I experienced one today. I was answering a text message, unlocked phone and got the BSOD (BLACK screen of death, lol). Phone shut completely off and I had to turn it back on. Wasn't doing anything else except unlocking the phone.

Wow not good.

Is this or When does this officially become recognized as a bug?

Worse yet I paid 550.00 for mine and gave the wife my Bionic.... lol

Small hiccup, if it happens more often then I'd be concerned.

I'll add another one to the black screen shut down pile. I was just messing around on my phone, and the next thing I knew, it shut down and I had to re-boot it.

Minor inconvenience as long as it doesn't happen regularly. I'll have to say I'm probably using it more throughout the day than I will in a typical week once the kid with the new phone in me wears off.

Should we be calling Verizon? I'm sure all parties involved in the device already know!!!!!!

Wow, I had 2 random reboots on the second day I had it. Called *611 and (after a few things) they recommended I go to the store and get another one. Did that Saturday and so far its been OK. But after seeing this thread I am guessing this was not a fluke due to my first device. Guess we'll see ...

Just bugs in the OS usually causing reboots, they'll be worked out. My OG did it randomly for the first month until an update.

Joining the club.

Last night, I had it happen twice. Both times I had my headphones that came with the phone plugged in. The first incident occurred while listening to Amazon mp3 previews. The second time, I was listening to music via PowerAmp while web browsing.

The screen went black with a loud crackly pop in my earphones. Phone rebooted on it's own. Hasn't happened today ...yet.

I hope so. My concern is that this is a hardware issue. Day 3 and it shut down using Pandora

So far i've had 2 random reboots. The first one I wasn't worried about because I was taxing the OS pretty hard. The second one though I was just browsing in the market.

I also had another strange bug last night. I was playing a game then exited out of it, and my navigation buttons were no longer there on the home screen. I opened stuff and locked it and unlocked it, and they didn't come back. The only thing that got them back is I locked it and then swiped to the left for Camera.

listened to pandora 8 hours straight today. Within the 8 hours, got the black screen/shutdown twice. Had to power up the phone to reboot.

I have lightflow installed as well. Gonna try to unistall lightflow and see if it does the same.

This is my second phone. Crap, I don't want to take another back. 1st phone kept rebooting over and over.

No issues with the second phone except this crashing crap.

Hopefully, this is an OS software fix like mentioned earlier.
