4.2 tbh. I got the launcher to FC on me with Friend caster not long after I posted.
I hope so, but I've not had a single random reboot on my N7. Plenty of FCs mind you!

I actually had a random reboot about 20 minutes ago. I have an HD Widget clock on my lockscreen. I think mine happened while using Tapatalk though. Glad someone else experienced this. It was my only one so far though but I've had the phone <24 hours
I might try taking my HD Widgets off for a while.

I'm using HD Widgets and have not had any force closes. I have one on my home screen and another on a lock screen. However, it does seem to be using a lot of battery (7% of usage).
Hmm.. I haven't had any reboots yet, working perfectly.

I had some random reboots. I think about 10 since friday...
Have had 2 random reboots. Once during Netflix testing 20 minutes into Breaking Bad and once when I turned on the phone and the screen was frozen for a few seconds.
I've had the phone since Thursday haven't had any random reebots

Phone restarting itself?

Has this happened to anyone? Just started happening today for me after I flashed factory ROM for the second time. Do you think it's the device or software issue?

You using HD Widget app by any chance?
.....yes lol. Did that widget cause your phone to reboot too?

My phone has rebooted twice and that is the only widget I'm using. I'm on rooted stock rom. A few other people said it was that app that caused the Nexus 7 to reboot so I'm guessing it's the same reason for our phone. I haven't used the widget for 3 days now and no rebooting since.
Overheating?
I had been watching Netfilx on my Nexus 4 using mobile data and my phone just restarted by itself. I was also charging it at the time, after it reset, I checked the temp. and it was at 102 f. I'm not sure why this happened, but it is the second time while I was using Netfilx, I didn't check the temp the first time... I'm starting to get worried, is it just me? Is it just because the phone is doing too much? Am I alone in this?

Randomly crashing after 4.3 update!

My Nexus 4 just started randomly started crashing after the 4.3 update ... Anyone having the same issue?? Please help...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Hmm. the Nexus 4 I'm using doesn't have that issue. Sounds like you have an app incompatibility with Android 4.3. I would suggest combing your apps, or doing a factory reset.

In three days I've had the phone reboot three times, all within the first hour after unplugging it. Twice it rebooted while I wasn't using it and once while sending an email. I'm completely stock and did a factory reset yesterday.

The exact same thing happened as well.. How did the factory reset affect the performance?
Thanks

I fixed my snapchat issue by clearing my snapchat data and cache and uninstalling and reinstalling the app!

Experiencing random freezes on 7.1.2

An about a month ago switched to 7.1.2 from 6.0.1.
Stock rooted version. The phone is one and a half years old.
Since then I'm having random freezes that only pressing the power button and reboot will help.
I can't figure out what causes these freezes.
Anybody else having this ?

How did you update to 7.1.2 was it stock image ?
Yes. Stock image

Try a factory reset see if that helps really hard to say. Are you using substratum try removing overlays. If using custom kernel resore to stock. If it was me I would completely wipe my phone including internal. Then flash a fresh factory image to rule out any software related issues. Just make sure you back up all your pics etc.
I'm using stock kernel. The freezes are random. Can't figure out what triggers them.
The freeze can be while the phone connected to charger, lying on a table or when I on Facebook or something else...

There apps that you can get that will show you logs of what's going on in the background. Catlog or syslog are ones that I know of. They can be hard to understand but might give you some clues to what's going on. After the phone does it thing quickly check the log and see if any errors from apps and such that stand out.
