Hey guys, my nookcolor has been randomly rebooting since i rooted it. Never while i was using it, i just sometimes hear the bootup sound, and look to find that my book is now on.
Im just concerned this will affect my battery, and i also don't want it rebooting while im using it.
I noticed it doing this one time, but right after i powered it off. In use, it has never rebooted on me (yet)..
This is why we so desperately need a custom ROM. Remove the B&N bloat, and start with a clean 2.2 (or even 2.3 now) base, and really open her up..

I still want to use the B&N stuff. Any rom that emits them, I will not be installing.
I think it likely that there are NC users in both camps-
Those who want the B&N stuff and those who don't.
I am one of those who don't; the Nook for Android software does better for reading ePub, imo and I am rarely near a B&N store.
Right now we have root and Market plus B&N and I would guess (could easily be wrong) that the first custom roms will be pure Android with no B&N.
We will probably end up with an option to set while flashing: retain B&N customizations or straight Android.
I base this guess on what I have seen in the other roms for various devices (mainly Droid) I have looked at.
Same here. If I want to read B&N books, I could still use their Android app on a custom ROM.
After switching to Cyanogen on my phone, it's been quite relaxing to not have to worry about provider updates bricking the thing or otherwise screwing up the rooted customizations (or just randomly resetting the thing back to factory defaults because I started up one of their apps and it got confused). Not to mention that the CM team does a far better job supporting the device than the manufacturer and my service provider does.
And yes, like other Android devices, there will probably be ROMs in both categories: completely built from scratch with no B&N portions at all, and improvements on the B&N system to add more functionality.
Fair enough for those that are interested in the reader portions - i have to admit, i bought this as a tablet, with literally 0% in it as an e-reader; i already have a Sony 505 for that. I may use it on occasion, but only as an afterthought.
However, this topic is really drifting - perhaps we should just bring it back to the rebooting issue?
Yeah, I installed the Uptime Widget on my NC today and picked it up a few ago and its uptime was 1:30; max 15h (from before it rebooted 90 minutes ago). I'll keep running it.
What we need to do is get a logcat when it happens.. So maybe overnight I'll leave it running or something. It just rebooted on me and I was semi-watching it, didn't even notice but Uptime Widget was reset to 7m up, 15:30 max..
I have started up a logcat and I'm going to leave it running while I get ready to go out for the day.. Although I just installed and fiddled with Google Earth, which failed badly, so I wonder if it caused some problem. Also saw it happen after playing with Google Maps, so I wonder about Location stuff maybe doing it.. Dunno. I just launched Maps a few ago and it's been up since. Hopefully a logcat will capture some info.
I have noticed that I've seen some crashes that don't show the Crash dialog.... TweetDeck is particularly bad about crashing viewing some Facebook posts, and in this case it just goes black for half a second then back to the list of posts. A logcat shows it crashed. But I don't know the two are related (not having the crash dialog stuff and the reboots that is).
I had it reboot on me twice last night, one time I didn't know about it until I picked it up later and noticed the uptime widget was down to some 30 minutes, and another time right before bed I hit the power button and about 10s later I saw the boot up text and a reboot happen.
Still haven't caught it on logcat.
My doesn't reboot spontaneously, but it does "lock up" and won't turn on with the power button from standby occasionally. If I remember to use the Nook Button to wake from standby, I don't seem to have this issue. If I use the power button, and it won't wake, I need to hold it down for ~15 seconds and it reboots.
AFIAK, it has done this since I purchased it (I rooted after about 1 hour with the NC in my hands).
Mine has never reboot WHILE I'm using it, it's sneaky about it. But I suppose I'd much prefer it reboot while I'm not using it than while I'm using it; I have yet to have it do a full reboot while using it.
Trying to set up a Delicious account.. yeah, that rebooted the Java VM. But only time I've made it reboot at all.
Hahah, damnit, it just rebooted after it went to sleep. I seriously think it has something to do with going to sleep. I've been sleeping it and waking it repeatedly on adb logcat and it won't crash. Figures.
I had this same issue a while ago. I don't have the logcat from it, but from what I could tell is was some sort of error coming from the system dimming the brightness before turning the screen off. I had Extended Controls installed and was using the widget to adjust my brightness. Whenever the screen would dim before turning off I would get a reboot. I have since uninstalled it and have had no issues with reboots. I'm not sure if this is the issue youre facing but thats my story.

Actually not using any of those on mine.. I have Beautiful Widgets in ADW and Beautiful Widgets + Note Widget in WidgetLocker.. Not adjusting the backlight at all either, in fact I don't think I have at all since getting it now that I think about it.
I have the same issue: rooted Nook Color reboots occasionally and it does seem to do it whenever I put it to sleep or it goes to sleep by itself (when the screen dims). It hasn't rebooted while in use, but it does reboot occasionally when left alone. Have no idea why.
From apps that control dimming I have Advanced Task Killer installed besides the stock app that controls dimming... Could it be the issue? I will uninstall Advanced Task Killer and see if that help.
Otherwise I love my rooted NC. It's fast, beautiful and works great as an E-reader and an Android tablet.
to summarize: Do you think it's the hardware issue or software. I've heard of people who have non-rooted (stock) Nook Color having the same rebooting problem, but apparently it doesn't have to do with rooting. Do you think it will adversely affect the Nook?
If anyone finds a solution please post here. It would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks and have great holidays.

I suspect it's a software thing, as it doesn't randomly reboot in use, it ONLY seems to happen going into standby, and I have YET to make it happen connected USB for adb.
You know actually, I think alogcat can log automatically now, maybe I should try that.. but it'd have to run for a day or so, as I only see this happen like twice a day at most.
Do you have setcpu installed? I was getting random reboots when I had it on conservative. Switched to ondemand for all profiles, and no more reboots!

I myself had not played with SetCPU at all. So had you in the past and set it to conservative, and switched it back, or you switched it from its defaults? Reminds me, per my observation that it never has rebooted while on AC or USB, was there a default profile when plugged in that it's set to ondemand vs conservative? This could start making some weird kind of sense. I'll try it, but using something called CPU Tuner since it's free..
EDIT: I looked on USB and on Battery, both times was conservative, so looks like that's the default... Does the Nook have an automatic switching utility like cpuspeed in it? Hmm.. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor is the file if anyone else wants to look.
BTW, has anyone on 1.0.1 auto-nooted etc not seen these random sneaky ninja power-off reboots? I swear mine waits until I'm not looking and reboots. I've only SEEN it do it once or twice, but in the last 5 or so days it's rebooted at least 10 times while powered off. Again NEVER while I'm using it, so I'm at least thankful for that. If it were rebooting while using it that would not be acceptable.
I have the Uptime Widget, kinda wished I had an uptime graph to see if there is a pattern.. I'm about 99% sure it never happens when plugged in AC or USB.
EDIT2: IT IS CLEARLY MOCKING ME. It just rebooted after I peeked at the governor files and let it idle to sleep.
I have the same random reboot problem since I upgraded to 1.0.1 and used auto-nooter. I only see it when it goes to sleep...or so I thought. This morning I heard it reboot and i hadn't touched it since last night. FYI, it was not plugged in when it happened. Thankfully it never reboots while in use.
Oh...ad i havent used any CPU clocking tools. Also...never saw this on 1.0. So weird but I am sure someone smarter than I will figure it out.
UPDATE- Just got out of the shower and while getting dresses...heard the Book reboot twice within a minute or two.
Wondering if its an app that is causing a fatal crash when it tries to update.

I haven't had a random reboot in 3.5 hours and i have used the Nook on and off. I did remove my email account from the Google email app (not gmail) and its been good for awhile now. I will update if this changes but I am feeling confident this fixed the random reboot.

I've had one unexpected reboot today that I know of, I think this has helped, although I keep finding my Wifi turned off, even though this program I installed is only set to turn it off when the battery is extremely low. So I changed that profile and it hasn't turned itself off since, so seems to me maybe the battery reporting is a little wonky sometimes.
I've been watching, and I'll keep an eye out, but I think wvcachi is onto something.
BTW, the Nook has been primarily idle for the last 5 hours, just popped it on a few times to read an email, check on something, or see if it reboots so I haven't used it a bunch but it's lost a whopping 2% battery in that time. I also disabled the Phone stuff too, per this thread:

I am at 6.5 hours now....no rebooting so far.

I had a very odd experience with my tablet last night. After a few hours of non-use, I picked it up to begin reading. Went to adjust the brightness level and pulled down the settings bar. I noticed the bar was behaving strange, like as soon as I pulled down, it would snap right back up. There was also a flicker at the bottom of the shade. Unable to access anything there, I went into my app drawer to do something else. As soon as I went in, things got even stranger. Apps began opening themselves. Two games in particular, Gunman Clive and Lep's World 2. I would watch as the game opened by itself, then once inside the game, I would hit quit. The app, would immediately re-open.. This happened several times over. After the first app stopped doing that, it began opening the second app. Tried closing that one several times the same way and watched it re-open the same way. I decided to go further in Lep's World once it opened again. I watched as the character began jumping(but, not walking) on his own. Exited this app. Next my Kindle opened up the settings for LMT launcher on it's own. It did this same thing with these 3 apps, almost as if something(or someone) has compromised by tablet. I could physically see the buttons being pushed for these apps and it was not being pushed by my finger.
Fed up, I attempted to restart via Quickboot. Just as soon as I opened Quickboot, instead of me having a chance to pick one of the boot options, it would pick Hot Boot for me. This happened a couple of times, but finally I was able to do a full reboot. After the full reboot, My Kindle started up normally and there seems to be no sign of anything like this happening since.
Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? Please tell me I'm not hacked. I'm running hashcode's CM 10 with Nova Launcher if that makes any difference.
Sounds like your digitizer went nuts

Try installing this app and enabling screen touches. At least then you can see where the Kindle is touching itself (as weird as that sounds:what: ). Just a thought.

I have a problem that's almost identical to something similar. My settings bar behaves strangely and I get the flicker at the bottom of the shade. My apps start behaving strangely. It seems to happen about once a week. I believe it happens after my apps have been automatically updated. To solve my problem I run Clean Master app and select the memory boost and junk folders tiles. After the cleaning the problem goes away until it happens again.
Was your device connected to a wall charger when misbehaving? With some power adaptors it detects more than a touch for every real touch, which could explain the weird behaviour you described.

I have had similar problems in the past and, odd as it may seem, my issue was a dirty screen. You see, I noticed that several "touches" were occurring on a particular area of the screen, the area taken up by the d pad in minecraft pe. I believe that the accumulation of fingerprints and skin oils was enough for the screen to recognize a touch. It still happens from time to time and always stops when I clean my screen. I've found that a little bit of purel and a soft napkin work great. Good luck!
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7", which I purchased in September 2013. Its been working fine until recently. About a month ago I downloaded the 1Mobile Market 3rd party app (likely my first mistake) so I culd play Pokemon ROMs on my Kindle. This caused no problems initially. Recently I noticed it continually causing my downloads from Silk to fail (PDFs mostly) so I uninstalled it. Still no problems. The other day (about a week or two after uninstalling) I was playing a Pokemon ROM and when I quit out it kept opening random apps instead of going to the Home screen. after I kept hitting the home button and getting random apps instead for awhile, I restarted my Kindle, hoping that might help. Now, instead of doing that, it just auto closes any app I try to use and most menu options. If I swipe down, go to "More", then "Applications" (in an attempt to see if any running applications are causing the issue it goes immediately back to home. I've tried restarting it several times to no avail. Now I can't even read any books for more than a few seconds. Any advice or am I just screwed?
Can you post a link to a logcat?
Are you rooted? Custom recovery? If so, I'd recommend wiping cache & Dalvik
Any of you experiencing this? I have my phone for 10 days and for 7 straight days now, my phone is powering off by itself even if still have at least 50% charge. I haven't rooted it yet, all stock.
Yeah it's a known issue at the moment and I don't think there's currently any fix for our problem. Or I at least I haven't checked the thread that's open for this issue in a couple days. From what I read it seems to be hit or miss on the first wave of Nexus 6's from ATT and Motorola. I'm not sure about the T-mobile, Verizon, and Sprint versions of the phone.
Got a notification for Software update, I think it's 5.0.1, but I didn't update. That's when my phone powers off by itself. When I a do a manual systems update, it says my phone is up to date under version 5.0. Could the update might've fixed this?
I just read that if you have the Amazon apps installed on your phone that's part of the problem. Google and Motorola confirmed they're working to address the issues with the reboots and shutdowns people have experienced. 5.0.1 is suppose to fix some of the bugs but not all. Amazon apps or Appstore is related to most of the reboots due to an incompatibility with the OS.
Yeah the amazon app is quite slow on the n6

My phone did the same thing. I returned it to AT&T for a full refund and will wait until I can get my hands on something not from AT&T.
AT&T Random Shutdown
I had a Pre-Order and mine was doing it almost twice a day. I returned it and exchanged at the store for a newer one. The new ones have a green dot on the box next to the IMEI barcode. Been on the new one for a week and a half and it has done it 3 times now (it is updated to 5.01). However now when I power it back on my home screens are wiped, essentially set to default but everything is still installed and setup EXCEPT google now. I do have amazon apps installed but just removed after reading previous post, will see what happens.
I went to store also and they will exchange again but IDK at this point if it will help?
Mine has turned off by itself twice now, I am on 5.0.1. Having come from the LG G3 which would do this whenever I took a photo, unless I switched to Airplane Mode, I thought I had seen the back of this problem.
Also the OK Google recognition screen cuts in when watching You Tube videos all the time.
I'll remove the amazon app. And see what happens.

I uninstalled both Amazon app and the Kindle app. Lets see what happens.
Just an update: 2 days after uninstalling amazon and kindle app, my N6 hasn't powered off by itself. I think it does affect my phone.
I removed Kindle App and Amazon app on 12/19/14 no reboots since.
That's good news, is it possible the Amazon app was causing the issue? I got my N6 from t-mobile and experienced my random reboot about an hour after the initial setup and 5.0.1 update. Wiped Cache Partition as suggested on another thread. But if the Amazon all is the issue here I will uninstall it too...come to think of it I setup my Amazon app last along with my Ebay and NewEgg and shortly after my phone restarted....hmmm thanks for the info guys!
I uninstalled all Amazon apps (appstore, instant video and the Amazon app itself) and still having that shutdown issue. Totally annoying. As far as I could see it almost only happened while my earphones are plugged in. Just happened 1 time without plugged in earphone. 2 weeks N6, already about 10+ random shutdowns. Any known solution for that? It's totally annoying... :/
Running latest Euphoria OS, but also happened before rooting.
Going to uninstall Amazon App
I have been having random reboots lately almost 3-4 times a week. It is getting super annoying and i did notice that i do have the amazon app installed. I have uninstalled it and will see if it helps with the random reboots/power off. Thanks for the updates information on this issue.
I haven't encountered this prob for over 2 weeks already. I guess it's amazon.
I just had my Play Store nexus 6 reboot on me. Its on verizon, never have installed amazon. Very light amount of apps installed, almost nothing running. Stock, unrooted. 5.0.1
Hrm
rebooting is real
My new Nexus keeps rebooting about twice a day. Missed several calls due to this.
. 5.0.1, noncarrier. 5 apps installed. Do I have get an iPhone - shudder.
What apps do you have installed? Is the 5.01 factory installed or updated through your carrier?
