Phone resets itself!

endlessct9a · Thread Author #1 07-04-2009, 03:51 AM

I have a Bold about a month old. Every so often, the phone resets itself. When it does, it gives me this series of "null exception" error messages and certain things aren't available - such as pre-established / set up quick keys and profiles on the main screen. What is wrong with this thing? Do I need to get a warranty service of some sort done on this phone?

It happened to me as well - but on first/stock OS firmware year and a half ago.... So yes - upgrade to latest official firmware - you can find link here on forum

What OS are you on? Reloading / Upgrading the OS might resolve the issue.

Suggestion...try to find other threads that share your problem...then start with the easiest to implement / easiest to revert fix first. So many members jump on the 'Upgrade your OS' bandwagon when there may be a much easier fix available...read about how many upgrades go foul and the new headaches created.

actually no, since it's specifically a firmware problem.
