Hey guys, so I've had a bit of an weird issue recently, it started up randomly, I hadn't installed any new apps or anything.
I had rooted my phone and gotten TWRP stuck on it so used Wugfresh to flash it out. During this I fully reset the phone to the stock ROM. Even after this I had this issue. Check attached files for an example of what it looked like.
I thought, maybe it was an app that I had installed previously? So I booted to safe mode and waited a while, and sure enough, the issue persisted.
Today, the Stock 6.0 ROMs were released. So I thought, might as well flash it, my device is being RMA'd for another issue (top speaker loudly crackling when audio isn't being played). So I flashed the 6.0 Stock and left it lying on my laptop for a few minutes as I chatted with a friend on facebook. And sure enough, what's floating there at the bottom of the screen? An empty toast notification.
This is a completely fresh flash. This was on the first screen before I'd logged in or set it to restore my apps or anything. This is the screen where you hit the arrow before adding Wi-Fi and such.
What could this be?
TL;DR: I have constant toast notifications and they're there regardless of safe mode or clean flash. They even exist between major updates (5.1.1 > 6.0)
I have the same issue on my stock ubrooted nexus 5 running 5.1.1
It's driving me crazy! My nexus 6p can't come in the mail any faster!

I've sent in an RMA for my Nexus 6, hopefully I get it replaced. I'm going to use my brother's old iPhone in the meantime while I wait for a response from them, and then leave my replacement unopened and resell it on kijiji. I can't trust my N6 to last when after only around 8 months it's crapping out like this.
Having the same issues on my Nexus 5. Anybody found out?
UPDATE: I installed an Xposed module called Enhanced Toasts, it logs all the toast shown in the device. In my case the Sim Toolkit app showed these blank toasts, i recently changed my SIM.

Just had my first forced reboot this morning. Cant really believe it happened since im not running a custom rom. Onlything ive done of running the phone for 2 days has been rooted it with PwnMyMoto, installed Xposed\MotoXposed, and froze MyATT and Visual Voicemail apps with Titanium Backup.
I have pretty much The same setup and i had one reboot and im sure it was from zooper widget ...never happend again since i uninstalled it

Also had 1 reboot while checking a very long email chain in Gmail with lots of embedded images. I'm pretty sure Android does this as a safeguard when the system is overloaded in some way. Don't think it's an issue.
Had one while poking at Greenify. No issues since that point and I've poked at Greenify plenty.
Random reboots have been a thing since my first Android phone. Hasn't gone away since.
Just noticed my first random reboot. Phone was sitting on my desk sleeping then it randomly rebooted.
Barely installed any apps, running stock rom unrooted unlocked.
I've had this issue with my Samsung phones in the past, too.
Is this something I'll just need to live with? Is it a software or hardware issue?
Had one while on call yesterday
I get reboots in my vehicle all the time. At first I thought it was Drive assist or whatever so I disabled that. Turns out my Bluetooth is the culprit. I can't really narrow down what specifically makes it happen, but it only reboots when I'm in the car. I expect it now and wait for it. Annoying.
I've had 2 random reboots so far, unfortunately this is a somewhat common issue that should be improved after an update or two.
So I used a guide a few months back to make my HTC One into the Google Play edition. Today I finally got around to installing some updates. I went to 4.4.3 and installed it, and then noticed that there was another update out, 4.4.4, and went ahead and it installed that as well. Everything came out fine, but I'm having some issues:
The biggest is a flickering kind of screen glitch - I've attached a photo. I can't take screenshots anymore, either; it tells me that 'storage may be in use'. It goes away if I swipe or change something, but always comes back if I, say, reopen the keyboard. It happens everywhere, including the status bar.
The powerdown menu also no longer displays. My screen simply goes dark like it does when the menu opens, but it doesn't display the options. It still functions as if it's there, as I've been able to use it to shut down my phone.
I haven't been able to find anything online about it - perhaps I should just roll back to the last version I was running if I can't figure this out.
Anybody know? Wasn't having issues like this before.

Bump, same problem, same situation. Rolled back to 4.4.3 for now
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?
I'm not sure if this is happening on other devices. My Moto X (2013) running 4.4.2 (I am on Republic Wireless) started doing something funny about a week ago. Randomly, I'll unlock my screen to see that any and all text within Google Now Launcher is blurred out. The only way I've been able to fix it is by resetting the device. Clearing cache doesn't work for me. I suppose I could try uninstalling and reinstalling, but I'm not sure if that would really fix an underlying problem if there is one. Does anyone have any ideas?
I had this happen to me one day in an app.. I think it was Reddit Is Fun or Fenix (Twitter). I don't think it happened when I was unlocking the screen, I was already in the app and using it. The screen may have timed out and I unlocked back to it with that app already open, but I distinctly remember the blocky letters on the entire screen, and I could still scroll and stuff. I think I might have pressed Home and my home screen icons had the labels like that too, so I just rebooted and it went away.
I do not use GEL, so I don't think it's related to that. It happened once, I rebooted my phone and it never came back.
I am on stock 4.4.4 XT1060.
I am checking to see if other people see this on there Nexus 6.
I get random reboots, like once every 2-3days I would say. (Is this Memory Leak?)
Also sometimes I cannot unlock with power button, it will stay black screen. Here sometimes it reboots, sometimes if I wait 10-20secs it works again.
I am wondering whether to return it for another one.
Actually I never faced with my device. And currently my device's Up Time is about 180 hrs. Running last 7 days without any problem.
Go to this link and look near the bottom of the page. Paul, from Google, is reporting that 5.1 should "reduce unexpected reboots." Hope that means they have fixed it and they just used the word "reduce" instead of fix because of the fact that any phone might reboot given the right set of circumstances. Hopefully, persisting reboots will finally be fixed. If you read the entire thread (very long) you will see that many people have reported random reboots and they have experienced them under different circumstances. I'd like to know if they've found what is triggering the repeated reboots for everyone---only time will tell. Some have exchanged their phone for another and had success. Quite a few others have reported receiving 1, 2, or even 3 different replacements and still experiencing reboot problems. Don't know what the answer is. I'm just sitting back observing, waiting to see if it gets resolved before purchasing the N6. If I don't see a satisfactory resolution, then I probably won't get one, even though, before it was released, it sounded like the just the phone I wanted.

I have the same problem on my T-Mobile Nexus 6. 2 reboots in the past 24 hours. It occurs randomly too. I just got the phone like 3 days ago so I'm hoping that 5.1 will fix this issue. Next to the reboots I haven't had any issues with the phone. It pretty badass actually. I switched from the Note 4.
Thanks for the feedback! I really like the phone no way I will get rid of it for this issue. Its just annoying as nexus 5 I didn't. Have any issue like this but I guess KitKat was a more stable than LP.
I will await 5.1 which sound imminent
