PART II [PHONES WITH FREEZING / RESTARTING ISSUES]
A similar thread is available for Lumias with no issues, please enter your details there if you have not experiened restarts / freezes with your Lumia.
=> Anyone' Lumia NOT freezing / restarting? [WIll be submitted to Nokia]

*note to mods: Since I will be reading each single reply and adding data to a file, I thought it was better to post two separate threads to avoid confusion and errors in inserting information and to make counting individual people with/without issues easier. Please do not merge threads to keep my job easier, I only want to help the community after all :)

I will be collecting the data and then exporting it to (hopefully) huge spreadsheets which will enable Nokia to determine patterns (maybe us as well) and will help every single one of us Lumia 920 owners & potential owners avoid these problems.

Please take a moment and submit your reply.

If your Lumia 920 is freezing / restarting / not responding occasionally please state the following:

• Country bought from:
• Unlocked?
• Color:
• Charging Method:
• Portico updated?
• Carrier:
• Heavy usage?
• Occasional overheating?
• Skype user?
• Gmail user?
• Nokia Maps / Drive user?
• Inconsistencies in battery life?

Please, do not post off-topic and adhere to the points above alone. It will make my work much, much easier.

Country bought from: Bought in the US but bought a Canada Rogers Lumia 920.
Unlocked: Yes.
Color: Black.

[Solidstate89]

• Country bought from: USA
• Unlocked: Yes
• Color: Black
• Charging Method: Combination of physical connector to wall outlet and Wireless Charger
• Portico updated: No
• Carrier: Straight Talk
• Heavy usage: No, moderate to light usage.
• Occasional overheating: No
• Skype user: No
• Gmail user: No
• Nokia Maps / Drive user: I have it installed but I have not used it actively yet
• Inconsistencies in battery life: Yes. Some nights the inactive battery discharge is less than 10% over 10+ hours of sleep. In other instances, it'll drop by over 25% or more. When used actively when playing something as simple as Words with Friends it could drop by over 10% in less than an hour or so. And this is with only one game running, it's not as if I've got the screen on the entire hour.

Just for reference, I am using the BUILD Lumia 920 Dev device with the Pentaband support.
