Off subject just a bit but have you noticed the background on the reset screen matches the bezel color? When I get the respring I have a black background with a white logo on my space gray phone.
Anyhow. A reboot here and there has been needed manually. I would take an auto reboot. I could save some time/effort. I'm joking a little and hope too 8.1 cures a few things. Mostly happy, just ready for the next update.
