I haven't had a problem today. Perhaps last night's factory reset or getting all the HTC software updates installed did it?
Horadin, I would suggest returning that brick for another phone. Every once and awhile a phone turns into a lemon. You seem to have done everything necessary for your phone to not reboot. Factory reset and updating user profile and PRL afterward. If that doesn't work, return that puppy.I will preface this by saying I have all the current updates, I am not rooted and do not have any third party apps installed.
This morning I noticed my phone would randomly reboot. I am not sure that it is even a complete reboot though. It was sitting on my desk at work and suddenly the Sprint splash screen that you see on startup would suddenly appear and then the UI would load up. I saw this happen about 4 times and I started to investigate. I checked to see if there were any apps misbehaving and couldn't find anything wrong.
While using my phone over the next couple of hours, the screen would randomly go black and the four buttons at the bottom would light up. The phone was completely locked up. I had to do a battery pull to get it to function again. This continued to happen then I would get a message saying that the rosie utility had stopped working and it asked me to either force close it or wait. Neither of these did any good and the phone would lock up. Time for another battery pull!
I then decided to try to do a factory reset including wiping the SD card. The phone locked up during the factory reset. I let it sit for half an hour then pulled the battery. It was still not reset and the phone exhibited the same strange behavior. I then tried another factory reset without wiping the SD card. Same result. Phone locked up, battery pulled, reset did not take effect.
Another hour of being pissed off and everything is magically started to work correctly on its own. The phone has been operating smoothly for the past ten hours.
Any insight as to what happened here? Did any of you in this thread experience anything like this?
Nope it is most likely an app you downloaded that is causing the issue, did it do this before you downloaded any apps, you you remember, I have gotten it a couple of times myself, but IMO I think it is app related.
Anybody else having lots of random reboots? Mine happens when I'm doing stuff and when it's just in my pocket. No consitantcy at all.
So you never had all of the OTA updates to begin with? Your initial post said you did the OTA updates and performed a factory reset. Factory resets do not wipe out OTA updates. So I'm trying to figure out how you installed the OTA updates twice?
Hard reset will wipe out the OTA. I've done it.
So the Don finally upgraded from the Hero! Good job homie. I'm haunting this forum to see if I want to give my wife the evo and get one of these.
I think it depends on what exactly is being updated. I understand that firmware updates are kept after hard reset, but software updates are not. My updates were in the HTC software update section.Nevermind then. Someone had posted some place that a hard reset will not wipe out an OTA. I was wrong, my bad.

That's like what I experienced. Exact same symptoms--frequent lockups, and like you, the screen stayed black while buttons were lit and the device was totally unresponsive until I R&Red the battery.
Like you, it became stable, and I can't identify any factor that caused or cured this stability.
