Samsung S5 randomly restarting

[messagetyper]

I've been noticing that my S5's been rebooting more than usual. Why does it keep restarting? Faulty battery? SD card messing it up?

It could be a poor battery connection, among other possibilities. Let's try to eliminate them one by one, starting with that.

Can you also provide us with your Android version? And are you rooted?

Nope, not rooted and I'm still at 5.0.

I see, and as Belodion mentioned, there are a few possibilities. The first step would be eliminating the battery.

1. Inspect it closely with cover removed, see if there are any noticeable issues.

2. Remove the battery, inspect for discoloration around the copper contacts on both the battery, and the contacts on the phone. Clean with pencil eraser if needed, then with dry cloth, careful to blow it out after, leaving no particles behind from cloth or pencil.

3. If possible, buy a replacement battery, or borrow one, to see if issue exists.

Try these things, and Let us know. We'll then move to the next phase of troubleshooting.
