Random reboots anyone else?

I'm having some random reboots, they are hot reboots not full. Anyone else having the same problem? I'm completely stock and no rogue apps that I'm aware of. It has happened a few times last 20 mins while browsing on xda app. Thanks

Must either be bad silicone, or a bad rogue app... You can try a factory reset and try again! Also this needs to be in the Q&A section, this is not a general topic.

I had it reboot after I took a picture, then I swiped to left to see the picture while in camera mode. Zoomed in on the picture, heard some screeching sounds (probably from auto focus of camera?) and then it rebooted.
I hasn't tried to reproduce it, but I do hear the screeching once in a while if I go into picture view from camera mode.

I have had random reboots with my nexus 7 on 4.2, so I think it's more of a software issue than anything else.

I've just had one full reboot when watching a you tube clip. Nothing to worry about unless it happens frequently. I haven't owned a phone that hasn't rebooted or frozen at some point.

I've had about 4 restarts since getting it yesterday. Also happens on my Nexus 7. Thinking it may be an app on my google account but my Nexus 4 is pretty much stock.. Not sure what it is.

Have gotten it on the nexus 7 once but not on the nexus 4.

It is just 4.2 bugs supposedly. I am sure it will be fixed.

I have random reboots. As of yesterday, my phone rebooted 3 times. This morning I woke up, luckily before my alarm normally goes off, and notices my phone screen was on, but nothing was actually on the screen. I pressed the power button a few times and nothing happened. I unplugged the phone from the charger, tried it again, and notice the screen flicker, and then reboot. This morning it's already rebooted once.
Most of the time I was in Google Play Store, so I cleared the cache and data, and let it update to the newest version, so hopefully that fixes it. I sure hope I don't have a lemon. I really hope that the phone acting weird doesn't happen again, I can't afford to miss my alarm going off.

Mine has turned off on me twice since I got it. I think I was using bluetooth both times, but I can't be sure. Anyways, the Galaxy Nexus had issues like this when it first came out and the new Windows Phones have rebooting issues as well. I think Google rushed Android 4.2 out, but I'm sure everything will be stable after another OTA or two. That's the worst and best part about having a Nexus. You get brand new software first, so you sometimes feel like a beta tester, but you also get the fixes extremely quickly.

Glad I'm not the only one having random reboots. My n4 has rebooted twice this morning (within 2hrs). One hot and one cold.

+1 random hot reboots on my nexus 7 stock rooted 4.2. Happening at least 4-5 times a day, its becoming somewhat tedious now

no reboots so far :fingers-crossed:

I've had 1 random reboot while watching a YouTube video.

it seems there is some issue with android, not just now.. because the same thing happen a lot on the nexus 7 and Gnex.

Same happened to me today but i wasnt able to recreate issue.
I heard some screeching sound and then screen frozen and there it rebooted.
But after that i tryed to take pictures and i heard that screeching again but it not rebooted.
This was my frist time that Nexus 4 rebooted.
So
Software or Hardware issue?

I didn't have a reboot but shut off. First time yesterday and had the phone since Nov 20th. It wouldn't turn back on, not even charge .. Took maybe 30mins then it turned on. I was just texting, put the phone down.. Screen shutoff, wanted to text again and nothing. I have it unlocked and rooted only.. Stock everything.

4.2.2 just random rebooted
My nexus 4 now on 4.2.2 just randomly rebooted for the 1st time.
I 'm dissapointed. Waited for this OTA for a couple months now for it to just fix this issue and it's still here? :/
I just can't be angry at the device cause i 'm absolutely in love with it. Best device ever made and 4.2.1 (and 4.2.2) are amazingly consistent and stable, but for this issue.
pff just hope that we don't have to wait till KLP for this to be worked out.

Multiple copies of sms being sent

So my wife has been having these issues with her phone lately. When she sends an sms it will duplicate it sometimes up to 30 messages will be sent when only 1 was intended to be sent. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the cause? She is using the stock messaging app with stock rooted rom. I believe that super user access is disabled on it too.

Try doing a factory reset and see if that helps

Back up with Google!
Make sure your accout and contacts are backed up to Google before you reset.

So nobody has any idea or experience with the issue?

He probably doesn't want to do a factory reset on his wife's phone. I've done it before and you get *****ed at for days because they can never get it just like they had it before.
You might try backing up her messages and clearing all data on the sms app. See if it fixes it. If it does, restore the old messages and continue to test.
Edit: If that doesn't work, boot into recovery and clear dalvik cache and cache, then re-flash your ROM. That should fix it.
I'm guessing she's running the ROM you released in the dev section way back or a variant of it?
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

That's exactly it. Full wipe is pretty much the last possibility before buying her a new phone haha. I'm have to wipe caches and wipe data on the sms app. She hates when anything is changed and I hear about it for a couple of days. She is running the debloated one that I did awhile back.

Man, I'm good
Did you try reflashing? Nothing major should change.

Not quite yet, the seems sporadic so she's not that worried about it I guess. I read somewhere that it could also be a bad signal issue also.

please help, my gps stopped working

so, today, i needed to look up driving directions and my phone would not lock in. i thought it was kinda strange, so when i got home i did some research. attached are the gps test results. I know that it's the phone, because when i checked it on my nexus 10, it locks in right away. i tested both of them next to each other. i tried using the gmps status app to clear A-gps data and doing resets with the gps status apps, but it did not help. it's no driving me crazy since most people are happy with their gps in the nexus 4 and seem to be able to lock in within seconds. i've left maps on for minutes with no success. i've already checked both google settings in the accounts and location to be on.
i recently started charging my phone with the lg wireless orb. do you think that's the issue? how can i fix this? it's driving me crazy.

It seems to see the satellites, but can't lock in.

You've tried rebooting, right?

Kinda hoping to avoid that unless there's no other option. Don't really want to go through the hassle of setting everything up again

Screen unresponsive

Basically, my N7's screen is frequently unresponsive. I was trying to start something in my launcher, and tried pressing it at least 6 times, but nothing happened. Then I tried swiping between launcher pages, and that worked just fine the first time.
This just started happening on an almost constant basis within the last 30-60 minutes, and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or heard of anyone else experiencing it. I'm running the latest Minimus with Jassy's latest kernel (I just flashed them this morning, but it was probably 4-5 hours ago at least), with the DPI set to 290 (I just raised it from 280 to see if that would help anything). I also cleared the cache and dalvik.
Any ideas?

My girlfriends tablet has done that too, then it just randomly goes back to just fine

Why don't you try stock and see if you have an issue. This would allow you to rule things out at least.

Same issue here...both stock and CleanROM

me as well. And this is my second tablet after returning the first one for dead pixels

My tablet is stock rooted and I have just experienced this. I had to reboot in order to fix it. Hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Same here this has happened to me on stock, but a reboot fixed it.

I've only experienced this using Chrome. it got so bad that I'm using the molasses-in-the-winter-going-up-hill Firefox browser just to be able to web surf.

Same here stock, and clean ROM.. Haven't noticed anything on kanged cm nor pa yet. Can't get otg to work worth a crap either I bought chainfires app to help with otg worked with stock based ROMs but not cm based ROMs .. I'm pissed I bought the 16 GB model..

It happened to me as well (complete stock). Mostly (if not all) instances were with Chrome. I don't remember it happening again since I switched to Chrome beta. (Fingers crossed).

I just took mine back to Best Buy and exchanged it for the 32gb model. The guy at the store asked if anything was wrong with the tablet and I told him that it would freeze up and I would have to reboot in order to fix it. He told me that all tablets and phones freeze like that and that I should reboot the device at least once a day to prevent the freezing of the screen. I thanked him and told him that I would do that. These salesmen must think that everyone is as dumb as they are.
I hope my new tablet doesn't have the same problem, because if it does I might give up on the new nexus 7.

So I have to return my n7...

Once a day it freezes and won't boot to save my life... Went into recovery and erased all data but that is only a temp fix... I thought this tablet was amazing but I've had nothing but issues the past 4 days... In afraid to exchange it and then it mess up on me after my 30 days is up and I'm stuck with a broken tablet.

It is called a warranty. That is what we use when we have issues. They repair or replace it, and then you are good to go again.

The only fix I've found is to reflash the stock image (or CM).
Something is wrong with the stock image which is why wiping isn't fixing it. It reboots and eventually bootloops one day.
Flash CM or download and reflash stock. You'll be amazed. I've got 4 guys who've done this and all are good now. I'm over 200 hours on CM and 180 before I manually rebooted.
Edit:
LoLz. Link above is one of the guys who fixed their tabs. I also made a thread about it to make it a little more obvious.
