Default Wildfire restarts at random

Hey guys.

I've got an issue start is seriously starting to destroy my first Android-experience.

On several occasions when messing around with e.g. the clock app, my phone just restarts. I can at some point live with that kind of instability although I don't understand why I have to...

However, what will soon be an agonizing karate death for the little Wildfire is the fact that it, usually in the night, often restarts too. I've never tried it with the alarm turned on so I don't know if the alarm will ring while it's asking for the SIM pass. Just started working after holidays with a new phone in my possession, and luckily I accidently just found out it restarted again... But if it turns out I'm gonna sleep the day away because of this, I will definitely have had it with a piece of software - that sort of seems beta to me...

Hope you can help me out, peace

Sounds like a defective phone to be honest.

Android normally doesn't restart on its own without an app telling it to do so.

Mine just runs fine for days.
Infact my current uptime is 163 hours.

I have the same issue.

The phone have done five restarts in the last two weeks.
Three of the times this happened I was listening to music. The other two times happened when I was browsing the menus.

My previous HTC touch cruise (windows mobile) developed the same problem, after 2 and a half years.

It's definitely hardware. You should look at warranty service
