Anyone have a Nexus S that's still restarting on it's own?

After the 2.3.2 update, I thought everything was fine. Guess not.

Phone restarted in the middle of a phone call. What the dilly yo

I manually updated to 2.3.2, but never did faced your problem.

I heard some did but before 2.3.2, as I think it shouldve been resolved by it.

Backup and softreset and see, recovery or so.

This is discussed in other threads already...

The 2.3.2 update does not address the random reboots, or the reboots during calls. Google is still working on a fix for that specific problem.

The problem seems to be really random overall...some people have it frequently, others not all, some rarely. I've only had it twice, and both times only while on 2.3.1.

If you search the forum here, you'll find a thread or two with links to the Google Help Forum topic where romainguy from Google talks about the problem.

EDIT: Apparently they've found the fix, according to this post: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=1b777a366748b64f&start=194

Expect an OTA in a couple of weeks.

i had it only twice

but that was because i was overloading the poor thing, with trying to do too many things simultaneously

and when it can't cope with how fast i click around stuff, and how many apps i launch and use all at the same time, it just reboots

it's not hard to reproduce

just go like a maniac and start launching apps left and right, and pull up info, make a call, send SMS, browse the web, download stuff, etc, etc

and it'll reboot as soon as it hangs

it's like a SUPER Force Close :p :D

LOL!

I'm pretty sure my two reboots weren't under such extreme circumstances...phone just sitting idle for a while, got a phone call, call reboots 5-15 minutes into the middle of the call.

Even so, your experience makes me wonder if just tweaking the memory management on the phone with something like AutoKiller app might help those who are having the issue more often than others. (Note that autokiller is NOT a task killer, it's poorly named. It's a way to tweak the minfree settings on the phone and let the Android built-in system still handle what's killed or not.)

ok... if that's the case, no, i've yet to see the phone reboot on its own

i've had some 30ish min calls and no reboot

P.S. this issue is covered in another topic tagged as [BUG] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880497

please continue on the original topic, thx
