Help Spontaneous reboots?

I'd say random reboots are a part of all platforms, but not widespread. I had only three or four reboots over four years of BB experience and about five so far in six months on Android.
 
I have had literally 12 reboots since 4 am Wednesday morning. I love the phone, my favorite by far but I have had 3 phones in 5 days so I am going with something else.
 
3 straight droid pro's that randomly reboot? That sounds more like app incompatibility than a product defect.
 
While unlikely, I think I just got 3 bad Droid Pro's. I returned them. I do not use many apps. Pandora, facebook, less than 10. All official apps. I don't know what it was but I am sad I got rid of them. Def my favorite Android phone.
 
Then that does stink. That's too bad, because it's definitely awesome. What are you going to get? I had the Inc for six months but missed a keyboard too much and when the DP came out, it was the perfect form factor for me. BB-style keyboard, Android OS. The Incredible is also an awesome phone. I had that thing humming along with a custom rom and all tweaked. After the DP, the Inc is the 2nd best device I've owned. Good luck with whatever you choose.
 
I really loved the Droid Pro. If I can find one for a good price I think Ill pick one up. I had an HD7. Def not as capable as the Droid Pro but I loved it. I really loved WP7 so I may give it another shot.
 
I got another pro. I hope this works out because I ordered online and do not want to go through the hassle of sending a phone back and dealing with customer service. It should be here tuesday. Ill let you know if it is rebooting or anything. How is your phone acting?
 
Just to update everyone on the thread, after my 2nd Pro had the same problem with dust under screen that the 1st one, I traded it for Incredible.
 
My phone told me there was an update two mornings ago. I applied the update and everything seemed to go smooth... However since then I am getting random reboots and reboots on text messages and phone calls. :| Anyone have any advice?

I really love this device and want to keep it. Have had it since the pre-web launch... It's rebooting about 6-12 times per day and sometimes 3 or 4 times right in a row (counting that as one).

Thoughts?
 
I've had my phone since the release date. It used to randomly reboot every few days. Then it went for a while and didn't really do it much at all, maybe once a week or so. Lately, its been getting much worse with a few reboots each day. No idea why but its starting to piss me off. Gonna try uninstalling some recent apps to see if that helps.
 
my very first random reboot was today. weird. had it for several months. have to think of what I installed last.
 
The apps I deleted seems to have worked. I think widgetlocker was an issue, of course its a paid app. Uptime of 17 hrs so far...

My original Droid could go for weeks without being restarted unless the battery died. I know I've had more random reboots with my DPro in just the last week than a whole year with the original Droid.
