like i mentioned before in another thread or two, if i put my ZTE Merit (Avail) into airplane mode it never has this problem, narrowing it down to the cellular radio being a possible culprit. While i am not sure if this applies to all the issues surrounding the ZTE rebooting itself issue, it did shed some light on mine--apparently something involving the cellular radio crashes and causes a kernel panic, and it's NOT due to any app, but mainly a core service being unstable for whatever reason. here's a copy of the log:
SMSM: modem SMSM state changed to SMSM_RESET
probable err_fatal on the modem. calling sub system restart
restart sequence requested for modem restart_level=3
sub-sys restart: subsystem_restart()
subsystem_restart: modem did not enable SSR, reset SOC instead.
[SDM] smem: DIAG 'Q6SW a2_il_per.c01879 p:0,0,0 A2 assertion failed
Notify: start reset
Kernel Panic - not syncing: subsystem-restart: Resetting the SoC - modem crashed.
EDIT: this rebooting issue seems to happen at anywhere from once or twice per hour to once a day. it's pretty random, and in my case, it seems to peak in frequency in fringe areas (one or two bars, white data icons (lost google services))
