Nexus 10 no longer rebooting

Just a quickie to report that the N10 has not rebooted since I decided to  Restore Stock Backup taken by the Franco Kernel Updater. This got me back to the original kernel, but About info didn't look right to me so I ended up using the Nexus 10 Toolkit to restore Stock JDQ39. This showed the same build info (i.e. the repeat was unnecessary) but it restored pretty well everything from the Google auto backup, since which I've kept an eye on surfaceflinger, and had no reboots.

Must say I'm surprised, and am left wondering whether my reboots were mostly a Franco problem or not. Once again, one cannot keep too many notes about what one actually does when faultfinding. Memory fades invariably, and I'm afraid my notes were not good enough to know when the Reboots began, on Stock, pre-Root, pre-Franco, or what :(

The Nexus Reboot Fiasco Continues

My previous post was about Nexus 10 reboots, but I should mention that the Nexus 7 is prone to these  too. My latest experience of this happened when I pulled the recharge cable from my N7.. happily the N7 is far more stable than the N10, though they have been virtually identical from a software point of view. Both were running the Franco until a couple of days ago when I restored them to the #1 backup taken with the Franco Updater, so both are basically 'Stock 4.2.2 + Root'

The following is a post I made in the Phandroid forums:

Nexus 10 Reboot in Safe Mode

---

I've been following as many threads as possible about Nexus 10 reboots, and an odd thing just occurred.. I came across Safe Mode earlier today, and was surfing around on the N10 (in Safe Mode) looking for SM threads.

I came across a thread on the Nexus7Nexus10 forum at Safe mode and blow me down, when I should scroll down the page my N10 froze and rebooted!

LOL

The only odd thing about the page is some flashing forum indicator which you may see for yourselves.

I am rooted on JB 4.2.2

Really must update my signature to include GS2, SG Nexus, Nexus 7 & 10

It was a laughable coincidence really, as I wasn't aware of Safe Mode until that morning. For those who are equally ignorant, it boots up with just the Google apps present. I had done a search and found  the URL hidden behind 'Safe Mode' in the post above, and as soon as I arrived on the thread and went to scroll down the page, it froze and then rebooted! Unbelievable... :)

From the lack of reboot reports while in Safe Mode I would believe this fact to be of interest to Google, particularly if it occurs again.

Nexus 10 Reboots

Many people on XDA have been experiencing odd problems with the Nexus 10, such as reboots and freezes. I have been suffering with the former only, and faultfinding a problem which occurs randomly 2 or 3 times a day is known to be difficult.

I started 3 days ago by stopping all kinds of syncing, and slowing down monitor events quite a bit. Since then I have seen no reboots :) Of course, as soon as I post this, one is likely to occur, but I was getting them fairly regularly..

Today I felt it was time for the next stage. Which of the sync events was most likely to cause trouble? Well those which happen most frequently are Google+ and GMail, so they could be a good place to start. First though I had to find where on earth auto sync is enabled. This turned out to be hidden in Data usage, click on the 3 dots and there it is :)

So, my first step was to enable auto sync and thats all for now. I have not enabled sync on any of the apps, though I believe Jottacloud has been doing its thing all along. That will do for a few hours before enabling sync on GMail and G+.

Four days without an unwanted reboot

I put apps back on the 32 GB Sandisk sdcard on 21st December and its now after lunch on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas to any one reading this.

There have been no reboots, so its looking pretty clear that formatting the card on the device has fixed the fairly frequent reboots earlier.
