So I am getting random reboots like crazy in 4.4.1+ - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So ever since I installed a 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 based ROM
I have been getting Random lock ups to where it freezes then reboots
The only few things I can think of is to reflash stock image and start over or get a new charger because my current charger is kinda a cheap one
Any suggestions?

Any updates on if/how you fixed this? This is driving me crazy.. Been happening for the past two weeks and recently it's been happening more frequently.

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?

Nexus 4 aokp sound not working

Hey so I've been running aokp for a few days now, and suddenly I noticed that the sound isn't working, not for notifications, not for music, videos, anything. Not even when the headset is plugged in. So I flashed my stock Rom backup and it still isn't working, any ideas?? Thanks!

Ok this is weird, sound just started working on my stock Rom. Haven't tried aokp yet, the restore backup of stock Rom took 30 minutes and I need to sleep soon so I don't want to risk hanging to stay awake for it, it normally takes 3 minutes to restore backups though, idk what's wrong

I'm having a pretty same problem here, the only difference is that I'm running Paranoid Android on my Nexus 4. Do you find any solution yet?

Anyone having problems with random reboots? (Nexus Logo fast reboot)

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.

Using stock rom unrooted. Never happen to me

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.

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.

Thanks, it turned out to be Snapchat!

Chrome randomly crashed on a sandboxed_process:0 with crash type Native Crash.

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!

Nexus 4 restarting at random times since 4.3.?

My Nexus 4 does get hot (who's doesn't) and when it does, it likes to restart. This hasn't always been the case, only since the 4.3 update. It happens on Snapchat, Instagram, Google+, XDA and others. Any ideas why? Anybody else?

Hi,
Mine is getting hot, but never rebooted.
using instagram, google+, xda, facebook all this and all good.
The reboots occur to my device but the device doesn't get hot, probably related to the JSS15 deadlocks?
So why you don't came back on stable 4.2.2?

Mine does on snapchat
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Mine does this at random times (recording video, typing a text). Happens every 2-3 days since I upgraded. Going to wipe it and put 4.2.2 back again.
Mine is running great doesn't seem to hut down anymore. 4.2.2 always did while charging and Wi-Fi.. Not anymore
Sent from my Nexus 4
Mine only reboots on Skype video calling, but that has been confirmed on Skype forums to be a known bug with 4.3, also it doesn't seem related to heat.
