I am not sure why, but I get random reboots constantly on any rom, including straight OTA stock. I was wondering how many people out there use Beautiful Widgets or Light Flow?
Sent from my totally awesome Sprint Galaxy Nexus, even if I don't know all its secrets yet.
Unfortunately, my random reboots are occuring while still on 4.1.1. My Gnex is on the Ting network, and we haven't gotten the 4.2.1 update yet.
Interesting you posted this. With my old phone (GSII Skyrocket), I had great wifi signal in my bedroom. However, it looks like the Gnex wifi antenna is weaker, and my bedroom coverage is spotty. I was only experiencing the reboots sometime during the night while charging on my bedside table. I have thought it had something to do with the overnight charge, but it may actually be the spotty wifi, like you said.... I can say that my reboots occur more often when I have weak signals, especially weak wifi so it kinda makes sense that this would work....
After doing some research online it seemed the consensus was the reboot problem was caused by applications or widgets. So... with 4.1.1 installed, I did a factory reset and just installed newer apps. On 4.2.1 I had a whole bunch of old apps I used to have on previous phones so I did not not re-install any of these apps just to see if they were the problem. My phone has yet to restart. I only resorted to this because even with just a few apps yesterday during the day even with 4.1.1 when I went to my recent calls and hit the phone Icon to dial the Number the Screen went BLACK ...it rang... and touching it would not do anything it stayed black... and then the phone restarted. I panicked, did a factory reset and just installed a couple of important apps.
For me, all the problems with reboots are with phone calls or anything within the Phone App itself. Problematic and it really worries me so I am not sure how much longer I am keeping this phone...
After some reading online about the reboots...I ended up turning off the Location access (gps) for Wi-fi & mobile network location but left GPS Satellites on. So far been 24 hours and no reboot yet; I know because I make sure to leave an app open so I dont miss if it reboots. Perhaps this will fix it until an update comes to fix it, but if it has to get Sprint approval again, it may be months. Hard to say.
