Monthly when an OTA patch comes out ...

I use the auto reboot setting to reboot every couple of days just to free up memory and speed up my device.

[Q] How often do you have to reboot your phone?

My friend has the Nexus S and he says he has to reboot his phone DAILY.
Just wondering what other users' experience are before I take the plunge.

the same. only reboot to see a new bootanimation or when i do flashing/backup/restoring. other than that i dont see the need.
once a day to keep things under control
i never reboot but i do turn my phone off when im sleeping
I only reboot when new pics go missing in my Gallery or when Navigation crashes, which is about once a week.
depend
it depends...I only reboot if needed... hmm maybe 1 reboot every 2 days.
i started a thread called "what is your uptime" in the nexus one forums. at that time, my nexus one was running for 245 hours without a reboot (can see in the settings menu). that is about 11 days straight, and i regularly go longer, usually a few weeks between reboots. the other people who replied all had similar results and longer.
the android linux kernel is extremely solid and stable. without even trying, my phone runs for 3 weeeks or so without rebooting.
not sure about the nexus s, as gingerbread seems to have a few issues that froyo did not (when i started my thread).
as i type this post for example my up time is 230 hours. smooth as butter like always.
5 hours on mine
i usually only reboot when i flash something to my phone. that being said, generally im flashing things to my phone several times a day, every day. so im rebooting 2 or more times a day. there really isnt a need to reboot very often, but rebooting once a day will keep your phone on the quick side.
I reboot when i fix permissions, or flash rom or update or Kernel or whenever my phone does the random reboot bug.
I'd guess i never have reboot my phone because something went wrong, that i caused it to happen
I've never had to reboot because of a problem. Running stock 2.3.2.
My uptime is 25 hours at the moment as i updated the netarchy kernel to 1.2.7 yesterday (over stock 2.3.3)..
I had many reboots before the 2.3.3 update (not my choice the phone just did it often when on a call). But now its purely up all the time unless updating or playing about.

RAM problems with Lollipop

Someone have problems of full ram with lollipop?
My nexus 5 after one day become very slow and all apps reboot itself and can't stay open in multitasking.
Only a reboot solve this problem. All stock. No root.

How do you get to that screen? I haven't had any issues since my install about 17 hours ago.

I swiped right past it when I was looking. My RAM is nowhere near that. System 442 MB, Apps 635 RAM, Free 779MB
Day two here. Not an Issue. I clean wiped.
Did you dirty flash? If yes,reflash and do a clean.
Did you reinstall apps using googles back up? If yes, wipe and when resetting up do not use this service.
Did you just clean wipe because that usually fixes stuff? If not. You may want to try it.

Weird... My system is only take about 200 MB
This problem happen also with last dev preview. Of course i have done a full wipe to install lollipop final.
I'm only using have the ram. No issues here. You may have an app not optimized for lollipop.
i know this may not be the optimal solution but FB apps? just run a day without them and then see if the problem still persists.
Only 67mb here....
Normal for me here too been running for almost 24 hours.

New update

There was a new update today. The new version is N920VVRS2BPF2. Not sure what changed though.
I wouldn't download this yet guys/girls because it's looking like this is a security patch to stop us from downgrading from MM to Lollipop!! Once this has been accepted you can't even factory reset or it will render the phone useless!!
I don't know why people have an issue with Marshmallow. Runs flawlessly, I'm usually sitting at 1880MB of free space of RAM, no stuttering, looks and feels cleaner.

Not everyone's phone is the same that's why. Some people like Lollipop over Marshmallow and depending on how you use it and what apps you have on there are also a determining factor in how the rom runs.
Took this update earlier this morning, phone runs like a dream on mm. Starting to notice some slight slowdown with battery saver on. Might be time for a full wipe and reinstall. I did one with the first mm update but there's been like three now since then.

Good luck! Someone else who tried to do a factory reset and wipe caused the phone to get stuck and so far he hasn't been able to do anything at all to fix it!!
Yikes guess I'll be holding off then

I accidently hit the install for this update. Ever since MM my battery life, screen on time, has been horrible (2.5-3.5 hours MAX). I've factory reset, wiped cache, tried the package disabler with extreme settings and it still is not right. I was thinking about going back to lollipop but if this update froze that I may dump this phone and look for another. that I can root.

That sucks dude!! I've figured out that if you factory reset *before* you accept any updates, the battery and phone will work much better! I'm not sure what you can do at this point except maybe try to Odin the stock Lollipop rom and see if it works cause maybe the other guy's phone was just a fluke! You have to enable OEM unlock first and enable adb in developer settings.

I'm on MM and did a reset last week. I could not sign in to the phone using my Google account for 24 hrs.
If you do a Google search you can find out about this new "security feature".
Also you can reboot the phone by holding down the volume down, then home, then power in that sequence for 10 seconds.

They've been doing it for quite a while.. It's supposed to be a security guard against people stealing your phone and factory resetting it immediately so they can use it. The simple way to stop this is to activate developer mode and enable OEM unlock and USB debugging! Most people who don't bother to read nothing should be happy that it's only 24 hours instead of the 72 (3 days) that it used to be! All they need to do is research before doing anything to their phones.

So it just buys you time if your phone is stolen. Fine right do what exactly I would track it.. Or remote wipe it.. Just not seeing the benefit

Yeah it basically buys you time to track it or wipe the phone and lock it down. It also gives you time to change your password just in case. If people don't want it they can disable it as I said and you can enable it again later if you choose to. I don't see how it's going to hurt anyone so long as they read and learn about their phone before doing anything to it.

What? I've been using Android phones with Verizon for as long as there has been such a thing...and I've never waited three days after a reset or one day either. Personal experience here or rumor?

Personal experience several times! Either it's on or off and the carrier can even hide the option so you don't even know it's there. Personally I think it doesn't happen when you're somewhere you normally use your phone but if you go to say another state it's going to know and activate it.
I've reset an lg g2 tons of times flashing it, s4 multiple times and my note 5 twice and I've never had to wait ever. Could it be because I use 2 step authentication?

Stupid update has screen time like 6th on my list of battery consumption. Thanks for the security update Verizon. Google services seems to be my main drain. Then media server. Nothing like ruining my great battery life.

This is totally false. I just upgraded my wife's Note 5 and then downgraded back to KK. All that is required is a factory data reset after the downgrade. You can do this by holding down the volume up, home and power buttons for 10 seconds. The phone will reboot into recovery and then you can reset and be on your way. Just keep your Google account and password handy if needed.

Pixel Keeps Rebooting?

Hi there. Just got my Pixel yesterday and I've loved it so far. Even though I can't unlock bootloader, stock is fine the way it is and a lot of tweaks I planned to do were available without root. Plus it's a huge improvement over my G4 and SE.
Anyway, the only problem I have with the phone is the random reboots caused by updates. When the device shipped it was on 7.1.2, yet the phone continues to update. I suspect it's security updates, because it seems that enabling "Disable Automatic Updates" in developer options hasn't stopped the reboots. Is this normal or is it happening to anyone else?
P.S. To anyone that asks why don't I just update to Oreo, I prefer to wait at least a month before updating to make sure most bugs and issues are properly fixed.
Your phone needs to go through all those updates when you first get it. Is normal. Mine rebooted to update about 6 times before it was all caught up. Yours will probably be more. Be patient. It's worth it. [emoji5]

Okay thanks . Guess it surprised me because my other phones rarely had any updates this quick.

Android 10 update is just awful

Until update to Android 10 my experience with Nokia 9 was ok. Unfortunately user experience after update is horrible. Performance hit is enormous, I have to restart my phone every day because my notification bar starts lagging, waking up animation is very choppy when I'm playing music or phone just starts to lag when I'm browsing Twitter. I just can't imagine how this update got pushed out in this state when CEO of HMD is using Nokia 9 as a daily driver. I hope they will fix all the performance issues in the next update because right now this phone is just piece of garbage

I agree. I thought I had got lucky with mine as apart from the fingerprint reader not working, (obviously), and the camera missing shots because it's so slow, (obviously), I didn't seem to be getting the other problems reported on here. But since Android 10, it's been freezing , stuttering, hanging up on calls etc. I've been having to reboot twice a day. Basically not fit for purpose in this day and age. Disappointing so I'll be looking for something else.
Same problems, until i choose hard reset
Facing the same glitches issues with wakeup and notification center animations, but overall the general performance and much better.
- Camera, quicker with better results!
- Speakers sound is significantly better
Hi all,
I do not mean to hijack this thread but I have still not received the android 10 update. Awful or not, I need those security patches. I have a nokia 9 pure view model TA1087. The build number of my phone is 00WW_4_27D_SP03
I am looking for a way to downgrade to pre A-10 if anyone has a way to do it.
Hard reset did not work.
Managed to get the phone stable again.
To others wanting to revert back to A9

PL] You need to do a manual firmware update. See the tutorial on my blog at the following link.

It has been a while. Is it OK to upgrade back to A10 yet or is it still unstable? (Camera, lag when charging / unplugging Charger)
