[Q] Random reboots in the device

[amir77a]

Hi,

My daughter is using the i8190.

The device is self rebooting itself, on an unknown basis.

The device was never rooted, and is using the original stock ROM (Android 4.1.2).

Nothing was installed recently.

The main suspect was the availability of free storage, but there is 1.07 Gigs of available storage, which is reasonable.

Another suspect is Whatsapp, in which she gets thousands of messages per day.

Any ideas what can cause those reboots?

Thanks!

It can be a cause of a used battery. Take it out and se if if it wobbles on a flat surface. If it does, replace battery asap.
There can be more reasons for this to happen, but battery is most likely to be your problem since it's not rooted or anything.
Don't know about Whatsapp, but maybe try to remove it a day or two to see if there is any difference.

The battery seems to be just fine.

I'll try to remove whatsapp (and disconnect my daughter from her friends world.. Hahaha..).

Hi

I had the very same problem with my stock ROM (4.1.2 also). Since I rooted and changed ROM I've seen these way less than when running stock.

A fiend's girlfriend had a major issue with her battery, it began to inflate to the point it can't be held on the phone. He bought her a new one and problem solved.

So my conclusion here is that S3 Mini's batteries are defective. They are cheap to replace, though. But now I confirm my suspicions.

The battery seems to be just fine, no visible inflates..

Currently, I've asked my daughter to remove some photos and I'll also remove whatsapp.. and see who the device will work

I would check my battery as I have a similar issue
