If you are trying to work out why this is happening...don't bother! Just go to Nokia Care and get them to sort it out. I had a new motherboard put into my phone. When I got it back I restored it to exactly the state it was before. Not one reboot since and it has been over a month now. BTW it took several visits to Nokia and each time I took it back to them in its shutdown state to prove that it would not restart without a soft reset. This is almost certainly not a software issue.

This is my second 920. The first one bricked because of an update that didn't get applied properly after Portico. My second and current phone was working fine until last Saturday. I used Nokia drive beta on a trip and it locked up after 2.5 hours of use. I performed a soft reset (Vol down/power 15 sec) and it would randomly boot up but still freeze. After many resets, I finally got it up long enough to uninstall Drive beta. My phone works now but still locks up!
It sucks because I use this phone as my work phone and I depend on it working.

Hey guys, for those of you who had a phone which would randomly shut down - did the gdr2 update fix that problem?
I dont suffer from it, but just curious

Am on my third Lumia 820, the touch screen died in the first one after 4 weeks, then got a refurbished one from vodafone with a non- working flash and constant reboots, now back on a brand new-from-the-box one and after 2 days I am experiencing 3-4 reboots a day.

Portico updated? Yes
Carrier: EE
Heavy usage? Yes
Occasional overheating? Yes it sometimes gets a bit hot despite going through and manually closing off any running apps. I sometimes shut it off for a few minutes then it comes on ok.
Skype user? It is installed but I have not used it as my screen goes Blank during calls so the camera doesn't work properly.
Gmail user? No but have both POP and OWA accounts running.
Nokia Maps / Drive user? No
Inconsistencies in battery life? When the phone runs hot it drains very quickly, under normal use I can squeeze one day out of it.
I have had the phone since November and have constantly had trouble with the phone becoming unusable until a soft reset is carried out. I tried a hard reset and bricked the device so I have also Flashed the phone with the correct version: 059R1W5: RM-821_EE_UK_VAR240565_Black_V11_White but the phone still locks up. One really nice feature is when you do re-flash the device and login for the first time, how it pulls everything back down and sets the phone up with the applications and settings....very neat but still annoying having the phone require a soft re-set at least twice per week, sometimes twice per day....been late for work more times since using this phone than any other I have ever used but the device is great.
When the device requires a soft reset it always comes back with the time & date of: 01/09/12 at around 5.47am with everything else set ok.

The issue is that phone very often knows to shutdown, during day and night, only solution for powering up phone is to remove battery on couple of second.
As I can see a lot of people has same problem and to be honest I am well experience user, with technical background and I am not able to found a reason why the phone randomly shutdown. I was perform dozen of testing during couple of days, installing, uninstalling apps, resetting phone to factory state and I could not see any relationship between random shutdown and installed apps and apps running in background.
On my opinion, the right solution for this problem it would be event log on the phone. In terms of that, does anyone have some idea can this be developed and does anyone knows what data are included in feedback to Nokia and Microsoft that phone do it by self if we enable it via setting?
Cheers,

phone intermittently shuts off, needs soft reset. wifi on or wifi off doesn't make a difference. have missed my alarm twice, luckily I sleep with my old phone as a back up alarm. but for a 600 euro phone this is unacceptable, it should at the very least be a reliable alarm clock!!! fix this please, it is outrageous.

Just wanna point out that it's not a small number of people complaining about it. Everywhere people points out that the phone is freezing, even in random Brazil forums people are arguing about that. Not sure, but I guess it should be the OS (or that is what I want to believe). Hope it gets patched up.

I presume that the rebooting problem occures more often while in connection with a bluetooth device (car radio).
The freeze Problem was solved after installing the 1308 update.
