Hi i hope someone can help me with this problem. Since i updated the last software update on my phone, my phone keeps restarting whenever i use the internet or even on apps that worked perfectly fine before that update. Is there anyway i can solve this problem as its getting rather annoying now. It is also happening on my daughters phone and she has the same model phone as me

All three family phones have exactly the same issue after the last system update. 

They all reboot randomly several times a day since the 8.0 update!

I spoke to Samsung yesterday they are not interested in placing a fix all they advise you to do is take the phone to a Service Centre to be looked at I advised I am not happy with this and they advised they were sorry but that is all they could do for me right now. I don't believe they want to believe it is there software causing the issue they want to believe it is a fault with your device.  transcript of chat below I must say he was very polite and aplogetic but Service Centre is all that was advisd.

12:33:52Thanks you it is an issue that is not just affecting me there are a few intances of it on the commuity

*****

12:36:50Thank you for that information, Harty2018. Since you have already performed the Factor reset on your device which is our last to resolved most of the software issue, what we can do here in our end is to search a nearest Samsung service centre within your area so that our engineers can extensively inspect your device, would that be okay? May I have your post, please?

Harty2018

12:38:10I can't be without my phone while it is sent away if is not just my phone doing it so it is clearly a software issues that needs patching

*****

Harty2018

12:43:30I understand that I am not happy with that outcome this is likely to cost and I don't have a car so am not able to just get to a service centre, if it was just my device that was expirencing the issue I would be ok with it but it is not

*****

12:46:37I truly understand your frustration, Harty2018. Please allow me to explain that our engineers need to inspect your device so that we can have a further detail on what really is happening on the device if it's really a software problem.

Harty2018

12:49:08I am not happy I am sorry but with the info I have given you it is clearly something with the software if it was only my device then I would think I may be a hardware issue I feel I will wait untill you have enought tickets rasing the issue so you can clearly see my point then allow your software engineers to take a look if that fail and the update does not fix the issue I will look in to getting it looked at at a Service Centre

*****

12:53:08I truly understand your point, Harty2018. However, what we can do right now for you here in our end is to search a nearest service centre for you or book your device for collection so that your device will get repaired. Alternatively, in regards with this query you can send us your feedback about this matter. would that be fine with you?

Harty2018

12:55:33I am not sending it away that is not happening so your enginners could protentionlly cause more damage causes me to have to claim on the issurance I have with my network to get a replacement. I will await further updates and go from there as I strongly feel it is not my device very strange it is only happening after the Oct 1st update.

*****

12:57:53I'm really sorry if you feel that way about our engineers, Harty2018. Rest assured that I will raise this feedback of yours to our relevant team so that this matter won't cause more issue on the future update.

Harty2018

12:59:10Thanks you it is not just your engineers I have had thinks sent away before and it ethier comes back with the same issue or further damaged so I don't trust any Service Centres not just yours

13:02:31Aside from this, is there anything else that I can help you with?

Harty2018

13:02:37Thanks I am sorry I am being a tough customer but I strongly believe the software needs looking at before someone takes my phone apart thats all

I did a factory reset, formatted and then tested my SD card, reïnstalled everything and it worked for one day. Now it's rebooting again.

No way i am driving half an hour to some service center. I am thinking of buying a Nokia.

Rang the helpline number and they didn't even know there was a problem with our phones. I told them they should read here to see there is a load of us with the same restarting problem. All she could say was do a hard reset or clear cache which i told her i have done plenty of times before even calling. So atm looks bad for us J3 2017 owners thinking on going to Iphone

This is so stupid. 

 

Maybe we could make some kind of online petition?

By the way, how often and when do your devices restart? Mine only does it when running games online. I'm using it now, it can use chrome fine, but when I load up a game it starts restarting. I'm worried that I might need to get a new phone. 

 

I have a few ideas, if we all could try to push samsung to do what happened on the older phones that had this problem - stop updating the phones and fix the update.

 

We could make a petition, bother the support lines, or get the samsung/android news sites to write articles on it. If anything we should all start to apply pressure. Samsung can't afford for their sales to get hit, right?

Hi again, just sent an error report to Samsung via Samsung Members detailing my research, and info and a link to this thread, did also spot an interesting article on the notices section. Says the update may be halted for an "emergency fix" so that could be in our favour seeing as it wouldn't be their first. If you want you can get to Samsung Members by going to settings>about phone>contact us and then go through the processes then go to notices in the menu, you can view the info on J3 Oreo or you could use the app to send an error report too.

By changed the phone do you mean you got a new phone that does it from the go? If so send it back and complain.
