Samsung Galaxy S5 crashes all the time

Anonymous

Hi
I've been having real trouble with my Galaxy S5 crashing all the time. I could be viewing bbc news app or looking at a website or just reading my emails and texts. My phone just shutsdown and restarts. It's really annoying.
The guru in O2 shop in Stirling said my apps were interferring with the phone's OS which is a higher spec than the app.
So I tried using it in Safe mode which means I can't use any non Samsung apps or facebook etc. Seems to work but think it's crashed a few times even in safe mode.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Any suggestions to overcome it? Thanks

Take your battery out and check on a flat surface if it is completely flat - Any signs of rocking or if it spins it could be bulging and faulty.

Shameful really - Rather than take the time to properly check the phone they just fob you off with nonsense Don't know

If the battery seems ok then it may still be worth trying another another authentic original battery.

If you bought the phone from O2 and its under 14 days old demand a new replacement.

If it's over 14 days then I'd seek assistance from the uk support site of the manufacturer or the O2 repair service. I'd go with the manufacturer first as they know their hardware and software better.

Either way they'll want the phone and battery to test.

If you've recently performed any software update it is suggested that a hard reset can help with possible glitches. Make a back up first as this procedure can delete saved data.
