With my Nexus 4, rebooting every other day is a pretty good idea. Usually fixes my Wi-Fi, 3G, and all sorts of weird bugs for the moment. Don't know how representative this is for Android phones in general, but most Nexus 4 owners I know tell me this is normal.
Oh, usually once a week, sometimes twice a day, the phone will do the rebooting for me. Sometimes when it's in my pocket, sometimes when I try to watch a video that's just too long. Maybe some kind kind of memory error?
I used to have a Nexus 4 and had the same problem. I now have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and still have the same kinds of issues, just not as frequently. From what I've heard from other people I think it's fair to say it's a general problem with Android-based smart phones.
I have a Galaxy S3, and it was rebooting randomly more and more often. At the time, I lived in an apartment. I bought a house earlier this year, and to my knowledge (and memory) this hasn't happened again since.
What you said reminded me of this, because I had forgotten this infuriating rebooting. I wonder if this was related to the building or something else? This is weird.
Wow, that's exactly my experience. Used to reboot 4-5 times a day and now it happens roughly once a week.
Did you happen to use Bluetooth more in the apartment by chance?
I reboot my iPhone 5s every two or four weeks or so. Sometimes that just the easiest way to deal with some bugs (e.g. Airplay issues). Since it happens so infrequently I don't really mind the boot times that much. But all else being equal, of course faster is better than slow :)
