Auto Restart Function Missing

Has anyone touched the box area I show below. Sometimes Samsung has this kind of setting, but if you tap the words it opens a pop up that you can set a schedule or other options.

I know it's a long shot, but you never know. One can hope. I'm sure some have already tried it

It just turns the option off.

Re: Idiotic

Interesting. I respectfully disagree. It seems like more and more modern PCs and workstations need scheduled or regular reboots to clear small errors and allow security and software updates to function correctly. I'm sure the phone doesn't need weekly updates but maybe monthly are not a bad idea. Or anytime you have an issue. Just my thoughts.

Those devices will let you know when a restart is required after an update, and if there's nothing acting up, why restart otherwise?

Obviously, if youre having issues, then you can always manually restart the phone.
 
Re: Idiotic

Windows PCs and phones processors don't carry out instructions in the same way... they don't address memory in the same way and so their operating systems function completely differently. It's very basic computer science...

Ah, I see we are splitting hairs here. Ok.

Honestly, I think it's just a background thing. Although obviously I don't actually know what yours is.

These distinctions may seem trivial, but if you've got any ICT experience they are actually extremely important.
 
Re: Idiotic

I have a tab s7 the auto restart when it needs to isn't working properly on mine and to a manual restart after the update takes multiple times finely comes up within 20 - 30 minutes

Welcome to AC!
A manual reset shouldn't take 30 minutes, try going into recovery and clear cache and see if it clears that bug out for manually resetting
 
Here to add my voice to Samsung removing the option to schedule a reboot.

I don’t get why those who think it’s unnecessary (because they have “no problems”) can’t understand why others might need it. There are those of us who really do a LOT of things on their phones throughout the day and a nightly reboot ensures that the device/system is fresh for the next day’s work. I had no idea they removed this feature until my phone started behaving poorly. I have MULTIPLE apps open throughout the day and switch between them constantly. As with ALL computing devices whether they be sitting on a desk, a lap, or in a hand, things begin to get a little weird after a while. THAT is why a simple nightly refresh (i.e., a restart) makes it so that I NEVER have to worry about my device behaving badly at inopportune times. That’s what the “just reboot it when you need to” crowd doesn’t understand. If you’re trying to do something quickly, such as working with a client, it is not only time consuming, but also EMBARRASSING to have to say something like, “Oh, I’m sorry. But, can you wait a couple of minutes for me to restart my phone?”

I just don’t get how some people can think their experience with their device is the exact same for everyone else out in the world. We all use our phones differently and some of us are VERY heavy (sometimes called “power") users. This is yet another case of “how does it affect you in any way for me to have an option that you might not use or even know about?” It’ such an innocuous feature, as well. It’s not like we're asking for some sort of esoteric function that radically alters the base architecture of the operating system itself. We just want to restart our phones…when WE want to.

Oh, sure, go ahead and throw in that automatic restart feature for those that don’t want to deal with it. Oh, yeah. I can’t wait to see people complaining about their phones restarting at inopportune times (or not restarting enough, if Samsung has fudged the function toward the cautious end) and then having to manually log in and wait for their apps to fire up, thus turning what was expected to be a few second interaction into a minute long or more affair. But I digress…

Just bring the feature back, Samsung. I wonder if they had to remove it because it somehow messed with the Auto Optimization feature. I don’t see why it would. But I’m not a programmer. I just wish next time Samsung would listen to its users and beta testers. Fat chance, I’m sure… 😘

Pretty big assumption that the people saying it isn't really an issue aren't in the power user crowd, buddy.

Weekly or daily reboots are not needed anymore. Like previous posters have said, that is a holdover from years ago when regularly rebooting your device made a difference. Nowadays, it seems like a solution in search of a problem. Android has come a long way over the past several years.

Yeah only time I'm rebooting for software or security update

With the update to Android 13, the setting or function that allowed me to have my phone do an 'Auto Restart at a set time' seems to have disappeared from the Settings, or it got moved and I can't find it. Does anybody know anything about this?
Samsung S22+ running Android 13.
Thanks,
