My Lenovo K8 Note was working fine 2 weeks ago and now it automatically turn off whenever I open multiple applications. It get worst as it will turn off even when somebody is calling or even texting. I have the phone for 20 months now with oreo update in it. Not sure when exactly started but it constantly rebooting now. I have done factory reset but still the same issue. Is lenovo had the issue resolved as I have read a lot are experiencing the same issue.

If someone is gonna buy this and he/she doesn't know anything about flashing or rooting ,Then I advise you to not buy this phone as it's gonna have rebooting issues and rom problems after 3 to 6 months of usage

IT IS 100% WORKING NOW, THE PROBLEM OF RESTARTING AND BOOT LOOP HAS GONE COMPLETELY!
To all of my fellow Lenovo K8 note users if you are facing with the problem of boot loop, freezing and constant restarting of your phone then its the problem with the motherboard and not the Oreo update. Yesterday i was able to used the phone temporarily by cooling it in the refrigerator that gave me the hint that there is some loose connection or dry solder due to which the phone was not working. Mainly this loose connection must have happened due to over heating of Media Tek X23 CPU.
So i decided to do the rebalding soldering of the motherboard. Now the right way to do it is using the Hot Air Station, but if you dont have it then you can even bake the motherboard in oven. Follow the steps below
1) Carefully open the back and disconnecte the flex cables for Battery, volume button, LCD and Daughter USB charge boards (Watch some Youtube Videos Online)
2) Unscrew the Motherboard and take it out from the casing.
3) Remove the metal sheilds covering the CPU, there will be 4 sheilds but only 2 of them are removable, the other 2 are soldered to the motherboard so dont try to remove it if you dont have Hot Air Station.
4) Heat the IC underneath the shields with Hot Air Station, If you dont have Hot Air station then put the mother board on a ceramic or non conductive plate and then place it inside the Oven for Baking. !!!! WARNING DO NOTMICROWAVE IT !!!! You need to use the setting of your Oven similar to what you would use for Bakin breads.
5) The Oven should be Pre heated to 230 Celcuis before you put the motherboard.
6) Set the timer to 10 to 15 minutes and let it bake
7) Once the baking time is over, then let the Motherboard cool inside the oven untill is cool to touch.
8) Put Heat sink compound on top of the IC/CPU and Metal Sheild plates
9) Reassemble everything and test if it works.
10) Dont forget to give my reply a like if it works for you, All the Best!!!
I have attached some photos of the motherboard with some instructions

The problem of restarting is not with Oreo update. Its an hardware issue with the motherboard. It just happened that the problem surfaced to all K8 note users at the same time when the Oreo update was released. The issue is with the Media Tek X23 SOC used inside the phone which over heats. Due to continuous heating and after using the phone for about 15 to 16 months the SOCs thermal sensors fail and due to that the phone freezes and goes into boot loop. The heating is mainly because of the Mali T880 MP4 GPU inside this Media Tek X23. You can confirm this and actually use your phone temporarily by cooling it down. The method i used is by putting your phone inside refrigerator for 10 mins and then turn it ON. You will be surprised that it boots into home screen and you can actually use the phone for some time. It doesn't matter which operating system you have currently installed, works both on Android Oreo & Nougat. After keeping it inside the refrigerator for 10 mins take it out and keep the phone on an Ice pack so that it continuous to stays cool even after been taken from the refirgerator. Install app CPUz and go to thermals, there you will see that all the sensors are OFF and there would be no readings. Surprisingly the phone still functions absolutely like normal till you have kept it on the ice pack and you can even watch Youtube or play games. The moment you take it away from the ice pack it will freeze and restart within a minute.

Generally, a good phone. One feels good to hold it. The product came with a fast charger. I have been using it since late October 2018. However, there seems to be a serious software problem. Within three months of my buying it, it became disorderly and whenever I put it in my pocket or in a computer bag, it would restart itself endlessly. That was funny behavior. Luckily, at the time, Lenovo had a service center for their mobile phones near my home at Okhla Industrial Area in New Delhi, so got it repaired within warranty. That remedy was short-lived, though. In July 2019, my phone has again started the same disorderly behavior of restarting itself when put in a pocket or a computer bag. And, alas, Lenovo does not have a mobile phone warranty service center in South Delhi anymore. I think Lenovo should seriously take this feedback and strengthen the quality of their products.

I have been using Lenovo K8 for the last 2 years.
I was pretty happy with the performance. Battery life wont last a full day if you are online through out. Camera is good for the money. Unfortunately this phone started to show booting issues and when reported to the service centre, they mentioned it as a frequent complaint of this set and the remedy is nothing short of a board replacement which will cost almost half of the money I spent to buy it. If such an instrument gets a board complaint in this short time I would suggest prospective buyers to think of other viable options. To be frank, until the last day, I was pretty happy with its performance, but feels sorry to know that such a fatal complaint is quite common.
