random reboots and shutdowns - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

Anyone seeing this behavior? Multiple shutdowns in a day, sometimes more than one per hour. First happened on 11 so I flashed 10. Tried unrooting. But it's still happening. Really disappointed, I really wanted to love this phone.

I am sorry you may have a bad phone but I havent had one reboot or shutdown t all.

No such behavior here and no wide spread reports of spontaneous reboots. Likely a defective unit. Happens.

None here either, 10, or 11, or 11 rooted.

I had a couple random reboots, I only experienced them after I switched to Dirty Unicorns. It randomly switched to to the boot animation a couple times one day but I haven't had this issues today yet or been able to duplicate it.

Are you using an adblocker?

I had been using AdAway but unrooted so it was disabled. The shutdowns continued. Happened with different battery levels but maybe more below the 60% level. I returned it but want to buy again. Just a bit leery now, especially after hearing of similar problems with earlier Pixel models.

Here's a support thread with some others experiencing this.

I got another one and haven't had the same issue.

Constant Reboots and Glitches Making Me Crazy!!!!

I am loving this phone, but these issues are killing me! Anyone else thinking of keeping this thing until the Sensation comes out, and then swapping it out? I bought my G2X on May 8th, so I am hoping to refund and get the Sensation as long as that's the release date. LG really needs to fix this or I think a lot of us will be kicking this thing to the curb.
have you not yet heard that a patch is on the way? I'm thinging no...

I'm not too sure about that. I literally just called LG Electronics after I posted this thread and they told me that this is not a "known issue" with this device. OMG really??? I asked the Rep to Google it herself, and she will see 1000's of complaints from consumers, she told me LG doesn't pay attention to blogs???? So how is a patch coming if they are denying there is even an issue? Call for yourself 800-243-0000. They kept telling me that I must have dropped it or submersed it in liquid. TERRIBLE customer service!!! I most likely will be returning this thing today. I am a man with a sour taste in my mouth now.
Exchange it until u get the sensation, this is my 3rd phone with the same problem.

the fix is coming. every phone launches with bugs. don't believe it? return your phone.
didn't you really need to start 2 threads about this?
Flash CM7. No reboots at all.
I didn't have reboots running stock 2.2 but try CM7. If you still have reboots on a rom that is not based on LG's build, then you have a faulty phone. If CM7 fixes your reboots, then you know it is just buggy software.

+1...logic. I am ashamed that didn't cross my mind.
I haven't had problems (aside from one reboot two weeks ago) so, the problem isn't universal. I would trade it in until I got a stable one...IDK.
Just something that i have observed in the past few days... I have recently come back to toledo ohio from phoenix arizona... the major difference between these two places is that in tempe specifically, I had 4g nonstop and everywhere i went whether it was way out in gilbert, north phoenix or out in goodyear, however back home here, I live on the outer fringes of sylvania and my signal is horrible and it was the same crap on my nexus one... I am happy with 2g but typically it is GPRS or just no signal at all, thank god for wifi-calling!
Ok so back in AZ, I never had any reboot problems or battery pulls after charging... I bought the phone on the 20th of april and I think i had 1 reboot and 1 battery pool within the first 24 hours of having the phone, no big in my opinion... Since I have been back wednesday night i have had 4 random reboots and just this morning I had to pull my battery. Strange thing was when i put it back in the battery was at 89%... my battery monitor says it was fully charged then there was a sudden drop, so i charged it back up again....
I am wondering if my changed cell signal and strength has caused these issues... if you are having reboot problems what is your cell signal like on a consistent basis?
I have been running on EB1.0.2 since I has been out
I just posted how to fix the reboot problems. Tested!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13770645&postcount=13
That would be a good test. Someone having reboot problems to put the phone in 2G only and give it a few days.
I travel for work and never had any problems outside of using the leaked Gingerbread build. I suspect the Kernel is the issue and something in the software is causing the reboots. Since the leaked gingerbread didn't come with a kernel, it only worsened the problem.
Anyway, give my method a shot and see if the problems still exist.

Nice! Will give it a try now. Thanks!
Even with CM7 I was getting the constant reboots and freezes on two different phones, both of which have been returned.
I tried to like the phone as hard as I could - but those problems were a definite deal breaker.
If they can get them resolved, I may go the G2x route again but I fear the problem is more due to lack of quality control than just a software glitch.
Straight from the LG Forum Site:

First time i saw LG's official statment was on 19 of April.. Sooo ANYONE got the "FIX" yet?
"LG is aware that certain Optimus 2X customers are occasionally experiencing random device shut-offs. The Nordics have been one of the first markets to sell Optimus 2X and we have sold a substantial amount of units. The return percentage is low and within the error marginal, so this issue only affect a limited number of customer. However, LG regrets the inconvenience this has caused.
We have determined the cause of the problem and have developed a software update to remedy this. The update is currently being rolled out in partnership with carriers. Dates of update availability will be determined by individual carriers. LG is committed to providing quality devices and is working hard to ensure that users have a consistent and convenient smartphone experience. Again, our apologies for the inconvenience."

I can't speak for the Optimus 2x since it's an international release and I only deal with the US phones released in the states.... But the G2x update should be just around the corner, from what I have heard.

My first G2x had no reboot problems, no battery problems, etc. Only issue was bad backlight bleed. Exchanged and 2nd phone had almost zero backlight bleed, but gets warm pretty quick compared to the first one, self reboots at least twice a day, bluetooth to my car now only works sporadically, wifi disconnects itself after screen shuts off, etc.
Third phone sent was the worst of the three. I'm keeping the 2nd one a day before my remorse period is up and doing a full refund which is 5/29. Waiting to see what Sammy will announce on 5/24 as far any US release announcements.
I've had zero reboots on mine, still on stock froyo but rooted and bloatware frozen. I've only had two freezes since I've got it but it was usually right after I installed some app and had it running along with a bunch of other ones. But the thing is I'm constantly killing tasks. After coming from Nokia N900 and symbian N8 seeing android constantly leaving tasks open with no exit option on every app drives me nuts.

My phone has stopped rebooting ever since I've disabled the GPS. It used to reboot randomly, however ever since I've disabled the GPS I have no issues. It is a software problem it will be fixed with software update. Give it a try-hopefully it will help you as well
This is my 3rd phone and they all reboot or freeze with gps, wifi disabled.

Picked up my 3rd G2x yesterday - immediately flashed to Bionix, had no troubles... until...
I plugged it in to charge overnight.
I woke up this morning and it was hard frozen, hard to pull the battery.
Ok guys - I'm at a breaking point here. I've tried every ROM available. I've tried the phones with and without any 3rd party software being installed. I've tried them all without GPS, bluetooth or WIFI turned on...
I guess LG doesn't want us doing a simple task like .... charging the battery. And yes, I was charging using the OEM charger. And when I woke up and found it locked up the battery was not warm.
I picked up this 3rd G2x out of sheer impatience for the Sensation but it looks like this one is going back too. I simply can't take this anymore.

Must be nice
I agree, when I bought the phone the t mobile Rep told me GPS would freeze it until its updated. Although I've had one black screen freeze and one reboot on the charger, but if you think about the o2x, having LG state that it has a problem unlocking from the button (freeze where you must take battery out), reboots on charger... means they must be able to fix this as well. Not too worried, especially when they told me that when I bought it. Mine did freeze without GPS on though

All I can say is ughhh

I really wanted to love this phone,I loved how it looked, read all the reviews and then.. I did the initial set up downloading all my apps,it froze multiple times, had to reboot,apps keep crashing,the app drawer keeps disappearing and then showing back up..and the LAG, where do I start? My spare back up a ZTE ZMAX runs better than this phone. I factory reset and still the same issue ! The screen freezes at random times throughout the day. After a week with it,I'm done! I just purchased a Asus Zenfone 2, which was my other choice,hopefully I'll have better luck. I don't know if I got a dud,or if other people have had better experiences but for me I can't keep a phone that I have to restart multiple times a day just to use and then even then still runs slowwwww.....

You should try exchanging it for a new one first. Sounds like you just got a bad unit. I have very few issues with my unit. I would try a new one and if that doesn't work out then get the ZF2.

Same sentiments here - it does look like you were unlucky and got a bad unit. I am not going to say this is the best phone money can buy - but after more than two weeks of usage - I have not had any of the symptoms you are describing. App loading for me has certainly been slow - but that is pretty much the only performance problem I have had. No freezing or crashing - at all. And for the past week, the double tap issues has disappeared as well.
One thing - if you experienced freezing when updating all the apps during initial setup - that is a common problem I have faced with other devices and ROMs as well - and can be fixed by clearing cache and data on Play Services - and other Google apps.
I can't say i've had any issues with this phone other than the double tap to wake not working at random times. I paid $200 on preorder so i can't complain for the price. After coming from a GalaXY SII, this phone is great. Now I only wish someone would figure out how to root it. That and I wish Alcatel would update it to 5.1 but i'm not holding my breath for that one.
I agree. I have tried to enjoy the phone mainly because of the awesome speakers. But mine freezes and lags too bad to continue. It takes apps 5-10 seconds to load every time. I am done.
Which apps? I just tested 12 random apps and while it is on the slow side, on average I'm getting about 3.5 seconds to open an app. Slacker radio was the longest at almost six seconds but it took at least that long on my HTC one m7. Also at what points does the phone freeze? Have you tried a factory reset? I haven't had a single freeze on mine, as others suggested maybe you got a bad one.
No freezes here.
Apps load a little slow but never more than a couple of seconds.
hopefully when sources are released, things will improve.
I didn't have any of those issues. Just return it to Amazon and get a new one, their customer care is excellent.
same issue
I've the exact same issue as you experienced : app diseapearing, lock screen disapearing, app crash...
How did you solved this ?
Thks a lot

What Custom ROM that fixes Microphone Issue?

As we all know Pixels have this dreaded microphone issue. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. If you restart the phone, it temporary fix the problem and after few minutes/hours my mic doesn't respond again. I tried to flash different official rom released from https://developers.google.com/android/images but the issue is still there. I believe it's software issue because the hardware works. I'm now looking to root my phone and flash a custom rom, maybe they fixed the issue in their end.
I installed Sound Meter and Mic Tester to check once in while (you should too) if my mic is working. When I found that the mic don't respond the way it should, that's the time I restart my phone.
* Flashed different versions of: Nougat, Oreo, P (preview) ... but the issue is still there.
Can we list the Custom ROMs that fixes this annoying problem (is there any)?

No, I would just lose microphone functionality for a minute at a time, sometimes longer. It happened in phone calls a lot. I just thought my mic was going out but I'm glad I tried a few other roms before buying a new phone. I feel like my issue was far different from your current problems
If this was a software issue, everyone running android 8.1 would have this issue. This sounds like the audio codec manufacturing defect. Unless you have an app that is interfering with something, probably not software
That's weird,. I haven't encountered that issue not on stock but I never stayed on stock for long though as I flashed custom rom a couple of days after receiving my phone. Bought it new in March. I'm running Dirty Unicorns rom though, can be found from the link to Discord on my signature.
I'm definitely interested if you find anything. Installed the April update over the weekend and bam, no mic and random reboots. Factory reset didn't help. I would think it's firmware related since it happened immediately after the update, but idk. Both Sound Meter and Mic Tester show no response.
UPDATE:
I tried to load a custom ROM - Resurrection Remix 6
So far so good. I haven't experience the problem this day.
Usually, I restart my phone 6-8(or more) times a day just to temporary fix the microphone issue.
I will observe in a few days and update this asap.
UPDATE
Resurrection Remix 6.0 works great! I didn't have any problems! It seems fixes that microphone bug.
I have uptime of 36 hours and counting with out restarting my phone. I had few voice calls and few net calls (FB and Skype).
Super big thanks to all who's involved in making that project.

problem persisting in Android P too..... i upgraded last night and works well for few hours, then today, starts again........
Thanks for the tip. Ever since I got the June 18 update (D1 android 8.1) I've had random reboots, mic and the odd speaker issue.
I rooted stock with twrp n magick no difference. Even b4 restoring apps. So this week have installed pixel dust. Such a great time BUT mic n speaker problems persist, and the random reboots have become complete crashes. Where I think my phone is bricked, but if you hold power long enough it reboots. That's where I'm at now. Barely got any apps installed, dealing with it. I think I'll give ressurection ROM a ago tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. I know easily when it's happening, because I use ok Google and voice typing ALOT.
I can't believe that only last month I was totally ignorant to this issue and loved my pixel a bit too much. Now it's like dancing with a dragon ?
Does anyone else have any more tips for dealing with this?

I was also pleasantly oblivious a week ago. And I've been running on the March 2018 security patch since...well...March. So I can confirm this issue isn't caused by the June (or April, as another hypothesized) security patch. I haven't updated because I've been using Magisk for root since day 1 (opted not to install twrp), and the one time I system-updated to March, it don't go smoothly with magisk.
My repeating symptoms:
Mic failure some number of hours after boot.
And yesterday (not sure if it's repeating):
Could not receive income phone calls
so I received a Hangouts call instead, and phone did not stop vibrating until the Hangouts call was finished.
Around the time these symptoms started I had:
1 never-before-seen phone brick while I wasn't looking at it. Picked up phone, black screen, no response. Held power button for ~10 seconds to reboot.
1 never-before-seen instance of super laggy scrolling. Freezing for a second before it would scroll. Rebooted to fix.
Claimed fixes:
some say uninstalling apps solved it
some say upgrading to P
some say replacing the motherboard
The frustrating part is not having any way to know what the problem is or what the solution is. And people are experiencing different symptoms, so we can't even be sure we are having the same problem.
This article https://9to5google.com/2018/02/08/google-lawsuit-pixel-defective-microphone/ explains the cause:
If you’ll recall, Google’s 2016 Pixel devices, the Pixel and Pixel XL, faced microphones issues not too long after launch. As Google explained in early 2017, this issue was attributed to “a hairline crack in the solder connection on the audio codec,” with a warranty replacement being the only reliable fix. Later on in the manufacturing process, Google refined this part of the device to reduce the chances of this problem occurring.
Obviously, that was a frustrating issue for Pixel users, as it essentially disabled all three microphones on the device. What made the problem worse, though, was that holding the device in a different way or even a change in temperature could make the problem come back after it had seemingly gone away.

I never had bootloops but the mic and audio issue, with stockROM, pixel dust and CrDroid. Then I heard about the ubreakifix possibility and when to the next store and they changed the MB without hesitation. Since then it works like a charm. Just go there, they are very helpful. That's a hardware issue not a software one.
Long story short - the update triggers the behavior(s), but its actually a manufacturing fault. You can replace part or your full motherboard to fix it. I personally just flashed stock and took it back to EE and they replaced it no cost. I remembering reading its a common problem with a certain early batch of Pixels. I've lost the link but you can use your serial number to check if its an early version thats effected. Apparently its only effects less than 3% of phones but the problem looks bigger when i was searching lmfao.
Anyway software fixes might help, but ultimately its a hardware issue. Get it replaced. Yeah they sent me a new one with a locked bootloader so i have to start from scratch but thats better than living with the error.

You're right. I ended up getting a free repair from uBreakifix. The guy said he wasn't allowed to tell me what he did to fix it. I noticed he had downgraded me from Android 9 to 7.1.2. I hoped that wasn't the secret fix. On closer examination, I noticed the serial number had changed, which means they replaced my motherboard...for free...on an out of warranty Pixel that I bought second hand. :good:

Android 10 issues/bugs

Since Android 10 dropped, if anyone notices any bugs or issues I figured it would be good to make a thread about them. Been using Android 10 since it dropped, and one issue that I have noticed is my signal is more sloppy and inconsistent which may be a radio issue. I am using Sprint, but the signal has been more spotty and the reception overall has declined.
Biggest issue, battery drained so fast after update. Standby mode eat up more juice compare to Android 9. 9 was giving me 6-7 hrs SOT now it's just about 3-4 hrs SOT. Few apps which were using battery percentage half of it's usage time now using double battery.look like apps are not yet optimized for Android 10.

I've had that too, but it's not too significant, and i wouldn't worry about it for the first few days while things optimize but i also noticed slight battery drain.
Been trying to update the signals. The radio is definitely having issues for my carrier.
Pixel 3 in the Call Application, my screen goes black after call in connected and I can't seem to get the screen to become active again until call is over and I hit the power button twice. This just started after an OTA update to 10...
I updated to 10 OTA and since updating my wifi calling isn't working. Whenever I try to toggle it, it just says that it's unavailable and to try again later. I haven't performed a factory reset because it's always such a pain to do that (especially with all the accounts I have using 2FA w/ Google Authenticator).
My cell/data reception has also been significantly decreased, according to my little indicator in the notifications.
Anybody else having these issues?
My reception has always been poor with this phone so I cannot confirm our deny that it's worse on Android 10 stable.
However I ota updated from final beta to stable 10 and my phone randomly goes home while I'm using it. Really annoying when having an app open to have the home screen constantly appear.
Personally I'm having between 2 and 3 hours of SOT, and always had those stats on Android 9 too, for very basic using (no calls, no gaming, no videos, slight browsing, few SMS, etc). Hope battery will be much better for the Pixel 4...
I forgot about this. My phone initially also got stuck on the boot screen. I was like oh great here we go. Apparently it's an issue. Android 10 appears to still be in beta mode despite being released as stable.

Unbeliavable, how google tries to force you towards its search engine!! I could probably get used to thr new gestures, but not to that notorious search bar!! There is no reason to block all Launchers from working with gestures. I hope somebody will soon hack that!
you are furthering probably biggest bug of Q (not affecting everyone though, but many people)

As I said in another thread, I have not been able to flash the factory image of either the .019 or .020 firmware. I've been doing the method of running the flash.bat file minus "-w" to prevent it from wiping my phone, using the latest SDK Platform Tools and after trying both they both cause a bootloop. My phone will attempt to boot up 2 different times and fail (assuming once for each partition, A & B?) then go back to fastboot mode.
Considering this other major bug with the sensors now not working, I guess holding off may actually a good thing for me for now.

i would definitively if i were you. not everyone is affected but some are so...
Sensors bug fixed thanks to great teamwork of many members in this forum! Solution available in sensors bug thread!!
Had no issue with sensors but am stock unrooted since the phone was purchased. From that link it appears it may be a rooting issue. I'm surprised that that it didn't go away though after wiping and reflashing stock images and relocking the bootloader

still nobody knows what caused it but according to some users it seems it happened also for people who never modified their phones (people with not unlockable bl)
It's weird, this sensor bug everyone is having i never once had sth like that, flashed the official q factory image from beta 6 via the tool-all-in-one app. What i was thinking is, does the phone have different hardware revisions ? I am with the initial rev and can't tell
Gotten at least 3 random reboots since taking. Anyone else getting periodic recent app switching freezing or random reboots?
Hello.
I have the freeze too. Random freezing from the notification. Freezing with the recent app. Sometime black wallpaper with Nova Launcher.
The Q is with bug who don't have the beta or Android 9....

Yes, I've had a few random reboots since updating. It's been happening randomly in Google maps, YouTube, etc. I don't really want to factory reset unless I have to though.
Hey guys here is an android 10 bug on my Verizon pixel 3, when I goto the recent apps and try to clear them they will all get cleared and then when I go back to it they are all still there. Anyone else having this problem?
Im using google Launcher, and when I change the gestures sometime they all clear for good but sometimes they still won't until I restart the phone.

Ghost touches?

Anyone else getting ghost touches? It started after 4 months for me. I enabled visible touches and occasionally my device will just start spamming taps everywhere.
I'm going to RMA it, just got to install stock rom first.
Installed stock and RMA'd, they replaced the display and now thr phone is on its way back.
Apparently not re-locking was a good choice, no one cared.
Hey bro, what did u do to fix your problem? Im facing the same issue on Android 11
Replaced the display (I had warranty)
After replacement, it started again. So a screen lasts 6 months, just great...
I've tried the magisk module posted in another thread, but it still happens (not every day, though).
Currently testing out the latest MIUI. Just a day in, nothing so far.
I didn't get this issue in a month of using MIUI 12.5.5, But immediately got it once after flashing ArrowOS 11.
Anyone else facing these ghost touches?
Edit: I installed Xiaomi.eu 12.5.5, let's see if I can reproduce the problem.
Finally reproduced with xiaomi.eu. Seems rare enough to live with though...
a day with xiaomi.eu, so far nothing.
arrowos unfortunately all the time
