Battery Pull seemed to help.

So yesterday I vented on here that since the OTA update my Tbolt kept having reboots and my battery life was horrible. Someone suggested a hard reset and battery pull. I didn't want to do the reset so I tried just the battery pull. Since I did that my battery is back to normal and I haven't had any reboots either. Thank you for the suggestion!

Just pulled out the battery while the phone is on?

Yes leave the phone on and pull the battery and slide the SIM tray out. Then hold down the power button for 15 seconds. Slide the SIM tray back in replace the battery and turn on.

I did the battery pull the same day that I did the update .... my battery is still worse than what it was like before. I haven't had a single restart since the update, though.

hm...might have to try this.

battery life has suffered considerably (along w/ random reboots) since the update.

(side note: switched to 3g only, went 9am-11:30pm with 15% battery remaining...hate to lose the constant LTE functionality but 3g is still fast)

I did this as well after I had 2 random reboots the same day I applied the OTA update. For the first 24 hours following the battery pull -- no reboots! But then the very next day, I had 2 more random reboots.

I've never had a random reboot before the OTA update. I notice now that Android System is using close to 40% of my battery under battery usage - and my battery life on the extended battery is significantly lower (but still no problem making it through a full day). Before the OTA update though - I was getting 3+ days without a charge (put it on the charger at the end of the 3rd day with about 28% left) on the extended battery, now at the end of the 2nd day I am below 20%.

I really hope Verizon or HTC has a fix for this soon.

Oh, BTW- I should add that I have 4G turned off (Using CDMA Auto PRL) - and it still rebooted, so I don't think the issue is specific to being on 4G. Still could be radio related though...

Just did a battery pull. Here's hoping it helps because I just had two reboots in 15 minutes.

Thunderbolt HO!!!!

thunderbolt reboots

I called VZW after several days of rebooting. The lady said they had no known issues of this happening to anyone else. I just laughed. She had my to do a factory reset. I still wasn't satisfied so she is sending a Luke new device. But I have noticed since doing the factory reset it has not rebooted once. She also said she contacted HTC and they knew nothing of this problem. Something isn't right.

A battery pull didn't fix mine. And these random reboots are really killing my battery. I loved the phone before the update. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone right now until this gets fixed.

I wonder why some phones are rebooting randomely and otherers aren't. I did the update the morning it came out and have never had my Thunderbolt reboot before the update or after. Purchased the phone the morning of release date, 3/17.

My battery was atrocious for 2 days following the OTA, but last night I pulled the battery with the phone on and the problem has been solved. I pulled my phone off the charger at midnight and I still have 25% charge at 4:30pm (light usage). My battery is back to being spectacular and I can't begin to express how grateful I am that this worked.

Mine seems to be better after battery pull. I think the key is to pull the battery with it on not power it down then pull.

 

[MikeDUBS]

After the battery pull this morning, I haven't had a single reboot. Usually I would've had three or four by now.

I too had 3 reboots the first day after the update, but after someone mentioned doing a battery pull, I did that and haven't had a reboot since.
FYI, my understanding of a battery pull was just shutting the phone down, then pulling the battery to remove all residual power from the phone to clear any volatile memory. That's all I did.
