Tablet S6 Lite freeze and reboots.

[RPGVince]

Hello,
I have been using my S6 Lite tablet for about 2 years (so no warranty left), and it started freezing and then rebooting at every moments.

I checked that it had the latest update.
I removed most the apps and the SD card, tried it in safe mode and then did a factory reset .. it still freezes and reboots. It also fails to reboot some time getting stuck at the first black and white Samsung screen until I force another reboot.

Any idea what it could be? I am looking at a hardware issue or a Operating system issue?

If it is an operating system issue, I could install a lineage OS to try to save it, should I try?

Model: SM-P610
Android version 13
One UI version 5.1.1

Hi, I've been using my S6 Lite since 2020 and just in these days it randomly locks and then restart ...😔

I though it was some app causing the fault, so I set it in Safe mode (turn off the tablet, then press power on + Vol down) and remove some apps (Samsung browser, Google cloud ...) ... and the following restart I had the same problem: it sometimes happens while using youtube, sometimes while reading the mail ... so at the end I faced the same issues you saw ... also for me a factory reset didn't solve the issue ...

So I decide to install Lineage OS for my tablet S6 Lite Wifi (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gta4xlwifi/) => the installation worked perfectly, the tablet is still working (also the pen works) but it sometimes still locks and restarts ... In conclusion: I think it's an HW problem not related with OS installed on, I don't know if it's a battery issue because the issue appears with battery at 100% and sometimes at 75 % ...

Yeah, sadly I'm pretty sure it is hardware related. 
I was looking at another S6 Lite for a replacement, but I'm a but skittish considering this one barely worked 2 years.

.... after installing LineageOS and charging the tablet from scratch (literally from 0) I only had 2 tablet restarts ... Let's see later how it behaves after installing new apps ... let's hope so!

After a few days of use, during which I installed several apps, I highly recommend installing lineage os. No restart, faster tablet and greater ease of use having a stock Android ROM on top. On the other hand, many apps developed by Samsung can no longer be installed ("This app won't work for your device" from Google Play Store) except a few among which are Samsung Browser and PENUP.

In any case, the tablet's operation has definitely improved, even using it with a battery charge < 50% while before I often had restarts in the same condition.

Ah, I just performed an update to Lineage OS 22.1 directly from the tablet and in addition it is running Android 15 while before it was stuck at Android 13
