Anybody want to try a possible fix or mitigation for random reboots?

UPDATE: don't need anyone testing this anymore as it is not fixing most reboots
Can someone who is running custom recovery and has bad/frequent reboots install the attached file and see if it alleviates your reboots?
Please let me know what version of the OS you are running and if you are on JSS15J or JSS15Q, whether you updated via factory image or OTA.
I am 99.99% sure nothing bad will happen to your system. This will not disable your ability to get OTAs, nor change any system files, nor affect touchscreen, nor affect GPS, ...

I'm running a version of cm which has worked better than stock but still a daily reboot. What is this file going to alter / Will it work on cm?

If it works, it should work ok with CM as long as you run it in TWRP.
It doesn't actually touch the ROM. It uses the kernel to reset the DDR3 memory timings and allows the system to retrain.

Thanks, I like to know what I'm flashing. Just flashed, will report back.

Could you tell me what OS you are running and whether you've run an OTA before?

I'm on 15Q odex stock ROM. I never had an ota before.
I rooted and unlocked the boot loader and flash this ROM yesterday.

Just had a reboot on mine as well.
Running build 8 of this:

[ROM][CM10.2][4.3][CyanogenMod FLO Kangs][DJL10.2][LINARO][Build 8][2013/08/25]

Ok, then it looks like this won't fix the random reboots.
Sorry, back to your regularly schedule program.

im on clean rom with elemental x 1.2 and i have never had a reboot or anything bad happen since. i did have issues on stock 4.3 with small tweaks but since clean rom i have had no issues whatsoever
Edit also was on slim bean flo and had same issues so it's something messed up in the rom i would assume and not the software version it self

[Q] N4 on Paranoid Android : Camera not working, no signal, doesn't detect sim

So I just Installed PA 3.99.1-RC1-20130914 and PA_GApps-20131018
It's strange to see that there was no Google Chrome by default along with the following issues :
- Camera is not working - on opening the app it simply says Can't connect to camera.
- There is no signal and on searching for networks, it asks for sim.
- Also the PA_OTA app says unable to check for updates, though I'm able to download apps.

Did you come from 4.2? Did you flash the new radio?

Coming from 4.3 . I hadn't flashed it earlier, did just now, Doing factory reset and reinstalling PA and GApps. Hope it helps.

Got stock image and flashed it to make sure everything is latest, flashed PA again but same issues.
Can it be because I'm using 3.99.1 ?
Back to stock for now. Need the SIM to work atleast.

Many problems with 4.4.2 on Nexus 4

Hey guys, I've been having A LOT of issues with the new updates. First the 4.4 and then the 4.4.2 that didn't solve a thing. I've installed them via OTA but after that i've already did:
- factory reset
- installed via fastboot 4.3, then updated via OTA to 4.4.2
- installed via fastboot 4.4, then updated via OTA to 4.4.2
- factory reset AGAIN - installed via fastboot 4.4.2.
I don't know what do to anymore! I can't take pictures because nexus just turns off the moment i take one. I can't install facebook, twitter or instagram and another random apps... And btw, is it normal that in 10 minutes the battery charges to 1% to 50%? i think i never noticed that...
BUT WHAT DO I DO? PLEASE HELP!
UPDATE:
This problem is solved, it was the battery. I've changed the screen recently and it needed a new battery too. Thanks to everyone that tried to help me

If you don't know how to use fastboot, use the Wugfresh toolkit, makes life very easy. It has the drivers, downloads recoveries, root files and the factory images. Really is easy with that.

Guys, like I said I used fastboot to install 4.4.2, it still didn't work. I followed this guide googlenexusforum.com/forum/nexus-4-roms/4046-guide-flash-stock-option-using-android-sdk-tools.html

Hey, guys, I haven't updated it to 4.4.2 yet cause my phone is rooted so I'm asking is it worth to go through all the process again? And if yes can anyone state the new features? ☺ thx a lot!

Looks like a hardware issue to me. Probably your battery is faulty... Could explain the shut downs and trying to use the camera usually drains more battery so again that could it be. Could you be more specific about the other errors that you get?

Hardware? It started to happen only when I updated the first time via OTA to 4.4.
I open the camera, I try to take a picture, the flash goes on and then the phone goes off. Sometimes I can turn it on and the battery it's the same, sometimes I can't turn it on without connecting to the charger because it goes off when I go to insert the PIN.
Well, after I understood that the problem was that apps, when I turned the WI-FI on, the phone immediately turned off after that I unistalled that apps and when I turned the WI-FI on I could go on Chrome and Play Store, and installed some apps (like n7 player) and everything was OK.
One time I installed Twitter and I used it for a bit and everything seemed fine but then I installed Facebook and the phone crashed again so I unistalled both. Same with Instagram.
I don't know how much more specific I can be... I really need help :s

it's not hardware. anyone who had this phone running pre 4.3 aosp will remember the camera issues and the clicking noises that went along with the focusing and then the reboots. the battery charging is also a widely experienced issue as well as going from a full charge to 50% in a few minutes. I'm getting the camera bug again on 4.4.2 hope a .3 build pops up soon to deal with it. I'm also 100% stock no root

exactly this is happening but on 4.4.2
BTW, when I'm charging the phone, none of this problems happens. I can install and use all apps and use the camera.

if I were having all those issues I'd try installing the Factory Image again or maybe try 4.4.1 and then use the OTA to update. BUT there is definitely some bugs in the latest KK release

I did all of that as I refered in the beggining... I will try to install 4.4.1 though, that was the only thing I didn't do, but I doubt it's gonna work, because installing 4.4 and 4.4.2 didn't solve a thing

sorry about the double post but there isn't the factory image for 4.4.1 here... https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamkot49h .
I tried to flash 4.4.2 following this guide http://rirozizo.blogspot.pt/2013/11/guide-how-to-flash-factory-images-from.html and when I turned it on I had no signal.. what does that mean? I guess it didn't worked..

The latest factory images are 4.4.2, that's why you didn't see 4.4.1 on Google's server. When you flash factory images, your radio will also be updated. When you flash a custom ROM, your radio doesn't get updated, that's why you had problem with cell signal. Or flash the appropriate radio for the ROM.

The phone asked me to insert PIN and then I had cell signal again.. Should I flash 4.4.2 again flashing the radio too? Because I have the feeling that this will not solve my problem. Like I said in the beggining I followed another guide to flash my phone, and in that guide it said to flash radio and "bootloader-mako..." (not sure what that is) and the cell signal problem still happened and then I couldnt install Facebook or Twitter or had my location on or using the camera without the phone turning off or rebooting...
EDIT: The phone just turned off when updating Google apps, so yeah... Didn't work :s

You said that when a PIN is input, the phone has signal again which means it's not a radio issue. Did you set up a PIN in the security section in your phone?

No this is just something that started to happen along with the other problems... Sometimes the phone loses signal for no reason and goes to the PIN input screen.

Which radio are you using? It should be .98 if you are on KitKat 4.4.2. You can flash a standalone radio zip file in recovery.

I don't know I will check later because now I'm not home. But when can I find that zip file and if I flash that it will only solve the cell signal thing right?

[Q] Rooted with TriForce ROM, phone keeps crashing?

I rooted my phone using CWM and flashed TriForceROM a few months ago, and everything was wonderful till about a month or so afterward, and now at random when it's idle it'll crash? I'll go to unlock it, the Menu and Back buttons on the bottom will flash, and then I'll have to wait a few minutes and press the power button (sometimes a couple times) and after vibrating once or twice it'll boot up to the Samsung splash screen.
I managed to do some research and found it might be just because it's rooted, but since the problem didn't start until a good bit after the root I was thinking maybe (hopefully) it's something else? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Any help appreciated ^_^

I will assume you are running KT's kernel because that is a known problem for some people on his kernel.
Reflash Tri force and choose change mods. Choose stock and all will be well.

I might have, I don't think I went in and changed much. I'll do that. Thanks!!
Just checked (remembered you can look at the kernel through settings. D'oh), and it is indeed KT's kernel. Yay for being able to fix it and still have the ROM!

Hello,
I found this ROM to be great, operates really well but I have two problems.
Firstly, the LED notification indicator does not work at all, including when plugged in.
Secondly, whenever I enter my SD card into the phone it seems to be unable to mount. I receive the message "SDcard safe to remove now" almost as soon as I plugged it in like I unmounted it.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

The Best rom!
Hi! I have a question... Will be lollipop for us? This rom is amazing (Sorry for my bad english) LOL!

want lollipop for this phone!!

Note: problem solved with new update, clean installed.
I keep getting a random "updating camera firmware. Please wait.." message, I'm not even using the camera it just pops randomly when opening apps. Anyone know what's wrong . it takes at least 20 seconds till it stops popping up and disappears. I'm paranoid that I have an app that's taking photos and uploading them without me knowing.

No LTE on Kangapop 1.0
FYI -- Just clean flashed kangapop 1.0 -- and I got no LTE capabilities, even if I try to manually change it in cellular settings.
Tried both the loki'd googy and loki'd stock kernel -- no difference in behavior, still no LTE.
Otherwise a very promising ROM! Can't wait for version 1.1

[Kangapop] Can't get LTE on Rogers
Tried the select LTE and then reboot trick a few times and LTE still won't work. Anyone else having this issue? I am on Rogers.

Mine also has TWRP 2.8.0.1.

I did that too and it wasn't working. Until I started driving home and then suddenly it started working again. LTE is functioning again for me, but it took like an hour to find an LTE connection the first time.

Encryption
Has anyone been able to get the device encrypted after flashing this ROM? I am using the TWRP recovery and flashed the latest build after wiping everything instructed to. I picked the google loki kernel. When I try to encrypt I just get the new loading screen and it never begins the encryption process. After that it tells me that the encryption process failed and the only way to do anything at that point is to flash back to stock with Odin. I have been using CWM with the 4.4.4 ROMs and able was able to encrypt no problem. I did notice I wasn't able to encrypt using TWRP and the 4.4.4 9.0 Kangakat but I am able to encrypt using that same ROM and the CWM recovery. I hope I am doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated and welcome. Thank you

Menu buttons on screen like a nexus phone, not using the samsung buttons?
Hi,
I fell in love in first sight with this rom! However, there is one thing I can't seem to figure out what I've done wrong (maybe it's because of the beer, lol..)
I have the default nexus buttons like if it was a Google phone. Here is what I tried so far :
I tried the Stock Google options, and the 2nd option for the Bell Canada available (not AT&T).
I would like to have the Samsung buttons available for use instead of the Google nexus menu. Correct me if I did anything wrong throughout the installation but I believe I've tried most of the options that were available to me but I can't seem to find what I've done wrong.
Thanks in advance for the help and sick rom Buddy, keep doing the gr8 work!
edit; I'm running the Apex launcher

I keep getting a notification to update KANGAKAT to lollipop, how can I get rid of it? Thanks
