I keep hearing about this unfixed Nexus S reboot bug. I'm curious... is it really so widespread? Or is it only something a few people experience, like the luck of the draw?
I apologize if this question has been asked before. I'm considering buying the phone but can't decide if I should wait.
It always seems to pop up in the forums but it has never happened to me. I've had mine for almost a month now and it all seems to be perfect. No defects with screens or buttons or reboots. Maybe im just lucky...or people with complaints are just louder than ones who are satisfied.
The issue is real and Google have confirmed it. They've been working on a fix and the official word was an OTA update was going to be released this week:
Just a heads up that our initial tests look good and that we are expecting to send out an OTA within one to two weeks that will resolve the issue. Thanks for your continued patience!

Argh. I did not have this problem until yesterday (had the phone since January). Now my phone will reboot right after a call.

I've had three Nexus S so far. The first one I picked up on dec 16th and didn't get a single reboot on - but the oleophobic coating on the screen was coming off in spots so I swapped it for another unit.
The second unit had issues rebooting. I saw it immediately - it rebooted while sitting on my desk. I could constantly recreate this by streaming audio over BT in my car - every 10-15 minutes it would reboot.
I picked up a mt4g for a few weeks to see if they could sort whether this was a hardware of sw issue (that thing is a brick to hold) and eventually picked up a third Nexus S once they identified it as a SW issue. This device has not rebooted a single time in the 27 days I've had it. I can stream audio and make long calls without an issue.
All three devices have operated with identical configurations. Based on this I'd say that some units are worse than others.
Maybe it's issue with the hardware tolerances and some hardware that falls within the accepted tolerance is not operating as expected and causing kernel panics as a result. This would explain why some have this issue constantly and others rarely or never see it. Perhaps it's something seemingly unrelated that everyone experiencing the reboots has in common. It would be nice if Google weren't so tight lipped about this. Supposedly the OTA will address these issues and moving forward it should be irrelevant.
I get this issue at least 60% of my calls (not that i call much). i have made 4 calls today, and 3 of them my phone rebooted during the proccess.
I am returning this to CW tommorrow for a replacment unit, i love the phone dearly but do not want to be robbed for £429 but not being able to take it back if they do not resolve.
It could be a batch issue, or something i guess, but that's not my job to find that out, that's for the people i paid for the hardware/software
I hope i get another unit, and if not problem free at least i can rely on a warranty, hopefully making sure if google slack on fixing this i can get my money back.
If it fixes soon or the new handsets ok, i can keep this lil beauty of a phone
I've had my SNS since launch. My phones has rebooted on me twice. It was right after playing a 3D game. Right after i exited the game the phone rebooted. Funny though, it hasn't happened again.
I've gone back to using my Desire until Google sort this out. For me, any call above 5 minutes has a 50% chance of rebooting the handset.
The handset (running stock 2.3.2 and un-rooted) will on occasion spontaneously reboot as well. Not good.
It is a bug that seems to be very limited in scope but is very serious for those affected. Personally, I've never had it happen to me or my wife.
Thank you for your replies, they were very helpful. I was keeping up with the OTA Bugfix promised by Google for the Nexus S. Although, that was promised almost 3 weeks ago and still no word from Google since. That's one of the reasons why I came here to ask for advice before I bought the phone. Although I'm curious to see if 2.3.3 resolved the issue. I know the 2.3.3 just lists API changed, but I wouldn't expect them to list bugfixes on a list of API changes.
I think I'm ready to buy the phone and hope for the best. I'll probably just get Best Buy insurance just to be safe.

Getting the insurance is definitely the right choice. I hope you enjoy your phone and your stay here!
I get periodic reboots on both my phones.
It is not that noticeable, since it often happens when I am not using the phone and unless I glance at it and see the start animation, I may be unaware of it.
But it has happened during a call as well (couple of times on each phone) and then it is definitely noticeable.
I have this bug... not during phone calls but random reboots. 2-3 a day. I hate it but its tolerable.
Weird, I don't have this bug
If flashing a custom rom, the problem will be solved? Since i am considering if i should get Nexus s later on.
Thanks
Hi Everyone. As the title states are the failure rates on google devices crazy high? I originally got a google pixel XL 1 for free after the battery issues the original Nexus 6P was having. I've had to deal with constant device replacement every since. I've had to replace it 3 times in a very short period for internal speaker thats used for phone calls failed (i could hear people's voice but they couldn't hear mine). Now last night i go unlock my phone and i see the following error message on the lock screen
"fingerprint hardware not available"
so i reboot the phone and the fingerprint settings even disappears from the settings menu. I call google support and they come to the conclusion its hardware failure.
I don't abuse my devices at all and if you look at my current pixel there isn't a scratch on it. This fall it looks like i will need a new device (i'm using an old device i had laying around the house for now). I much prefer android but if i can't get a google experience device then i will got back to IOS (i want updates). Samsung have beautiful hardware but i want updates. So i would like to get maybe a pixel 2 xl (if i get great price on one) or a pixel 3 xl this fall but of course i don't want to deal with these hardware failures anymore. Any advice would be appreciated.
We have no idea if the Pixel 3 will have any major issues. No point in worrying about that before the phone has even been released.
The hardware failure issues with your Nexus 6P and Pixel XL are unrelated. It doesn't mean Google phones have a high failure rate. The 6P was known to have battery issues but going through several RMAs fir the Pixel XL could just be bad luck.
From what I've seen the most common issues with the Pixel 2/XL have been less severe than with the Nexus 5x and 6P. The Pixel 2 XL seems to have had more issues than the Pixel 2 but even those are pretty minor compared to the 5x bootloop and 6P bootloop and battery problems.

Yes, Google devices have had a long history of issues:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/time-nexus-pixel-device-didnt-major-bug-t3578515
That being said, the Pixel 2 and 2 XL appear to finally breaking that trend.
The latest Pixels are headed in the right direction...
I got the Honor play about 2 weeks ago, returned it on Saturday just gone.
Was an OK phone with a few issues, till I came use pop my sim card in, then the auto dim in most apps that CAN NOT be disabled short of ADB' deleting the app started driving me mad, I returned it
Looking at the 7 plus, Argos has it at £200
Any common issues or problems ?
Usb c failing in almost all units after a couple of months.

Mine is working without any hardware problems since oktober 2018.
Most people have no problems, but some do have problems and they tend to react more then persons who are happy.

Couldn't agree more,
A guy who bought the phone 6 month ago tell you that he has no problem with the port and people overreact, LOL. Yes, 6 month ago of a phone that is supposed to last 2 years.
You just have to wait my friend, i was feeling lucky when i was reading the people complaining, maybe is some batch, or something, i thought... Just wait and then come back to here.
To the OP, you can go to Nokia forum and check the number of view of the "usb c port failure" and take your own conclusions. There is people that have problems with screen and touch.
Apart from this 2 things the phone is quiet good!

That you don't have problem with the port doesn't mean that is not a common problem with a lot of user facing issues. In general i think is a matter of time, maybe a little bit of luck also. The usb c is designed to last 5000 plug and un-plug at least. If a lot of people have problems with that, it means the design or quality control is not good. It doesn't imply you are going to have a problem with that, maybe yours work perfect and last 5000 plug and un-plug. It is a matter of number of people having this problem. I have godix screen to and is working perfect.

I have the phone for a year also. No problems whatsoever.
Great phone. As someone already said, unhappy people are the one reacting more than the others. £200 is a great price for processor sd660, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage and fhd and Android one.
Nokia forum is populated mostly by india/Asia users, so I can talk about that part of the world.
It is a nice phone though (only a bit too big).
Have had the Nokia 7+ since it came out in UK (TA-1055) Feb 2018 and no problems at all Brilliant phone for the money.

Hi,
bought the phone in july 2018. I love it, fast, snappy, consistent updates, long battery, nice camera and so on, overall nice experience.
BUT : Failing usb C for a month now and a strange looking yellowish stain on the top left of the display. The problem is I am living in another country at the moment and giving the phone back for a replacement/repair is a pain in the a**. Nevertheless, even though I have these problems I will still buy the same one if I had to take the decision now, just because of the small possibillity that this does not happen again. I am travelling at the very moment and imagine what a nightmare it is to keep a phone charged when the port is working only in one position with something heavy on top of it everytime so it enables fast charge otherwise it charges with 60 mA instead of 1500+mA... Consider the risk and I wish you good luck with your purchase, hopefully you make the right decision.
Has anyone had the screen flash and updated to dp2 and then it was gone? I'm on the April update and the phone just went nuts. Had to turn it off let it flash for like 10 min then it went away for now. Oops it just came back. Unusable
edit: After a night's rest it seems back to normal. What happened was I was minding my own business, reading some forums, news, etc. before bed. Swiped left and I saw a flash. Hmm.. interesting, right? Then all of a sudden the bottom of the screen started flashing and then the whole phone. And I mean multiple flashes / second and very bright. I even saw the light when I closed my eyes later it was that bright and steady. So I turned off AOD, no help. Rebooted, no help. Turned the phone off for a few minutes and it came right back on restart. Put the phone on my night table face down and watched the light show for a while illuminating the room from out the sides of the phone. Then it stopped. Woke up and it seems to be gone at least for a while. I'll call G for a replacement this morning but seriously! This device is simply flawed. Obviously April update did nothing corrective for this phone. I wonder what happened with the displays on these phones since the XL doesn't have this issue. I might just see if they'll comp me an XL upgrade even though it's really too large for my tastes. Anyway, that's my story for the day.
I'm curious, as asked above, if anyone with a similar situation has joined Q beta and the issue is resolved. It's hard to determine I get that due to the intermittent nature of the flaw but I would install DP2 if it indeed fixed it. TIA
I’ve got the exact same problem/question....

I installed Q and it did nothing. Still went buggy so I returned the device. Bought a new one which has been ok for about 4 days so far. I'm not holding out much hope since many have experienced the flashing a few days after the return window closes, I think it's 15 days. The only solution so far is to either get an XL with a different display or an iPhone XS for $1000. Google is not acknowledging the design flaw as of yet.

Just ordered this phone on a new contract, wondering if i've made a big mistake. This screen flashing saga seems quite widespread ?

It is widespread but not guaranteed to flash. My wife has one bought in November and not once did it flash. I'm on my 4th new one now. The problem now is that it doesn't happen right away so you're kind of behind the 8 ball. When it does happen it's usually after about 3 weeks at which point there is nothing you can do about it other than get a refurb replacement that someone else has sent back due to flashing. I really don't know what I would do if I had to pay full price. Just curious, what did you pay on a new contract? If this one starts flashing after my return window I'm trading it in or getting a refurb and selling it unopened. If I can get $500 I'd splurge for the extra 5 and get an XS. The 3XL is just too big for me as is the XR. I want something 5.8 or smaller. I mean it's a great device if it just didn't flash. The fact that it flashes in safe mode and through the entire reboot pretty much says this is not a software bug but hardware. Read it and weep... https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119210591

£20 upfront cost for the phone then £26 a month on a 2 year contract. After reading multiple stories regarding the flashing issue, seems the majority of users are having problems after AOD is turned on. That link leads to depressing reading ?

Pretty much the current US prices, not bad. Yes, AOD caused it initially but as I said, my wife has had it on since day one and never a flash. Turning off AOD or perhaps never turning it on might help but that is really not the issue. Why can't you turn it on without a blinding flash searing your eyeballs? I like having it on, flip the phone over to disable it and not much extra battery use. I wish you luck on yours. As I said the phone is great, quick, good size, decent battery life and great camera. The google issue tracker is indeed depressing to read but those are the facts on the ground. I think at some point they will have to address the issue and perhaps we will get a great trade in for the Pixel 4. We shall see.
The pixel 3 xl is now on sale. Might be time to pull the trigger on it if you can. No flashing on that device. 200 off retail.

Pixel xl is too big for my liking, but thanks for the thought. Mine should be with me tomorrow, so i'll turn AOD on and see if it causes any issues, if does, it's going straight back and the contract cancelled, i have 30 days to do this. Or.........save causing me any headaches, send it straight back, cancel the contract and go for something else.... Galaxy S10e ??

I have Google Fi on one of my lines and they have a 1/2 price sale today only on all Pixel 3s. So I went over to Best Buy to check out the size of the 3XL and it's not horrible. A little too big for my preference but it doesn't flash and I won't have to return it. So I'm on the fence right about now. The price for the 3XL 64GB is $449 if you have Fi. That is a ridiculous price but alas, they're out of stock across the board so I'm back to hoping this doesn't start flashing. 30 day return window is amazing. I think you'll know by then.

The screen flash issue was fixed in latest monthly security update (android P) so the change will probably be merged right now in android Q.

The screen flash issue was not fixed in the April update as noted above. Perhaps for some with minor display disturbances it was but for a large part of those with hardware defective devices it was not.

Nah it's ok. You just talked me off the ledge because seeing an XL for $449 was tempting. Then my wife asked, are you going to be happy with that large device? That was it. I removed it from my cart and they sold out shortly afterwards. Day 5 and no flashing yet.
Well guys, my Pixel 3 arrived this morning, and 5 updates later aswell as phone restarts, i was able to actually spend a bit of time navigating different features and finish setting it up. I decided to set it up from new instead of data transferring from my Sony. All good so far. Anybody got any advice on Pixel Pulse, apparently this replicates led notifications ?
Yeah, the XL is quite large. I like the size of blueline, fits in the hand comfortably. It is strange how this screen flash issue is going. Given the number of people reporting it vs the number of devices out there is seems like it might have been a bad batch of devices somewhere. I wonder what else could be causing it other than some devices with faulty hardware. Wonder if it would help if people with the issue started posting their serial number.
@decker39 I used to work at a Staffordshire University collaborative program here in China. Ten years working with that program.
This seems to be the later batch. My wife has and I had a Verizon original bought in November. I never had a flash and neither does she. I traded mine in because I couldn't use the esim on vzw. The Google new ones flashed. Let's see with the one I have now. I think it might flash but I'm trying to think positive. What would the serial number show?
So, WHats up guys?
Finally jumped back on the Pixel train and got my 7 Pro last night. After all the fun updates i noticed that when i make a call now, there is a strange opening of a call with a tiny bit of static and then it goes to normal. Anyone else experience this? It doesn't hinder the call in any way, i just found it strange.
PSA
Absolutely loving the phone. Near 24hr after a charge with 24% left but i forgot to check SOT but im sure it was close to 6hrs which is good for me.
I did see one other post that was similar to this. I've never had that issue, and iirc nobody who replied to that post did either.

Hi Avid_droid.
Yes, you are not alone in this regard.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but my wife threw my cell phone from the table (half a meter more or less), and since then the following happens to me:
I make a call and I hear some interferences, something like "Clack clack", sometimes there are many, sometimes only 1 ... sometimes none ... it's very strange.
However, I think it has nothing to do with the drop... maybe it used to happen to me before and I didn't notice.
Sometimes I can go days without hearing that interference, and I think that everything is fine, but I hear it again. I have restored the phone several times and that does not solve anything.
Fortunately, it's not something that prevents me from making calls or using the phone normally, but when you spend a lot of money on a phone you get screwed by these things.
The bad thing about this is that I have read that if you talk to Google they will send you a refurbished phone, plus you will be 1 week or more with nothing.... I think I'll live with this problem (if it doesn't get worse).

Yeah it doesn't interfere with call or quality it's just odd right? It wasn't there yesterday and today it returned. I think maybe software issue cause I didn't experience it prior to updating.

Yes, it's not the end of the world, but I have to say I'm very disappointed with the overall call quality.
I have an old Huawei mate 20 that has much better call quality than the Pixel, .. and it's a 2018 phone!
Resignation.
Finally, and after a few days in which the problem was more frequent, I have decided to use the google warranty and return it for repair. I've upgraded to an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and I guess I'll sell the Pixel 7 Pro if it comes back repaired correctly.

From what I have read, it is ultimately a hardware failure and the only option is replacement.

I replaced my device the other day and best thing I did. No issues as of late.
I have to wait for my cell phone to arrive in POLAND (from Spain) and wait for it to come back... ****ing disgusting.

Hi Avid_droid.
Yes, you are not alone in this regard.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but my wife threw my cell phone from the table (half a meter more or less), and since then the following happens to me:
I make a call and I hear some interferences, something like "Clack clack", sometimes there are many, sometimes only 1 ... sometimes none ... it's very strange.
However, I think it has nothing to do with the drop... maybe it used to happen to me before and I didn't notice.
Sometimes I can go days without hearing that interference, and I think that everything is fine, but I hear it again. I have restored the phone several times and that does not solve anything.
Fortunately, it's not something that prevents me from making calls or using the phone normally, but when you spend a lot of money on a phone you get screwed by these things.
The bad thing about this is that I have read that if you talk to Google they will send you a refurbished phone, plus you will be 1 week or more with nothing.... I think I'll live with this problem (if it doesn't get worse).

Exactly the same sound occurs to me sometimes just occasionally to remind me that it exists

So, WHats up guys?
Finally jumped back on the Pixel train and got my 7 Pro last night. After all the fun updates i noticed that when i make a call now, there is a strange opening of a call with a tiny bit of static and then it goes to normal. Anyone else experience this? It doesn't hinder the call in any way, i just found it strange.
PSA
Absolutely loving the phone. Near 24hr after a charge with 24% left but i forgot to check SOT but im sure it was close to 6hrs which is good for me.

Yes, mine does this as well. I've noticed it but not paid attention to it til i read this yesterday. I thought it was my Pixel Buds Pro (Which take FOREVER to connect when I take one out of the case to answer a call) - but today I'll try to use the phone itself to answer calls and see if it's still there

Sorry.. I think you are right about this.
I actually think the Pixel 7 Pro looks like a better phone to me than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but I bought one for a bit of a change of scenery.
I really regret it, I will surely return the iPhone 14 Pro Max if the Pixel 7 arrives repaired. I hope so.
After several days in RMA, Google has sent me an email telling me that the phone had an AUDIO problem and that it will be repaired.
Which seems strange to me because the audio in multimedia applications was perfect.... But well, when I have the phone in my hands I will tell you.
Well, the phone has arrived home. So far so good, although I have not tested it too much.
I will keep you informed.
EDIT :
After several calls, the problem continues. I'm throwing in the towel, I'm not going to go another week without a phone. As a bonus, I also have some dirt on the lenses, which I didn't have before.
I'll put up with this interference and strange noises on every call until I send the phone to hell in a few years.

May be a hardware issue. That's what it seemed like with mine. There is no static any more but the small pop is still there. Pop on my Buds Pro and issue is resolved. Now the watch is another piece of bad judgement. I'm on my second one and thank the creator they gave it to me for free. $349 for a watch that sounds like it has a badly blown speaker is hardly worth it. It does what I need it to do though, time and messages.

Latest news, Google is sending me a new terminal.
The truth is that I'm starting to be unconvinced about the purchase, and it is likely that I will end up buying an s23 ultra or similar.

For me now, there is nothing to complain of about the phone. I like mine. My wife has the 23U and I don't like it. It's slows way down and feels like a 60hz phone. Also with the load speeds, I don't like Sammy. I walk around all day withy Pixel 7 Pro and my 13 Pro Max everyday. Didnt like the esim thing either.
