I picked up the Windows HTC One from Verizon yesterday and have had three random reboots today. Never had any issues with my 925 and every once in a while I'll see my phone light up going through the restart. May have happened more than three times but that's how many times I've seen it so far. Anyone pickup the phone yet and having any issues?
Not related to your question but my unlocked ATIV S w/ the official GDR3 for WP8 restart once in a while too. Probably like 1 or 2 times a month. I think the Bluetooth software have something to do with it because it happen sometime with my Bluetooth headset on and sometime w/o it. Weird
I picked one up last Monday and haven't experienced any reboots.

I've got my new Tilt from AT&T a couple of weeks ago. I love it so far!
However, I do have one concern. Five-six times already I saw my phone restart/reboot on its own. Has anyone experienced this? How common is this?
Additional info:
1. I don't believe this is due to any programs I installed: the first reboot occured on the first day before I had a chance to install anything.
2. There seems to be no correlation with the battery charge level, as I saw it happen with a fully charged battery.
3. It doesn't matter how long ago the phone was restarted: at least one restart ocurred within an hour after I rebooted the phone.
4. In most, if not all cases the reboot occurred when I was using Internet Explorer. This might be a coincidence though, as I have been using Internet Explorer most of the time!
And there was nothing unusual about the web sites when the restart occurred: absolutely no pattern, seem to be a totally random event.
What I would like to know, is this something I should simply blame on Microsoft (or Sun Microsystems for that matter) and get used to, or is there something wrong with my particular unit and I should replace it before the 30-day money-back expires?
Thank you!
I only had one random reboot in my month with the Tilt. I was changing views in SPB Imageer and suddenly... POOF! No problems with reboots before that or since then.
You're not alone
I've had the exact same thing happen to my Tilt as well. I have Duttythroy's big rom and I saw two soft-resets on my Tilt within a space of 6 hours a couple of days ago only. That was the first time and its not repeated that since.
I've had it for about a month or so now. The only thing I have "abnormal" on my tilt is that my trusty old SPB Backup that I've had since my good ol' days of XV6600 does not for some reason perform a backup if I set it to save the backed-up file in the memory card. It just hangs!!
So, I have to backup in the main memory, which thanks to the Godly Tilt is still around 130 megs free after 30 or so various program installs, and then move the file over to the memory card.
If anyone out there has some pointers suggestion for me to resolve this, I'll appreciate it.

Never seen a spontaneous reboot in 2 months or constant use. I use Spb Backup daily to microSD never a problem, check for latest version is all I can suggest.
Three weeks old unlocked TyTN II with stock WWE ROM. No hangs or resets.
never had a random reset
hey,
I've had my tilt for approx 1 1/2 months and never had a random reset. You might want to take it back and exchage it just for piece of mind. Just my 0.02.
Automatic reset? I cant remember one ...
never happened to me before
I had it happen to me on my VarioIII after only 10 mins! i wasn't even using it as I'd put it in my pocket. I only noticed because i felt the small vibrate as it reboots. I never had a single thing installed. It's never happened to me again though (as far as i know) in the last 4 weeks.
Thanks to everyone who replied! Sounds like it might be a good idea to replace the phone. My only fear is that the new one will have some other issues. But since majority of the users seem to be happy with their phones, I guess it's worth a risk!
Thanks again!
Spontaneous reboot? Never. Are you sure you didn't get one with Palm OS on it?
LOL.
My experience
I have had my Tilt for about 2 month. I have a lot of apps installed and reg. tweaks. I have had one or two freezes that required soft resets and zero spontaneous hard resets. Your situation sounds like mine with my old HTC pda2k - hard resets all the freakin time. Some on that unit were cuased by a defective high capacity battery, some not. I would definitely return it for exchange.
3 Kaisers in a row rebooting!!!
I bought a Kaiser a few weeks ago and have had 3 of them swapped and they all do the same thing. They reboot randomly throughout the day sometimes every half hour. I returned it for a credit and am sticking to my trusted Jasjam. Very dissapointing!!!
Also the keyboard keys are a lot stiffer than the jasjam making it very slow and tiring to type on compared to Jasjam (Hermes).
Cheers.
Htc Tytn II for 3 month and never had a problem.
no problem here
neither me had ever such a this problem .
i think my friend you must check for any 3rd party app you have installed in your phone..do a hard reset first to try it clean of any other software..
if it'snt something like this,you have to return it back to store for send it to service to fix it or replace it with a new one
Make sure the battery cover is completely secure. The only time I had an issue I discovered that the cover was loose.
stock att rom with the bloatware...no hangs no re-starts.
Well, two days ago I went back to AT&T and replaced my Tilt. So far so good: no restarts!!!
Never had this problem either. Using Dutty's V3 final rom.
Hi Guys,
Could someone tell me why my 2 weeks old Galaxy S (Service Provider: Bell) turns it self off out of the blue?
It happend twice already, the phone was on my pocket, I pushed the on/off side botton and nothing happens, the screen is pitch black!!
This is an irritating issue as I'm forced to physically take out the phone from the case and remove the battery and put it back on to turn on the phone.
Does anybody whats causing this issue? and how to fix it ?
Your help is much appreciated!
Cheers
Also, I was wondering if I do a factory reset to try solving the random shutting down problem, will I have to re-purchase all the apps I bought from the Market?
Send for warranty is needed I think
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

No, the info that you purchased the apps is stored in your Google account. So if you use the same Google account as you're using now as your primary account after reset, you can download all those apps for free. (Primary account is the Google account you first associated with the device.)
i had the same problem with 3 different bell vibrants. About 6 days ago, i bought a new sim card from bell for $5, and it has not happened since. I bought my phone from Bestbuy, but bought my new sim card from Bell store because perhaps the bestbuy sim cards are outdated. Hopefully it stays ok.
One thing i did notice was that when my phone would turn off by itself, it was always in an area where there was bad reception. Maybe a link.
I found that it happened when I installed a different launcher other than Touchwiz. I was using LauncherPro, uninstalled it and everything worked fine. I installed ADW and everything is fine so far.
I saw this thread yesterday and was thankful mine hadn't developed this issue. And then last night after about two hours idle time, my SGS switched itself off and the power button wouldn't respond at all. The only way to revive my beloved phone was to do a hard reset (i.e. removing the battery).
For what it's worth, the only "mods" I've made are installing a handful of apps. No new launcher, no custom ROMs etc.
I'm tempted to give Voda a ring and ask for a new SIM. But this really smells more like a hardware fault to me. A faulty SIM shouldn't result in a handset switching itself off, I'd think...
i'v encountered smailar problem , first i thought my phone turned itself off, later i suspected some apps i'v installed ( setCPU, autokiller etc), after while and digging, i found that i'v installed "Android Tweak" , it has an option to disable screen dim, and i'v used that option, so i changed it back and the problem is gone.
in Spain we have the same problem and no solution by now

Same thing happened to me last night. Maybe a bug with the date?

Mine just died again ten minutes ago. I guess it's a possibility, but considering the number of bugs that we're all discovering with the hardware and software, I'm suspecting it's yet another dodgy batch of phones from Samsung.
I just bought two Galaxy S and I am having same problems with both. I called Belll and they said they never had this kind of problem before. I had installed few apps and thought may be those apps were causing the problem, but even after deleting the apps..phones are powering off itself...
Did any one find the solution yet??
Same problem here, and from what i am hearing is becoming frecuent among galaxy owners. Im amazed something this important hasnt made the news , i mean, its a huge malfunction issue .
I had the same issue.
I called up Samsung support and they asked me to do a phone reset. I didn't try that, but I upgraded the firmware and it's gone now. I suspect resetting the phone will also solve the issue.
This happened to me for the first time today as I woke up and it wasn't dark outside. When I looked to see what time it was my phone (that I use as an alarm) was off!!
This is the first blemish on an otherwise outstanding experience. But it is a major one. I will assume that it is somehow related to something I've installed. But I'm not looking forward to figuring it out, since I've got a lot of apps

Good luck. I did a factory restore the other day to see if that would help. It didn't. Like you I use my SGS as an alarm... I woke up two hours late this morning because my phone had switched itself off in the middle of the night.
I'm currently waiting for a replacement handset. I'm not holding my breath that the new hardware won't have exactly the same bug though...
Mine started doing this yesterday...same with a bunch of coworkers that have the same phone. We think it may be related to bad reception.
Sigh
My phone just started doing this in the last couple of days.
I've also noticed sometimes it gets into a state of continuously saying "usb debugging connected" and then "usb connected" and just continuously keeps displaying those even though it has no usb cable anywhere near it..
Havent flashed the phone for about a week now and it was fine for 3-4 days after the flash so no idea what is going on..
Anyone else seen those usb messages? They come and go.. but it seems when they come its usually when my phone turns off..

I've not seen anything like that myself but then I have stuck with stock firmware.

Thats funny...because the only time it has happened to me is at work, where the phone is struggling for reception. It has turned off a total of about 8 times over 1 month. It has never turned off anywhere else (except one other time i was getting bad reception in the forest, and a few minutes later it was off)...strange
Well...
We've got around 20 ish Windows mobile phones here ranging from the Optimus 7 to the Titan and in the last two weeks TWO HD7 phones have, for no known reason, decided to stop at the HTC initial boot screen.
Both phones had the latest update and were being used day to day with zero application installs as they don't even know how to do that. One may have not charged the phone and let it run down while the other just turned it off at night and in the morning turned it back on again.
With the first phone (last week) I tried all the usual methods but eventrually decided to send back to HTC. I'm wondering how many times this has happened and to how many people!
Do you have the stock rom, or another one? Have you tried remove the battery and leave it without battery for some minutes? also maybe tou have installed a bad xap, as it happened me once, and after unistalled it, everything worked fine.
Does anyone else have this issue? I have a stock Moto X on 4.4.4. I use it at work with a bluetooth LG headset and up until a few weeks ago never, ever had a problem with it. I cant pinpoint when it became to happen, if I had to guess Id say a month or 2 ago, it got to the point where I literally have to keep the phone in my pocket to get a clear bluetooth connection. Now, its to the point I cant even do that. I have to have the phone right in front of me, unobstructed, to get a clear stream. If I walk away from it 2-3 feet it gets terribly scratchy and the audio cuts in and out.
I began to think maybe the headset was going bad. I got out my old Bionic and found I have no issues with the headset. I can walk 30+ feet away with it connected with clear stream. I just bought a car with bluetooth connectivity and also have problems with the bluetooth crashing on the phone, yet my kids phones connect with no problem.
Ive googled the issue and only found a few people that seem to have the same problems. They said it seemed to have happened with the latest update to 4.4.4. My phone shows the last update was August 1. Thats coming up on 3 months ago, that seems a little long ago when the issue first started, but I know Ive been dealing with this for at least 6 weeks. Its possible it has been 3 months.
I have cleared the cache in recovery mode, no help. Short of doing a factory reset I dont know what else to try. One person that had this issue did a factory reset and said it didnt help. So I dont necessarily want to wipe my phone to find out it didnt fix it.
Was hoping the update to 5.0 might fix this, but who knows when thats coming, especially on Verizon.
Any suggestions to this issue?
My LG G6 has an issue where SMS messages can be delayed up to 12 hours when the Bluetooth after the Bluetooth is turned on. The only work around I have is to keep the Bluetooth off and if I do turn it on, I must restart the phone in order to get back SMS functionality. This problem is apparently common as I have found posts on other forum pages, NOT A HARDWARE PROBLEM. Many forum posters detail getting multiple replacement phones and having the same problem out of the box. Ive had it for 3 months and the problem started 5 days ago.
I wasn't aware that it was a Bluetooth issue, I've always kept my Bluetooth on. I'm on my 2nd G6. Last week I started having the same issue again, called Tmo and was promised that it will never happen again. I'm guessing they did some type of background update... so far so good
I called a few days ago to customer service about this issue. It's definitely Bluetooth related. I've tried everything and nothing has helped.
Guy I talked to at tech support said he had no clue what it was or how to fix it. As soon as I connect my phone to anything Bluetooth, that's it. Even if I restart phone it doesn't help. I have to shut down Bluetooth then restart phone and leave Bluetooth off.
This had to be the most annoying bug over ever experienced.
