What the title says. When it reboots, the screen just turns black without any warning or pop up windows. (Though I think I have seen a very dim flash of a red warning strip across the screen one time when using it in the dark.)

I also have a suspicion that the power button might be failing. I generally have to click it harder for it to lock the screen now, and sometimes it opens up the power menu when I only clicked it once.
Would a failing/stuck power button also cause this rebooting behavior?

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for the help, guys! I think I’ll get my phone checked for a stuck power button some time. Shame I use it often for the camera shortcut.

    How old is your battery, does it drain fast? If it’s an old battery then it might not be able to supply enough power during above average load

      It’s just over 2 years old now, and I’ve been using Accubattery to limit charging to 80% from the start. Battery health is still 97% according to it.
