7 fixes for a phone that keeps restarting or crashing
Dependence on smartphones can bring about tremendous disappointment and despair when they fail to perform. Considering there are over 2.5 billion active Android devices, it’s not surprising to hear occasional stories on troublesome problems.
Of course, there are reports of annoying third-party app glitches, batteries overheating, or slow performance. Although these problems are usually simple to resolve, the repeated crashing and restarting of an Android leaves the user aggravated and the device of little or no use.
Due to many reasons, such as harmful apps, hardware problems, a cache data issue, or a corrupt system, you may find your Android repeatedly crashing and restarting. This frustrating problem is relatively common. The good news is that not all hope is lost, as various solutions can help get your Android back up and running.
Here are seven fixes you can apply. (Note: Instructions may vary depending on your device model and operating system.)
1. Make sure your Android OS is up to date
You must download and install the most current operating system (OS) updates to keep your device running at its best.

2. Check storage and clear space if needed
