Well, a couple of things have happened. First, I have figured out that if you just hold the volume down and power button together indefinitely, it will eventually override whatever snafu is taking place. Secondly, MS has stated that they are releasing an update which will hopefully take care of these types of problems in December. Finally, I received my wireless charging plate in the mail and that really seems to bring out the issue. Every single time I have placed the phone on the charging plate, it has bricked within minutes. Odd.
