N-series phones someimes restart themselves?

has anyone noticed this at all? Have a brand new N82, few weeks old, no updates or any cahnges made. EU spec model. While surfing yesterday after a heavy nights photo taking (100 pictures and some vids) the phone just restarted during web browsing. came back up and was fine.
Is this a ram issue? I went back to the exact same webpage and tried the same link, worked perfect. so not the web browser itself, must be out of memory type error?
5110, 3210, 3220, 8210, 8850, 7210, 6230i, N73, N95 8gb, E51, N82

It can happen on any phone from any manufacturer.
The exact cause is often unknown but it could be: 
1. An application crash, either a built in app or a 3rd party app.
2. A problem wrinting to the memory card.
3. Unstable network conditions.  It's well known that if the phone is constantly getting a weak signal or switching between 2G and 3G it can become unstable and crash.
4. Faulty hardware.
5. Overheating, lots of use in a warm place can cause a phone to crash.  Some non-nokia's even lock you out from using the phone whilst it cools it's processor down.
6. Poorly fitting battery, a bump can cause the phone to reboot.
7. Too many (or badly designed) apps running in the background using all of the RAM.
8. Certain badly coded websites can crash the browser and phone.
There are probably many other causes and there is no such thing as a phone that doesn't crash!

  • I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.

  • My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

    Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
    Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

  • IBooks updated red 1 indicator by the word purchased. But it doesn't do anything. I've shut down the phone and restarted to no avail. Any suggestions?

    iBooks updated to 3.2 on iPhone 5. Now I have a red 1 indicator by the word purchased. But it doesn't do anything. I've shut down the phone and restarted to no avail. Any suggestions?

    I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
    Latest revision of firefox.
    After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
    I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
    I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

  • N series phones that support FOTA

    Please someone should please list n series phones only that have NSU to updates its software.Thank you and have a nice day.

    Out of curiosity, what are you using this information for? There's no suitable search parameter for NSU in the device specs page (well, there is FOTI and Software Updates, but those values were very rarely marked to the specs data).
    To find devices that don't support FOTA, you could do a reverse search and look for devices that don't contain the FOTA value. See (there's a few other parameters selected as well, like "must have USB"). But of course that list is not equal to devices supporting NSU. You'd have to manually clean up the result list a bit and at least remove any device older than 2005/2006.

  • FaceTime audio causes phone to restart?

    My phone has restarted during the last two FaceTime audio calls I've made. Both happened at about the 20-30 mark, and had a weird "frozen" screen look like if a tv isn't tuned properly to an OTA broadcast signal for a few moments before hard resetting to the white screen and black apple logo. Both calls were over wifi at a hotel.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?  Is it a known issue?  I haven't been able to find any other discussions on this but two times in a row can't be coincidence.

    Sounds like there are random restarts being caused by the latest iOS, as it happened to me today while listening to a podcast and using an app. 
    It may have something to do with the audio because I haven't had this happen when audio wasn't being used. 

  • I dropped my iphone 5,1 week later suddenly my phone was restarted. After that I cannot call or receive messages. What should I do?

    I dropped my iphone 5,1 week later suddenly my phone was restarted. After that I cannot call or receive any messages. I followed all the steps that was sudgested but it is still not working. It cannot recognize my Sim card and when Sim card is in it, IMEI number doesn't shown in settings. I don't understand how it is not possible to repair it when I dropped from 1 meters and even I didn't broke the screen. So, what should I do dear Apple family?

    Hello dilara8,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are seeing multiple issues with your iPhone after a drop. It sounds as though your device may need to be evaluated for service. For more information on this process, please refer to the attached link.

  • Nokia N8 "Phone Will Restart" but didn't

    Hey,
    I got my phone yesterday and it has been absolutely brilliant until now. I unlocked my phone to send a message and on the screen it displayed "Phone Will Restart". I thought nothing of it and clicked 'Ok'. It turned off and back on and just sat with the white screen and Nokia on it, I left it for 10 mins and nothing changed, I held the power button to turn it off and retry but I got the same white screen.
    What can I do?
    P.S. The phone is brand new but the sim card & memory card are 6 years old Whether that has any effect.

    If you want to be sure to have your personal information destroyed, you should try a hard reset before you turn it in.
    If I remember correctly, hard reset for N8 is
    1. turn it off
    2. hold the menu, camera and - keys
    3. Turn it on (but do not let go of the three keys)
    4. let the three keys go only when you see the country selection screen.

  • Nokia N8 "Phone Will Restart"

    I got my new Nokia N8 5 days back and I am so not happy with it. The phone is so fabulous has all you need in it on the first site but after Day 1 , till date I have had more than 7 resets after the message "Phone Will Restart" and has an option for "OK". My phone also goes into a freeze mode once in a day. 
    P.S:- I don't even have much of data in the phone right now , 500 contacts , 30 images , and 76 songs that's it , and still it goes into freeze and reset.
    I am so unhappy being a very old Nokia fan  .. Is there any solution to the problem??? .. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am from India . I got my Nokia N8 3days back. on the second day i really disappointed. I had faced a various problems in my handset(N8). The problems which i faced is "Restart and Hanging". So I went to Nokia care center and upgraded to a new version. On the same day itself I got the same problem along with a new problem. My phone got restarted several times. In one stage it died(Cannot able to start it). So again i went to the care center again the process repeated . Again i came up with a new problem My display keys did not work at all and phone got totally hanged up. Even i cant able to restart it. So, I am really disappointed with this handset. I believe Nokia is seeing this and soon provide a good solution for the problem. I think there is a Bug with Symbian ^3 Os.

  • Just updated my iPhone 5s from ios 8.1 to 8.3. After the install it asked for Apple ID and password and to allow it to sync to Mac and iTunes. After following the steps my phone kept restarting - turning on and off and goes blank. How do I fix this??

    I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this. 
    The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open.  Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out.  Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore.

  • I upgraded my iphone 4 OS yesterday to ios 5, today morning my phone is not working, i am not able to click any button and also its not allowing me to switch off the phone and restart. Anyone having similar issues

    i upgraded my iphone 4 OS yesterday to ios 5, today morning my phone is not working, i am not able to click any button and also its not allowing me to switch off the phone and restart. Anyone having similar issues?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

    I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

    Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged. 
    What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

    Restore as a new device, then sync your apps and contacts.
    Do not restore from backup.
    If that does not resolve it, then the next step would be to visit the Genius bar at an Apple store.
