Infinite Reboot loop

[sunsetIE]

Ive had my Droid charge for less than a year,recently it has been using a crazy amount of battery power, to the point that i have had to charge it 3 times a day, and it will be close to dead after only a few hours of normal use(texting,facebook,winamp, words with friends, instagram). I do not stream anything or tether and use the built in app monitor widget to kill programs that aren't being used.

Today for no reason i can determine, it decided to reboot itself multiple times,each time successfully loading and finished "scanning the SD card", but would then freeze and reboot itself. I pulled the battery and let it sit for about an hour, then it continued to reboot usually freezing at the droid "eye". I then factory reset it and it seemed to be functioning correctly and then all the sudden it went back into rebooting non stop. Now it loads the Samsung logo, freezes and reboots it self over and over.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or perhaps have some advice on how to rectify it before i hurl this hunk of plastic against the wall and go buy a new phone?

Return it if possible. Mine did that after the 2.3.6 update and needs reset. If that failed u I'm not sure what else you could do.

Well i yelled at customer service loud enough that they will be sending me a brand new non refurbished charge, hopefully this doesn't happen again.

That's nice. I keep getting "like new" certified crap

My phone started doing this a couple of weeks ago! I did the factory reset (which erased all of my apps and texts) and now whenever I am on Facebook, using my map or sending messages with friends my battery drains in a matter of minutes. I am not due for an upgrade until next year and i do not have money to buy a new phone, but I am scared that my phone is just gonna stop working one of these days. Don't know what to do >:-(

My Droid Charge has been rebooting non-stop since at least 9:00 am this morning, probably all night. Can't do a thing with it at all. It's been doing this for months now (had it since Jan) but not to this extent. Usually does it in the morning and then it's ok after a few battery pulls. It's rebooting as I type. I have removed the battery over and over but haven't done a factory reset as I don't want to lose all my apps. I downloaded a Verizon software update this morning, too, and it's been a nightmare since.
