[Android] Smartphone reboots by itself? Here is the solution | androidbasement - Official Site

The "continuous reboot" problem not only affects iPhone users (see iPhone reboots by itself), but also users with one Android smartphone. This problem can arise suddenly, without any warning. It shows up with a continuous reboot of the device which makes it impossible to use the device.

This particular situation can be caused by a number of problems present on the device. Here are some of the cause prinipali:

  1. Presence of some apps installed on the device that prevent the device from starting normally
  2. Presence of malware and viruses
  3. Corrupted or encrypted operating system. It is no coincidence that most people report the problem after trying to update their Android OS

Point 3 represents the most frequent case, and the most effective solution is to restore the device to factory conditions. But before seeing how to do this restore, we point out below a way to try to recover and backup the data on the smartphone (photos, contacts, videos, whatsapp chats, etc ...)

We have already seen how this powerful program manages to recover data even from a cell phone that no longer turns on, and the procedure to follow is practically the same.

I have a Huawei Y5 2018, I have already reset the mobile, but it keeps restarting by itself, even more than before, I don't know how to do it

  • Greetings. Samsung J2 2018 restarts continuously, only if connected to the home wifi ... the previous model, J3 2016, came out of wifi mode by itself, connected to the same router

  • I have a samsung a7 2018, after the phone turns off maybe because it is drained (the battery runs out very quickly) the phone restarts continuously. It can restart for days, even for 24 or 48 hours straight. I have no possibility to backup as I do not have a computer at the moment. Is there a solution, even a momentary one, that I can use for this period when you cannot go out? Please it's driving me crazy.

    • Hi, I have the same problem as you reported in February. How did you solve?

  • Mine does this only when it is full of data and applications. It turns off and on again.
    While just reset it works correctly. Could it be a program or an application?

  • My gemini pda after factory reset turns on and off by itself. I can't do anything.
