Maybe we can help nail down a culprit.

For me it has happend while on a call or using GPS. I have read others with similar experiences.

Has anyone had a reboot while doing something else?

Mine always reboots when it is sitting there doing nothing. Every single time. And it's an average of about twice a week since I got it at launch. No causative factor that I can determine. Unless maybe I looked at it funny or something...

I'm completely stock, the ONLY application I have that didn't come with the phone is the original Angry Birds, that's it. My phone reboots constantly (probably 10 times a day) both when idle and when performing random tasks (SMS, voice call, Angry Birds, etc). Reboots on WiFi, 3G, 4G, 1X, etc.

The ONLY time it doesn't reboot is when plugged in, either via USB to PC, wall charger, or car charger. It seems if it's getting juice it doesn't reboot.

Mine reboots all the time, including when on the charger. My wifes phone is too. It's that "update" they pushed out that started it all.

Verizon is sending us two new phones that haven't had the update installed.

It rebooted the other day after I had been on hold with the IRS for two hours. The women answered and within 15 seconds it rebooted.

Only reboots I have had are when I was using the GPS with a golf distance finder app so the GPS was more or less running all the time. Did not have the reboot problem before the unpdate.

Mine rebooted for the first time the other day while I was using Gasbuddy app. I do have to add it was the first time i was on 3g instead of wifi since the OTA. I have been using wifi since the reboot and it has not happened again. If it reboots again while I'm just on 3g I'll let you know.

As far as I know mine hasn't restarted at all since I got it a few days after launch. My wife's on the other hand has been restarting pretty regularly since the update. She said while listening to Pandora, on a call, while it was charging, and then just randomly when she wasn't using it at all. I wonder if the fix that HTC and Verizon will finally release will just be turning off the thunderstorm when it boots....half of the restarts wouldn't even be noticed if it didn't sound like a tropical storm in your pocket.

Reboots anytime it's not plugged in, haven't had anything specific happen, while its sitting idle, amazon mp3, just any time really, haven't as of yet had it happen while I was on the phone.

Handscent. My phone has never done this before, but now, every time I try to open Handscent, it freezes, tries to force close, then lets me do other things, but like 2 min later, it reboots. Just started doing this like 2 hours ago, and has rebooted like 5 times. UGH!!

Mine reboots as soon as the battery hits 50%. Reboots when it drops to 50% and when it hits 50% while charging. Also, no thunder sound when it reboots it's self and none of my notifications have sound until I reboot it manually.

Mine has been rebooting about twice per day since the OTA. I have reset my Thunderbolt and I am now running it with NO added software. It rebooted yesterday while I was not using it, phone was in my pocket. It rebooted last night while I was sleeping, woke up to find out it had rebooted.

I wish HTC would first get the base Android OS working on the phones before the try to add junk like Sense and Blockbuster. I would be very happy with an un-skinned but working without reboots Android phone. I liked my OG Verizon Droid, but i really enjoy 4G and the big screen of the TB.

I will wait and see if they can fix all the problems or I might ask my Verizon government rep for a new phone.
