I get the same issue on my 1520, 1020 and 925. For some reason 8.1 makes it completely unstable, It randomly reboots constantly and sometimes wont even power on to the point where I have to do the reset trick.
Yeah I actually spoked too soon. When Sunday turned in to night and i was going to bed i noticed a familiar blue screen on my phone.. rebooot. So i think i will test the phone few days and send it back to the repair.
Damn, so not even a repair fixed it? So can we then assume that its not hardware related? The repair shop at least would be able to detect a hardware defect? That's why they "updated" the software, because there wasn't any thing wrong with the hardware? Hmm... strange that my girlfriend and others do not have this issue with their 1020's if it is software. Maybe if you send it in again they'll give you a new device/refurbished?
I noticed that every time I leave the phone charging over night I will find it restarted with Enter PIN in the morning.
I had my Lumia 1020 for about 4 hours from new before loading 8.1 Preview.
I had lots of problems which mainly consisted of multiple reboots at very frequent intervals which pretty much rendered the phone unusable.
I decided to go back to 8.0 using Nokia recovery. All was well but on an off chance I decided to immediately do the 8.1 update again, hoping that it may have been the previous upgrade procedure that upset the whole thing before.
I was right. My 1020 is rock solid on 8.1 now, and I even got the only app I was upset about not having today, namely Whatsapp.
If I can assist anyone with any details please drop me a line.
Kind regards.
I'm in the same boat. Tried troubleshooting everything on 8 and 8.1. Nothing stopped the issue of shutting down every day or two. Sent my phone to nokia last week and explained everything I've tried. I'll be pretty upset if all they do is reload the software as I explained to them that I did that several times already through the phone reset menu and with the nokia recovery tool.
