Microsoft investigating random Windows Phone 8 reboots

Eric Abent, Nov 19th 2012

Earlier today, we heard that some freshly-launched Windows Phone 8 handsets from both Nokia and HTC are having issues with random reboots. That’s a little unsettling, but at the time, Microsoft hadn’t said anything. Now we’re getting confirmation that Microsoft is aware of the reports and is having a look around to find out what’s causing these reboots.



The company told CNET that it’s on the case, saying nothing other than “We are currently investigating reports of these incidents.” The problems don’t seem limited to just random reboots though, as users are reporting issues with email sync. Obviously, these problems aren’t good, and it’s probably a major headache for Microsoft to have to deal with these right after the launch of Windows Phone 8 – a mobile OS that needs to make a great first impression if it hopes to eventually rise in popularity and challenge Android and iOS.
