Hi all
I am thinking of buying the new nexus 7 but am put of somewhat by reports of random restarts and shut downs on the new nexus.
Anyone on here experienced this. Is it a major issue?
Thanks all

For the people experiencing it, yes. Can be once or twice a day, or every 10 minutes. No predicting.
Can lead to data corruption, or even damage the OS to the point of not booting.
Note that this is quite real, but obviously not widespread.
Purchase only from a source that offers a very good return /exchange policy.

I have experienced the issue, but uninstalling apps fixed the issue. For example, yahoo mail caused lots of random reboots for me, but disappeared when I removed it.

I bought a nexus 7 and I had a static noise issue but no other one at the moment. I was going to exchange it but my second one had random reboots. Super annoying since it was random.
I kept my original one with the static noise at low volume which now has been running for 2 days straight.

So my nexus is lagging espically in the play store, in the stock launcher and in some other aspects of the os, how can i fix this? i reset the device already, and changed some settings in developers options but didnt help much. Should i return the tablet as i might have a lemon?
Am I the only one experiencing lag on my nexus?

This is at least the 3rd thread you started with a problem. 2 were for lag, one was overheating. If you have all these issues, return it.
mine seems fine. do you play games on yours? maybe something is running in the background?
Do a factory reset. Mine has zero lag

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.
I've been having random reboots ever since.....well, a long time ago. No matter what ROM, kernel, or android version, it still persists. It happens at least 5 times a day. Sometimes 10. It even does it when I have zero downloaded apps.
Now that I'm done complaining, I'd like some help solving this formidable problem. Has anyone experienced the same thing? What can I do to stop it? Etc.
This is with an 8gb WiFi.
Thanks

After a reboot, you can know what cause this reboot with "last_kmsg" log. Look here for how to get it : https://code.google.com/p/tegraowners-ics-rom/wiki/How_to_get_logs
OK I did that. I scrolled through the unending file and at the bottom it said, "no errors found". Does this mean it doesn't know what caused the reboot, or did I miss something?

My nexus 7 rebooted while typing out this reply....so frustrating that this just happens out of nowhere. At least five times a day for me too.
Can't be the rom...I've been on pa 3.0 for a while and it was stable before. I don't think it's the kernel because I've flashed the top 3 kernels and it fixes nothing.
I am thinking it's a rogue app because my nexus is also draining battery very quickly and something is causing non stop wake locks and keeping my device from sleeping. Now I have to hunt down this app out of my 100+ apps
Android can be very frustrating at times

Revert to pure stock and if the problem persists assume that you have a hardware defect. Hardware defects are not curable with software - they are cured by replacement of the hardware. ( BTW, If you ran your device for significant lengths of time at extreme OC levels, you might have caused the damage; but that is for you to decide)
Mine has rebooted once in three months - but I could reproduce the crash ( using Chrome Beta on a specific WebGL demo ). That is very different than a spontaneous crash though, so I guess I could say it has *never* happened to me - and I have used the tab extensively every day for those three months.
I had a nexus 7 and Asus transformer tf300 and a sold them to buy the nexus 10, nice tablet but this is getting annoying with apps crashing all the time and I did not have that problem with the other ones. I bought this one las Sunday and came with 4.2.2 so my question is a software or hardware problem? I have been looking around and applying different solutions but nothing.
Thank you.

root and after, try a new kernel

you can make restarts ocure more rarely using one of this variants but they still remains .
try a custom rom also . mr robinsons for example
if the problem persist ... get it back and forget nexus 10

Dang, was hoping for new batch before I RMA
Thanks for quick reply
Same problem here.
I've had the same problem too. All was working fine for around a month, but now I'm finding that apps will crash for no reason. It doesn't have to be when they're being "touched", they'll sometimes just self-destruct with no prompting from myself. A reboot seems to fix it for a while, but the problem seems to come back. Anyone found a solution to this? I'm not keen to install a custom rom as that shouldn't be necessary!
nexus 10 crashing
The same for me, everyday i have to restart it, apps keep crashing all day. I think its the ekynos, my galaxy nexus doesnt behave in that way and i have more apps installed.
I think the problem is related to memory leak. When the apps starts to crash the free memory is running really low, sometimes even below 50mb and all background services are restarting and being killed by system over and over again. A system reboot can fix this until the free memory running low again. Aokp and some other custom roms alleviated this problem, but no one fix it. Maybe Android 4.3 or 5.0 might fix this.

Hi all,
I am currently on Cleanrom 1.3 with faux kernel. No overclock. Today I took my nexus off the charger and it rebooted itself. I understand that using custom kernel and rom will cause some instability but I've heard that the newest nexus 7 does have random reboots stock. I am still under return period, and I am just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and will you keep this knowing it might be a software issue.

I am on stock.
I had a reboot problem with mine. It showed about %50 battery life when it would first startup, then suddenly it would reboot, and continue the boot loop. I reset/clear cache and it would still happen. Then I fully charged the battery then it worked again. I exchanged it because I don't want to deal with the hassle and did not find anyone else with this problem. Only had 2 more days to return it, so I went for it.
I think the problem I actually had was the battery, it was reporting to the device that it was about 50% when it probably had none. I kept wondering why after so long of heavy usage the battery wasn't ran down already. Since you just took it off the charger, I don't know about your case.
Hopefully I won't see the problem with the exchanged one. I say, if you suspect a hardware issue, replace it. If it is a software issue, maybe they will fix it with an update. Good luck.
Mine reboots allot on stock, very annoying!
