Auto Restart Disabled

[komobu]

I saw in some videos that you could set up your S8 to automatically reboot itself at say 3am every week to keep it running crisp. I went to set it up and I dont have that feature in my set up. I am thinking that Verizon disabled it. Could you check to see if you have it? Run Set Up ->Personal-> then the bottom menu of Back Up and Reset.

I am disappointed that it is not available for me. Any work arounds without rooting?

One of the many features Verizon says you don't need

Oh man! I didn't even know that was a thing! I loved that from my old blackberries. Stupid Verizon

Have you tried this:

It supposedly does what you are seeking.

Thanks...but it says "Root" is required. I would really rather not root my phone.

You shouldn't need to reboot your phone. as soon as you do android loads the memory back up with cache'd software. Keep the tabs in chrome to a minimum and your phone will practically reset itself to a zero state when left alone.

I feel you should restart your phone from time to time. It only takes a minute or so to manually restart, so that's not to much of a problem.

The real problem is Verizon, or any carrier for that matter, disableling features that the phone was designed to come with.
