Galaxy S8+ is the latest flagship model of the South Korean company and there’s no wonder that it become quite popular these days.

This time I want to tell you more about how to solve the Galaxy S8+ device that keeps rebooting issue. I know how worried you must be with your phone that keeps on rebooting every hour or so, yet don’t you imagine that this is just happening to you.

There are plenty of users who also report the phone’s apps being moved around after the phone restarts; others claim that their phone shuts itself down, only to never turn back on, not to mention all those users trapped into this never-ending restarting cycle, turning off and back on every several minutes, forcing the owner to factory reset the device.

  • If the problems persist the next stage is to hard reset the device. This restores the original factory settings and will delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloads, ringtones, apps, images, contacts, Visual Voicemail and more. That is why you must back up data on the internal memory and if you have signed into a Google account on the device, you have activated Anti-theft and will need your Google credentials to finish the Master reset.
