HTC One M8 for windows Keeps Rebooting

[TKL888]

My new HTC One M8 Windows phone has rebooted several times in the past 3 days on it's own. Anyone else having the same problem?

 

[pusta]

Yup. Mine did it once last night while charging and 3 times today just sitting on my desk. I just did a reset to see if it helps at all, but pretty annoying.

 

[David Hilliard]

Oh no! This is the reason I ditched my 8x. I hope this isn't a trend as I really want one. Will be watching this closely.

Well, after resetting the device and starting fresh, it rebooted again tonight. Very annoyed.

Even my HTC one is resetting several times in a day. Can we do something about it?

I thought I only rebooted once - but apparently I'm rebooting every few hours!! I installed the app "WP Uptime" to keep an eye on it - and every few hours when I check it, it shows uptime at only 30-60 mins, meaning it had restarted. My longest uptime so far is 2 hours 46 mins.

Why the heck is this phone restarting on its own like that? I need a stable phone - coming from a Galaxy S3 which I restarted once every month or so.

A friend had a Nokia 920 that did that. He replaced it 3 times, and each model kept rebooting. So he gave up and got an Icon instead - that phone is much more stable according to him.

Hade my HTC W8 for 6 days and no reboot for me yet.

Yup, mine is going back tomorrow for exchange. Was fine all day long, then rebooted 5 times while sitting on the coffee table next to me over the course of 2 hours.

It's probably a WP issue and not device related.. My 920 did that all the time, my 1020 less often but still at least once per day, and so does my 925...

I have Lumia 635 for a month and have never ever faced this issue.

You should try a hard reset.

Also, do you have an memory card (apps in it also?) too slow memory card could be the cause. Also you can try reformating the card on the phone. All cards should be formated on the device.

Okay - I left my phone alone yesterday after installing WP Uptime. It hasn't restarted yet - uptime this morning is 23 hours 17 mins. I also didn't charge it last night like I usually do - still has 78% battery after 23 hours!

I'll take it out today to see if it restarts - perhaps being in my pocket moves things (or flexes the phone structure) and causes the restart.

Maybe an app not playing nice. Have you D/L'd anything right before it began rebooting? If not and your 14 day return window is still open get another.

With my 8X, using cellular was usually the cause of the reboots. I now use my 8X only on wifi. No reboots. I also noticed if I left my phone alone, no reboots. I mention all of this because they are both HTC phones and the reboots sound similar. I could be way off base *shrugs*.

I've used plenty of cell data and wifi. Just got the One M8 today, but it has not rebooted on it's own since I picked it up. I installed Uptime on it just so I can check, but so far it has been stable and superfast.

no reboot here for 3 days

Wow! I was keeping my eye on that gorgeous beast but I might hold off until I see a resolution to this issue. I have a cheap Android phablet (Blu Life View 8) that is presently at 816 hours of uptime. That's over 34 days without any resets and coincidentally, that's how long I've had it. No freezes, no hangs, nothing. I think this whole buggy Android myth is just that, a myth. If a plain white wrapper Android can go this long, maybe it's the OEM skins that are f*****g up.

Exchanged my M8 for a new one at a Verizon store today. Set it up with just the factory apps and it went most of the day with no reboots. Added all my apps back on and the reboots started up again. So good news is it seems app related. The bad news is I need to figure out which one. :/

 

[Mr. MacPhisto]

I did a restore and brought back most everything from my 928 (except the Nokia apps). No reboots, but would be more than happy to share app lists if that would help you eliminate some. Are you installing the apps in the system storage or on SD? I've seen phones have reboot issues when apps are stored on microSD.

I am curious if all your apps have been updated so it plays nice with the latest OS updates. If one of them hasn't could be your culprit.
