Random reboots - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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.
Sent from my beloved Nexus 4
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.

Repeated notifications?

Since yesterday I get repeated notifications for the same thing. For example I'll get a Twitter or Facebook notification. I'll click it and take action in the app, the notification is now gone as normal. A few minutes later I'll get the same notification again! Was wondering if this had something to do with Google Services Framework update since I'm running stock rom and this problem just started yesterday. Very odd. Anyone else?

I got repeat notifications on twitter yesterday as well. Just as u described. Hopefully it was a twitter problem.

Nope. I'm getting them on Facebook too. Think its a Google Push Notification issue that's related to the Google Services Framework update. That's my guess.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I'm getting the same issues on my Nexus 7 too so it definitely appears to be a server issue and not device specific. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Facebook was weird yesterday.

Slow Nexus 7..

For some reason my Nexus 7 is strangely slow lately idk why, but I want to know if anyone else has seen there Nexus 7 lagging? And if anyone knows how to speed it up? Posting screen shot of my system info.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Exactly the same here. Typing's hard work, and tapping icons or buttons can take a couple of tries before it registers. All updated and tried a reboot.
You should upgade to 4.2.2, make full wipe and start from scratch. Then you will see if lag is still there.

Try lagfix(fstrim) anyway it free and took only a few seconds to finish it's job. Even you're already have more than 5 GB free but in the old kernel seem to have a problem with nand flash controller.

Just disable auto-brightness (not joking, it works).

Simpsons Tapped Out

I'm running stock rooted and since day one with this phone, the Simpsons game has been choppy and crashes often. I've sent quiet a bit of reports once it crashes, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Mine is choppy (low frame rate) occasionally - it was more noticeable during the recent halloween event. Seems ok now since the thanksgiving update.
It does crash quite frequently though - maybe one out of every three or four sessions.
I play daily and it crashes at least once every time I play it. Used to have sgs4 I337 running gpe Roms and it wouldn't work at all. Warrantied a bad headset speaker and here I am. The new sgs4 AT&T sent me had a locked boot loader and no root android 4.3. I didn't want a galaxy phone so sold it for 400 bought the nexus 5.
Level 37 now. Same as zulugod stated was laggy with Halloween update, better now.

In 37, it does have fps lag and crashes like six times before I can assign everyone to tasks

Ok glad it's not just me. I'm hoping in the next play store update, They'll fix it or something.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Every time it crashes I send the report. So I'm sure someone will eventually take a look and issue a small patch.
