How To Stop Your Lumia Device From Rebooting All The Time

Earlier this week, I got an email from a reader here. He said his Lumia 840 turns off then on about three times a day, when I first saw it I thought it was weird and believed his battery was faulty or his phone had a problem that needed to be fixed. As usual, I looked into it and I found out that it really wasn't a battery problem.
The problem is present in some versions of windows 8.1 phones. It causes the phone to restart over and over.
This glitch has already been fixed and many of the Lumia phones have been corrected, but some phones are still yet to be fixed most especially the ones that have not connected to Microsoft servers.


Lumia always turning off and on

If you're one of these affected people, sit tight because Samm would be bringing an end to your problems. I would be showing you three methods that you can use to stop your Lumia Device From turning off and on.




First you should check if there's an available update for your Lumia device.
Open your app list and click on settings , click on Phone Updates then tap on check for updates. If there's an available update install it and that should fix the problems.




How to Fix It with An App

You can also fix your Lumia phone Rebooting by installing an app to your phone.

The app would check if device has been fixed and if it hasn't been fixed, it will attempt to fix it.

  • Make sure phone is charged and has a stable Internet connection, use WiFi for better results.

Open the app and Tap next, the app will tell you if your Lumia Device has been fixed or if it needs to be fixed and it will also try to fix it.

It will display either of these two results.
