sober4life Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've had problems with my phone before. With all technology I try to reboot it before I give up on it. It seems like all technology goes wacky from time to time and needs to be rebooted in some way. Wow I looked it up and it says you might have to do a factory reset. I don't know how to do that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoricuaGato Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The fact it turns on, boots up, and runs for a bit before crashing suggests a heat issue. The processor is getting too hot and shutting off most of the cores to protect itself, or the RAM is. Check carefully to see if gunk has worked its way into any of the little vent slots. If you can, open the phone all the way to the motherboard. Often lint will form a glob between the camera electronics and the processor, since that is a weak spot in the case design. It could also be the battery. As batteries age, they create more heat, which creates more resistance, which creates more heat. A replacement battery may help. A trip to your local cell phone repair place for a new battery and a spritzing out with an air can and it might be as good as new. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Yeah that's a good point. I thought my phone was toast months ago. I figured out all I have to do is blow into the hole where the power cord goes every once in a while and clean out the dust build up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
