AT&T 950 - still restarting randomly?

Can't really make any judgments about a phone's stability when you're running a preview OS build. The last couple builds in particular have been really unstable in my experience.
If I were you I'd hard reset and try the production build. If it's still hanging/rebooting a bunch (especially if it all seems to be related to movement), then it sounds like you got a lemon.

I never had the insider builds, it is restarting randomly since the time I got the phone, which is the time they released it to the market. Most disastrous one was in the middle of a phone conversation. Never had such a problem with a nokia phone before.
MS hires engineers that are not into the ecosystem themselves. They carry iphones and android phones for personal use. If the developers who work at MS do not use WPs in their daily lives, they won't even figure out the bugs we are seeing and reporting as users. Feedback option is great, but it will delay the bug fix process. Everything is getting slowly very stable but it has been almost six months till the launch now and it is still not enough.
We are basically all upset because we all see the potential in WPs. These stupid bugs would defer people from switching over from other platforms. How can I even refer my friend to use WP if it is restarting in the middle of a phone conversation. One issue I have, somehow it is under-reported is cortana search failing. My cortana search crashes %50 of the time. I always have to do it twice if I am on LTE. Why can it not just wait, or tell me there is no internet. Why does it have to close itself, and I have to retype whatever I'm searching for. Also Here Maps are living their last days in a coma. They crash too. They become unresponsive. I can understand some bugs, but this is phenomenally stupid.
I used a lot of Nokia's during Symbian/Meego times. Even though the eco system was small, and still buggy essential phone functions was rock solid. Phone/GPS/email/Chat never crashing, never failing. Even the alarm clock, it was wired into a backup system. It would work when your phone is closed. For example if a stupid bug drained your battery overnight, you would still be able to make it to work on time. But with WP these types of I stopped expecting this elegance. they are not loosing gracefully, they are loosing shamefully.
So much negativity but I'm tired of waiting. I guess 10.1 would be not bad but it looks like it won't be great.

Question, do you use a SD Card?
The reason I'm asking is because I have this problem, went to ATT and they gave me a new phone, new phone was working great, started to put things back together and a day after putting the SD Card in, same thing is happening.
Taking the SD Card out didn't help but all my apps for saved there.
Let me know, just trying to see if I can figure this out before punting this phone across the street and running out to buy a Galaxy:crying:.
Thanks,
Chuck

Mine hasn't restarted in quite a while (probably two months) but I wouldn't be surprised if started acting up again. You know, it's almost like Microsoft is actively trying to kill of the last Windows Phone remnant. The 950, 950 XL and W10M were released in such a disastrously buggy and incomplete state it boggles the mind. I literally cannot list the number of problems I've had with my phone; practically every day something else doesn't work properly. It's better these days after various software updates, but random crap still keeps happening, like earlier in the week when it took a string of still photos at 1920 x 1080 resolution for no reason. I never changed the settings and still have no idea why it did that.
