HTC 8XT Rebooting/Crashing

Update did nothing for me. Still crashing on Wi-Fi, but safe with it turned off.

I assume we'll be left like this until the final version is released and Sprint pushes out a firmware update. It's very comforting how Microsoft hasn't said anything at all relating to this issue.
 
Id check for a simcard issue/bad contact ,that is probably the cause, there is a trick to fix it.
 
Re: HTC 8XT Rebooting/Crashing - confirmed when WiFi 'on' and on battery.

I have a 8xt currently running 8.10.12397.895 and can confirm the rebooting randomly occurs if you leave WiFi on and are on battery.
If WiFi is off, no problems.
Yesterday I had wi-fi enabled (in order to upload some photos). I forgot to turn it off and the phone rebooted on me in the middle of a call with a client.

I've been running with Wi-Fi on since the beginning of 8.1. Once I figured out that I can't use encrypted Wi-Fi, mine's been completely stable.

As long as you use open networks, you're gtg...for example, I connect to my home network via the 'Guest' Wi-Fi connection, logging in through the web browser, and have Wi-Fi on all the time. No crashes, or other issues. Use it to upload photos, surf the web, etc.

Grizzy hasn't been so fortunate...but very stable for me.
 
I'm still having reboot problems with WiFi on and the latest updates. It's unfortunate. I hoped they would have fixed it by now. With WiFi off I haven't had a reboot in months.

After the latest update, my phone randomly reboots (max once per day, on average twice or thrice per week) even if Wi-Fi is off. I even sometimes find that Wi-Fi is on even though I never turned it on, and Wi-Fi Sense is also off.

Wish there was even a workaround. One that didn't involve leaving my wireless network unsecured.

Well technically there is... if I ever REALLY need to use Wi-Fi, I have to enable it, do whatever I need to do, disable it, and restart my phone :(

So, you don't have a wi-fi router that has a 'Guest' mode login? Open router that requires a password via IE?

No, it is the fiber companies middling but serviceable modem/router. Also, I would still be skeptical to even allow that type of traffic on my network. I'm sure no one is war driving in my area, but hey.
