Galaxy Note 8 stuck while using Excel or any other app.

froze while loading excel from an email, tried all different combos of buttons till it finally reset…. not cool, never had that with Apple or Samsung…

Solution:

Maybe this issue is triggering because of some third-party app, I would suggest put your device in Safe Mode and use for few hours and if you haven’t faced this issue that means for sure some culprit app is doing this. Follow the instructions below.

  • First, turn off your Galaxy Note 8.
  • Now press and hold the power key.
  • When you see Samsung Galaxy Note 5 logo, release the button and then press+hold the volume down button.
  • Don’t let go until your phone finishes the rebooting process.
  • When you see Safe Mode in the lower left corner of the screen let go the volume down button.

You need to now find the app which is behind all this mess, once you do please uninstall this app.

Galaxy Note 8 Restarting itself:

Problem:

2 days i back switched from apple phone to note 8. It is reallyvanniying ..apps are getting strucked and phone is restarting it self. I did’nt installed so many apps..i just installed few apps such as spotify,facebook,whatsapp. I purchased this mobile yesterday and today i went to t-mobile store, they said they don’t have the stock to replace. I took the some screen shots while phone got strucked and error messages. My device got restarted almost 8 times during the day.

If you have tried everything and nothing is worked for you then I would suggest that you need to wait for an update which will fix all these issues, If not then you can try Installing custom ROM on your Galaxy Note 8.
