Hi, all,

Despite wiping my Bold 9650 with OS 6 installed and starting over from scratch, my device insists on randomly rebooting.  I could not figure it out, what for sure was causing the problem.  I thought it might be an app, but the random reboots still occurred every few hours.  I had no choice but to downgrade my Bold back to OS 5.  I wiped the device and loaded v 5.0.0.975.  That OS is a very stable choice, without any problems that I can find.  I know many of you upgraded to the OS 6 and probably didn't experience the reboots and I am glad for you.  The only thing I can figure out is there is some glitch in the software that I can not find.  I am going to wait until the next official OS 6 is released to see if it might be more stable.  I depend on my Blackberry for telephone calls due to the fact I am on call with my job a lot and can not afford to miss a call, even though I have voice mail.  You know how a reboot goes on a Blackberry...it takes a few minutes to restart.  For now, OS 5 will do.  I actually have no problems running the .975, as it has been very stable, as I stated.  If any of you experience random reboots with your device, please let me know here in this thread.

Installed over the Sprint release I was running of  OS 6 without wiping, Used Desktop Manager on my Mac and No problems with the Verizon Version here, Runs Very Smooth, But still waiting for RIM to fix the Camera rebooting issues we all suffer on the Bold and Storm.

Since upgrading my Bold 9650 to OS 6 last week, multiple random reboot every day.  I have tried everything I can think of and still they happen.  I think there is a bug in this 9650 version of OS 6.

Installed what over the Sprint release of OS 6?  Another version of OS 6?  The same version?

I have Storm 2 running 5.0.0.1015 and no rebooting issues with it or Camera problems?

I have a question....do these reboots happen when you are opening or using another application or just out of the blue??  So far I've not had this happen and I've tried running almost every app I have on my Bold.  I went from .333 to this version. And did not wipe and install, just let my BB desktop software handle the chore.

Redwizard69, Hi,

My random reboots occurred on its own just out of the blue.  I was not using it when the reboots occurred.  It would occur about 4-5 times a day.  At first, I thought it might be some app causing the reboot, but after I cleared my device and reloaded OS 6 back from scratch with DM, it still occurred.  I am puzzeled what would cause the reboots.  After I reloaded the OS 6, I did not load any 3rd party apps.  I only used what came "stock" with the base OS.  I finally downgraded to OS 5.0.0.975 and it has not occurred.  I have loaded all of my usual apps and no problems. 

The only thing I can think of is perhaps a corrupt download of the OS 6 file on my part.  I just thought of that as I sat here to write this post.  Perhaps this weekend I will delete the OS 6 file from my PC and then download it again and reload it to see what happens.  Another thing I just thought of is about the Social feeds app that comes installed by default, if you select the option during the upgrade progress.  It is possible that might be causing a problem  Redwizard, did you install the Social feeds on your Bold?  Just curious if the other person who posted having reboots was using the Social feeds?  Any input is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Doc, no I didn't. Not a twitter-er and not a big Facebook person, only check it once a day or so, so not really needed for me.  Hope you find the issue, will keep you posted on how my install behaves......  Still think the .333 version I had was absolutely rock soild,never had any problems with it and debated whether to even upgrade or not.  Might try that version....

Hi, all,

Last night, I reloaded OS 6.0.0.431 with Blackberry Desktop Manager software.  Before loading, I checked the options from the loader screen in the software to make sure Social Feeds and Podcasts were not installed.  It has been almost 24 hours, and no problems to report.  I will continue to monitor the progress and report back here.  If someone else who has the random rebooting problem wants to try the same hopeful fix by reloading OS 6 please report your progress here too.  I am hoping I have found a fix.
