ZL rebooting while mobile

Unlocked ZL, Tmobile, Android 4.4.4, Kernel version 3.4.0-perf-ge2ad053-00925-g7f21499

Build number 10.5.1.A.0.283

 

On the New Jersey Turnpike on 9/19/2014, 9:30-11 a.m.

spur from PA Turnpike, headed east, followed by NJ Turnpike north, exits 6-10, phone spontaneously silently rebooted approximately every 10 minutes.

 

11-1 p.m, headed south, this did not occur until back in Pennsylvania.

 

This behavior has not been noted prior to the recent build.

 

It may occur only with bluetooth earpiece (Jawbone Era) in use. It is independent of Jawbone client software.

 

Similar behavior on New Jersey Transit train between Trenton and NY Penn Station with earpeice in use.

 

LTE has good bars, but intermittently drops to HSPA. There may be an association.

 

It does not appear to be associated with internet browsing or GPS. On 9/18/2014, on New Jersey Transit tran between NY and Trenton, browsing with Firefox was normal. Bluetooth was on, but Bluetooth earpiece was turned off. There were no reboots.

 

Although I live in Pennsylvania, I cannot provide local reports, because I don't use the phone that way here.

4.4.4 update

Since the latest update im seeing extreme battery drain i'm on for my second charge now... Unplugged phone at 9am this morning from full 100% charge then light use(txt and a few phone calls) and then battery is flat by 2pm so charged to 100% and now is dead again at 7pm and on charge again... This is only since the 4.4.4 update...

Anyone else having this issue? This is really not acceptable and probably my first and last sony smart phone...

Thanks,

Re: 4.4.4 update

Try performing a system repair as this will often fix issues after an upgrade - This will factory reset your phone

Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
