Random Reboot on stock GSM galaxy nexus!

Hi, I recently bought Unlocked GSM galaxy nexus. I installed all basic apps like facebook, kindle, and few games. The problem started after 1st day, the phone reboots while watching youtube video or any touch intensive application without warning! One pattern I saw that application freezes for a while than phone restarts. First I thought that problem might be due to ROM, so i unlocked-rooted the phone and installed Sanfransisco ROM (4.0.3) and there I experienced same problem!
Yestrday I reverted my phone to stock, and the problem hasn't repeated as I haven't installed any 3rd party app. but yesterday night i installed kindle and today in the morning when i started my phone from standby, I was greeted by a black screen then startup animation! but strangely when i checked the up-time of the phone, it hadn't restarted. It was showing same 30+ hours up-time. So was this some kind of soft-boot? also to cross-check i manually restarted the phone and up-time reset to 0.
Please help me with this issue! is there a fix? please don't tell me to replace the device as i have brought it from abroad as the phone hasnt officially launched in my country. There is a similar thread in google with 100s of people having same problem, so i think this is a software bug. what do you people think?
here is the link to that thread:
http://www.google.co.in/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=4a51e070d7b1f856&hl=en&start=40
PS: My phone doesn't get stuck in boot loops! there is also no issue with wi-fi, and the frequency of reboot varies from 1-3 i a day depending on usage. With stock ROM the phone has rebooted only once
(in 40+ hours) with uptime unchanged as i discussed earlier.

Bumping the thread. So many views, not a single reply! This is a serious problem for me.

Guess it's the same problem as mentioned here:

After one month it had been away, a bunch of days ago I got my Galaxy Nexus back from the tech support (motherboard failure).
I proceeded to unroot it again and I installed ParanoidAndroid (6th March beta) since I was using that rom before it broke and flashed trinity on top of it. I noticed a peculiar behavior when trying to playback youtube videos (both in the app and in the browser): sometimes the request would just hang there and if I did anything like pressing the back button, the app would be found unresponsive by the operating system and the "youtube isn't responding. Ok|wait" message would appear. I just got back my Galaxy Nexus from mI just got back my Galaxy Nexus from mI just got back my Galaxy Nexus from m If in a boot session that happens, I get the same thing happening on several apps like twitch.tv and clock. I discovered that the clock app wasn't working properly last morning, when the alarm didn't go off and I kind of overslept to uni, it wasn't nice .
I tried flashing other roms and kernels combinations as well as factory resetting, fixing permissions, installing busybox, re-installing youtube, clearing caches of various apps.
Has anyone ever experienced something similar? Thank you.

stability update

Has anyome else recieved a stability update on the 8.4?

yes for the US SM-T320 8.4 but I'm getting random reboots. it was fine on the earlier version, never had any random reboots. I tried to factory reset after the update but still the same. it seems to do a soft random reboot when you are doing something on the tablet and you leave it idle for a few seconds. It never rebooted while I'm actively using it even if the load is high..

Mine says device modified, I am rooted - any workaround?

I'm currently uploading the new ND3 DeOdex ROM base now. (Tab Pro 8.4 Wi-Fi)
I will also upload the bootloader firmware (Odin flashable) too.

I managed to capture a logcat but I can't seem to identify the cause of reboots, can anyone assist with that pls...

TabPro 8.4 random restarts
Hello guys
So, it appears i am not alone then.
The school i work in as an IT tech, has purchased us 2 TabPro 8.4 tablets and the one i have has given me hell so far with these random reboots.
It has the latest update and is also rooted. It has nothing to do with the root i believe as it did it before and also after applying the latest OTA update. I have now factory reset it and noticed a slight difference in the home screen where i now have 2 pages (1 home screen of course) wheres, as far as i remember, when i first turned it on it only had 1. I may be wrong though.
I didn't sign in to any accounts yet (google, samsung dropbox etc.) and left it with Google chrome and Samsung own browser open. I suppose only time will tell now. It's really bloody frustrating though because i spent hours loading all my apps again and restoring app data via Helium etc.
Another thing i noticed is that even i after wiping the tablet via recovery (Wipe device/factory reset option) it actually kept root.

New device, issues gone
Got my replacement unit from John Lewis today (i must say their service is the best i have seen) and spent hours on the device rooting it and installing all the apps i had on my other unit.
I have not encountered one single reboot so far , whereas my previous unit restarted on me pretty much 30 minutes after i first turned it on.
My advice to you is if you are having stability issues and random restarts with your TabPro 8.4, send it back for a replacement.

I installed the update also and haven't had any issues or random reboots either. The screen sensitivity fixes are great. Huge difference.

I spoke too soon it seems. It did restart on me. Twice. Once whilst caching images on quickpic app and second time installing Samsung's own office suite of applications.

What is this? Stability or Instability update? Sammy, why?

anyone who doesn't suffer from Random reboots, are you rooted?
also those who suffer from reboots, are you all rooted?
My the Theory: I think this reboots are related to being rooted or have knox void.

Mine restarted before root but after I installed the OTA update. I since rooted it but it didn't change a thing obviously. God knows how many times it reboots a day. I leave it in airplane mode with a few apps running and after a couple of hours I notice that the apps that ran on the background are not there anymore so I figured out it restarted. is there anyway to uninstall the OTA update???

Stability update
Since reverting back to old version (and rooting the device again) i have suffered 0 random reboots. Looks like the latest update screws something up.

I have two 8.4's and they both boot when I wake them up. They are rooted with Xposed, but I uninstalled Xposed and tried one without it and it still boots at random. So IMO Xposed/root isn't causing the trouble.
See my other post... wonder if that'll fix this. I'd almost rather have the reboots over the screen sensitivity problem, but either way, the tabs aren't really usable.

I have used my tab pro 8.4 now for 5 days running on the old firmware rooted and with xposed running, without a single glitch. I'd strongly advise people to avoid updating the tablets to the latest ND3 firmware.

I purchased a tab pro 8.4 a few weeks ago and was noticing random reboots several times an hour. A couple of days later I got the update and didn't see any change in reboot behavior. Couldn't link it to anything at all as it happened before as well as after rooting and adding Xposed.
Changed to Average Joe's debloated (elsewhere in the forums) and have had zero random reboots since. Also running several exposed modules without any problems. Purely anecdotal, but it appears to have increased the overall responsiveness of the device while keeping most of the good things Samsung put on top of stock Android.

New update
Samsung released a new update to the TabPro 8.4 which is supposed to improve stability and add "Kids mode" (firmware version ending with NE3). I gave it a go and the random reboots got back! wiped my device clean and installed NAI firmware and all is well again!

Random Rebooting

I haven't unlocked the boot loader nor added any custom ROM on my Pixel, but last few months it started to reboot at random times. I did a factory reset and it lasted a few weeks before doing it again. I've been slow to add my old apps back to see if it was an app, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
I thought about flashing a ROM, maybe it would help haha.
Any ideas?

Do you have Pokemon Go installed? I have the same problem when that game is installed.

I don't. I don't have any games installed right now to test things but it still reboots.

Having the same problem - started about 2 weeks ago as far as I can tell. Haven't done anything to the bootloader and isn't rooted - completely stock. Seems to happen when browsing web pages, or pages with links on such as within Twitter or Google app. Not every time. Phone just freezes for about 3 seconds and then reboots. WTF?

I believe this is an app problem so try to pay attention to what specifically you are doing when it happens. Like the guy above says, happens fairly frequently with Pokemon GO since one of their updates this year-ish. I personally haven't noticed it anywhere else.

Have tried uninstalling bitdefender ... see if that makes a difference
2 DAYS LATER - seems to have solved the problem!

One ui 2.5 update is garbage

Just got the new update today morning, it's been a lag fest since then, one to two second pauses when opening apps, pauses when pressing any of the nav buttons, horrible battery drain. It's 2pm now and Im down to 15% already.
First screen shot is from today, second is from yesterday's usage.
Already cleared cache, made no difference.

Which app it is? Your screenshot?

Exactly what I wanted to know as well.

Regarding the topic, for me, personally, this update has been quite good. Everything runs well and I like the small visual clues and changes.

Lucky you, this is the first time an update screwed up my phone. I'll probably have to wipe the phone.

Hey , my phone has been the same, lag and stutters while scrolling and opening apps and stuff. I've cleared cache multiple times , didn't worked. You need to factory reset, it works so smooth now.

Update running great for me, I did optimize apps right after via galaxy labs however.
No lag, battery the same as it was before.

Same here....I will pass update.
My S20+ after update: battery drain, laggy scroll, laggy opening apps....
I tried all day trying to fix it but nothing....I booted in safe mode and not lucky so it is not and installed app.
I tried wipe cache...I tried disable multiple services, wipe cache and data from touch wiz, etc....nothing works.
Phone is totally useless after updated with lag and battery drain...and runs very hot
That updated is a Russian Roulette....beware!!
I will try to flash a clean rom using odin and restore apps.

my opinion , after every big update , device need factory reset and install everything from 0.
that what i did with my s20 ultra after one ui 2.5 update

S20 SD. No problem with the update.

Had the same issue as you. If you're using package disabler, enable all pkgs, clear the cache, restart, and then redisable. Worked for me

I had the same problem but in my case I got it fixed after enabling IMS with Package Disabler because I had these disabled without issues before the update.
After enabling this my S20 Ultra runs good again, so if you have package disabler installed start looking into that.
So definitely no need to reset like others say lol, it is no new Android so why would you just a conflicting going on
Btw I install updates always with first enabling everything and update all disabled ans then installing updates.
After update, running galaxy labs, cache cleaning and then disabling my list with Package Disabler again.
So don't no why IMS packages gave me issues this time....

Hmm interesting, which package disabler are you using btw? The ccswe one stopped working a few months ago.
I was just about to wipe the phone, i restored all the packages and wiped cache and so far so good :good::good::good::good:

!!!EXACTLY!!! The same thing is happening to me. Slow fingerprint unlock (its getting stuck sometimes), Slow in opening the apps, navigating back. I clreared the cache but no use. Its dam frustrating, I feel like Im using heavy software on Galaxy S5 phone

The update has been fine for me, T-mobile s20+ SC. Only thing annoying me is that they took away wallpaper scrolling from 3rd party launchers.

Has anyone had issues with automatic wallpaper apps? I use resplash to auto set a wallpaper every 3 hours. It seems everytime overnight it will switch itself to a default Sam wallpaper for no reason.

I received this update few days ago. but I have no issues, I thing even the time of battery is definitely better. software is responding good and fast.
Just two old bugs are still chasing myphone. The edge lightning ( does not work. ex: Messenger APP) and delay on gMails notifications.

My wireless charger stopped working after the update, no other issues.

Everytime my screen turns off my WiFi gets disconnected and then I turn it on and it connects again. Any ideas?

S20+ on VZW. No issues.
Only thing not working is I can no longer expand notifications from Nest, though not sure if that's a Nest problem or on the phone's end.

I feel it's noticely faster on my S20 Ultra (G988B) and battery may be the same or slightly better. Ovrerall, great update especially the DeX and Pro Video recording update.
