Restarting my S7

[scotiez]

Hey everyone, I am new to Samsung and Android. I used to have Iphone and Windows phone. I received my Galaxy S7 on March 8th, so i have now had this for just over 2 weeks. I was wondering if having to restart my phone at least once a week is common practice. I have had to do this twice now cause things just seemed to start to run funny, or sluggish some would say. I don't know if this is phone or android related. When i had Iphone or Windows phone i only had to restart about once a month, and sometimes not even then. I love the Samsung Galaxy s7, I think its the best phone i have ever had. I was just wondering if restarting once a week or so is common. Please let me know your experiences.
Thanks.

I've had to do a couple of restarts since I got the phone. It seams to be related to updates normally I wouldn't restart my phone at all.

The only time my phone has been sluggish in the past few weeks is while I had the Dunkin Donuts app installed. Believe it or not that one app cause major problems with the phone. Once I uninstalled it I have not had to restart my phone at all.

I seem to get app updates almost everyday. That does not seem to affect my phones performance. I have had one software update last week and it did restart then. I do not have the dunkin donuts app. My apps consist of banking, and one drive, one note. I do have facebook but i rarely use it. And i close all my apps quite often.

Bwaaahahaha... Dunkin' Donuts app lagging a phone...sounds about right. After I eat a dozen cream filled with sprinkles, I'm lagging too.

It would depend on how you are using the phone... I had to restart and force close apps on my iPhone 6s Plus at least once a day , otherwise it got buggy. Of course I have to restart my s7 edge as well... Not a big deal.

I restarted one time, for sluggishness, it was after update. I have had my phone since the 8th and No other problems.

I restart once a day. Don't see it as any type of hassle or issue. Takes little time or effort. Never have any issues or laggyness. Do this with all my phones, same for computers, not a big deal to me. So once a week is nothing.

Don't.

I'm not saying this is your problem, but let Android manage your apps and memory like it's designed to do. Closing apps to "free up memory" won't help, and can make things worse.
