I have found the phone might have a possible bug with the its LTE 4G radio antenna where it cause the phone to crash and power off completely similar to a Windows (screen of death) blue screen error and so far this only appears to occur when streaming music regardless of the application or service.
I must say at first I thought it was an issue with Google Music player or service as that is the only application for music I was using at the beginning but after an update the problem continued and I noticed that it only happen when listening to music so I assumed it had something to do with Google’s music player or service so I decided to backup my data and perform a factory reset and only install my daily applications to see if the problem continued.
After a few days I thought the issue had resolved itself but then one day after work out of no were my phone shutdown in the middle of listening to some music via Google Music player and writing a tweet. At this point I knew there had to be something wrong with my new Galaxy Nexus but what? I decided to test the phones behavior with other music applications since this had not occurred while streaming YouTube videos or Netflix movies but only when streaming music content.
I installed Pandora Radio for Android and started doing my normal activities on my phone like answering emails, posting tweets and reading articles online via the default browser or Google Currents and I noticed the phone would crash and power off after a few minutes or an hour or two of use. At this point I know there is a problem but still not sure if its software or hardware since there is no log I can check or error message. My final test was to only stream music without interacting with other applications and after 30 minutes of streaming the problem occurred again, I also transfer a few music albums to the internal memory and played them with Google Music player, after a while the phone crashed again completely powering off and rebooting after about a minute.
This is a random problem because there are days were the phone behaves just fine and other days were I’ve had the problem occur one to three times in a day.
Do you own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon’s Network that is behaving the same way? Or am I the only one with this problem?
