Tbolt powers down automatically

I've had this happen to me one day. It happened three times in a row. Although it hasn't shut down for a week now. I also get a random reboot maybe once a day.
 
I had this happen one time after about a week of having the phone, I got mine a week after they were released. It shutdown overnight and I woke up late. Although I get the random reboots, it has not completely shut down since.

However the one instance of shutting down has caused me to find a great use for my old trusty Storm 2. It is a dynamite alarm clock now.
 
This has happened to me a few times. Called Verizon and they suggested a hard reset, and if that doesn't work they'll send me another Tbolt. I'm afraid to ask them for another Tbolt. Kind of willing to settle with mine for now for fear of going through half a dozen duds like some people here have had the misfortune of dealing with
 
This has happened to me a couple times now. My same routine, I go to the bedroom, plug my phone in and make sure the alarm is set. I wake up in the morning late and see that my phone is off. While I was asleep, the phone has shut down and did not power back on. This also happened this afternoon. Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks,

Matt


My TB does this. I have never truly experienced a reboot due to the fact that my phone never turns back on when it randomly shuts off. Has happed probably half a dozen times.
 
I had this problem where it shut off during the nite then missed the alarm in the morning twice in a week. After that I set another alarm that I knew was dependable. Didnt have any problems for about 2-3 weeks, then happened again as the alarm started to go off.... i knew the phone was on 10 mins before then. After that time the phone would not come on. Battery was fully charged all night long.

Went into VZW and they thought it was the phone, ordered me a replacement and when the replacement came I had to go back to the store for a new 4G sim card and the replacement didnt come on either.... ended up the phone is fine, but was the battery that was bad. I kept my old phone and they gave me a new battery.
 
On my second thunderbolt....first one would just shut off and not turn back on....this one does the same thing. Only had one reboot and 4 where it just turns off and doesnt turn back on. I dont use the alarm on mine
 
What the heck, I'll jump into this discussion...

I had the [dis]pleasure of having my tbolt shut down on me for the first time today. Running BAMF. When I booted it back up it had almost 40% battery left.

As for reboots, rooted stock rom with update was rebooting 1-2x a day - with BAMF, its only done it once in the past week

Yea mine used to reboot once a day. Yesterday, the first day I used my extended battery, I was using it to play music on my way home from DC to MD. Phone turned off and I thought "crap another reboot" only it did not turn back on. I had to do it manually. Great. I use this phone as an alarm clock. Don't know what to do now.
