When your smartphone keeps restarting on its own, it can disrupt calls, delete app progress, and make your device unreliable. At CellPhoneRepairStore.ca, we help Edmonton users diagnose and repair random reboot issues for iPhone, Samsung, Motorola, and all major brands.
What Causes a Phone to Restart Randomly?
Several issues can trigger unexpected reboots:
1. Battery or Power IC Failure
A weak battery, loose connection, or damaged power IC can cause your device to shut down and restart repeatedly.
2. Faulty or Corrupted Apps
Some apps conflict with system software, especially after updates.
3. Overheating
Heat forces smartphones to reboot to protect internal components.
4. Software Bugs or Failed Updates
Incompatible OS updates or corrupted firmware may cause boot loops.
5. Damaged Internal Components
After a drop or water exposure, loose connectors or board-level damage may lead to instability.
Signs Your Device Needs Professional Repair
- Restarts when opening apps
- Phone shuts down randomly at 20–40% battery
- Device heats up before rebooting
- Stuck in a boot loop (logo → restart → logo)
- Freezing during calls, gaming, or charging
If your phone shows any of these, technicians can quickly identify whether the issue is battery-related or caused by hardware failure.
Fast Fixes You Can Try at Home
Before coming in, try these simple steps:
1. Remove Problematic Apps
Uninstall recently added apps that may be causing conflicts.
2. Update Your OS
Software patches fix bugs that can trigger random restarts.
3. Check Your Charging Cable
Faulty or cheap chargers can cause unstable power—learn more on our cable safety blog at Break2Fix.ca.
4. Free Up Storage Space
Low storage can slow the system and cause unexpected reboots.
If the issue continues, the problem is likely hardware-related.
