For the past few months every few week my phone will freeze and shortly after reboot automatically. Is it possible that a poorly written app could cause this? I havent changed the system software on my phone since i bought it so the only thing i have updated is apps so wondering if one of these could be a cause. Not a malicous just a poorly written legit app. It doesnt happen when using any particilar app, its random but i know alot of apps are always running in the background
Weirdly though when it happens the device uptime doesnt reset to zero, and only if i reboot manually does this happen. So not sure if its a different type of reboot as its not reseting the counter. I do get the whole Samsing/O2 screen though so know its done it
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes, they most definitely can.
It's not a full reboot that happens either, which is why the counter isn't reset.
Most likely it will be the system UI crashing and when it restarts it goes through the normal start up routine.

Cheers for that. Im beginning to think updating apps isnt worth the time and effort. A few times ive updated different apps and they have introduced wakelocks, battery drain or in this case reboots.

A lot of apps are updated to work in conjunction with os updates ie marshmallow and ios 9.3 but can then give issues with older software. Finding the app causing the problem is the main thing.
