Random Reboot in 2.3.3, not in a call.

I have a non-rooted stock NS on 2.3.3 and the phone was just sitting on my desk doing nothing when I felt it vibrate. I picked it up to check for a text or email, but the phone was instead rebooting.
Has this happened to anyone else on this build? I have had the phone reboot while in call before, but never just sitting there in standby.

This happens to me in 2.3.2. I will have the phone just sitting there and it will randomly just be rebooting. Its not frequently enough to bother me yet but it happens on and off.

This happened to me like 2x a day with 2.3.2.
Hasnt happened once yet with 2.3.3.

I never got reboots in-call, though I did get them a couple times when I overloaded the phone's RAM.

Mine just rebooted in 2.3.3. I'm also getting "Can't connect to camera" anytime I use the Amazon barcode app which worked perfectly in 2.3.2.

Haven't tried the new update yet

I never had the in call rebooting, just overloading reboots on my nexus s. I have yet to have one since the update, but it has only been a little over 24 hours. Then again this has been happening to me since updating my nexus one be it stock, rooted, or CM6 FRF91 and FRG83D or any form of gingerbread I've used on it. The only thing I can say it it started in froyo for me.

on the new update havent had any issues.

I had the random reboot in 2.3. 2 and thought the update had fixed it.
Unfortunately it did not - i noticed the phone rebooting yesterday.
The camera has crashed twice so far, requiring a battery pull.
I am stock, non-rooted.
I also get random failed downloads and failed market updates.
Starting to get frustrating.

With all the problems you stated, it is obvious that ur rom is corrupt. I suggest you to back up all your settings, wipe everything and then reinstall a rom .

He's not rooted dude. Btw I get a reboot on every call. On cm nightly, no matter what I try/flash

I just had reboot one time with 2.3.3 but I was running all processes 72 hours, without stopping and it suffered a lot !!!

Nope.
It happens to 2 Nexus S, both stock, not even rooted. One barely has additional apps, too.
I think a lot of people don't notice the reboot, because it is silent, so if you are not looking at your phone exactly at the particular time it reboots, you wouldn't know it.
The inability to dial at times is much more annoying, IMO: you punch in a number, the phone tries to dial, then hangs up. At the same time, there are 3-4 signal bars. When it happens, it normally takes several tries to get it to work.
The crashing camera also doesn't happen every time, but it is definitely a new bug in 2.3.3.

Just had my first random reboot on 2.3.3 while phone was sat on my keyboard while at my PC.
Rooted detoxed Rom stock

My 2.3.3 phone went into the weird "Dim Screen Reboot Screen" reboot at some point during the night last night. I was late for work because the alarm clock didn't go off (I know, I know...don't depend on a cell phone alarm clock)
I'm about done with this phone. And Android. Anyone wanna buy my NS? Dead serious.

I am still hopeful, but I am losing some patience with Android.
The platform seems to be all about selling the newest hardware, but the user experience is definitely below that of the iPhone. I keep hoping that the next Android OS upgrade will close the gap, but....
The iPhone 5 will have 4" screen, with Apple's better screen aspect ratio. If it only did Flash....
Anyway, the Nexus S is really the best user experience Android has to offer, and it's overall fine. Except when it acts like WM6.

[Q] anyone getting random reboots?

its happened maybe 5 times since ive owned it now. once on a call , other times randomly as im using apps . its weird cause im using an app then it shows the nexus X logo for a bit then its back to the homescreen. but it didnt show the google logo as it normally does when it boots up. anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, I am too. There seems to be no pattern either. It reboots when watching movies, playing ingress, on the homescreen. It is completely random.
I am running a stock rooted rom with franco kernel.

Not yet

I am as well, facing the same issue. Any memory intensive apps like chrome browser usage for more than couple of hours or watching HD movies, the phone simply restarts. shows the nexus logo and brings back to the homepage... pathetic.

No problems here, using stock rom and franco r15.

My first nexus 4 (which I lost) didn't reboot at all. My new one gets into reboots cycles and it happens on most day. This is where it won't just reboot but will continually dod so. I have investigated with a number apps to try to identify a rogue app. I suspect hardware so am going to exchnge the phone (It also has some LED bleed)

stock phone, not rooted... no reboots here - uptime is 338 hours.

Running PA Rom...Franco Kernel...havent had no issues...Phone been perfect since I got it...

I'm not sure if this is related but after upgrading to 4.2 (and 4.2.1) on my Nexus 7, the stock launcher became sluggish with occasional random reboots happening (many others have reported the same behaviour). After switching to Nova Launcher, all was well again and I haven't seen a random reboot since. On my Nexus 4, I've used Nova Launcher from day one and am yet to experience a random reboot (4 days in).

Worth keeping Nexus 10?

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?

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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

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.

I would get the same issue. I would be watching a YouTube video and the volume keys won't respond at all. I would have to reboot to get them working again.

Can someone explain why this huge drop in the battery graph?
Last evening phone was charged to 100%, before sleeping phone was at 64%. But when i woke up phone was in deep deep sleep mode, couldn't unlock the phone. After long press of power button phone got restarted & battery level was at 14%.

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.
