Over on the official Samsung boards there is over 20 pages with people having this problem.

Some people have returned their phones 2 or 3 times for new ones and are still having the same problem.

According to the board Samsung IS AWARE of the problem and looking into it. It has also been reported on some major tech sites which is not good news for Samsung.

it sound no good for samsung to do things like that. hope that is not a motherboard issue like LG Devices.

Random restarts

S8 plus tmobile

No Sd card

Problem persists in safe mode

Problem persists after factory reset from recovery with no user apps installed

Battery usage shows multiple breaks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dzikas:
Yes! 128g from previous Note Edge---worked fine. Now I'm thinking its the culprit. But I dunno.

I have been having random card recognition issues. The icon will randomly show up in notifications as tho Ive just mounted it and asking if I want to trnsfer media files. Also, apps I've moved there sometimes take overlong to "wake up". ie they are greyed-out for a minute or so. I dont think thats normal. Also, I listen to podcasts incessantly, and the downloads dont seem to ACTUALLY save to card and are saved to internal, despite my player settings to the contrary!

So, yeah, I'm pretty concerned with the random restarts. Theyre happening every hour or more!!! After reading here, I'm even more concerned that its not fixable.

Ive just umounted my card, and having the phone do ANOTHER backup restore, and use the phone without card to see...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LizBiz:
You can add my phone to the restart issue...

Just a very simple issue. My phone reboots when it wants to not when I have asked it. I've talked to Samsung Premium and they knew nothing so I am getting another phone sent to me. We'll see if it is fixed. I have read from one other that they got another phone and it was still rebooting. [shrug]:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Pushwall:
Yes, this happens to me too. I've had a 256GB micro SD in since I got the phone. The random reboots started happening once I moved my photo directory and some of my bigger apps from internal memory to external. I had to do this since my prior phone, a Galaxy S6, had a whopping 128GB internal memory and I had a ton of apps, pictures, and videos on it,....whereas this Galaxy S8+ only has a measly 64GB internal. I'll live with this problem for now until Samsung fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dzikas:
Yes. And greyed out and missing apps that were moved onto card (PNY 128g).

Ive taken out card now and BU/restored and now no issues. But, this isnt a solution! I want the ability to have external storage!!

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

Soooo....no issues now after unmounting card, and using w/o card for more than a day. Not a solution though. Hope issue gets addressed, I want external storage!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Rich0047s8plus:
My s8 plus just rebooted itself for first time today since I received it on launch day or about 2 weeks. I did use the smart switch to transfer all of my data over from my s7 edge. Can you elaborate further on what I need to do to check this out before it becomes a bigger problem? I also do not have a micro card in my phone.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] solarin82:
I have the same problem. I sent it back for another, and I have the same problem again, I rage ...

I do not have a SD card. I have an equinox so the problem does not come from the snapdragon.

There is still a small difference with my first phone, it is that there it locks before restarting, while before it restarted without locking.

I tried everything to locate the problem but with no result.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Lamppost95:
Mine too

Last week sometime, I wanna say after the most recent software update, my s8 started doing the random restarts. I'd be listening to Spotify and all of a sudden the music cut out. I'd look down to see "Samsung" across the screen as it reboot. Still better than my s4 (my previous phone).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infobits:
Dang, my USA T-Mobile S8 started rebooting itself randomly as of last evening when I plugged it into its fast charger adapter. I walked away for a few minutes and came back to see the Android rebooting icon. After which it said I must enter my PIN code as all iris and finger print or facial unlock functions are disabled after reboot until your PIN code is entered to unlock it first. I unlocked it and let it finish rebooting and went to sleep. This morning again it was in the rebooted condition and I had to enter PIN to unlock it. I used the phone all day today using Google GPS for driving directions... in the middle of the GPS navigation it again rebooted out of nowhere.

Again a few hours later while I was taking pictures, it crashed and rebooted again. Dang! I get home and started saving my pictures off the 128GB microSD card I have installed in it. I started sending some of the pics in Hangouts and bam, it rebooted again just now. I never had this reboot issue before applying the latest "Red Tint fix" update so I wonder if it is related to the that most recent update.

I plan on contacting Samsung Store (where I pre-ordered my T-Mobile S8 from) and asking for a replacement phone. I do have the slight red tint especially at the left and right edges of my screen even after the "Fix" update. So I am not feeling good about this right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Rich0047s8plus:
2nd random reboot in a few days apart.

My phone was fine for exactly 2 weeks until Friday. Then the 1st reboot happened. Now the 2nd just happened a few minutes ago. It flashed my AT&T app quit working right before the restart. What is going on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infobits:
My T-Mobile S8 started randomly rebooting on me a couple of nights ago too. I thought it might be related to the external Sandiisk Ultra 128GB micro SD card getting file corruptions and causing the reboots but after checking the files on the card, they are all just fine. So it is not my micro SD card. However, I did install a weather app called "Realtime Weather" that I recall the day that the reboots started happening all of a sudden. There was a widget it installed too called Rainy Weather which I put on my home screen. Yesterday, I uninstalled that app and today, so far, I've not had any more random reboots. So I will keep watching to see if it will still reboot out of nowhere after uninstalling that app. If it reboots again, I will report back here. So far, so good though. So everyone having random reboots, try to remove any recent apps you might have installed before the reboots started happening. I'm not saying that's the cause for sure, but so far, I've not had a reboot today where before I would have had several random reboots already.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kmccuien:
I've had the same issue since I bought mine on 4/30. Standard S8 T-Mobile. However I can confirm my issue DEFINITELY relates to the SD card problem. Had a 128gb Samsung card, used in both my prior S7 and S7 Edge phones with no problems. So before last Friday 5/5 I had taken out the card before formatting and everything worked fine. Put the card back in after formatting and moving my content to my PC, reboots started again. Since I took out the card on 5/5 for good I've had no reboot issues. Before then my phone would restart 5-15 times a day. They need to send a software patch asap.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Rich0047s8plus:
Yeah, I went and deleted a few of the apps I recently downloaded. I think it might have something to do with 3rd party apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] heroheroz:
I removed the app Wave Weather Widget and no more starting for me... Hope this help...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Xealot42:
I had a restarting S8+ as well with a brand new 128GB Samsung sd card. I think my issues were sd card related (it was constantly mounting/unmounting, reformatting and reinserting did nothing, only not putting any data on the card "solved" the issue).

Reading through the massive thread on the Samsung forums there seem to be a few issues causing restarts:

1) SD cards

2) Smart Switch/cloud syncing of apps/data from old phones

3) Certain weather widgets
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ArtJB067:
I am having the same issue. Just purchased the unit two days ago. And before I even installed any apps it was doing this.. it happens very often. I am a Verizon customer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Xealot42:
Did you transfer any app data over from a previous phone? Like with Samsung's Smart Switch app?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] acjei:
Hello all,

I got my S8 exactly 2 weeks ago and it was fine until last night. It just started freezing and restarting on it own. It did it about 8 times last night. This morning it did it again. I called tmobile and the dude had me wipe the cache. 15 min later it froze and restarted again. Mind you I don't have an SD card unlike most of yall that seem to have the same issue. And I did not sync any data from my previous phone. So everything on my S8 was from scratch.

I did a factory reset earlier today and that did not help. It's still doing the same thing. Getting a replacement sent to me but probably won't have it until Monday. I hope the replacement will not have this same issue.

Has anyone that got a replacement phone still have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] evo4g63t:
From what I gather it seems to be a sleep issue apparently installing wake lock and preventing the phone from going into deep sleep stopped the problem for some.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] acjei:
after I did my factory reset I disabled the fingerprint and pin # to unlock it and it seemed to be not freezing/restarting as much but it still did restart a couple times
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] nollert:
I turned off all biometrics (no phone security) and set my timeout to 5 minutes. Screen does not lock up quickly now. For me it's all tied to the biometrics. If you have that turned on, it times out in 5 seconds no matter what your security settings are.

My s8 is also restarting itself since 2 days did u got the solution how to contact samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Pushwall:
The Samsung update I installed 2 days ago from Verizon has stopped my rebooting problem. So far my phone has been rock solid, and I've added back all the features I thought were causing the problem (weather widget, iris scanner on lock screen, camera photo saving on SD card, etc.). There's been no more freezing, rebooting, or SD card error messages.

The update I installed was: NRD90M.G955USQU1AQEF

I'll report back if I see any more problems.

Samsung S8+ SM-G955F Locking Up! & Restarting.

I have had my New S8+ for about 2wks now. Starting locking/freezing up and then always Restarts the Device. Started a few days after I got it. Thought it might be a App causing it. Tried Safe mode and monitored it but makes no difference. It's a Uk SM-955F. Stock android no updates. Would ask if others exp. The same, but it appears to a widespread problem.! May have to send it back, but would prefer not to and try sort it out. Cuz I've heard users who have exchanged their device only to find it still happens on the new handset. Any Solutions?? Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Hmdutch:
I have got the same issue s8+ on Vodafone UK

But what I have noticed is that it only really happens when I'm outside and the phone gets cold like for example today I walked to the gym and on the way there it froze and rebooted once and on the way back twice but now I have been at home for about 3 hours and it hasn't happened once I really think it's a hardware issue rather then a software one

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tonytone310:
Alright, well I was looking around for a bit and never found a direct thread that had the correct code. I said EF it and contacted T-Mobile and two days later, voila. The phone was my moms and met the requirements for the code, and I used her account online when messaging them for the code. No hassle west so ever. I'm sure with a little thinking you could do the same.

Now if the code is all the models, or device specific, but below is the screenshot of the code plus directions. It did unlock m phone but still having issues with the sim registration. Good luck to y'all and hopefully I'll figure it all out soon.

Quick question: to U.S.A residents

If i buy from Gearbest i'll have to pay any customs fee?

If yes, anyone have a idea of how much it be?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Customs fees vary a lot thanks to variables. If it comes through DHL Express, expect to pay $25 on top of whatever the Customs and Brokerage are. Sometimes things do come through without any major fees but that seems to be getting more rare with every passing year. Although I can't say for sure based on variables like couriers. I'd say, on average, expect about $40 to $50, if you get charged, and that is before any of the courier fees are slapped on top of that.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] tlxxxsracer:
Ive bought from Gearbest and banggood.. Neither site have I had to pay custom fees. They usually mark the value of the package as $20 or something and say its an MP3 player or camera..

Just pay for the shipping insurance or shipping with tracking. Itll cover you even if it costs a bit extra
[Touch Cruise Accessories] martint235:
I'm expecting my TC to arrive any day now but could someone who already has one let me know if the stylii from the original Touch will fit the TC please?

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Accessories] JNGold:
I asked that question to someone who has both devices. The answer was "no", that the Touch stylus is shorter and the head on it is larger. It fits in the silo but it would stick out bad at the end.
[Touch Cruise Accessories] JulianL:
I suspect that a stylus for an Artemis would be a better match but whether it would fit a TC still needs someone to verify. The Artemis is closer to the overall TC form factor than the Touch.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cricketgirl90:
With all the s8 and s8+ reviews finally out.. how many of you feel s7 edge is still a better phone? Yeah cameras are slightly better and in most cases that's enough reason to upgrade but I don't have any complains regarding current camera performance. I really really really like the screen of s8 but that fingerprint scanner location seems pretty annoying...

Although m very tempted to upgrade but the voice of reason says stick with s7e edge...

Anyone with me?

I use this phone for both work and pleasure. So it needs comfort. In my opinion, I do not need to upgrade to s8 because there are some things that make me uncomfortable especially the location of the fp scanner

- Screen quality good even though PPI not as good as the older Note 10.1 2014 edition. Perhaps better graphics processing. Screen very fast and responsive

Should have got the sm-t825y version , supports umts 3g also, same bands as the sm-t819y.

Doesnt look like samsung is in any rush to sell the US spec lte 4g version here.

Im gonna wait til the sm-t825y is more freely available then perhaps sell my sm-t819y. Same bands, plus makes voice calls too, which im sure usa version will be disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] teflon79:
does the sm-t825c have phone capabilities?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] volcolm:
Canada was the first to get the S3

We'll probably be the last to get the S3 LTE (or perhaps not at all). Eh, it might be for the best anyway.

I've tended to use my phones as a hotspots lately because of this (not having LTE or cell variants of tablets/laptops up here) but also due to battery life being better on my phones just using them as hotspots (practically naked of apps running in the background) vs. using them by themselves with apps + cellphone data (because as long as the phone is connected to network apps call home with phone off). This also causes other devices to not eat as much battery, because once the Internet's off completely, nothing will consume battery in the background. I don't like turning on/off Airplane mode all the time just to save some battery, and can't control other "features" I don't need (or can't turn off, like default apps background push data) unless rooted, but I want Netflix so gotta be chaste.

I'd like to see some battery stats on LTE vs WiFi versions, due to the nature of always-on apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] meowone:
Yes, it does. Unfortunately, it doesn't have US LTE bands (besides band 5). But HSPA+ is pretty good though on T-Mobile in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] teflon79:
I was reading the info on it on Amazon, the info can be misleading there then. It states quote on quote "This model provides for LTE connectivity on all GSM networks throughout the globe. No support for CDMA though (Sprint, Verizon, etc.) "
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] meowone:
I think the information on all the current seller sites are inaccurate, they are all copy and paste from the generic spec of the SM-T825 model. I think most of the LTE version seller on eBay and Amazon is selling the SM-T825C model, which is the "Chinese/HK" version of the tablet without proper US LTE band support. It does support US GSM Bands for calling and data.

The SM-T825Y model, while it's the common model in the SE Asia Region (Singapore, Philippines...etc) and Europe, supports T-Mobile US LTE bands (2,4). However, I have yet to find a seller in the US (or ships to the US) that inidicate that they are selling the Y version besides a company called ETOREN. So you probably ned to wait a while until the Y version becomes more common.

Would have been nice to get a Y version, but I guess I will just have to work around the LTE part with my hotspot if I need the speed :P.
