Random reboots

[wooky69]

I've had a couple of random reboots over the last few days. Could it be a recent app update? Should I try cleaning the cache partition?

Ideas.

Thanks

Well a "stability update" arrived from Moto today and I've cleared the cache so we'll see

Well annoyingly I went for 18 days without a restart then in the last 12 hours it's rebooted itself twice

Do you voluntarily reboot on your own at least once a day? Continuous uptime can have an adverse effect on phones, computers etc.

Mission critical servers etc. boast of continuous uptime. But their hardware, monitoring, maintenance & servicing are many multitudes of what individuals can do.

While I agree with what you're saying to a point I'd expect a stock modern phone not to need a reboot every day.

I might clear the cache etc

Trust me you have your expectations too high.

Really? I never had to reboot my S3 or S5 more than once s month and they hardly ever crashed. My wife's Moto G3 has been ticking along for 1600 hours and is still swift.

My real world experience is different than yours.

Ok, I'll lower my expectations a little
I'm still going to aim for my reboot cycle to be longer than one charge cycle

It takes 30 seconds to reboot. In the past I've owned the same phone as others I rebooted once a day & after updates. They did not. After 6mos or longer more times than not their phones had random problems mine did not.
