Some Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ units are randomly restarting

29 April 2017
While a section of complainants is blaming the microSD card, others are pointing fingers at the lock or Always-On Display screen.

I let my phones (Lenovo K920 and Xiaomi Mi Note 2) run more than that 400 hrs + and they don't restart. I just do to restore RAM usage after probably 15 days without restarting. Oh, and uh, nothing beats 4000mah.....except maybe more than that. But those sammy bloatware phones you mentioned? pffft. Unless you got a C9 Pro.

        that's your fault for buying a phone right after its release date. why dont you buy it at least 2 months after the release date?

                  All my Samsung phones (S2, S4, S7) and tablets (Tab S) will restart itself.

                  Check the device Up Time inside Settings->About Phone->Status and see for yourself how long your device ran without restarting. This usually is less than 240 hours. (Note: Power saving is activated on my devices)

                              those were the days when devices are "not so" complicated yet reliable and has no major problems. .

                              .goodbye Samsung.

                                .OMG! ..when will this SHAMESUNG (I mean Samsung) learn from their mistakes!? darn, S8 is SO Expensive and Ugly design to attract a customer that has NO enough knowledge and only rely on famous brand name (poor they are).. IMHO LG G6 might be better in specs, build and design. Huawei's P10 or Mate9 as well.. This new S8 copied LG G6's and a weird location of F-Scanner?..WTH!?
                                .SHAMESUNG should strategically plan on their new devices more specifically its QUALITY.
                                .The Note 7 fiasco was a huge disappointment. and now they are making new devices and highly priced to recover from their loss. but look people, new and rushed produced S8's having more and more problem issues!
                                .Consumers should also learn.
                                .Better brand and devices are just around the corner!
