3rd Z10, No Rebooting!!! WOO HOO!!!
And by 'no' I mean one overnight reboot in the 5 days since swapping out for the third Z10. But that didn't fit in the title. :angel:
So a quick recap of my saga:
First Z10 (Verizon), I wasn't sure I'd like the Z10 so I made almost no changes to the OS. No side loads, very little customization. I did remove the bloatware from the device (YouTube, LinkedIN etc). It rebooted a few times a day straight away, and every overnight. A few days in I did install my SD card from my 9900 and side load Words with Friends and Google Maps. Still same rebooting pattern. About 5 days in I exchanged.
Second Z10, I'd fallen in deep-like (not love yet) with my Z10 and definitely wanted to stick with it. After much research here I knew there were Verizon devices out there that didn't reboot and I wanted a shot at getting one of those. I didn't want to try and wait out for the update that may or may not come soon and then be in trouble outside of my 14 day return window. Got my new device home (note: they did give me the same SIM from the old device) got a new SD card, wiped and reinstalled the OS, deleted the bloatware, added my apps (no side loading). Rebooting more than ever, and every overnight. http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...ooting-796358/
Third times a charm!!!
Third Z10, new SIM, SD Card I purchased fresh for device 2. Left the bloatware on (even though it kills me to have extra 'things' I don't need on my device.) Moved stuff around... added my apps back (no side loads), got her looking pretty... One early morning reboot April 20th. That's it. I'd like to run back into VZW shout WOO HOO and run back out without saying another word. :laughing:
There were a bunch of variables here, and in hindsight I should have asked for a new sim for device two just in case. And I should have left the bloatware on after I did the wipe and reinstall for Z10 Two so I can troubleshoot that. And if I was really nice I would remove the bloatware from this device to see if it makes a difference but I'm just not that nice. LOL! I have a device that works and I want to keep it that way.
