Blackberry Storm Rebooting....ALL THE TIME

I have had my Blackberry for a couple months now. I am on my 2nd one because the 1st one acted the same way. How do I stop my BlackBerry from rebooting ALL THE TIME? I have the latest OS version. I'm so over this phone it's not funny. I like it...when it works, but this rebooting makes the phone not useful.

Anyone know what i need to do besides taking it out back and shooting it?

Remove the SIM card from your Storm, it is useless on a CDMA network like Verizon. My Storm used to reboot occasionally, but when I removed SIM card, till this day did not reboot by itself. Good luck. :smileywink:

Get another one or have your local VZW store reload the OS, that is not normal and shouldn't be tolerated.

My Storm doesn't reboot all the time, but sometimes when i take it out of the holster, the hourglass pointer keeps going & while does that, cannot access anything on it, gets frustrating. When you go to options, & network technology, should it be on global or 1XEV or GSM/UMTS?

Data services should be ON

Mobile Network Verizon Wireless

Network Selection Mode Automatic

Network Technology Global

I had exactly the same problem of Storm occasionally rebooting by itself, when I remove Storm out of holster. Remove the SIM card that is in your Storm, and see what happens. I removed my SIM card a week ago, and no reboots! The SIM card is useless on the Verizon network because of CDMA, unlike the other carriers that are GSM. Another person had this problem, and suggested removing SIM card and it worked for that person. Good luck. :smileyvery-happy:

:smileysurprised: Let me clarify. I don't know if the SIM card is really necessary in Verizon network, unless traveling outside U.S. But try removing the SIM card to stop the random reboot and see what happens.
