It could have been a bad update. I would do a manual update. Make sure to back up as it will completely wipe the device. Internal storage and all. With the new update that really is the only option that has caused no issues at all.
And before someone says well whats the point of an OTA? There isnt one and no one that knows does it manually and doesnt go near an OTA.
Alright. Thanks... I'll try that and see what happens.

Hi guys
I got an x1 few days ago. I'm very happy with the phone and I updated it to the new firmware 14.1.G.2.257.
In the last 3 days, after the update, I got 3 random reboots. I don't know if it was happening also with the old firmware cause I used it just for few hours.
Now I'd like to understand if it is a software problem so I need just to wait for a new firmware or it is an hardware issue so I need to return the phone.
Thanks to anyone would help me.

in all honesty since having this phone i have not had one random reboot. When ever i upgrade firmware i always do a fullwipe to rule any issues out. But one thing i have seen happen is some apps can cause reboots, some apps cause wakelocks and some apps can cause battery drain. What i would do as a test is reflash firmware and dont install any other apps other than your standard google apps, see how that goes

thanks my only concern is about hardware but I don't think this is the case... maybe there is a bad memory management in this firmware? I read about other people having issues like this.

I really dont know, i keep hearing so may contrasting issues with this phone. I have not had 1 issue with the phone, but everywhere i see soo many issues, im certain theres a bad batch of z1's out there. I don't think its a hardware issue in your case, i cant really be sure about the memory management becuase this newer firmwares changelog included better memory management. i really think you should start from scratch as a test, and slowly add other apps, this way you can slowly eliminate whats causing this issue.

It does make sense... I'll try
Hello all, this is my first post on Android Central! I wanted to see if anyone had similar problems after converting their T-Mobile HTC One to GPE. I've been tinkering around with my phone for the last few weeks, first by rooting my One and trying out different roms, including a 4.3 GPE rom. When using this rom in particular, my phone would perform beautifully early in the day and in the evening (or sometimes after 50% battery) swiping between the home screen, scrolling, and opening apps would be noticeably slower and less buttery. Resetting the phone would normally correct the issue, at least until the next day.
Needless to say, this was the only downside of running stock Android so I decided to try out full GPE conversion to see that fixed the issue. I did a full wipe and ran the OEM RUU before rerooting, went S-OFF, and finally converted my phone to GPE. I installed the OTA update and everything was working fine until the slowness issues returned, essentially the same as before I converted?
Has anyone else had this problem? Is this being caused by a particular app or process? What kind of screenshots/logs would be helpful to find out what the issue is?
I have a TMO version and a few months ago i did the GPe conversion and mine is working very well. No sluggishness or or battery issues.

Had some issues because I triggered some developer options.. I don't know which it was.. but try to turn them off! ALL of them! Then look if you still experience such performance problems
Thanks for all of your comments. I spent last night deleting apps I didn't use to see if I could find a culprit. As it turns out, the CPU management option in Battery Doctor was turned on. I never thought of turning this off and, frankly, Battery Doctor did little for my battery life in general. I uninstalled the app completely, rebooted, and have actually seen a better battery life and NO sluggishness whatsoever all day today.
Hopefully this wasn't just a temporary solution to my problem!
Good follow up. Keep an eye on it and if its ok for a few days you "should" be out of the woods.
Hi everyone,
I guess this is an old issue, but I really need help here.
4.1 and 4.4 both had the same problem for me: The Android System really did a number on the battery. 4.3 turned it down, as you can see:
But 4.4 brought it back:
... which I wasn't too upset about.
Then, I finally got around to sending my phone in to fix the purple tint (which worked), but now my battery is getting rekt:
So do you think this is normal? Is my battery just starting to deteriorate? What do you think is wrong?
I guess it's time I moved onto a custom ROM. I've been browsing, and I don't really see any 4.4 ROMs that mention this battery drain issue, so I'm not entirely confident they will fix it. I've read that even CM ROMs have this problem.
So should I contact HTC (I've done a factory reset and battery calibration)? Will they be able to help?
Also, because I'll probably have to flash a custom ROM at some point, I'd like to ask which ROMs have a focus on battery life? I was looking at ViperOne, but it has a stock kernel, so I may want to try something else, unless it has something else that boosts battery life. Badseed? Bad Boyz? Maybe even CM?
I'm getting really mixed reviews for the lollipop update lately. Some love it, some hate it, some haven't even gotten it. I'm just curious towards the majority of opinions for the new update. So, should we or should we not update?
For me, it was great. Everything worked fine and you get the awesomeness of Android Lollipop. I've seem some people with problems with Xposed, but I don't use that.

Have you noticed any performance problems? Like slow menus or animations? I myself don't have the update, but that's a common problem I hear.
I tried it for short, but it was quite somewhat laggy and not as fast as I am now used to have on custom roms.
But I am interested what other users got to say
Lollipop and KitKat from LG both has terrible RAM management. I had to restart my phone every 48h to stop it from restarting my apps.
Besides that it's quite a good ROM. Very stable, bug free. Workes much faster than KitKat.

No, to me, it's faster than kitkat, but that might be because I flashed the kdz then reset the phone. I don't use CM because video recording doesn't work.
So after rooting my l90's I noticed my OTA updated one was at least 5 times slower than my offline updated ones. This is not an exaggeration, while installing an app, I was able to remove apps on my other phone, and install the same app, before the app finally installed on the OTA updated phone. That's just the start, menus are slower and there is tons of lag. I'm not sure exactly if it's the OTA that is the issue, but all of my l90s are at most a month old, and were purchased at the same time, so I doubt it's hardware. The firmware of the ota is identical to the offline updated, although I can't definitively determine if updating over the air is the issue because I only have one phone with the OTA. That being said I have also reflashed the same firmware with the offline method onto the ota, and it has made no changes.
My phone has been on (has not turned off or restarted) in 80+ days. Nothing much else to share. Still working great! The only issue I have noticed is that my battery is dying a lot faster than before. May be related to not restarting, but I'm not sure.
What about during OTA updates?

Hey! That is the downfall. I had not received an OTA update since I flashed to a UK version (for the fingerprint scanner).
I ended up restarting the phone after 100 days. Phone did a great job. Also, I recently flashed another custom firmware so that I could acquire the September 2018 update. The battery life on this phone is incredible (after the September update).
