4.1.2 is supposed to contain a workaround for the sudden death issue.
So while there is certainly a hardware issue, the symptoms of "sudden death" are that the phone is bricked. It won't work at all, and can't be turned on.
This does not seem to be the same issue of freezing and random reboots. At least for me, the problems started upon installing 4.1.2.
There is most likely two groups of people with problems - those with hardware issues which are likely to be severe (dead phone), and those with software issues which are likely to be annoying, but non-terminal.
I guess it's conceivable that these reboots are symptomatic of hardware issues, but tweaking the wifi settings is unlikely to make a difference in that case. But it did for me so I'm leaning towards software for now....
