    Replace your battery.

    Your phone is 2 years old.

    Phone batteries are typically designed to last around 2 years before they really degrade because a lot of people buy new ones around every 2-3 years.

    When the battery can’t sustain the same throughput, the phone can handle this in one of two ways.

    1. Slow the phone down. This is what Apple does and why people with iPhones 2 years old complain the new update slowed their phone down.

    2. Don’t slow it down but if the throughput drops below what’s needed, die and reboot. This is what your phone is doing.

    Getting a new battery will probably stop this behavior (and for iPhone users reading this, getting a new battery for a 2 year old phone will make your phone faster).

    Edit: Seems some of you don’t believe me looking at the downvotes. Look at number 8 in this list: https://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/why-your-android-phone-keeps-restarting-and-9-ways-to-fix/

      I have an s22 ultra as well, and it’s fine? Sounds more like they have some rogue apps causing the restart.

        Half life is typically probabilistic.

        You were lucky. They were not.

          My phone is 3 years old and is still going strong. The battery feels the same to me as the day I bought it, but I also don’t consume a full battery in a day.
