XR500 Factory Reset Itself!!!

Yeah I'm having the same issue as well it's really annoying and I don't understand what the issue is. This was working just fine for the past week and a half since I got it. I also tried to test something out an a simple reboot and that would trigger this problem as well.
- Hi Threlnos, make sure you're upgraded to the latest version then do a factory reset and let us know if it happens again and if you're able to reproduce it.
I'll try this out but this is my third time redoing my settings (did a restore but didn't seem to do anything thing) so I have had to setup my various devices throught out the house for the 3rd time in less then 12 hours. I will do the factory reset and let you know the results.

When performing the factory reset. Make sure you hold the reset button on the back for at least 10-15 seconds and then let it boot all the way up. :]
Please let us know when you have performed those steps.
