Help Freeze and Reboot

[Tek20]

I have had three freeze and reboot issues on my Nexus. They are random as I have seen two in Chrome and one in a Comcast app.

Is this normal for Android or signs of a issue? I can go over a week of use and no reboot without one.

My N10 will do this on occasion, usually when using chrome. It's random and can happen a few times in a week then not at all for months. No other Android device I've had suffered with this issue.

Take a look through this thread. Maybe you can find a tip that will help.

It looks like this problem has all along been caused by the drivers for the mali gpu in the Nexus 10. The mali developers say they have fixed the issue. Now we have to wait for Google to integrate it in the next update.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have the most amazing news. Pretty much the best news I can think of.

I have finally received word back from the Mali Developers. They revisited the issue and found that the fault was indeed in the Mali drivers.

"Following previous emails, the Nexus 10 issue that you have been mentioning has been fixed in the latest versions of the Mali driver."

It is, unfortunately, Google's responsibility to release this new driver version with the next Nexus 10 factory image. We can only hope that the fact that I/O has come and gone and the recent release of the Google Edition S4 and One on 4.2.2 does not mean that JB 4.3 or KLP are a long ways out. - Google Groups

Hopefully 4.3 won't be too long coming.
