Default G2 randomly reboots

My phone keeps on randomly rebooting. Is anyone having the same problem?

I am experiencing this problem too.

It rebooted once when I was using the Camera (Youtube HD Video mode)

Once When Trying to open Gallery.

And once while just sitting here on my desk at work.

I want to love this phone so bad! I really like it so far though, and the keyboard issue is def. not a problem for me, and I think it's probably a design flaw rather than a manufacturing "defect" considering there are no springs. It is very hard to recreate the hinge problem while holding it naturally, including at a 45 degree angle in bed.

I also have had a few reboots and also media server force closes while running other apps. Never had these issues with my N1. Luckily I still have it. I'll give it a few more days and probably end up returning this G2 and going back to the N1.

I have been waiting for a good QWERTY phone with a fast CPU and a WVGA, passed on the nexus one and kept my G1. After running CM6 on my G1 (usable but sloooow) there is no going back for me after using the G2.

I sure hope this is something fixable in a firmware update

Does it reboot all the way to the white htc screen or the grey tmo g2 screen? Mine does it to the tmo screen and seems to only happen when the phone has been sitting for awhile and I pass through an area with no reception and when I hit reception again is when it happens. Almost like its turning itself off but stays on enough to look for signal and then turns back on. I only say this because on my drive I know the spots where I lose service and the phone does the reboot in those spots. Anyone else?

Yea I had this happen today when roaming in nw ohio I think it may have started after taking pics of my niece. I also have a problem with the memory card it says it mounted read only and none of my pics or anything show up in the gallery.

The incredible used to randomly reboot. I believe that was due to when there was low signal. It was fixed with an ota.

It goes to the G2 logo screen.

I have also had two occurrences of it being stuck at that screen and the power button not responding to long press or anything, only solution was to remove battery.

That would make a lot of sense, I'm at work right now and my signal is very weak here, goes in and out all the time.

What about others who are experiencing this problem?

Also, I am using a Class 6 A-Data 8gb microsd partitioned for ext3/swap/fat (not the included card), and so far each time it has rebooted the USB cable was plugged into a PC (for charging only, no debug or mass storage)

I wonder if any of this matches up with others who are having issues?

Default g2 reboot and mulitple force closes

i am getting the reboot issue also, it seems to be random when i am opening an app or going in to basically anything. also i am getting multiple force closes in basically all apps. i did a master reset and going to reload all apps and such and see if that fixes anything.
