For some time now my non-rooted tab s 10.5 is randomly shutting down or rebooting. This happens 'out of the blue' so no warnings. Sometimes it happens within a minute of starting, but other times i can use it for hours or it will even continue to work for a whole day before it starts again.
At first i thought that it had something to do with the 6.0.1 update that was installed some time ago so i went back to android 5 official software but got the same results. The tablet then updated to 6.0.1 again but same results. Before installing these updates i did a hard reset to avoid having any old data left on the tablet. Also wiping cache partition did not help.
After reading some posts on this and other forums i turned on power saving and that helps a bit, i can use it longer without the resetting or rebooting. If i turn it off again i can wait for it to reset, meaning usually within the hour. Sometimes it happens several times after you just started the tablet, like it has something to do with the processor having too much to do.
The tablet is two years old, anyone having experience with this problem ? Maybe it is the battery but i hate to spend 40 euros if it is something else.
