Android Central Question
Good morning,
I have a Samsung A51 (SM-A515F) with Android 11. I have the original Samsung ROM and never changed it.
I have experienced troubles for a couple of weeks : my phone started to freeze and reboot by itself. Sometimes, it was even blocking on "Samsung A51" boot logo (there are 2 boot logo : Samsuns A51 and then Samsung only). I had then to keep pressing "ON" + "volume low" to force restart and it worked. Then after sometimes (couple of minutes or hours) it freezes again and rebooted.
What I did so far :
- shut down wifi : did not solve the problem
- shut down data (4g) : did not solve the problem
- airplane mode : did not solve the problem
- hard reset to wipe out all datas and apps : did not solve the problem even without any applications
At first I though there was a corruption with whatsapp Database or files since it often struggled to synchronize it (daily at 2 am).
Actually even without whatsapp installed, the freezes/reboots occured.
The only way to have a normal usage without reboots is to start in safe mode. then it seems to work.
I suspect that the internal memory is corrupted and when the phone accesses some part of it (reading or writing), it freezes. Am I right ? What other origin could be possible ?
I notice that taking pictures or videos often freezes the phone (the picture is then not obviously not accessible).
How could I solve it ? what do you suggest to try ?
It really annoys me because sometimes it reboots 5 or 10 times in a row since it blocks even when I enter the Sim Code....
Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions.
