Constant rebooting and locking up only during the evening

[ButterPhone]

Hi,

Just wondering what steps I should take next and if this has happened to anyone else.

My phone constantly reboots or gets stuck at the boot logo and requires a battery pull the past few days, only between 3pm and 8pm. The rest of the night and the rest of the day the phone is perfectly fine.

It started Monday 10/3. I took the phone out of my pocket as I walked to my car 5pm after work and noticed a reboot...but thought nothing of it. At dinner time I put the phone in the table and noticed a reboot...but since the phone worked still...I ignored it.

Tuesday, starting at 4pm...my phone rebooted many times..or was stuck at the boot logo...making the phone unusable. I ate dinner with the phone off...and it was fine after dinner.

I decided to swap to a spare battery. Both genuine Lg batteries...direct from Lg. Wednesday...the phone was on my desk...and around 415pm the phone rebooted without me touching it ...just sitting in my desk. Unusable again until 8pm...no matter how many times I pulled the battery.

I was charging my phone from 1pm - 4pm everyday...so I thought it might have something to do with the battery being full.
Today, Thursday...same thing as Wednesday, except at 3 pm it started rebooting and getting stuck. Lasted until 8pm. This time I didn't charge my phone in the afternoon.

Any ideas? My phone was rooted 6 months ago...but I never installed any Roms or anything...just rooted it and kept it stock.

You say it is only happening at very specific times? Try setting system clock to the time when it usually happens to see if it is some sort of software issue. If you can trigger by changing clock, then reflashing stock rom should fix it. If not it may be a underlying hardware problem.

I feel like it may be a charging issue. Ive had it reboot when charging in the car now...or shortly after it charges...so not just a time issue. The odd thing is it happens to both my batteries.

I got a new phone yesterday anyways. Apparently yesterday was the last day best buy let's you do a 2 year contract upgrade on the everything data 1500 plan. I think the only way to get contract pricing is through sprint.com now. So I'm glad I got in on the best buy deal.
