Some smartphone users upgraded to Android Oreo, complain of spontaneous reboot of their devices. They expressed their discontent at the US portal Reddit. The analysis of the situation showed that the problem is not related to the specific actions of the users themselves and can concern all devices regardless of the brand.

Despite the fact that the problem of spontaneous reboots most often affects the owners of Pixel, this is a fairly simple explanation - many manufacturers have not even released an adapted version of Android O for their smartphones. For this reason, the general statistics should not include users of devices running the Oreo beta builds.

It is alleged that Google developers are aware of the problem and are working on fixing it. According to official representatives of the company, the problem is caused by a malfunction in the "picture-in-picture" mode and, as a rule, occurs only when watching YouTube. AndrodInsider Editions. ru could not get Google applications or denials.

At the time of publication there is a single and reliable way to prevent reboots - a flashing on Android Nougat. According to preliminary data, users who decided to roll back to an earlier version of Android (in this case, Android 7. 1), in 100% of cases reported positive changes in the work of their smartphones.
