check device care and tap auto optimization and check if "auto reset" is turned on, that's whats causing it to reset when you're not using it.

have you checked if your apps and phone are updated? if not, hold the power button and long press the power off button, tap safe mode and reset your phone. could help identify if bad apps are causing your phone to reset.

Hey @zombiedemon9 and welcome to the Community. I read that you've been having issues with your device randomly restarting and I would be happy to provide you some assistance. First I would advise you to close out any apps that use a lot of battery. Make sure the device is up-to-date and ensure your case isn't against the power button if you have one on. Also disable auto restart on the device.

To do this you must:

Navigate to and open Settings, and then tap Device care.
Tap Auto optimization, then tap Auto restart, and then tap switch next to Restart when needed to disable automatic restarts.

Then attempt to Put the device in Safe Mode to ensure third party apps aren't the cause.

On devices without a dedicated Power button, swipe down from the top right of the screen to open the Quick settings panel.
Tap the Power icon at the top of the screen.
Touch and hold Power off until the Safe mode icon is displayed.
Tap Safe mode to start your device in Safe mode.
If you've entered Safe mode successfully, you'll see “Safe mode” displayed at the bottom of the screen.
See if the device still randomly restarts and exit Safe Mode once you confirm.

Please let me know if this works for you.

S26 ultra freezing and restarting

Rawz71 — Tue, 05 May 2026 22:42:17 GMT

My S26 ultra has been freezing and restarting on its own. I can't be on any app for more than 5 minutes without it just shutting off and restarting itself. Sometimes i wont even be on the phone, it'll be sitting on a table and randomly restart itself. Its been doing this for about 2 weeks now after it updated.

Just guessing see if this helps To fix your S26 Ultra's freezing and restarting, which likely stem from a post-update glitch, start by disabling "Auto restart" in Settings (Device Care). Other effective steps include clearing the app cache, checking for software updates, and performing a force restart (hold Power + Volume Down for 60 seconds

I've done all those things. Multiple times and it's still doing it. Idk. Guess I'll have to wait and see if the next update fixes it

I've had my new S26 Ultra for 2 weeks. For some reason, from time to time, it automatically turns on speech while I type from the Samsung keyboard. When this happens I go onto Settings>Accessibility >Recommended for you and remove this feature. It goes away for a day or two but this behavior returns without my permission. What's a poor boy to do?

I would find a Samsung customer care facility and see if they roll back the update. If stays up long enough backup your files you want. Reset the phone to factory settings.
