Random Reboots?

Ok all

2 days in a row now this hero has been in my pocket and out of the blue it just reboots itself. No idea why. The only things that I've changed are using handcent for sms, new seidio innocase, and i'm in a terrible roaming area for work at the moment.

This is really random. Anybodies else just randomly rebooting?

Ok So.. To bring this up a little bit. Had the wifi turned on because I was using it from the hotel this morning and now that i'm at the clients there is no wifi here for me to use. SOOO once i've shut it off it seems to have fixed the issues. I Don't know just strange

I have the same thing. Recently, the phone as rebooted twice. Once was over night, and the other time, it was in my pocket, so it hasn't affected my phone usage. Wi-fi has been turned off. I'm also on stock rom, 1.56.

could it be a heat issue? maybe the phone reboots when it reaches a certain temp

my phone never gets warm, even when streaming videos, talking on the phone, etc. I even have a silicone cover for the phone. The phone has rebooted on its own 3 times since I got it on Oct 9. If it starts affecting my phone usage, I'll use insurance to get another one.

I can't be a heat issue. I'm working from the clients 65 degree server room with the phone sitting practically under the ac unit on the counter. I really doubt it's heat at this point.

I went back to the market and the noticed there was a handcent update for the version I had. I installed the update and we'll see what happens. It hasn't done it yet this afternoon. The only thing different here is the fact that I'm in a roaming area and it's constantly roaming while I'm the town of the clients.

I have the same issue twice this week. Once in the middle of a call! I did install the new update for handcent, and will keep an eye on this issue.

Does anyone have an explanation or resolution for the random reboot issue yet?

The only thing that I could think of is a handcent upgrade. After I upgraded to the latest and greatest update I haven't had a random reboot since

Hope that works out for you, but I know Handcent isn't causing my random reboots because I 've never installed it before. This has happened on both stock and custom rom, so I guess it's back to the drawing board for me.
