Any mental notes on the state of the phone at the time (were you usually trying to turn it off because it was already misbehaving at the time, e.g. from overload, or something else), or the frequency meant by intermittent (we talking once a day, once a week, once per few weeks, what)?

It's one of those things where maybe it was perfectly innocent, or maybe whoever owned it before it was refurbished overclocked it without thinking to the point of actual damage, then slipped it back as a return or whatever as soon as they realized it. Or it could just be an innately defective unit. In either case, I think whoever decides to buy it deserves to know as much detail about the issue as possible.

That said, thank you on behalf of everyone interested in possibly buying this, myself included, for the honesty and integrity of revealing that issue up front to begin with.

Finally: This thing still works as a phone right, no 'all telephony functions have been disabled' error, and no intermittent failures to detect SIM card even though it's still in the slot undisturbed (which is typically a precursor to the former)?
Everything works well, the phone part is fine, call quality always good, no error messages ever appearing, no problems other than the sometimes-reboot mentioned.

As for the rebooting. It usually happened when, at the end of the day, I turned the phone off. Then, sometimes, the phone would instead reboot itself, and I would have to turn it off again. This time, it usually would turn off, but sometimes it would reboot again; but never more than twice or thrice. But just as often, the phone would turn off normally, without any reboot.

I noticed one thing --- when I replaced the battery with one freshly charged by the external charger, the reboot-problem seemed to be less.

Once in a great while, the phone would reboot at a random moment, but never during a phone call, and, I think, never while running any app. Only when sitting there, idling. But this sort of reboot was very rare.
