Razer Phone restarts or reboots by itself

| Answer ID: 2017
These are the steps on how to resolve an issue with the Razer Phone rebooting or restarting on its own.

 

If the Razer Phone restarts itself without any prompt, this issue is likely caused by incompatible apps or bugs in previous versions of the software that have since been fixed through updates. To fix this, do the following:

Note: Ensure the phone is sufficiently charged. You may also keep the device plugged in throughout the whole troubleshooting process.

  1. Boot the Razer Phone to safe mode.

  2. Observe the device for up to 24 hours to see if the issue persists. If the phone works normally under safe mode, the issue is due to a third-party application. Consider uninstalling the app that you last downloaded before the issue appeared.

    To boot to safe mode, do the following:

    For Android Version 9 (Pie)

    After the reboot, the words “Safe mode” will be labeled on the bottom of the screen.
