While I am writing this article, I am researching, testing, and experimenting with different solutions for the Samsung Galaxy automatically restarting problem. As I dug deeper into the issue, I found that there wasn’t one reason for this error, more like 4-5 reasons why your phone may be restarting randomly without any prompts or signals whatsoever.

Typical Reasons for Samsung Galaxy Automatically Restarting

1. CPU frequency too high

By default, a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S2 is clocked at 1.2 GHz, Galaxy S3 -1.4 GHz, Galaxy S4 -1. 6GHz. Newly purchased phones are prone to this problem as well, without any downloaded app and widget is installed on your two days or a week-old Android phone. You can still encounter random shutting down / restarting issues due to the high CPU frequency allocated.

2. Disturbances in Auto Syncing and Updating

You will encounter apps, games, and firmware is updated automatically or scheduled. Chances are you might not know if your firmware is compatible with the updates being installed, and this can cause conflict with apps not being able to communicate with your current firmware. It is generally seen with Gmail Updates and other Pre-installed Apps. On the other hand, auto-syncing complies with the same behavior as updating.

3. Touch Wiz Conflicts with Firmware

Touch Wiz is a front-end touch interface developed by Samsung Electronics with partners, featuring an entire touch user interface. TouchWiz is present on your Samsung Galaxy. Often, the TouchWiz will show unusual behavior such as: ‘Unfortunately touch Wiz home has stopped,’ freezing and in this case, “Automatically restarting your Samsung Galaxy.” This problem is rooted in Widgets, apps and corrupted updates / data stored.

4. Cache and data storage saturation

While you may have come across it before, “Clear cache” and “Clear Data.” The differences between these two are cache stores temporary data while running the application. It can be related to a computer’s RAM. Clearing your data will erase modified preferences of applications, databases and restore the application to its initial state. These two options have a notable impact on the Samsung Galaxy constantly, randomly, or automatically restarting.

5. Stock ROM compatibility issues

Samsung Galaxy Stock ROM’s are pre-installed Operating system that Mobile providers uniquely develop to make their Graphical interface distinctive from the rest. However, there may be issues with pre-built and pre-boot-up features set by default providers, Such as At & t, Verizon, Fido, that can cause your android phone to restart automatically. Some users installed Custom Stocks on their phone, which can cause this issue on their phone.

5. Stock ROM compatibility issues

It is one of the most ignored solutions for the “Samsung galaxy constantly restarting by itself issue.”, Installing Cyanogenmod can modify your Stock ROM. It may void the warranty. You do not need to root your device for this method.

Installing Cyanogenmod will factory reset your phone, so it’s better to backup. There are several ways to create a backup.

• One of the best options is to use Samsung’s very own Kies software that we usually use to update the software of our Galaxy devices.
• The second way to create a backup of the device is with a Google account. Head towards Settings> General> Backup & Reset, and it will provide two options named backup my data and automatic restores. Ensure those options are made by ticking the checkbox next to them, and it will backup details like Wi-Fi password, app data, Google settings, and bookmarks automatically to the Google server so that they can be retrieved again in case anything wrong happens with the device.
• Another practical and easiest way to create a backup is using the Samsung account. For that, go to application> settings> User and backup> Account and check if you are signed in with your Samsung account. If the option is made on, it will sync the contacts, calendar, and internet settings to the Samsung account.
