How to Fix Random Reboots or Shutdown on Galaxy S20, S20+ or S20 Ultra

This clears all the temporary data from the device. And then it works like new.

Simple Reboot or Forced reboot

Well, I think you already know how to restart your phone. So just restart the device and see whether it solves the issue or not. Restarting a device is always the ultimate solution for any issue. Not only Pixel but this applies to each and every electronic device. I used to tell my mom to restart her device if she faces any issue with her smartphone.

Well if you still need to know how to restart then, here is it: Press your phone’s power button. On the screen, tap Restart.

The other way of the reboot is as follows:

• Press and hold the Volume Down button.
• While holding it down, press and hold the Power key.
• Keep the button held for 10 seconds, it will be restarted automatically.

If this doesn’t work then head to the next method.

Rebooting your device regularly at least once every week can be beneficial. If you tend to forget things, we suggest that you configure your phone to reboot on its own. You can schedule it to do this task by doing these steps:

• Open the Settings app.
• Tap Device Care.
• Tap the 3-dot at the top.
• Select Auto restart.

Update to Latest Software

• Open Settings from either the Quick Nav menu or the launcher.
• Go to the More tab, then tap on About device.
• Tap on the Software update.
• If a system update is available, you’ll see the option on the screen. Tap Download and Install.
• If your system is up to date, you will see a message stating that the system is up to date.

That is all. You have successfully checked for a system update on your Samsung Galaxy S20 (Plus) and S20 Ultra.

Here are a few things that are needed to take care of while updating your Samsung Galaxy S20 (Plus) and S20 Ultra or any device:

• Your device should have enough charge, more than 50% to install the update.
