Mine has been more stable since the Q update. Touchscreen is way more calm and reboots are much less, down to 1 every couple days, previously it was 3 times a day.

But, I don't find any random reboot acceptable......

Not bad, I bumped it up to 1.9 and drain is about what you would expect. Got some nice benchmarks as you can see.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thetechaddict10:
I thought I was done perusing this thread, but I guess I spoke too soon. Coming off of at least 400 hours of reboot-free uptime, my Nexus 7 rebooted not once but twice at about 10PM last night. The tablet was idle, and the only thing I can think of that I did differently yesterday was download AnTuTu and run a benchmark session. I also updated Chrome Beta. From those two reboots on, I went another 13 hours reboot-free until just now, when it rebooted again. It seems that the Q update was useless, reversing what I had previously thought. Needless to say, I am bummed out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] playitlouder:
My 32gb wifi rebooted twice today. It was in sleep with no apps open, so it should been in deep sleep with Wi-Fi on.

Both times it was a hard reboot Google logo, then nexus logo...

Also I still note ghost touches from time to time in the play store and in games for example in jetpack joyride the figure is sometimes stuck on the top of the screen until I touch the screen. Software is up to date and unrooted.

Is this a hardware or software issue?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TheDarkDefender:
Wow, so first we were assuming only the 16gb batch was affected. Doesn't look like that now. A lot of them have the same issue. I'm now sure it's the update which screwed up, cos if there are one or two people with the issue, it could be hardware related, but now it seems the count is just going up. The update really screwed things up i guess or a lot of N7s were defective, which i dont think is possible cos ASUS isn't that bad.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] playitlouder:
I just tried the multi touch test in the developer options and it seems fine there up to ten fingers at least, and the touch issues are very sporadic. It doesn't glitch too often.

I disabled currents and the standard chrome, because I'm using chrome beta and flipboard. I have no idea if that could have any effects but I'm up to 14hours uptime again and it slept fine all night.

Mine isn't crashing on load anyways, I can play riptide gp2 for hours without problems

Seems like I have to CMify it :p

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] joshuwa:
My 32GB hard restarts quite often, but never when I'm using it. It's always when I put it down and around the time the screen would turn off. So strange.

Edit. I'm starting to think it's chrome beta.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] frad:
I think the reboots I've been seeing are linked to the latest chrome beta. I never used to get them until after I updated the beta version and now I've seen at least 5-6. Otherwise I've been practically problem free with my N7. This reboot issue is quite frustrating though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nbsss:
I got reboots after flashing that multitouch fix, well not really reboots - screen shuts down and freezes, need to hold power to restart. Is fine after removing it, but now I have random stuck touches, oh well
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stevemw:
I've found that the cause of the reboots of my Nexus 7 2013 is Chrome, specifically popup pictures and ads.

Getting random reboots too on my 32Gb version running the latest update.

I do think this might be a software issue as I've had random reboots on 4.3 on my N4 as well. After flashing franco Kernel they are gone.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Guhrasoh:
I've the 32gb LTE version (JLS36C) for 2 days now and so far I've only found one reboot case:

If I copy a folder containing more than 1 video (via USB) onto the nexus the stock gallery app seems to hiccup and create solid green thumbnails, if I then browse through the videos in the gallery it hangs for a few seconds and reboots. If I copy each video separately and wait after each file till the correct (non green) thumbnail is created the crashes are gone.

This seems to be an gallery app problem, as other gallery apps like QuickPic and mVideoPlayer work without a problem and the video files, even the one with green thumbnails, play normal in the Google Video Player.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
I'd like to know what exactly you did to figure out what caused your issues.

First off, it is expected to be unstable when you first boot. There is a mandatory reboot required before you start using the device.

Second, nothing is ever written to your tablet.

Third, if you flash the TS-UNLOCK, you will be back to what you had before 100%, so no new problems could have been introduced if the unlock procedure is done.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nbsss:
1) I only started getting the reboots after booting ts-10, flashed ts-unlock and haven't had the black screen freezes yet.

2) I used adb reboot twice, and once manually within android

3) OK

4) Yeah the freezes stopped happening after I flashed ts-unlock

Ive got some free time later today, ill try again and see if I still get the freezes - I may have made other changes that caused the reboots so ill see if I can isolate whether the ts-10 is the issue...thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jdkadius:
While stock, I was sometimes getting 100+ hours before it went through a random reboot. Decided to try rooting and loading a custom ROM and am still getting random reboots. Going to try a custom kernel to see if that makes a difference.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cowisland:
Not sure if this has been discussed already, but for me the suggested fix of a factory reset has fixed random reboots problem. I am 100% stock and not rooted.

I had either none or very few random reboots prior to the latest OTA. After the OTA I started getting them about every 12 hours. I did the factory reset (wipe data I guess) and have not had any reboots over the last three days or so. Obviously I then had to set everything up again, which was a bit of a pain.

I guess the system updates don't always play well with installed apps, settings etc. This should be familiar to people who dirty-flashed a new version of a rom on top of the old version - - things don't always work out in that case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sojourner_tim:
I tried factory resetting via Settings and that did nothing. On first boot I skipped logging in, did not turn on locations services and it rebooted itself within 10 minutes while it was sitting next to me. Then I tried to factory reset via recovery and couldn't get past a screen with a android guy with a red exclamation point that said "no command". Called Asus tech support and he immediately knew that it was saying "no command" once I told him I tried to get to recovery but couldn't. He tried having me do all kinds of variations of button presses to get it into recovery but we couldn't get in. Eventually he set up an RMA for me so I guess I have to go without my tablet for a few weeks. Of course they don't even pay for shipping for their defective device either.

I just really hope that they don't send it back to me saying it's fine or just factory reset it and call it good. I have a bad feeling this isn't going to be the end of it even once I get it back. I wish I had been within the in-store time frame for returns. That's my experience so far. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
The touchscreen software in all the TS versions are loaded onto the DSP.

Once loaded, it runs separately from kernel/android. It shouldn't have the ability to freeze android as what is communicated to android is just packets of data with positional information.

After that first reboot you are running EXACTLY the same software (kernel/rom/drivers) you were before. That is why I'm curious how it could have caused your system to freeze.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
Could the intermittent freezes (or reboots) be caused by an app running in the background?

I ask because I ran my 2013 Nexus 7 unrooted for about a week and it ran fine. Then I rooted (WugFresh toolkit and am running stock J version) and installed a bunch of apps requiring root. One was LBE 4.4. Because I've been getting episodes of freezing, I've searched for possible reasons, none of which have panned out. Wondering if LBE could be the culprit, I froze lbe and rebooted. Hell broke out and I got error after error pop ups saying that just about every app failed to load including things like Play, etc. So I rebooted again and all was back to normal.

So far, no freezing episodes!

I need to wait another couple of days before I claim victory.

Thoughts :

- I run lbe on my 2012 Nexus 7 too where it has never caused freezes. So it may have to do with 4.3 changes. LBE 4.4 was created long before android 4.3 appeared.

- LBE may not be the only root app capable of causing freezing in the 2013 Nexus 7 and its changes.

- I'm a newbie so maybe an expert can chime in and say whether any of this makes sense.

32GB random reboots here

Hi everyone,

Also experiencing random reboots on the 32gb model. Also getting no synchronization with gmail. Been going 12 hours without crash, but nothing synchronizes even when I have the screen on - yes all things are set to sync and wifi is indeed working. Yesterday it random rebooted while viewing a pdf file and the first time it did it, it wiped my homescreen customizations and wiped swiftkey settings. Going to return it tomorrow probably. Too bad because I had already installed some of my things.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danvee:
Luckily, mine seems to only reboot on its sleep.

The Touchscreen has been horrible since the 'update' though.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] muyoso:
My Nexus 7 reboots itself whenever I set it down and let display time out. Its ridiculous. Never has it rebooted when the screen was on. I had none of this behavior when I first purchased the tablet. Its all new since I applied the updates, which also didn't fix the keyboard issues at all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danvee:
Take it back for Exchange or refund.

If you got it from the PlayStore, call them.

Anywhere else, if out of the return window, call ASUS.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mc-paulo:
Mine used to reboot, too.

I the rooted it, which includes a factory reset. But this did'nt solve the issue. I then went for different kernels and with the latest ElementalX-Kernel I haven't had a single reboot in three days!

I set the undervolt on lowest frequency to 850 and turned the swipe2unlock features off.

Now the Nexus is running great!

Maybe this is of any help for you guys.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DoctorOhh:
Early on I had a couple of reboots while asleep that got stuck at the Google X and drained the battery to almost zero before I noticed. But since Aug 14th when I did my last Factory reset it has been relatively stable. Since then it has rebooted on multiple occasions, but I attribute most if not all of the reboots to the Scrabble app that I run. After I installed the app EA changed the setting and said it is not compatible with the 2013 N7 which is obviously correct. Multiple things in the app will crash the app every time and cause the N7 to directly or eventually reboot. I now avoid the sections of the app that crash and I haven't had a reboot in almost 4 days and the battery life is fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Yarbo:
I've had this same problem - but it seemed to be isolated to when I was running an app called "Ultrasonic" which is a mobile app for Subsonic a music streamer (streams from my own server at home). Uninstalled it, and switched to DSUB a different app which does the same thing and no more reboots (at least for now). I wonder if certain apps just aren't playing nice with JB 4.3 and on the Nexus 7 2013 it leads to crashes and reboots?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
No. Spoke too soon.

LBE was not the culprit.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] uprightbass360:
My google play services were acting up and kept failing downloads ( posting an error) and gave me a reboot, I had to delete and re-add my account to make it run right again. This feels like a service bug... Have the services been verified not to be the culprit?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Yarbo:
What is LBE?

Without knowing for sure but I think he is referring to LBE Security Master

I've sent mine to ASUS Canada for random reboots.

They issued RMA without any problems.

Once the tablet is at the ASUS serivce center, I received a call saying that they don't have any parts for repair and they will instead send me a new unit back. I said OK.

Shipped to ASUS last week, received the new unit back today. It doesn't look refurbished but brand new retail packaged with all the accessories. The new one is good with no random reboot or standby battery issues.

Overall I'm satisfied with the ASUS. It would have been nice if they covered shipping both ways (they only covered 1 way, my half costed $10).

So if you are still within your local store's return/exchange period, do it, otherwise ASUS is not bad for handling this through RMA.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Henaway:
I'm saying it's software

Had my N4 since February, N7 a few days after release. The RR issue for me is purely software. The last 4.3 update on BOTH devices (the one to fix the RR issues) caused random reboots to begin on BOTH. My N4 has been rock solid up until this release. My N7 never had an issue until this last release. Hopefully Google will issue another fix to unbreak Android - or I'm flashing Paranoid on both of them.

So it's livable I'm sure it's just a software bug somewhere along the line that'll be fixed. And not really an issue warranting me to keep exchanging them since I'd have to keep sending it in the mail. Got it from the playstore direct.

I bought a Nexus 7 16 gb yesterday from a local retailer here in Islamabad, Pakistan. Soon, I brought it home and started using it. After only a few minutes it turned off and rebooted itself. After a few more minutes it did so again. I ignored these first few reboots and tried using the camera app but it only worked for a few seconds before the tablet hanged and rebooted again. After this I became really frustrated. The tablet would randomly reboot every few minutes making any kind of use impossible. I then tried updating the Nexus 7 but it kept on saying 'waiting to download' for several hours. I googled for each and everyone one of these issues but to no avail.

I tried unticking 'scanning always available', turned off NFC, uninstalled Chrome updates, and downloaded 'https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest', ran it, went into its settings and selected 'Clear AGPS Cache' and than selected 'Update AGPS Cache', than went into Settings-->Location services--> and turned off GPS and turned it back on and than restarted my device but the problems still remained. Only till late at night did I give up. This morning while I was getting ready for school, I decided to run 'Hideninja' and selected Italy-2 as the server. Then I decided to run the update again and surprisingly it started! It took a few minutes to download as its size was approximately 53 mb. Afterwards I rebooted the device and all the issues were gone! I haven't faced any issues or reboots ever since its last full charge 20 hours ago.

FYI my initial build number was JWR66N and the update changed it to JSS15R.

My gf was having this issue on her nexus 4 ever since it was updated to 4.3. I just got this a week ago and it does the same thing hers does. Maybe its all related??

(This all happened before I received this tablet from her). Just some speculation.
