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
