I have never had this happen on my iPhone but my iPad randomly does this if the battery is low and I have just begun loading a web page. Surprisingly, youtube never poses any issue so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the amount of data being retrieved. I'm wondering if the sudden network activation as I click on a link causes some power management bug in the OS.

I have 2 Nexus7's and never had an issue.

BTW If my Nexus7 shuts down randomly, I wouldn't be as Mad compared my phone shutting down randomly in the middle of phone call or in random place while using Navigation.

I've never had my phone restart at a particularly bad time. I guess I'd feel different if it rebooted mid-conversation or something (I seem to recall my Motorola RAZR doing that to me once, but it was just one thing).

My Nexus 7 issues are of course merely anecdotal, but I did blog about my solution and that blog entry got a lot of hits and responses (and my blog usually gets few hits or responses).

It happened to me almost every day for a month, then I got a new phone.
