I'm starting to get desparate: my tablet (Android 5.1) restarts spontaneously now and then.
It usually happens while playing graphics-intensive games. After a factory reset, followed by careful, stepwise installation of apps, I seemed to have located the culprit: Google Play Services. The restarts appeared only after updating Services to the latest version, after a certain game demanded it.
I then uninstalled the updates, which seemed to abolish the restarts for a few days. I then installed several other games, and now the restarts are back.
I erased the Services cache and wiped the cache partition; to no avail.
Having a non-updated version of Services is annoying in its own right, since many games say "Game won't run unless Google Play Services is updated". Whereupon all I need to do is tap somewhere on the screen, and the message is gone.
What's the meaning of this? Is an updated Services required or not? How will I solve my restart problem? Can I run some debug program that will magically log what goes wrong one second before the tablet crashes? I'm still not 100% sure that it's Services.
Is it possible at all that it's a hardware problem? How can I test this in Safe Mode if everything there is disabled?
