scroll thorugh this forum. this is a known issue (to verizon and htc) and they are supposedly working on a fix. the problem is that the first update (in may) is what caused the reboot issue to begin with. if you don't want to wait for a fix (and nobody knows how long that could take), your options are to exchage it with 14 days of your purchase for a different device. after 14 days your only option will be to keep trying other thunderbolts until they send you one that doesn't reboot. not the best options...but it is what it is. you may want to check out the samsung charge. they don't all do it.....but enough of them do that it's all over the blogs/forums.

this helped alot but i was wondering what one should i exchange and i really like this phone i just cant do with the restarts si maybe keep trying to get a new TB? or just go to something else?

if you're a patient person that can deal with possibly being sent multiple tbolts with the same problem while you wait for the update, then i prefer the tbolt. but if you really don't want to deal with this hassle then i would check out the charge. it's a nice phone. the problem is you only get one exchange and it must be done within 14 days so you have to decide soon if you would rather try the charge. if you go that route then you are stuck with the charge.....but if you have your tbolt replaced then you are stuck with a tbolt. so whatever you do, you will have to keep that model of device. i prefer the tbolt, but i was fortunate enough to NOT download that update in May so mine does not reboot. i don't think i could handle reboots while i was in the middle of calls or other tasks. that's just as bad as being on a provider that you lose a signal constantly with.

Well here is the funny part this is my second TB in like 8 days still has the problem the 1st one had is there a way to not download that patch/update when i first get it? and now that you know that what should be my next step?
