Where is auto restart setting?
I have Verizon Wireless service.
Ideally, I'd like to reboot restart phone automatically say once a week.
 
Good luck finding it being on Verizon. This was discussed the other day in another topic. It's one of the things Verizon took away I guess. Oh well. Doesn't take much to hit the power button. I do it every night.

Not sure about the auto restart, but I just press the power button for a couple of seconds and choose restart.
 
Nice screen shot, are on Verizon if so how about showing 2 or 3 steps before you get here.

My note 8 is the first Samsung I've owned, and i got it last Friday. During my many, and continuing, travels around this device i knew I'd seen that feature, lol. So i went into Settings and used the search feature at the top of the screen.

Here's a pic. I mention this cos you've apparently got a branded phone and mine's factory unlocked, so this may be the best way for you to establish whether your phone has this feature.

I'm on Verizon so I don't have this feature but agree it would be useful. I have just begun playing around with Bixby and the quick commands and one of the first ones I created is called "Good morning, Bixby". When I say this in the morning (after saying "Hi Bixby" to activate the voice prompt) Bixby does the following in sequence:

Turns off the Do not disturb
Shows days calendar
Shows reminders
Shows today's weather
Restarts phone

I'm still working on tweaking this but it did work this morning. When Bixby hears "Restart phone" it prompts you verbally say "restart" to get it do reboot. So if you use Bixby you could just say "Hi Bixby" and then "Restart phone." Not quite the automated thing you were looking for but if combined with some other daily (weekly) tasks it's a least a head-fake in that direction! As much as I love Verizon, they really do some annoying stuff.
