Thank you. This was my point all along. There is NO new information here for other device model users. This thread was directed at Verizon.
But now the thread is hijacked so the title might as well be changed.

By the shear numbers you may be correct. However, you can trust me, random rebooting may not be a big deal to BlackBerry but if it is happening to a user, it is a big deal at worst and an irritant at best. Although my z is only rebooting about once every two days or so, it is a pain in the *** and it sucks. BlackBerry needs to get a handle on it or they will loose me and a lot more like me as loyal customers and we will tell every one I come in contact what a pos the z is. There are a lot of other folks out here in the same boat. The z is just anorher tool to me and I don't use cap tools. Rant off.

I updated my Z10 to the leaked os 10.1.0.1880 and the issue seems to be over. Before the upgrade I had the issue many time every day

It doesn't really matter anyway. I'm glad Kevin asked but it doesn't sound like Blackberry even knows why this is occurring. They are going to continue to blame the carriers and the carriers are going to continue to blame Blackberry. Either way they are going to lose customers if they don't get this fixed.
Thank you for a level-headed and common sense comment.

I got a little non sense question for you people who are experiencing random reboots....
What type of network mode are you using?
Is it one of these?

As has been discussed various times elsewhere, Verizon's devices do NOT allow users to selectively disable just LTE.
Not only that, on Verizon devices the options there pretty much amount to "US setting", "US and global setting", and "Non-US setting". Specifically they are listed as:
- UMTS/GSM
- Global
- LTE/CDMA
That would have been one of the first things I would have tested myself, if it were an option open to me. I've already tried the "Global" and "US-Only" (ie LTE/CDMA) setting. Some people report better results with one, some with the other, many report no difference.
(Technically, if you know what you're doing and don't mind the risk, you can, via special commands, go into the cryptic "escreen" (generally intended for developers or carrier technicians) and you might be able to selectively disable LTE there, but because I don't fully understand the options and because I'm not fully aware of how they would impact my link to Verizon's network or the warranty on my device, I have not attempted that.)
I'm on Rogers and have been experiencing random reboots regularly. Yesterday, after the OS update, I had more than 5 reboots that I actually saw happen (somehow, I am certain there have been many I have missed). I also find my battery runs extremely hot, and since the update, when I am in a call, the screen goes black and I have no way of ending a call.
I believe there's something about defective on radio/basebands hardwares. I'm not so sure.

Thanks for the clarification and cheers..
I'd like to add my stats to the table. I am a TMobile customer living in NJ. I bought my Z10 three weeks ago and since then I have experienced random reboots at least three times each week. The first week it happened like the second day. I hadn't had any apps installed. I ignored it and continued to install my apps. Since then it has continued at odd moments. In NY while having lunching i look over to check my notifications and it was in a reboot cycle. Same thing at home, I had it charging and went to check it and again reboot cycle. Made me wonder how often it happens during the night or when I'm not checking it, if I'm in a rehearsal or such. Anyway, I reloaded the os a few days ago and did not install any apps. Today while driving I look over to check my phone, which I shouldn't do while driving, but the light was blinking; how could i resist... And when I pressed the power button it went into a reboot cycle. Frustrating!!!
I can't figure it out and it's driving me nuts. I haven't tried a new sim, but maybe that's next. Get on it Mr Fearless Leader. Use your Crackberry super powers. Thanks
Try reading the article from Yesterday. It must suck to have random reboots. He stated in the article he knows it is not limited to Verizon . As a family member of his is having the same problems.

So, do you expect me to consider a post he had not yet made? I appreciate his latest article. Blackberry has however dropped the ball

And what about us poor T-mobile random reboot sufferers? Are we destined to throw our phones under a bus in frustration? Or, egads, throw up our hands in discuss and return to our previous platform (new BB user here....).
Both my wife and I have T-Mobile (USA) Z10's, running OS 10.0.10.85 (what came preloaded with the new phones)...we have both experienced random reboots, usually at least once or twice a week. Not sure if it is related to a common app download, or simply an issue with the carrier's OS version. We are both hoping that the 10.1 update will help us as well...it's more of an annoyance than a deal-killer though. We LOVE everything else about the phones, so it's more than worth the occasional issue.
My UK carrier don't offer LTE or 4G, I've set mine to 3G only. Never had a reboot. My friend on Orange had a few reboots, til he popped his Z10 onto 3G only.
I'd totally forgot about that.
Posted via CB10 from my Q10.
Does10.1 solve the reboots for people who had them before the upgrade?
Posted via CB10
It didn't for me.
Nor me
Some people have reported turning off LTE helps, and some others have said it doesn't help. It's worth a try for people who can do that, since it's easy to do.
Unfortunately us Verizon users do not have that option.
(Edit: It's also kinda hard to give up 38Mbps downloads. ;))
I have the random reboot problem with AT&T. Daily

One of the main causes I had in pre 10.1 was the phone turning itself off in the holster. When you put the device in the holster, it will ignore the state of the buttons on the device, e.g. whether the top button is pressed or not. If you put the phone in the holster but accidentally hold down the top button, it will begin the count down to turn off the device, but because it's now ignoring the state of the button, the button may as well be still pressed down and the count down with continue, resulting in your device switching off.
I have, however, had times where I've placed the device on the table and had it reboot; this, I cannot explain. Maybe the battery or something gets jolted. Either way, as of 10.1, I no longer experience the issue.

Did Kevin changed his Z10 without reboots with someone�s Z10 with reboots now?
I am interessted in your experiences Kevin. Gogo... :)
