So far up until yesterday I had no complaints about my Epic (sure, I may wish for Froyo, but overall, I'm just happy to have gotten away from my Samsung Moment). My phone has started to do mini reboots, that is, it'll reboot android, but not the whole phone, all the services restart, the radio antenna's flick off and on, even 4G, all on it's own. now it's only done it 4 times (twice each day, in the morning, between 6am and 7am EST). I work in the Miami area, so yes, when I get into Miami around 7am I turn my 4G on.

Anyone else seen problems like this?

No, I haven't rooted my phone, it's stock and no taskkiller running.

Any ideas what might be going on?
 
No but all of a sudden since yesterday a handful of apps force close at bootup. And I'm noticing ads in apps are not displaying.

Well, um....thanks for that random post and congrats?

OP:

Mine seems to have started slowing down quite a bit as is evidenced by the 10 - 20 seconds it takes to transition from any application back to the launcher. Nothing's helped and i see nothing that's running that would cause it.
 
So far so good today, but I've yet to flip on the 4G antenna now that I'm at work. But either way, the 1st reboot didn't happen after I left the house and got out of wifi range. So not sure if the handoff between the antennas is causing it, or if my phone was having a few of those spaztastic moments.

I'll let you know as it goes along.

As far as the old Moment was concerned. It was a good phone, I like it with 1.6 and even more with 2.1, but near the end (about the time the Epic came out) the antennas would turn on and off for their own sweet fun, and I would have to do a reboot of the phone to get it to turn the antennas back on, and no, it wasn't the airplane mode issue, it would just turn them off when it felt like it.
 
Most of these problems can be easily figured out if you just stop and ask yourself "What changed just before this problem started happening?"

Did you install any new apps yesterday morning or the day before? Did you do any application updates yesterday morning or the day before? Did you change any settings in any apps or on the system recently? Did you notice any system updates recently? Contrary to popular belief most computer problems don't start happening "just because". Most of the time with an Android phone it's because a newly installed app is buggy or is stepping on the toes of another, already installed app. Before you quickly answer "no, I didn't change anything" think about it even harder and try and remember something you might have done, even if you thought it might be inconsequential, because a simple setting change in one application could have previously untested bugs in conjunction with other applications.
 
the only thing I've changed about my phone was I started using folders on the home screens. That's about it. Haven't downloaded any apps, a few updates to some Google ones, but that's about it.
