Phil Nickinson complained about the reboot issue on Twitter and Verizon support replied as follows:

"We have partnered up with HTC to provide a solution to the device reset issue. We will keep you informed."

So, there you go. :0)

I guess it's a blessing in disguise that I still haven't received, and can't seem to force it, the update yet. That's great news that they're addressing it though.

Ha - so they can push another update that doesn't do much. I have given up hope on both VZW and HTC. They will just pump out more phones so we are the minority and they don't listen.

Seriously, though, I *just* started getting reboots.

Do a master reset and re load the OTA before loading everything back on the phone it fixes the issue. Some phones just didn't load the OTA properly for some reason.

Does "reboot" mean the same as a dropped call? There had been some dropped calls before the update, but after the update nearly every call gets dropped.

I did the update last Thursday. For the first few days, it didn't reboot any more than it did before, that is to say that it did seem to reboot itself every couple of days or so.

It wasn't until today that it turned into a flood of reboots. About once every hour. I know it did it a few times yesterday as well, but it's constant now.

reboot means reboot i.e. the phone turns off and turns back on going through the whole storm/thunder animation. I've only noticed the reboot in flakey signal areas which just so happens to only be my parents house so I just avoid it. lol

No, it completely powers off and restarts.
