| Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/11/12 1:44 PM | Hi all, since about two or three weeks, my Google Nexus S running stock ICS 4.0.4 began restarting randomly. Sometimes, it runs fine the whole day, sometimes it restarts 2 or even three times a day. It's not caused by an upgrade to ICS 4.0.4 which |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | verong | 6/11/12 3:54 PM | Hey there, The thing about maps is interesting, but I think it maybe a virus. I have also found that watching where you store your device matters point in case: my samsung gem has two ways to power up from standby 1. the power button 2. the camera bu |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/11/12 9:31 PM | How would I find out its a virus? And how would I get rid of it? (I think, a virus is rather unlikely. The phone isn't rooted, I don't install many apps, and only from the android market.) Concerning the buttons: my phone even restarts while layin |

| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | .Larry747 | 6/12/12 2:48 AM | Hello, If you want to see if it is a virus?,Go to Google Play Store in the search with the key word Antivirus Free(if you want free one) I picked Avast but there are so many to pick from, just go with the one nearing 5 stars and you should find a g |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/12/12 4:09 AM | Thanks, I'll try that and report back. |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/12/12 6:26 AM | Antivirus Free says Apps, Settings, Content, and Media are all ok, i.e., green checkmark and "All security issues were addressed". Bye,Tassilo |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Paul | 6/12/12 2:26 PM | Any app that uses location services could cause some Maps usage to show up on the battery meter, including Google Latitude. As for the rebooting, perhaps an app that you installed or updated recently is causing the phone to reboot? Try uninstalling r |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/12/12 11:25 PM | Hi Paul, thanks with the clarification concerning Maps. With respect to the broken-apps-might-cause-reboot issue: as I've written in my original posting, I already tried uninstalling apps that had an update recently or which I installed recently such |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | verong | 6/13/12 6:11 AM | Hey there A couple. Of requests 1. Turn phone on but not unlock time the time to auto turn off 2. Goto to MSNBC from search then time it until auto turn off Sincerely Verong Note: do not touch phone while timing |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/13/12 7:33 AM | Hi Verong, sorry, but I don't get you completely. 1. Should I turn it on but not enter my SIM-card PIN so that it won't connect to the mobile carrier (O2 Germany if that matters)? 2. What's MSNBC? http://www.msnbc.msn.com? That would require a network con |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Paul | 6/13/12 9:58 AM | No problem! |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | verong | 6/13/12 12:26 PM | Hey tassilo Yes both before you unlock and when unlocked and when online. This should not require wiify so turn off wiify before going to MSNBC or cnbcmobile both provide free video to see if it times out Sincerely Verong Note when going online witho |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/13/12 12:49 PM | That's a good idea. I've just removed the first bunch of 7 apps that I don't need too pressing. Bye,Tassilo |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/13/12 12:55 PM | Ok. At 4pm I've shut it down normally and switched it on again without providing my PIN. I think, it hasn't crashed since then, but I can't tell for sure because if it did and rebooted, I'd end up exactly where I left it: the PIN entry activity. No |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | verong | 6/13/12 2:16 PM | Hey tassilo Each test should take less than 10 minutes Sincerely Verong You are testing auto shutdown |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/13/12 11:10 PM | Both tests, e.g., turning the phone on but not giving the PIN but just let it lay around (several hours long) as well as letting it lay while browsing MSNBC over night, didn't cause any reboots. |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | verong | 6/14/12 12:22 PM | Hey Tassilo Does it run slower or freeze up. Next goto settings application running programs then tell me your available memory Sincerely Verong |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/14/12 12:46 PM | No, it has never frozen up, and it doesn't feel slower, at least not so much that I'd notice it. |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/14/12 12:52 PM | Ah, that's probably 335 MB that are available for apps, the other 177 MB are probably reserved for android. Bye,Tassilo |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | verong | 6/14/12 1:49 PM | Hey Tassilo In one of your comments you were talking about needing. Wifi access. MSNBC Try this Goto home then menu then setting then display then check your auto shutdown setting adjust as needed to access without bt. Or Wifi Sincerely Verong |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/14/12 11:16 PM | I already tried browsing MSNBC both with WIFI and G3 phone carrier. It didn't crash. But right now, it crashed again. I switched it on this morning (1h ago), logged in, then 30 minutes ago read some mail with it and let it go then. Shortly after a |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | verong | 6/15/12 6:07 AM | Hey Tassilo Yes I meant system settings. It will auto shutdown screen I had my first crash two days ago after nine months good going. I had added a new app killer " easy app killer advance" that day check your app killer and try disabaling it Sincere |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | Tassilo Horn | 6/15/12 10:54 AM | Should I disable the display sleep, or what do you mean? |
| Re: Nexus S running Android 4.0.4 restarts randomly | verong | 6/15/12 11:24 AM | Hey Tassilo Yes turn off display timer then see how long it takes I have a? Does yours have a 30 sec option if so set it there and tell me the results ie does it power down Sincerely Verong |
