Some Input

I came to xda-developers the day after getting my phone in the mail. I read this thread and i laughed not even thinking about the fact that it can happen to me(sorry for this gesture). Few days later, i pick up my phone and it restarted, at this time i thought i may have held the power button and it booted up or something(i was just thinking that is strange). It happened again within the hour, and i definitely thought of this thread and said to myself "noway."

Over the next few days i diagnosed to problem to learn about it, knowing i can return my phone within 30 days. I was not too worried. Here is what i have learned(some may have been stated already in this thread):

the problem is not related to rooting.

the problem is not related to that one program cpuset or whatever it is(sorry for my ignorance, i am being sneaky at work).

the problem (for me) happens after a full charge.

the problem (for me) occured during the first 25% of battery life usage, basically if i am running with 50% battery, it did not happen to me during the time.

the problem (for me) occured when my phone was set on a flat surface, in my case, a table everything single time. (it never shut down while it was in my pocket)

the problem for me occured on average 2 times after every single full battery charge. Additionally, i observed this for about a week, so maybe 4 full charges (about 7-9 shut downs).

Anyways, I finally replaced the unit because i wanted to have enough time to observe and monitor the 2nd unit incase it is also bad. (use up my 30days effeciently)

So far so good for the 2nd unit. I have only completed 2 full charges.

On that note, what is the best way to waste battery life in a short period of time without during my data (3g) service. WiFi? , video playback?, video record?, or games?

Things i observed from comparing the first unit and the second unit:

this phone is different when i connect the phone to usb, not sure what my debugging setting was but samsung kies never recognized my old phone, while it attempted to, but didn't sync(i unplugged) this new phone.

My phone acts differently in some manner too... i am not sure if these are the things that i was not aware of on my old phone and i just realize them now (in which case i am just delussional and it doesn't behave differently) or if it actually does behave differently.... when i get a missed call or a sms... i can connect the puzzle and it goes directly to the txt or the missed call (on new phone), where as on my old phone, it would just go to the home screen and i have to manually access the text or missed call. This is one of the things and i havent gotten to experience something else that is much different because i m not sure if i am delussional or if this really is happening. Its strange because i don't want to believe myself of this but i really dont remember my old phone being the same as this. Let me know if anyone else is experienceing one or the other as far as the missed call/sms puzzle piece thing goes.

Anyways, this is some information that could potentially help others out or people can verify their experiencec with this one or just deny everything and flame me. I dont mind any of those ;-).

p.s. took me a good 45 minutes on and off to sneak this post in. It better be helpful to atleast one person.

I will try to post an update for my new phone. fingers crossed.
