Is your Pixel 3 spontaneously rebooting after Android 10?

It does seem as though we're the only two people in the world with this issue, though.

LOL! I have just been pretending there is this huge audience watching our conversation. Hey, if they aren't watching now, you never know when someone is searching this topic for help. And to further that point, keep reading...

Nothing new to report since the one reboot.

You tried the stable release recently, or do you mean previously? I'm not sure when the last stable release was rolled out, or if it's the AdGuard app that was fixed, even. Since I'm using the nightly versions, I'm not sure how you'll know if the stable works (unless you have tried it recently).

I haven't tried a stable release in several months.

I decided to go check on the stable release date. I thought it must be in the past month. Either this page isn't updated or it has been a long time since a stable release. It shows AUGUST 29, 2019 as the last release!

So... there could be people still hitting the problem if that's the last stable release.

Maybe I'll email them. Yeah, I will.

There is also the beta channel between stable and nightlies, FWIW.

I just wish we had a definitive answer as to what it was that (seemingly) fixed the issue. If it really was Google's fix, you should be able to use the stable version, I'd think. Hopefully, they'll email you back with some insight.

Oh - I didn't have much hope for insight. They are very nice, actually really helpful with a billing issue, but when it comes to this Android 10 issue, no details. I asked if the updates page was current and received this:

Hello!

Thank you for reaching out to AdGuard Support!

The information on that page is correct. The full list of updates, including beta-versions, can be found here. The nightly version changelog is available in a .jsone format only: https://static.adguard.com/android/nightly/builds.json

Let us know should you have any additional questions. Have a great day!

Best wishes,

I looked into the beta because you mentioned it and went on a journey through various web pages to end up here where AdGuard declares a workaround was released on Dec 7 in the nightlies and beta. It says it reduces but does not eliminate the reboots. They also say they think the fix will be issued in the next Android update.

It's been 10 days since I reactivated AdGuard. It's been 4 days since the one (and only in that 10 days) short reboot I experienced.

In the past, I would have had numerous short reboots in either of those spans of time. So, that sounds spot on with what they described. I can live with that, and hope they're right about a permanent fix in January.

Thanks for sharing the info.

So, they just released a new stable version 3.3 in the past couple of days. Did you switch to that? I scanned through the very long list of changes and didn't see anything specific to this reboot issue but I may have missed it. It was a long list! I would not be surprised if they kept the band-aid fix out of it in hopes of a solid fix in January update.

No, I'm staying with the nightlies.

I forgot to post it, but I also had a "short reboot" on Thursday afternoon. Again, sounds as though their description of the issue being improved but not eliminated is spot on.

Yes. This is reassuring that they are being honest about the issue and do have an idea of what's going on. One week until January so that means we might get the next update in 3 or 4 weeks.

I got the Dec update on my 3 XL right away.

2 short reboots in 16 days since I turned AdGuard back on. I'd prefer to not have them, but I can live with that given the benefits of the app. Also, if these were full reboots, I might feel differently.

I keep forgetting this is a Pixel 3 forum and you have a 3XL. I mainly use a 4XL now. Its update was delayed into the third week of December. My Pixel 3 got it within a day, like yours.

Will touch base after January update.

Yeah, I didn't like the direction the 4 went. I'm not sure what will happen whenever I upgrade my 3 XL.

 

[KPMcClave]

Just had a short reboot.

~21 days, 3 short reboots.

 

[Lepa79]

Not a single reboot since I got my pixel 3 XL and updated to Android 10 about a month ago. All good here.

That is better than I recall. Wasn't it every 2-3 days? I am waiting for the Jan update (not expecting it anytime soon after last month).

When it hits, I guess you have to wait 7-8 days to see what happens unless AdGuard officially announces something.

A wrench has been thrown. I guess, the good kind. Interesting twist. Glad it's working for you!

With AdGuard?

Yeah, it's definitely better. I didn't make it 2 days without a short reboot before. That this is an "acceptable" level of annoyance now is the proof it's improved, I guess.

 

[Lepa79]

With AdGuard?

No didn't use that. Sorry if this thread was specifically about that.

I think it may have originally been an open question, but we narrowed it down to being an issue with AdGuard.
