Here is a new problem for my Bionic...reboots. I have owned this phone for over 6 months now and during the past couple of weeks I have been having random inconvenient reboots. Some after sending a text, some after ending a call, and one yesterday in the middle of a call.

Anyone else having issues like this? I have also noticed some data drops lately as well. My area has been pretty solid for 4G for a long time so I'm wondering if there are Vzw issues.

Look at any recently installed apps, they could be the source of the problem. Then you could try a factory reset...

I'm on my second day of smooth running again. I'm wondering if there was a tower issue in my area that has been resolved.

Are you still having the random reboots? My phone has started doing this too. I've had the Bionic since day 1 and it has just started this in the past month or two. It can just be sitting on the desk or in my pocket and then I hear the startup machine sound as it is booting up. It has also done it after sending a text or closing the browser, etc. I have not tried a factory reset yet and I haven't installed any new apps lately. Any other ideas?

One of my buddies has a bionic, and a couple months ago his began with the spontaneous reboots. I told him to put his factory battery in for a day and see what happens. It stopped rebooting. He was using a non - oem extended battery.

I'd start by using another battery, if you have one
