Hi all,
Hope somebody can shed some light on this issue I'm facing. All your input will be very much appreciated.
I purchased this S7 Edge DUOS (Dual sim version) around 8 weeks ago. Around 3 weeks into my ownership, I've started facing a persistent issue which I've tried to resolve with the best of my knowledge but unfortunately I haven't succeeded.
Randomly the phone will freeze for around 5 to 10 seconds and then restart. Sometimes a pixelated set of lines would appear across the screen when it freezes, a lot of the times they are green.
When the phone does reboot and I return back to the main screen, everything is back to normal and the apps I was using remain opened in the background, so it's not a proper reboot.
There is no such pattern on when this happens, it happens while being used on any app and a lot of the times it reboots while the phone is in my pocket. The only reason I realise is because the phone will be on the startup lock screen.
Battery life seems okay, nothing seems to be draining the battery. Although sometimes it does get hot and drains it temporarily.
I have cleared cache partition, done a factory reset and deleted third party apps. Nothing has resolved the issue. When I did the factory reset, the phone didn't crash for a good few days then started doing it again.
I just cannot work out what it may be and it's getting really frustrating!
I really hope somebody can shed some light on this, I am trying to avoid going down the return route.
Many Thanks in advance for all your help.
