Random Reboots w/ JB 4.1.1 STOCK

[rlhammon]

Random reboots here as well... been going on since the update, or at least frequently enough that I've noticed it since then. I also get a lack of audio during phone calls... I can hear the other party, but they can't hear me. Only solution is to pull the battery and call them back... my BlackBerry never had such issues.

For this issue, I think it's just a random Verizon bug. I don't believe it has anything to do with any particular phone.
I remember when I was on Sprint over 7-8 years ago, I would get this issue once in a while when I called someone who was using a Verizon phone.
Was the other person who couldn't hear you using Verizon?

Re: This phone is only three upgrades behind now

Fortunately Google has already put out a a bug addressing update so I'm sure we will see it in about eight to twelve weeks.
Not soon enough for me. I would assume this will be the last update i receive before my contracts (5) are up next November. I will gladly go to t Mobile on a prepaid and dump these guys once and for all. My guess is VZW is about five years away from a true Nexus phone.

Same problem here. No rhyme or reason to the freeze/reboots. Hoping it gets fixed via ota. But if not by January, cyanogenmod for me. Have given it a year at stock. Time for an upgrade.

Re: This phone is only three upgrades behind now

I have suffered and suffered with this rebooting as much as much 5 times a day and I just solved the problem! The issue for me was GO SMS Pro of all thing. Now, I'm not saying there is something wrong with the app specifically, I don't know that to be true. It could be that GO SMS Pro has an issue with 4.1.1 and/or another app? Once I completely uninstalled GO SMS Pro and all the themes, I've not had one reboot and I have never gone more than 24 hours without a reboot and it's now been 5 days. I could not be more happy.

The thing that made me suspect GO SMS Pro was that a reboot happened one day at work with the phone facing up on my desk and I JUST happened to see what looked like the screen starting to come on for an alert and THEN the reboot. Now, there isn't a million things on my phone that would do that which led me to investigate GO SMS Pro.

I hope this helps someone else.

Question..did anyone have these random reboots/restarts while on ICS?

 

[mikebear]

I did get reboots on ICS. I got tired of the reboots and lockups as they were getting more frequent (more than once a day sometimes) so I did a factory restore and it has been behaving very well since.

Are you on JB or still running ICS?

 

[gforce1963]

well..this is interesting. I did a factory reset and life was good. But as soon as I connected to my home wireless router the phone restarted. Could this be a sign of a hardware problem?

Well, Im on US Celluar. They updated in Dec to 4.1.1. I *WAS* rooted, did the upgrade, and re-rooted. Have been having reboot issues since, stealth reboot issues. A week ago I went back to 4.0.4 (complete reset to stock factory a few updates back) and allowed the OTA back to the last 4.0.4 update and didn't allow the 4.1.1 update. The Phone worked flawlessly. Today I allowed the 4.1.1 update. Both WIFI and bluetooth are causing lock-ups and/or reboots. From what I've seen and read, US Celluar uses Verizon code.

Don't think 4.1.1 is stable on these phones ....

Did the same thing last night. Went back to 4.0.4 and have had no problems going back and forth between routers with no reboot/restarts. Makes you wonder if 4.2.1 will be stable....IF we ever see it.

I've this Issue with Stock "Bell Mobility" JB 4.1.1 on my GS3 too. When I was with ICS, no problem. Since the OTA update, random reboot maybe once a week, once a day, once a month.... randomly.....

I think it's a OS problem, cuz a lot of GS3, Note and other JB 4.1.1 phone have the same problem.

I hope that the next update will be more stable than this one :/

Ciao !

Re:MaStErbLk, I have radio problems with mine too, when I shut down or reboot I have to either try several reboots to get the Phone reception to start working again. I have found it is easier and faster to pull the battery and for whatever reason this works EVERY time! When I pull the battery and boot the phone up, the reception is there everytime.

I had the random reboot thing quite often (say two to three times a week) on 4.1.1. Since upgrading to 4.2.2 it has disappeared and I've not had a single random reboot *yet*. I did not do a factory reset or anything.

 

[Umass021]

Mine has been the opposite. No reboots with 4.1.1 but at least 4-5 since 4.2.2 and I need to take the battery out to fix it.

I have the same issue, I notice that with my stock nexus on 4.1.1, it will randomly reboot. Not every day, but it ALWAYS freezes and reboots when I have a lot of tabs open in chrome, or when downloading larger files through chrome.

PS I have been ignoring 4.2.2, didn't upgrade then revert.

I also had random re-boots when my phone was on 4.1.1/4.1.2. Although, I started to notice a pattern--it usually occurred when I had the screen on, running an app that required internet (i.e. pandora for streaming, chrome browser--while waiting for a page to load), and then after letting the screen auto shut-off, the phone would then freeze up (with the screen off). If I was using Pandora (or other streaming audio), the audio would still play for awhile, but the phone would be un-responsive if I pressed the power or volume buttons. After waiting about a minute or 2, the phone would re-boot.

However, since 4.2.2 update, this issue seemed to go away.
