WIFI

It seems to be a Wifi/software related issue from reading the posts of complaints to Google.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catfishbillyhere:
it is not a wifi or buetooth or gps problem. i have been tracking mine and when ever the system is doing a storage request to do an install. that is where it happens. mostly if an app is being updated. then it will stop and reboot. i wish google would find this bug quick.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickTheMajin:
I get it frequently when installing apps, switching between apps in the aosp browser, browsing google images and most of the time it happens when the tablet is not even in use. You just pick it up later and see that you have no apps in memory when pressing the multitasking button.

Hi everyone.

I've also the random reboot issue.

Most of the time, it's when I update or install an app.

Nexus tablets random reboots

I have a new nexus 7 32gb tablet all stock v4.2.1 and have been getting these random reboots too. I don't think it is caused by the chrome browser because I got the reboot while using firefox beta too. All debug error logs I've seen show that the FATAL EXCEPTION is triggered by a java null pointer or null value exception in the a xroid.os.parcel method. And/or an illegal argument passed in to the method which is probably a result of the bad null value pointer. I also have seen reports of this reboot issue from half a year ago on nexus devices. So it disturbs and concerns me that Google refuses to treat this as a high priority problem to fix. It leads me to believe that they can't figure it out after all this time. Maybe they need to hire more talent. It just doesn't make sense that they would ignore it for this long and not rate it as a very high priority.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayWhat10:
I get the reboots as well. But it's random. Not always same app or anything
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infobits:
reason for the rash of random reboots

Please see my post in another related thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1998496&page=23

My take is that it is caused by any older apps that are not compiled with the latest v4.2.1 SDK and triggering the error which the OS is not catching properly and thus instead of gracefully handling the error it reboots the entire OS.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennettvonbennett:
hmmm... very interesting. under what conditions is this method called?

I can cause a reboot 100% of the time under following conditions:

- Using Android Transfer Utility to transfer multiple files (say more than 20) or any 'large' (> 250MB) file. I have a Macbook Pro.

- using tTorrent to download anything - uTorrent does not cause crashes (but is way suckier than tTorrent!)

in addition, pretty much ANY heavily processor intensive activity - or perhaps R/W activity? - will have at least a 50% chance of causing a reboot.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
I'm not getting a lot of random reboots, but my main problem is that when I do get them i usually have some sort of data corruption too. Such as when I reboot I have to do the tablet setup process. My apps are still there but they loose all their settings. It's really making me start to hate this tablet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
Mine also and rapidly hang or auto restart in stock especially using chrome and with HD widget on.

Now running CM10.1 without chrome and no HD widget, everything seems much better, the hang seems not happen anymore and restart was rarely happen. For the moment, I think this was the temporary solution.

AW: Nexus 10 freezing and rebooting

I think the crashes are mostly related to the new multi user feature. They are happening much more often in my second account and I am experiencing no crashes with my Galaxy Nexus running also 4.2.1.

I also read about users saying they reseted to stock settings, did not set up a second account and are not experiencing crashes then.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphconrad91:
I have not experience the reboots since I got the 4.2.2 update, maybe they fixed it?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottws:
I still have this problem on 4.2.2.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxnelson:

I have gone from enjoying my tablet to waiting for the reboots to start again every time you post.

In all seriousness it sucks. Do your logs look the same or something new?

Can we mass complain and ask for a google play credit/small refund for all this time we have been beta testing?

It is getting REALLY annoying after all this time...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstrong:
Strange. I've got close to 200 hours uptime on my N10 running stock 4.2.2 (although my N10 is unlocked and rooted), with zero lagging, freezing or reboots.... I wonder what's different in our setups that could account for our differing experiences...?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottws:
Honestly, I don't know how to interpret the logs, but I do have several bug reports from when I was on 4.2.1 and one now that I am on 4.2.2, so I could always go and look if I learn how.

Today I did a full wipe and re-flash of 4.2.2 and this time I didn't restore my apps or settings from Google. I also didn't set up a 2nd user like I did last time. No reboots yet but it has only been 10 hours.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstrong:
If that approach worked, we could all sue Microsoft for 30+ years of beta testing, and we could all retire...

You can find millions of hits if you search for iPad 3 light leak or light bleed, and Apple's mapping and navigation provided some good diversion in recent months, yet I don't see people lining up to demand refunds from Apple. Home routers and access points are notorious for having decent hardware and bug-ridden firmware, and the device is generally obsolete and unsupported a year after being released. In most of the free markets, you have a choice about which companies you patronize, which product you purchase with your money, and in most cases, you can return the item for a refund within some established time frame and conditions. I'm not thrilled with the current state of the consumer electronics market, except for the fact that it's evolving incredibly quickly, and the cost for features continues to drop at an amazing rate (witness, for example, the evolution of solid state drives and the concurrent drop in prices).

Sure - I'd like things to be more mature on product release -- I'm not a glutten for punishment. But I've got to say that my Android phone (Galaxy Nexus) and tablets (N10 and N7's) pretty much blow away any other devices I've used or owned before these for similar purposes. Knowing that this market sees many devices released prematurely, I try to do as much homework in advance as I can, and make an informed choice about the trade-offs between new features and proven, but older, designs. Similar to an investment portfolio strategy, I know my own tolerance for risk and frustration, and balance that against my desire for innovation -- and choose accordingly. In a less than perfect market, Caveat Emptor still applies.

Aaaaand there we go. First reboot since 4.2.2 the day it was released. Happened when opening Chrome. This is getting to be re-god-damn-diculous.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxnelson:
Not being a **** but I think Ubuntu preview is coming out for the N10 in a couple days. It would be kind of funny (in a crying sort of way) if it ran better than android on their own device. Maybe try it. I don't know. Feel for ya, really. I went through this sh1t with the original transformer. Beta-tested their fixes and everything. Painful.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I also went through Hell with the Prime, sold it on ebay, and got the N10. The Prime was total garbage. The N10 is much better by comparison, but it's ridiculous this hasn't been fixed yet after 3 months.

4.2.2 is no better

Still have the crashing issues with 4.2.2. Never did see an issue when the 10 was on 4.2.0. Would an anti-virus/anti-theft app (avast or similar) be the cause?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schubi89:
Any news/reboots? Found out that you can't say if a reboot happened from the up time. For me, it stays the same even after a freeze. Only way to see if there was a reboot or not is to find some gaps in the battery graph. Had 4 freezes in the last 48 hours with stock 4.2.2..one of them even in the middle of the night while charging.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxnelson:
There is an app called bootlog uptime I believe and it will catch these reboots. I've noticed the same thing. Even the log file is fooled. I had 2 reboots in 20 minutes and built in logger said been up for 6 days on both.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
Just check your multitasking button . If it's empty, it rebooted (assuming you opened an app after initially turning the tablet on).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxnelson:
This too. Boot log is a no-brainer though. I believe there is even an option to put a notification in the bar.

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

So did it disappear or it almost never happens? They aren't the same?

Not trying to be a smart ass. I had 130+ hours uptime installed a bunch of apps and stability went to hell.

I think you have a point here. When it happened to me, I did notice that it rebooted really fast and I only see the nexus logo. I didn't think much of it and thought because it has an awesome hardware.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxnelson:
I think the way I have heard it described before is the OS is crashing on top of the kernel suggesting it is just the OS vs. both. That is why uptime doesn't change and reboot is quicker than full boot....just what I've heard/read. Could be way off.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunslingerfry:
I don't know if this has been said or not, but please please pipe up in the Google product forum and make sure they understand this is still an ongoing issue. The Android community guy, Paul, says that that's the forum that Google will actually read. I'd be happy to see some Android experts get in there and tear Paul's posts apart for the bs they are.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfmiller:
Exactly. Specifically, it's the Android runtime environment which is restarting.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
I got a mine just a little while ago... Aosp, android-4.2.2_r1, I see no reboots so far.

And to get to them logs after a reboot, check /proc/last_kmsg. If the UI is failing, you should still be able to ADB (or SSH should you prefer) into it, and check whatever is going on with dmesg (for kernel debugging) and logcat (for the system)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derrick603:
This makes sense since UI elements are still active when the unit "crashes". For example, if the unit freezes when a busy wheel is spinning, it will continue to spin even though no further touch input is registered or application contents are updated.

Since this seems to happen mostly to Nexus 10s (I haven't been following this with other devices, so I could be wrong), I wonder if it's the Mali T-604 drivers that are at fault. It's a brand new GPU architecture after all.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxnelson:
Would the logcat be any better than the built in bug reporting once it comes back up?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
I think logcat starts way earlier in the the boot process than that bug reporting option that I think you're talking about (which I believe is bugmailer service).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott7044:
I just just updated to TWRP 2.3.2.1 flashed the 4.13 bootloader and flashed scroslers 4.2 rom, while Google Play was restoring my apps the screen started flickering and there was white noise coming out of the speaker and then the screen just went blank. The only way I can get it to power up is to plug in the USB cable, doing this it powers up on its own and boots in to the ROM and then in a minute or less I get a flickering screen and the unit shuts down again. I have tried to get into recovery and it always shuts down before recovery starts. Any ideas?

Edit: Got into recovery did a complete wipe again and reflashed the ROM but the N7 shut down again as soon as TWRP started installing the ROM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johku12:
Try the nexus 7 toolkit if you can get your nexus to be on the time you need to flash stock and after that see if it remains on. If not, lock up and get it fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
OK, this is really weird, but it looks to me like there's no longer any way in Android 4.2 to tell if the camera has gotten a GPS lock. In previous versions of Android, the GPS icon would start blinking when the camera app opened (if you had "store location" selected) and then turn solid once GPS had locked on. But this doesn't happen anymore. Is there _any_ way now to tell if you've got a GPS lock when snapping a photo?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
A friend of a friend was giving us a lift today, and she asked if we could turn on navigation on her phone since she was in the middle of driving. Her phone is a Galaxy S II, definitely i9100 and not the other variants (4.3" not 4.5", physical home button). She was running it on Telus but she bought it second-hand a few weeks ago so I assume it was a Bell or Virgin model.

Anyway I could see from afar that it was most definitely still running Gingerbread, and I wondered why it hadn't gotten the ICS update. I asked if I could see the phone and I went to the About screen - it's running 2.3.6, and the build number says Super ROM. Then I looked in her app drawer and saw Superuser. She is not the type who knows how to root a phone or would even want to, so the likely explanation is that the seller had installed a custom ROM and neglected to revert it before sale.

I've never owned an i9100... If she were to ask for help returning it to stock, would the simplest way just be to flash the Bell ICS ROM using Odin? Are there any precautions I'd need to take in case something the last owner had installed would be incompatible with the flash?

+1 or not wait for official jellybean for her phone and flash that...no point in upgrading to ics.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
To be clear, she is a non power user. The ideal ROM for her is whatever would've been on there by now if it had never been hacked. So I believe that'd be ICS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimlo:
Just flash the ics of bell version since shes not a power user i did the same for wife shes has no intentions of using any custom roms for her just basic use :)

and i assume you know where too get that :) and yes flash in odin the stock version either from here you can get it or samfilmware ics version for 19100m

cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Thanks!

Actually I should add... The SuperROM she had on there said the device was i9100G. Is it possible that's just because it's what it says in the ROM, and it's still really an i9100m? Cause now I see they have different processors...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrohurt:
Hey. You better first make sure that the Galaxy S unlock tool isn't there, otherwise that's how the seller sim-unlocked the phone. Putting it on ics may lock it back up but you can unlock it again. If you move it to jellybean though, the unlock tool doesn't work yet. Ics is good enough for her.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chowdahh:
Hey I'm also looking to update my phone and I'm sort of in the same situation as this girl. I bought my phone second hand and found out later that it was rooted and has CyanogenMod 7.1 on it. My model is the I9100 and my provider is Telus. I was looking to update it to CM10, but one of my concerns is that it might get locked again and I won't be able to use my phone on Telus. Should I just settle for CM9? Will it for sure get locked again? I'm a noob.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Presumably if it's genuinely an i9100G and not m (I'm not sure, as I only saw the phone once), it wasn't from a Canadian carrier. In which case who knows how it was unlocked.

Hi All,

I've tried searching but to no avail. I got an HOX+ from ATT today and was excited to root it I got through rooting it no problem. But then I installed ClockworkMod Recovery. Now the phone wont boot at all. I can get in to fast boot and recovery. But it says no SD Card exists when I try to access the SD card. Other then that I get nothing but the HTC Logo. If anyone could help it would be great! At this point I wouldn't mind going back to stock.

More than likely you flashed a non-ATT recovery since there is not one out now for ATT. I did the same and swapped out this afternoon rather than wait for a HTC release.

He means he took it to AT&T and said it died on him so they gave him a new one. I did the same thing. As of right now, there is no RUU (ROM Update Utility) provided by AT&T. I emailed HTC and they said that they no-longer choose when that gets uploaded and it usually takes about 10 days for the approval process and upload of the RUU. It's up to AT&T so you could be waiting a while for it.

He never got that far. He flashed recovery and the phone never booted up because it can't mount the filesystem. Same issue as everyone else with an AT&T HOX+

Hello all. This is the problem.

I made an ics build of PA based on fxpCM9 and pa 1.6 and all works fine except one minor bug with the phone app. That is when on default theme the incall screen intent causes the phone apk to fc (so everytime i try to dial out or get a phone call, the dialer screen appears normally without any problems).

Logcat gives a fatal exception error while trying to get resources for the incall screen, so i tried changing themes and that makes it work without any problems. So i went on a search for the resources related to the incall screen but couldn't find them anywhere. (no png or drawables related to incall screen in framework, systemui and phone, and can't find the resources of system theme..)

Anyone has some ideas to solve this bug?
