Unfortunately, these reboots are sounding more and more like hardware issue(s) than software, IMO. htc devices have a track record of rebooting and freezing. Although Nokia Lumia 920 users have reported some rebooting issues with their devices, they are much more sparse from what I can tell. I haven't heard of Lumia 810's or 820'a having this issue.
I certainly hope this gets nailed down and fixed...soon. I am not overly optimistic it will, however (based on htc's track record). I really like the 8x, but am not willing to burn $200+ and a 2-year upgrade to deal with faulty hardware. - 11-17-2012, 09:23 PM #2
Even if it's hardware, they can fix certain hardware bugs via software. My honest opinion is it is not hardware. My guess is WP8 was rushed to market like every other consumer product and a nasty bug or two made it through. Although these reboots are unacceptable, I am very happy with my phone. I actually have not seen any reboots since yesterday at 5pm.

I have only had 1 reboot in around 2 weeks of using my 8X and none on my previous HTC's i very much doubt its hardware. WP8 needs a few more updates to sort out the bugs. Nokia users might not be getting as many reboots but i have read of a range of software related issues in the 920 forum which i haven't seen on a 8X yet such as "green screen" & "freezing up" etc.
That's not mentioning the many other problems 920 users are reporting both soft & hardware relatedMy WP History: HTC Mozart / Nokia Lumia 800 / HTC Trophy / HTC 8X

I'm on day 3 with zero reboots.

Day 3 here as well, not a single reboot. Only problem I have run into so far is music still playing from last.fm even after closing the app.

Disable automatic updates under phone updates. Disable ipV6 under mobile network internet and mms APN, select ipV4 only. Make sure your primary account is neither duplicated as a email account nor a google account.

None here with the Verizon version. It is probably bad apps causing the problem.

I'm also erring on the side of software. I have no evidence for it being Attentive Phone yet but that is the only thing that is different that is actually baked into the OS rather than being simply an uninstallable app. Either that or it is something fundamental in WP8 in which case MS need to sort it - wither way 920s have seen random reboots too. It IS a difficult line to tread as there is a window for RMA and these bugs need fixing within that time otherwise people will hit the limit of their RMA window and just change the phone for something else. I am personally holding out.

I've had my 8x since launch and haven't had a reboot once. Perhaps a lemon device?

Two unlocked Euro HSPA+, no reboots.

Definitely hasn't been an issue on the 822. If it develops over time, I'll let you all know - one more data point to help nail down hardware vs OS couldn't hurt...
