Random rebooting, never done this before.

So I've had my phone since late May. I've never had the random reboot problems that I always read about on here until the last update. Sometime in the middle of the night, my wireless signal from my router dropped and I woke up to a standard 3G signal. I browsed and texted a bit on 3G because I was too lazy to get out of bed to reset the router at that moment, lol. I had no problems at this point. I went down to reset the router, my TB reconnected to the wi-fi, and since it reconnected, it rebooted on its own twice in about a 1/2-hour. It hasn't done it again since, but I'm just curious what this might be, and if there's any steps I can take to prevent it.

Also, both times after powering back on, it splashed a warning about location services. I have Standalone GPS and Google Location checked, and VZW Location unchecked. Should I change any of those up?

glad I am not the only one who has this happening. I have all mine checked I was at the store today and mine has the current version and software. Only I don't use wifi because I don't have access to it.
I just use the 3G and it will randomly reboot has done it 4 times since I got the phone Aug. 30th.
It is confusing since the fix was to take care of it that I was told about and found out my phone has it....other than this little glitch, love the phone

Same thing just started happening to me! I have had my phone since May and it has been awesome. No issues at all - until recently. Random reboots, slow browzing, etc - all the issues I have dreaded. I have not done anything other than update my phone and it's apps. I am hoping that Ginger bread deals with the issues...
