The Windows Phone 8 operating system is causing new handsets to randomly reboot, according to reports from early adopters.
Users of the brand new HTC 8X and the Nokia Lumia 920 handset have taken to the various support forums to complain of unprompted reboots and, in Nokia's case, poor battery life, and device freezes.
Threads on the WPCentral site and the Microsoft and Nokia support forums all feature a litany of complaints from owners of the handsets, which went on sale at the beginning of the month.
WPCentral poster mberdych, who began one of the threads, wrote: "So far, within 3 days of use, I have had 2 random reboots. Device just suddenly reboots itself, ending in PIN screen. Quite annoying."
Bricked Lumia
Lumia 920 users are also complaining of poor battery life and some attempts to remedy that with a factory reset have simply 'bricked' the device, leaving it stuck on a Nokia splash screen.
WPCentral user, Brian McBride posts: "I thought I'd hard reset my phone and start from scratch to see if I could get better battery life. Now it is stuck on the Nokia splash screen. Resetting it with the buttons only causes a vibrate, the AT&T logo, then back to the Nokia splash screen."
Nokia, HTC and Microsoft are yet to comment on the reported issue.
