Default Does the "restart" option actually work for anyone?

As you all know when ya go to power off the Sensation, there is the option to "restart" the phone.

This is my 2nd Sensation that does not like that feature one bit.

Power off works fine, but when I hit restart, the phone shuts off and will not turn on by itself? In fact, it goes into a little mini hibernation and wont wake for a few minutes no matter how long I hold the power button down.....very strange.

It's no big deal...just strange to have it act the same way when choosing "restart" on two different units.

Anyone encounter this on the Sensation?

Thx!

That's weird, mine is working fine. Have you tried to hard reset? pretty sure it is a software problem.

Right on.... No biggie. Everything else is perfect.

Yes, I've done factory resets, battery pulls on both units....same thing.

I just won't use the restart feature.

Thansks guys!

Mine works fine. I only use it when I charge my phone completely to reset the Uptime & Awake time. If not, It keeps running on the same timers I powered it off with.
