[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FriedSushi87:
I experienced random reboots until the point where I hit a reboot cycle and it wouldn't stay on for more than 10 seconds, forcing me to hard reset.

International gsm version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LHand87:
My Galaxy X (Brazilian name for the Galaxy Nexus) started the random reboots in about two weeks of use.

I think the problem has something to do with the notification bar. In my case, with Gmail push notifications. As far as I can remember, I had no random reboots before turning them on.

The most commom way is just sliding the notification from left to right... this happened to me 5 times in 2 weeks and is very annoying, but seems random (not all e-mails I received rebooted my phone).

Also, I had a reboot once while listening to music (again, the music player was at the notification bar).

My phone isn't rooted and is runnig stock 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cymatty:
My phone is at 1500 hours up time.

Super stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norazi:
sounds like a hardware issue (overheating)...

my last phone was an HTC sensation... we had two of them (one for me and one for my gf).. both exactly the same hardware and running the same rom with same configuration (Virtuous Inquisition AOSP rom)... however, mine was rock solid for the most part and hers frequently locked up and rebooted during heavy use... i ended up having to underclock hers to 1ghz and that fixed it

you might have a gnex with a lower quality cpu/gpu that overheats more easily
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Well this is strange.

Updated to stock 4.0.4 yakju a few days ago.

Today I noticed my phone, sitting on my desk, had rebooted itself. After the boot animation I noticed wi-fi was not connecting, so I went to the wi-fi screen to check it out. Then I pressed the power button to sleep the screen... and boom, it went back to the Google screen and rebooted a second time into the OS.

This isn't the same as the boot loop brick (where it never got past the Google screen) but it's definitely peculiar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgarzin:
My g nex is turning off by itself. One minute im using the Phone, Then when i try to wake it, its off.. It happened for almost ten times.... And i dont have the idea what is Going on...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgarzin:
3 times only today.... Damn it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
I'm on stock 4.0.4 now and phone has been running great. Will keep an eye on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus2note:
My nexus does that too

My 1st nexus auto turn off around 1 or 2 times a day, and i swap a 2nd one it auto restart when i call out or pick up a call. and i swap it again, now i have 3rd nexus for 4 days, it just turn off once a day.

all for my nexus is running 4.01 stock in Australia. any idea?:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rusty815:
Mines rebooted on stock a few times, installed 4.0.4 and even with an over/under clock it hasn't rebooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
Mine is turning off in my pocket once a day since I bought it. After I updated to 4.0.4 it didnt happend for 4 days, then it happened yesterday and today again :(

I think it is something with overheating, since it only happens when it is in my pocket!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
My reboots happen usually while I'm browsing the internet. Which is really frustrating since its usually when I needs to find out some information really quickly. I hope someone can find out what's causing this. I'm on the leaked version of 4.0.4 fyi.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Nexus Project:
No way should it do that. Full wipe and flash a custom rom

t from my i9250 [GSM) Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss2:
In general, I agree. Although keep in mind that not all custom rom's are created equal. Using liquidsmooth rom, I got occasional freezes that required a battery pull. But with BAMF Paradigm, it's been very stable, and I haven't had any crashes or reboots at all (in over a month of daily use).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
No, not even a single reboot on Cyanogenmod (4.0.4), or AOKP (4.0.4 Build 31).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curious_yellow_eyes:
Actually, I don't think this is all one issue. I'm pretty certain mine is a hardware issue, but it's no biggie, every couple of months it needs a full wipe, but pulling the sd is possible in recovery so it's no real problem, pull it off, wipe it and push it back. It doesn't reboot itself though, except when using Google market/ play so I don't think it's the same issue most of you are experiencing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgarzin:
For some days im not having this problem at all.. Maybe it was some app fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Galaxy98:
Have recently having this issue 4 freez ups in 2 hours

Gnex freez must pull battery

I think it has something to do with maps app ever since i disabled it no random freez upp

I will report back 2 days from now to confirm since i disabled it 4 hours ago....

Stock 4.0.4 roted and unlocked

Here is a picture that shows what happens when you pull battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianisme:
Mine rebooted a few times back on 4.0.1 but hasn't done so again since 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Galaxy98:
Just got one freez again maps is ok

Anyone know what's causing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] studentje1987:
Any news yet? I was just looking in the various topics to find people with the same problems as me. I reported it yesterday including 3 bugreports&screenshots. I'm not using the maps app but I do recognise the freezing & rebooting. Your stats look similar.

Feel free to add your screenshots/comments/bugreports on the google code (android support) page if you think it's relevant: google code issue 29510 (You have to search it for yourself. Since I just registered XDA is preventing me from posting URL's untill I have 8 comments)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
My first reboot happened today. Just went to pull down the notification menu, and it froze, and rebooted. Started back up fine, but... incredibly bizarre and disappointing.

I updated to 4.04 yesterday OTA. I'm 100% stock. What gives? I'd think 4.04 would have fixed this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
Believe it or not I was under the same impression up until last week. Leave Google to do the ota's.....I was fed up and unlocked and rooted my i9250. running aokp build 33 and Franco nightly 141....VERY impressed with battery life and speed. I have virtually no drain when sleeping and have not had a reboot or freeze since my revamp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DONNY TRUMP:
Help?

Hey guys, i just got a verizon gnex used. the problem im having is that it restarts itself usually within 10 - 20 seconds everytime. i can get it into recovery, i've tried reverting to stock everything, locking, unlocking, everything i can think of but still keep having the same issue. In MOST cases, it gets stuck and restarts right after it "asks" for my SIM (cause i dont have one yet). does anyone have any ideas or input? Do you think its a hardware problem? frustrating me. thanks for any help guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] se1zure31:
I have had my phone (gsm) for two weeks without a reboot that I performed myself. I got 4.0.4 shortly after getting the phone running. Haven't root or flashed anything. Completely stock including launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvago:
I get these ****ty reboots about once a day.

Today it finally happened that my phone was supposed to ring my alarm to wake-up, but instead it rebooted.

When it was done starting up again the alarm had been cancelled.

It's one thing to get these reboots once a day, but I can't NOT have my alarm play because of a ****ty reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tarzanman:
Those all sound like hardware problems to me. I've had similar issues with two other Samsung phones (both Vibrants).

Return them to stock and get replacements from google. Its just not worth the hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derekwilkinson:
I have three friends with verizon GN and I have the Sprint GN. All of us have AOKP and have no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingkee:
Mine is working fine so far (GSM version on T-Mobile).

Stock 4.0.4 ROM rooted.

Franco R162 kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eyekyu:
rooted. stable. never drop'd a call or data (knock on wood)

only time it rebooted is when i was messing with a kernel i had no clue what i was doing and custom battery settings. other than that ill leave it to the devs default :) i love my nexus. just wish my house wasn't so far from a tower but even 3G is good :)

oh rooted unlocked day 1. i think within 3 hours lmao i waited for a full battery charge hahahahaahah
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph00ny:
Oddly enough, i don't have these issues (random reboot or signal drop) with other Samsung phones (note, s2, etc)

Verizon Nexus is the only one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JJsevol:
On stock rom (4.2) my phone would at least reboot 2 times every two weeks.

Now with AOKP 35, it's been extremely stable and has not reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvago:
Opened it to take a photo today, instant freeze and reboot. After that I still wanted to take my photo but the camera didn't work. Said something about it couldn't open.

Rebooted again and then it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
Good O AOKP. I swear that's one of my favorite ROMS. AOKP and stock Android looks dull. But it's the way I like my Android devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Anything based on 4.0.4 should be stable. I am bone stock. 4.0.2 crashed quite often, 4.0.4 is pure gold. Fast and hasn't crashed once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvago:
Flashed YAKJU and got the newest 4.0.4, thought that would be the end for my wake-up phone->freeze->reboot problems but no.

Have had them twice since then, always when I have just woken up my phone and a couple of seconds after that.

Is there any way to see what is causing the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
Never did but now I do and it's a large pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modidlee:
If possible I would suggest everyone having this issue try to get the phone replaced. Mine was rebooting and freezing. One day it cut off and wouldn't cut back on until I removed the battery for 10 minutes. A couple days later it did the same thing but wouldn't turn back on period. I went to Verizon and when they saw it wouldn't turn on or even charge they sent me a replacement overnight. Phone was unlocked and rooted but it wouldn't even turn on so.... they couldn't tell right then ;). Only thing I hate is that I wasn't able to format the storage and delete all my personal stuff off of there. But I did change all my passwords so I'm not really worried too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curious_yellow_eyes:
I did not have a single issue after 4.0.4 and now running 4.1 since the weekend with no issue.

However, I think what solved it was pulling the entire sdcard, full wiping and then putting the sdcard back on BEFORE restoring the apps. Why that worked, I couldn't say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WitchMX:
I have flashed several roms and kernels including the JB ones and I have never had a random boot or a freeze except this one time and was due to a bug with the kernel app, which was fixed a few hours later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cristipuc:
GN rebooting 10 times /day

My GN(GSM) reboot every day many times, with 4.0.4, and now with 4.1(jelly bean) same problem freeze and reboot itself, i need some help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geemaan:
send it to a service center! Really.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johninsf:
Over the past few months or so, I have noticed the lockup/reboot on calls. FYI, I updated immediately to 4.0.4 on GSM phone unrooted.

Unsure what might cause this but it normally happens when I have just placed a call. I can speak long enough to introduce myself but then the phone reboots.

When I attempt to call again, it will freeze on the contact page. Today, the phone froze on the contact page but the page was blank in stead of the contact picture. I had to remove the battery to get it to unstuck.

Overall, the phone has been really stable and think this might have to do with a rogue process.

Are there any apps I can use to pull a crash log? Or, how do I access my most recent log to review it? (Sorry...not an outright Techie although I can follow direction quite well)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blame2:
Its happened once to me while trying to sync a Bluetooth connection. I was on gummy 1.2.2 at the time. No problems thus far with stock kernel/rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WC00:
Got mine Nexus a couple of weeks ago and not rooted it yet, but suddenly this "glitches" started specially when a call is incoming. The only way is to remove the battery, had to do this at least once a day.

Since i'm in Brazil, the JB was not released here yet, only in August. but i'm thinking to install the JB yakju to test it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeMurphy:
My s2 would freeze up all the time. It was supremely annoying.

My GN in 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 has been extremely stable. NEVER frozen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscojunior:
I used to have this problem when I was on 4.0.2. Once you update to 4.0.4 or 4.1 those reboots should stop.

I hope it helps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WC00:
Is there any chance to brick the phone while trying to install 4.1 non-OTA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
Not sure if it was mentioned already, but there is an app in Play Store called Reboot Logger. I use it to track my unexpected reboots. If I see an increase of reboots over time then I restore my phone from a backup prior to the increase in reboots. But I mess with my phones settings, ROMs, and apps all the time too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
Juicedefender is 100% part of your problem. When I removed this from the phone back in November it stopped rebooting.

This is not to say that it will solve your issue because my bet is that you have multiple apps causing this. My phone has hit over a thousand hours of uptime and I am on stock 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
I've never had a random reboot but their was one time, whenever I go to school I put my phone in my track shoes in my track bag that I always carry with me as my school has a super strict cell phone policy with which if you get caught with your phone the first time you get suspended for 3 days, second time is 5 days and third time you get expelled, but I always put it on silent, put it on airplane mode, and turn it off, but one day when I got to track PE where I always take out my phone and turn it on it wouldn't turn on and the whole back was extremely hot so I pulled out the battery and rebooted and it only have 14 percent which is very odd because I always go to school with it fully charged, so I have no idea what happened except maybe the buttons got pressed the wrong way and It was rebooting for a while but it hasn't happened again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Wow, I just had another one. This time while exiting the Tapatalk app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Something crashed and the CPU/GPU continued running (likely) at full speed. This caused the heat and the battery drain. No reason to worry, if it doesn't happen all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
I still don't understand how anything would be running as it was off but yeah I'm not really worried about it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firehazard:
Twice since I bought the phone a couple months back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b0unceee:
not sure if you saw my running apps, but I no longer use JD anymore, so definitely not the cause..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gmanunited:
Nope. GSM Galaxy Nexus. Rooted Stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Mine just rebooted, it happens usually after 5 days of flawless operation. Sometimes I've gone as long as 10 days but it still happens. Screen turns off and then a few seconds later the Google logo pops up and phone boots. I've been trying to figure out what app might be causing it but I feel like because it happens around the same amount of uptime its some sort of memory leak. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Yeah that's about the same for me. 5 days is around the most I can get and I'm stock unrooted 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Nope, i haven't noticed anything like that yet. All details in signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b0unceee:
From the poll so far, seems like 1 in 3.. pretty common I guess!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
Only happened to me when I overclocked to see what would happen. I didn't know this was a common problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kylem:
Reboots. Happened to me twice today. First was during navigation, kinda f'd my route as I had never been there before. Thankfully my wife's dinc2 locked quickly.

Second time was in browser scrolling on m.digg and poof. Reboot.

Rooted stock 4.0.2 cdma

Never happened before today in the last 3 weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericliquid:
Nope, works flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddggg:
It was pretty stable on 4.0.1 and 4.0.2.

After I rooted the phone and installed SetCPU, it crashes randomly all day.

Uninstalled SetCPU, and it seems to be a bit more stable. Apps still crash randomly and phone crashes from time to time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cythreill:
Voted yes accidentally.

I never get those issues but I used to a lot when using

Now I'm rooted and using a custom rom and kernel and it doesn't happen anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdiggitydogg:
Hasn't happened to me, since switching to 4.0.4. I used to get freezing and reboots on 01 and 02 versions though...never tried 03.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puck24:
Only once since I have it (a month). While exiting a game. Don't remember which one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jmurph3:
Happened to me this morning. Pulled down the notification drawer, it locked up going down and rebooted. Stock 4.0.2, no root, no mods of any sort.

This is obvious a very random. The cause has to be somewhere in the kernel or perhaps the ROM itself. Perhaps memory isn't freed up when needed, it overloads and is forced to reboot?

My SGN was very stable on 4.0.2. Running mostly well-established apps.

Just moved to this ROM 48 hours ago (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481613) and haven't had a single reboot/problem.

I think most of the reboots are caused by conflicts with third-party apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
I had a sleep of death once.installed kaspersky antivirus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drizzt5:
Mine has rebooted by itself like twice in the month+ I have had it on stock Rom but unlocked and rooted.

Very rare, and I don't know why or what causes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnsma22:
Same thing happened to me today after backing out of Tapatalk! I was browsing XDA and then I back out of the app. The screen timed out and it sat on the table for a minute or two. Went to turn it back on and nothing. Couldn't force a reboot with any combination of button presses. Had to pull the battery. It's been fine since. I've only had it since Friday though.

Just flashed [AOSP 4.0.3] Android Open Kang Project - toro - Milestone 3, Franco-Kernel and 4.04 radios last night. Loving this phone, even with some of it's shortcomings!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a4840639:
If you use Adobe Flash, there will be loads of reboots.

It's strange that my Phone failed to wake up twice every morning, just like it is bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fjdedrick:
None so far, I've had it about two weeks, Rooted Stock ROM. I'm up about a week right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
I was in San Francisco for work a couple weeks ago, and while listening to doggcatcher on the shuttle in the mornings/afternoons my phone was crashing/rebooting. Seemed to happen almost every morning around the same time.

Here at home it has crashed once listening to doggcatcher, and the same day I caught it rebooting on my way home while I had glimpse running. I noticed the boot logo / screen on while it was sitting on the dash.

The doggcatcher reboot a most often happened with the screen on since I was just on a shuttle bus, so I was using the phone.

I'm on the stock 4.0.2 ROM, but am rooted. Stock radios etc...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I don't use Flash and mine has rebooted several times. It rebooted once while using the camera so it's just random for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Interesting you mention DoggCatcher...I'm a user of that too. I've stopped using it and switched to Listen to see if it still restarts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
Let me know... I've contacted the developer, and their support staff have said their app can't cause reboots... I love the app, have had it since shortly after getting my HTC Incredible 2+ years ago now... But it seems to be somehow involved in my reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sfinney76:
My CDMA Nexus reboots about twice a week. 90% of the time it reboots when the alarm goes off in the morning. I can hear the alarm, then the sound of the alarm gets slightly distorted and then the phone will reboot. It will reboot randomly at other times as well but mostly in the morning.

I am rooted, and running a custom rom but this problem has been happening since I got the phone and it was still stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PolyOlefin:
I think this reboot issue is related to audio firmware/hardware.

The few times I experienced the reboot, it was always during audio playback; it only happened to me while using Google Listen or Google Music.

I use my phone for podcasts more than anything else, and I use Listen for several hours each day. The phone reboots on me very rarely, perhaps once every couple weeks. The screen is off... the audio stops, I hear a slight "pop" in the headphones a few seconds later, and the Google logo appears on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jmurph3:
There are too many different issues to pinpoint a specific culprit. You have reboots when using audio specifics while I've had 4 out of 5 reboots while phone plugged in the charger and in the middle of typing a message in the messaging application. The last one was from pulling down the notification drawer.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
This is what happens to me, however within Doggcatcher, and my screen can be off or on. The audio freeze, pop, reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Mine has never done that but most likely it happens after I turn the screen on and play with the notification bar. No audio pops but I think its due to a memory leak of some type which is why it always seems to happen after like 5 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Son of a *****... it just rebooted while charging and listening to Pandora. Screen went completely black and made a loud ass pop through my headphones and now here I am. I'm most mad about how loud that pop was in my ear and not so much that it was actually a good song. Lol. Again, I'm completely stock 4.0.2 GSM here...

Edit: I didn't have a crazy up time either as I turned my phone off last night while I slept so I didn't have to hear my girlfriend *****ing. Lol. So it's no longer an up time thing for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalinf:
I've experienced similar seeming random reboots. Once opening up the default sms app. Once pulling down the notification bar another instance I think I was opening the default browser and more recently twice I've pulled the battery.

There is a post on the Google help forums titled: 'why does my galaxy nexus...do random reboots?'

The thread grows daily. It seems to be a fairly common problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonkemaskin:
I'll help the thread grow some more towards the positive.

I have had 3-4 reboots experimenting with different kernels/ROMS, so I can't really blame the phone or ICS for that. I am currently on franco16.2 kernel and Manhattan ROM and there have been nothing negative to report
