I am also thinking this might be wifi problem. I had to exchange my phone over the weekend because of camera problems.
While setting up my phone I had wifi on and some apps wanted to update, went ahead and started updates and shortly after the phone rebooted. My phone also rebooted while downloading more apps.
Tonite while talking on the phone it rebooted again wifi was on, after it rebooted I noticed it was updating an app.
Before I could even send the error message to htc the phone rebooted again while the app was been downloaded.
Really dont know what to do at this time.
For me it definitely only happens when the wifi is on at my house.
Yesterday I rooted/unlocked and installed a new ROM, but it did not resolve the problem.
I guess my next step will be to redo my wifi at home. Currently I have a newer Airport extreme base station, and I use my old mushroom shaped one as a network extender. I did change the channel, and have tried it without the second base station. No workee.
I do not think its your wifi settings.I now remember while setting up the first phone at Bestbuy, it also rebooted and it was connected to the Bestbuy wifi.
I think I'm having the same problem. Sometime after 10 pm yesterday til noon today, my phone turn itself off. With very light usage too. I did check "Fast Boot" like a day ago or so. I have not downloaded any new apps or updates. Last download was Chrome. I don't have a lot of apps in general installed. This is a stock LTEvo. No wifi on.
Check the attached photos.
You can see the battery just took a nose dive last night.
Today I hit the power button and nothing happened.
I held it for 2 secs and it booted from from fast boot with 48% battery left.
I have not charged my phone for days.
This is my first incident.

Reason: Edit
Fwiw my evo has only rebooted one time.. And I was at home on wifi.. It was the first day I had the phone right after installing all my apps that I had backed in Google from my 3vo...I'm guessing since it was such an overhaul of apps ( a lot of apps at one time 20+) that the phone had no choice but to restart... Sent the error report and haven't had a single issue since
Before I take this back to the Sprint store - anyone seen this? Not rooted.
Occasional spontaneous reboot for the past 3 days, no more than once a day though. After reboot it refuses to recognize the sdcard2 until I physically pull it and put it back in. Also noticed very excessive heat coming off it first thing yesterday morning while plugged in overnight.
(Is there a way btw to force it to recheck for the secondary sdcard?)

random shutdown has been reported, so smoke over this thread for possible ideas. the handset always reads the external card upon power up unless the card is faulty or not seated properly. remove and reinsert the card as it could just need a re-seat in its slot.
if all of these issues started after the OTA update, its possible something could have gotten tangled (EM's words ) and a factory reset may be in order.
you could have an app causing this issue, so did this start to happen prior to an app install/update or uninstall?
really hard to troubleshoot across the internet but hopefully this thread and some of the ideas i mentioned (along with others who may follow) will help you decide the best action.

Anyone else having this issue? All of a sudden, my phone has done this about 6 times in the past week, and twice so far today. Haven't had any other issues with my phone since launch. Been sending the error reports to HTC for whatever good that does...
I'm not rooted. Nova launcher. I have not factory reset and don't really want to do so unless its absolutely necessary. No new apps, and no the phone is not hot when it reboots.

Mine has rebooted a few times. I'm rooted S-OFF, custom Rom at all times.
I've found a common factor in my reboots....temperature. Everytine its happened, my phone was melt your skin hot. I work outside, near fresh asphalt a lot of the time. 300+ degrees. Only time mine has done it.
Has anyone else seen a common factor?
Pegged CPU, temperature, New apps?

No common factor for me that I've noticed. I woke up in the middle of the night and watched it reboot while it was sitting on the nightstand. So, heat was not a factor. Then it rebooted about 10hrs later.

I would just back everything up and hard rest the phone. When I first got my lte, I believed mine rest itself also after I went through the "start up" setup. My phone has had the problem of not wanting to turn on when hitting the power button. After I hard reset the phone a few times, my phone seems to be working fine except some of the time. If you just take it into the sprint store, they will just back up everything(if they can) and hard rest it for you. It will be hard to show them that it keeps resetting by itself(trust me, ive been there)
My EVO 4G LTE has been randomly resetting itself ever since I first got it a few weeks ago. No rhyme or reason that I can see, generally it does it when it's in my pocket. Any ideas on how to remedy this or should I just swap it out for a new one?
Earlier, I was browsing Facebook on my EVO LTE (completely stock), and it just rebooted on its own. After the HTC screen with the Beats logo at the bottom, I'd get a black screen for a few seconds, and the reboot cycle would start all over again with the HTC quietly brilliant screen... Since then I have not been able to get it to actually start up and load Sense. It just constantly goes HTC quietly brilliant to Sprint to 4G LTE to HTC with Beats logo then black screen and over and over again... Can anyone help? I really don't want to hard reset unless I absolutely have to because I would hate to set everything up again... and also I don't want to hard reset because I can't get into Google Wallet to reset the security settings or whatever... Thanks!

Try holding down your power button for a good ten seconds, our version of a battery pull.
I've tried that quite a few times... I've even tried going through the bootloader to reboot it. All it does now is keep cycling...
I'm starting to think my only option is to hard reset, but I'm afraid of bricking my Google Wallet secure element since I can't go in to the app and reset the settings.

Facebook is Evil
Are you rooted?
Reboot and when you see the 'Quietly Brilliant' screen start holding volume down until it vibrates feedback will send you into safe mode. It will show 'safe mode' in the bottom left corner of the screen. - this may get Sense to boot for you.

Facebook is definitely evil... and now I'm upset, haha.
I'm not rooted. Completely stock rom...
I've tried getting into safe mode too, but it still wouldn't boot

Black screen/force to hard reset issue!!
So my friend who isn't to familiar with phandroid just told me her EVO 4g LTE the screen all of a sudden went black, and it wouldnt come back no matter what she did, so she was forced to hard reset her stock EVO 4g LTE just a few minutes ago has anyone else had any issues like this? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated thanks everyone :-) :-) :-)
anything is possible. we dont know what her phone was doing at the time, what programs were running, had the OTA update been installed, etc etc and so forth. its hard to diagnose over the internet what could have caused the issue...
is that an unusual issue? sure. has it happened before? quite possibly. good thing google has a backup cloud system in place for when such things arise.

This same thing happened to me last week. I was finally able to do a hard reset, and it fixed the issue only until I rebooted the phone again. Took it to Sprint, and ended up having to get a new phone.
Good luck.
Ever since the latest notification update my phone has been having issues. Lots of shutdowns on it's own and error reports to HTC. Notifications on SMS messages are also somewhat hosed. Randomly when I turn the screen back on there will several and it starts vibrating as soon as I hit the power button to turn the screen on. Looking in the error log sent to HTC it has quite a few items about LED blink. Not good since I rely on it for critical messages from work. Anybody else seeing these type things?
He has owned the phone for a couple months.
It doesn't power up. Plugged in, nothing!
He tells me when it did work, if he was talking on it for a while, it would get hot and just re-boot.
Anyone ever had these problems? I guess he's heading to Sprint tomorrow.
I told him he should have bought the Galaxy SIII..hehe..
EDIT: Sprint is taking it back and giving him a refurbished one.
Hi, I've been reviewing older posts, but haven't been able to find anything that fixes my situation.
My phone keeps restarting itself I get the HTC/beats screen and the Sprint/LTE screen, but it never boots all the way up and I am never able to view the phone when plugged into my computer.

hi all,
i have this HUAWEI ASCEND G300 that is giving me troubles and the crazy thing is that it had worked perfect in the first mount, but for the last 2 it gave me nightmers
it just shuts down and i can restart it only if i take out the battery and put it back on
i have bought it from vodafone and i have send it back only to came with the same problem
after i upgrade it to 4.0.3 it happened less frequent (from 2-4 times a day to 1-2 times)
i have disable fast boot and that have reduce the problem also (about 1 time at 2 days)
the problem is random, sometimes the phone just sets on the desk and it happens, sometimes when it charges, or just sits in my pocket, sometimes just after i finish a conversation and set it down, but never when i do something with the phone (talking, texting, browsing etc)
i know it's not the battery because i have a couple of them and the problem is still there
It doesn't seem to matter whether it's plugged in or not. Not reboot, just complete shut off. There's no warning, either. It just goes from working to completely off. At first I thought it might be a battery problem but the electronics store said that it probably isn't considering that there's no warning. When I talked to Sprint, I was told it's probably either a memory problem, although I just cleared a bunch of apps a few weeks ago, or that I'd downloaded an app that corrupted the phone somehow. Is there any way to fix this without spending megabucks or buying a new phone?
My phone did this for the first time the other day. Mine is stock had it sine launch. I was in Miami away on work. I believe in my case it has something to do with Sprint converting its towers over to new 3g and LTE here in Florida. My signal strength for 3 days would flucuate high to none while in the same spot. 4g would come on for a few minutes then go back to 3g. It has been doing this where I live in Tampa for about 3 months now. But in Miami I had like 6 apps that Play was trying to update during a very low signal slow 3g moments. The first app got stuck at 1% download. The phone got really hot and rebooted. When it came back up the apps tried to update again and same thing happened. I went in and cancelled all of updates and phone cooled off and stayed on. Over the next 2 days down there my phone would get hot in my pocket and while doing any downloads or online it would get hot. 3g looked to be really slow and stuck with the 3g icon up arrow stuck lit up. Broswer could not connect to any webpages during these times. Last note, after reboot my phone sound profile all changed including notifications sounds. Strange.
The HTC EVO 4G LTE is Sprint's version of the HTC One X. It comes with all the same specs, except for the processor, internal storage and radios (includes LTE). And aesthetics are also significantly different.
