random reboots - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the titles says having a lot of random reboots. It happens in any situations like on charge, off charge playing games, downloading apps , using apps like reddit twitter XDA etc. And I have not got a clue why its happening. I've tried loads of ROMs and even went back to stock but it still happens.

Force Close Issues

It seems like that the majority of the time when my phone force closes that it will always end up rebooting on its own. I rarely, if at all get a dialogue box.
The problem startet mainly on the stock browser where daily, it would freeze up, virbate once and then twice. Stay frozen for a while longer, and then virbate pattern again and then the screen goes blank. After 2 minutes or so of black screen, the lock screen shows up and it appears that the phone did a soft reboot of sorts.
In smaller cases, the Gallery did this several times ad did a game and an app.
Yes, I've switched browsers and found a gallery replacement and, they've been stable but I don't want to live with the fear of 5 minute lockups and reboots. Switching browsers and gallery is juwta band aid...I want a solution to this entire problem.
To me is sounds like a buggy rom of 2.2.1.
Anyone else encounter this? Any solutions beyond exchanging it or gasp, getting a lessor phone?

Stock browser quits suddenly.

It happens while browsing. It just shuts down to the Launcher. Actually i can't normally use it because of this.
What can be the problem?
I think the problem disappears only when i turn off Javascript, but without it some pages won't load.
i have same problem, its annoying cause when you open the browser after it closes its lost the page you were on, not sure what the problem is though
i had that problem too, downloaded dolpin brower hd and the problem is over
Only times that happends to me is pages with lots of animation. And flash videos crashing the browser i just uninstalled flash and installed an 10.1 flash apk. Maybe helps quick reply. Cheers
I noticed that flash version over 10.1 does not play videos only resulted in green screen error. Im running opera browser and works 10 fold better. Might be related i dunno.

I had this problem on a previous version, I just deleted/copied it from the system/app folder and reinstalled it and it seemed to work fine.
I think it can be also related with ad blockers. When turned off it seem to stop.
I used adaway, and adfree, but it seem that they can cause some problems.
Nope, still had a sudden shut down. 2-3 tabs open while browsing quite a big website results in sudden shut down of a browser,.and tabs disappear.
So there is no other way than set the dolphin as a default.

Nexus 5 dead?

Forenote, my N5 was running PSX v2 and Franco Kernel r13 flawlessly for weeks when this ramdomly happened.
Used my phone today just as I have for weeks on end with little to no issue until around 8 or 9 hours into my day the phone started to lag very badly. Redraws, stutter, unresponsiveness, you name it. I was surprised as this phone usually flies! So I cleared my recent apps and that seemed to help slightly, but it still was very slow. I used cache cleaner's built in ram cleaner to stop all running processes (which I never do) and it seemed like the issue was fixed. The system UI and launcher redrew and I was good to go.
Until I started to play some music in Play Music, a pop up constantly popped up that YouTube has stopped working. I didn't even use YouTube today! I tried to then open the YouTube app and it wouldn't open whatsoever. No animation no execution, just a dialog box reading, "Unfortunately, YouTube has stopped working." I went into app settings and cleared cache/data/and force stopped and the app still was misbehaving. I reinstalled the app via the play store and it still wouldn't open. The dialog box wouldn't stop popping up this whole time mind you.
I was thinking what the hell is wrong with my phone today!? Maybe a reboot would fix things. I tried rebooting and my phone got stuck at boot animation. I force shut off and rebooted into recovery, formatted cache and dalvik cache and rebooted. This time the boot animation actually froze.. I was like what the f***! I let it sit for a few minutes to see if anything would happen without any luck.
I force shut off again and now the phone won't even turn on. Not into bootloader, not normally, the thing won't even charge! So here I am with a dead phone and a $450 paperweight. I'm just so lost I have no idea what could've caused this really unusual sequence of events.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
A bad phone. Rma it
Was the phone hot when the weird things happened?

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary temperature wise.. Although my phone has overheated and shut off before that was maybe 2-3 weeks ago..

Heat problems cause performance issues

Did the OTA update for 5.0 lollipop yesterday. all the issues with the factory image flash have dissapeard. It all work great now, except one thing:
When my phone gets warm, the performance really goes down, except for some games. Animations get choppy etc. Remember , I said warm, not hot, and it occurred to me from just browsing facebook or chatting.
Any one ran into this problem aswell?
no one with the same problem? my friend seems to share the exact same issue
Kindda had the same issue after adb sideloading the OTA update to my N5. It was easily getting warm which caused constant lagging. Therefore it was closing my music player app while i was listening to music and surfing the web or FB, couldn't handle several apps at the same time and Google search app kept crashing from time to time. So i just went to the recovery mode and wiped cash. It took about 10 - 15 minutes, but when i turned the phone again everything worked fine. No lagging, no crashing. Everything is flying now, it's fast and smooth as never before. I don't now if it helps you, but i think you should give it a shot.
Define "warm".

Weird sound/song plays randomly

Hey guys! For the past few weeks, there's a random clip of a song that will play on my phone, almost as if I have a notification. But, there won't be anything in the notification bar. Sometimes, I don't even have any apps open when this happens. The "song" sounds like something from an Indiana Jones movie. It's maybe about 10 seconds long, give or take. I've tried uninstalling apps that I've downloaded right before this started happening, but it still happens. I've also tried installing an anti-virus (AVG, Malwarebytes), as well as a notification logger (nothing out of the ordinary) and an app that forces a refresh similar to a restart (Fast Reboot). It's driving me up a wall, but resetting my phone to factory conditions is a lot of work, so I thought I would turn to you guys to see if anybody else has a similar thing happening to them. For what it's worth, I'm running the latest Android OS on the Pixel 2 XL. Thanks guys!
