Bought mine from Google. I've had at least 4 random reboots that I've seen while using. And Monday morning I woke up a little late because my alarm didn't go off and when I looked at my phone, it was stuck in a boot loop. It went through about three loops while I tried to the volume+power button to hard restart.

It was plenty warm and who knows how long it was in a loop.

Phone is unmolested stock from Google.

Yup I'm on M and Firefox was the culprit giving me reboots.

I called Google and they called Huawei, they sent me the RMA. Right after the call ended, now I just gotta wait 10-14 business days.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I have a question for everyone who's experiencing random reboots. What season are you in? What is the ambient temperature? I've noticed mine plays up a lot more on warmer days (it's nearly summer where I am) and I think it might be due to the CPU heating up and being throttled. I've definitely noticed the CPU being quite warm and it's definitely being throttled (checking with Kernel Auditor).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabe32:
I've already done all that. Sadly didn't help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnerb123:
I think it might be the wifi chip. What i have noticed when I am connected to an AC router it will drop connection and then randomly reboot at times. But when on N it doesn't seem to crash. For the people who are having the crashes can you tell me if you are on a wifi or your carrier network?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I don't think that's it, at least not for me. I've had reboots on WiFi (N) and mobile data.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cougzzz:
Mine was definitely not heat related. Probably just faulty motherboard.

I wouldn't take a risk on the reboots. I would just RMA.

I had random reboot twice since I got it. (that i noticed). just now it happened at work. Phone is in sleep mode next to me.. next thing I see is the google logo come up. weird...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Think I've had two random reboots total. Definitely nothing I'm worried about at this point. Disappointing if Firefox is a concern. Was going to try it as a chrome replacement since chrome is such a hog.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revoman:
I've only had my 6P for a few weeks now. I've experienced a handful (5-6) of random reboots. Some of the times it was at the end of the day and I suspect it might have something to do with the power-save mode. But that's just a guess. I'll post again if I can replicate the problem
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
After over 2 weeks of use with no reboots at all, all of sudden today I've had 3! Weird.

My nexus 6 also had a reboot. It might be some bug related to android 6. I have the feeling of a bad programming being involved.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
I suspect the random reboots are caused by incompatible software not yet fixed for Marshmallow. I've come across quite a few programs that will not run and some that stutter enough to make them unusable.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warplane95:
not a single reboot in a week :D

probably software related?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acoriano:
No reboots here either after having the phone for 12 days or so.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XavierD8188:
I've had two as well. First one was on the stock rom and the second one was on a custom rom. Both happened immediately after setting up my bluetooth headphones and adding my headphones to my secure devices that basically disable security when it's connected. I think there's a bug and hopefully there's a fix in 6.1
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S60tonexi:
Not a single reboot here after 4 weeks. Also, I've been using Firefox since day one. I do restart my phone couple times a week, so that may help with stability.

This is a real problem!

Okay, guys (and gals), we have a real problem here! I'm getting random reboots every few days or more! Several times while Google Maps was providing GPS guidance! This is a real problem! Where is Google on this! I have the 64 GB version, so my investment is not cheap! I've had Android phones since the original Droid without a problem...and now this!

No body to really talk to either. Apple has great customer service you can call, and if I buy a phone from my carrier, there is also someone to call and talk to. You guys on XDA are great, but it shouldn't be your obligation to fix Google's mess. What is Google doing to address this major problem!

Also, sometimes my phone just seems to die! What do I press to force a reboot?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
Holding down the power button for about 5-10 seconds will force a reboot.

This was it for me! I would try to upload a photo to google+, and shortly after finishing it would force several soft reboots back to back. It seems like this was the cause. Guess greenify has to get their stuff together.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoridersd:
I had always used the GCM part of Greenify and it was my favorite feature, but I recently found out that it has always been a very beta feature and most apps don't work well with it. With Marshmallow's Doze, I think Greenify can do better without needing to use GCM.

I have found that the battery life in my 6P is amazing without using Greenify, so I'm looking forward to what Greenify can do for me once the kinks are ironed out.

Or it can be virus try factory resting your mobile
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrienned:
I'm pretty sure its a program you have installed on there. I haven't had a single reboot and I have an unlocked bootloader with root! This is vanilla android so I definitely don't think there's a compatibility issue as far as Google releasing buggy software. Have you tried checking for an update and restoring your phone? I think installing your necessary programs only, seeing how the phone runs and then adding apps back to see if the reboots come back should definitely do the trick.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
I use to get random reboots 2-3 times every other day until I went and kill all unused / rogue apps and done a full wipe of cache and dalvik and now no more random reboots. I’m also have Xposed and GravityBox install and still no reboots. I hope this may help others. Random reboots sucks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingpongg:
I "only" got 2-3 reboots the first week with the phone. Then I started getting them once or twice a day. Even after clearing cache, factory resetting, etc...

I was especially frustrated because I am using the same apps I use on the nexus 6 and 7 with marshmallow.

Then I came across someone else (here or on reddit) who fixed their random reboots by uninstalling the google news and weather app. I realized I had always disabled it on my other devices but had not done so on my 6p.

I uninstalled news and weather on Sunday (29-Nov) morning and have not rebooted since. In my case at least, that seems to have been the issue (fingers still crossed).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymook:
Ive had two. Both times it happened when the phone was sitting idle. The first time I pulled it out of my pocket and it was in the middle of rebooting. 2nd time, it was sitting on the couch next to me and restarted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monkeyfeng:
I had two reboots happen within 20 minutes of each other when I was driving my car and using my phone for navigation. It's because quite dangerous now if my navigation goes out in the middle of a drive. I hope it's not a hardware issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cougzzz:
My first device had reboots about once a day and my RMA device has not run across any reboot issue. Same set up too. I even tested the first device under safe mode and did a complete factory reset but had reboots.

If y'all continue to have reboots after a clean install, my suggestion is to request for a new device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revoman:
I have lockups and reboots happen when I plug in my charger with the screen off and the hitting the power button to wake it up. Its almost like the device freaks out trying to negotiate a regular charge vs a fast charge. This is when using the official charger And cable that came with the phone. seems get worse the lower the battery during this step.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valynor:
Had my first random reboot today after one week. I was using the N6P without a SIM the whole week with no problems.

Today my nano SIM arrived, everything worked, charged the phone to 100% and put it aside.

3 hours later: picked the phone up, display switched on, I tapped the screen to check battery % (still 100), put it down, screen dimmed ... stayed dim way too long ... aaaaaand reboot. :-|

My guess is it's a bug in Marshmallow that will be sorted out. All my new Google devices had a bug or two when they were just released.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Shotwonder:
Same issue here on stock 64gb aluminum N6P stock not rooted. I have had 3 random reboots first one I can t recall cause I disregarded and a fluke and did not retain memory but I I know the second which is where I raised a red flag and was highly up set due to being a over an hour late to work as my phone rebooted In the middle of the night and when I woke up asked for pin and did not have any alarms go off as it was technically in limbo between off and on causing me to have to stay later at work on thanksgiving that was great. Then today I reach in my pocket to pull my phone out to check the time really quick to find bam my phone not responding to my finger placement on the "nexus imprint" so I use the screen lock button and bam please enter pin and phone continues to finish booting. Are we still thinking its software related or more along the lines of a bad batch and possible quality control issues?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humpty123:
Has anyone had any reboot issues since 6.0.1 update? Just curious since I got the update I had any issues yet. I also did a cache wipe also just in case.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chingf0rd:
Yeah - mine has. It's stock except an unlocked bootloader. Annoyingly, the boot up warning screen has changed from orange to red now too (anyone else have this?) - It's a UK 64GB Aluminium.

Google Play Services gets screwed on reboot too - meaning I have to do several reboots before it settles down - sometimes the home screen resets to factory defaults and a loss of widgets etc, sometimes settings get reset. Pretty frustrating, as when it is working, the phone is mega with no real need for me to root or customise.

I may get a replacement...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrkf:
My phone reboots at least once a day without fail, sometimes when browsing (chrome, latest update), sometimes when using stopwatch, and sometimes when it's on my desk doing nothing. I've tried different kernels and roms and will now give complete stock a go for a couple of days.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XavierD8188:
If you're still having issues with random reboots then RMA your device. I RMA my previous device and haven't had one reboot on the new device since I received it *knock on wood* and I had 6.0.1 on my other device before returning it and still had issues. Same setup, same custom rom, same everything. This is from BBS showing that my phone has been up for 8 days since last boot (When I got the phone and set it up)..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhayks:
I used to have random reboots, but after the latest update its resolved. No more annoying reboots.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humpty123:
I just finally got my RMA UPS and Huawei were both ****ing up. I requested it back in Nov and posted I was sending it out but they never sent it. Then early December I requested another one, again end of the year and still nothing finally I called Huawei telling them I was going to send my phone back and I was demanding a refund and a few hours later I got my RMA! I sent it out today now the wait finally.

I got looong reboot. And 2 reboots in same day after.

Long was when i sleep. Others when i listen music by bluetooth.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snakecharmer23:
RMA approved

I've been living with random reboots since I got the phone at the end of November. It usually happens when I'm typing a message in hangouts but I've also seen it happen in Google Maps while using Navigation and once when setting up a new activity in Google Fit. The phone has also rebooted a few times while just sitting in my pocket. The frequency was so sparse that I thought it might just go away with a few updates but this week it has gotten worse. I flashed the latest factory image via Fastboot this past weekend and yesterday I got 2 reboots in the same day.

I talked to support and after being on hold 20 minutes, they processed my RMA and sent me the shipping label. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it really isn't a software bug but I won't know until I get the new device set up.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:

If anyone with reboots is running Greenify, uncheck the "GCM Push for Greenified Apps" - that's caused me a heck of a lot of grief while troubleshooting
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronn88:
I turned this off too and it seemed like it stopped the random reboots so far today, but its only been a day which the past few days I would get reboots 5 to 7 times a day and even reboots back to back within a couple seconds from each other.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xflowy:
anyone who had the problem and could def. determine it as a hardware issue (by getting a new device which didnt bug, eg.)?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chingf0rd:
Yes - my first 6P was randomly rebooting from November to December - it was completely stock. I got a RMA new replacement in late December and it has never rebooted by itself or crashed to this day. Still completely stock.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xflowy:
how often did the first one reboot (while sleeping or in use)? and what manufacturer date is your recent?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chingf0rd:
First one rebooted pretty much 4 or 5 times per week. It rebooted whilst asleep or in middle of use. Totally unacceptable. I didn't take any notice of which manufacturing build of that one. The replacement I have now which is rock-solid has a barcode date of 2 Nov 2015.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Have gone through 5 roms over a few months and haven't had a single reboot.

Could be:

Heat

A mod (xposed)

Poor apps

Poor ROM

Badly installed ROM

Poor setup (badly rooted, corrupt system)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xflowy:
so its more likely to be a software than a hardware issue?

i guess i'm gonna go with once is like never and hope it stays that way.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
I've had this phone for roughly three months now and have to say I've never experienced a random reboot/freeze.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
I would say so yes, a conflicting app? Or bad mod would do it. Try a nice fresh install of a ROM. Clear down your SD of junk and just install what you need.

I think if it was hardware you'd be having more issues.

I've had my 6P for about 4 months now and I've experienced multiple random reboots while the device is asleep. I've factory reset twice, but have not tried to flash a stock IMG yet. I've never rooted this phone either. I'm thinking it's a software issue only due to to minor bugs in marshmallow. I know it has been rebooted because I get the enter your password when I try to unlock it with my fingerprint. Also is there a way to turn it off? I've been in the settings and regardless if I uncheck the password after reboot option it still is there after rebooting.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xflowy:
so u haven't had a reboot in the 4 month before?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uknowme4me:
I had them much less then compared to now. It started maybe once or twice a week to at least ones or twice a day now. I always factory reset after taking an update as well so I don't know what it could be.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
This is not always the best way to tell, if reboots occur rarely. When this happens, do you also notice your "Up Time" has been reset in Settings/About Phone? Roughly every 72 hours, your pin is required if you have only used your fingerprint. That would give you the impression that the phone has rebooted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uknowme4me:
I have never checked the "Up Time" so after a few days that could be a factor. It's happening at least once a day now. It could be due to some apps not being completely compatible with marshmallow. Idk lol. Still very happy overall.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Ok, every day is definitely a problem lol I couldn't stand random reboots that often

Edit: Are you using any app to lock your screen? This may also give you a prompt for pin, depending on the app. Either way, you definitely want to isolate what is the source of your random reboots.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vecaly:

This is an old thread, but I'm having issues with my Nexus 6P randomly rebooting too, several times a day. I figured that a cache wipe and factory reset would fix this, but it's still happening. I'm on 7.1.1 Nougat. Anyone have any ideas? Do I just need to replace the phone? (The phone is an RMA replacement; not sure if that has anything to do with the issue.)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernievidal:
Had 3 random reboots today. Now I'm I'm in a bootloop. I already tried to restore it to factory settings with no avail. Help please.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrot34:
I called Google and they're replacing my phone. It doesn't seem like everyone's having this issue on Nougat, and if it's happening on a freshly-wiped phone with no 3rd party apps installed, I presume it's a hardware issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
There's an article about this issue on the main XDA page. You probably need to RMA the phone if it's under warranty.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrot34:
My issue is a little different from what I read in the XDA article: I'm not in a bootloop, but the phone is randomly rebooting several times a day. And this doesn't seem associated with any particular app or activity. (It happens both when I use the phone and when I don't: it always happens at least once when the phone is sleeping overnight.)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
Are you using a custom ROM or a custom kernel? Were you previously? If you are on stock did the issue begin after an OTA?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrot34:
Everything on my phone is and has always been 100% stock. No root or any other modifications. I'm afraid I can't remember quite when the issue started, but it's been happening for a good while now. I got the phone as a warranty replacement unit back in early November and immediately allowed it to update. I feel like the issue started soon after I received the device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
If it updated from Marshmallow to Nougat after you got it clearing the system cache might fix your problem. It's always a good idea after a large OTA.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrot34:
Yeah, I did. Cleared the system cache, and then did a complete factory reset. The problem persists.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
You could try running your phone in safe mode to rule out a downloaded app causing the random reboots.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrot34:
Thanks; yeah, I've had crashes happen even in safe mode, and they persist on a freshly-wiped phone and no apps (other than what comes on the phone) installed. I've gotten a warranty replacement Nexus 6P from Google, though, and the new phone hasn't rebooted in a couple days; my troubled old Nexus 6P never went nearly that long without a crash.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJComet:
I just recently started experiencing this and can't figure out if it's software or hardware.

I received my phone early December, never had an issue with it rebooting on its own until January 2nd when I was charging it in my car and opened up an email with Inbox. It opened fine and I was able to read it but within a few seconds, the screen turned black and the phone rebooted itself. The second time it happened was tonight when opening up Pokemon GO, right after the Niantic screen. I feel like it can't be hardware since I've had absolutely no issues with my phone otherwise and it's only been in use for less than a month.

I'm running stock 6.0.1, rooted with Magisk 10.2, and ElementalX 1.18 kernel.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Didn't look at the changelog, but the latest EX for MM is ElementalX-N6P-1.22. Updating may help, but I doubt it's the kernel. Why are you still on 6.0.1 ...are you running Xposed ? Since your phone is so new, I'd start with a factory reset and test it for a while before modding it. Battery strong...getting good SOT?
