1 CPU Frequency too High
By default a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S2 is clocked at 1.2 GHz, Galaxy S3 –1.4 GHz, Galaxy S4 -1. 6GHz.. Newly purchased phones are prone to this problem as well, without any downloaded app and widget being installed on your two days or a week-old Android phone. You can still encounter random shutting down/restarting issue due to the high CPU frequency allocated.
2 Disturbances in Auto Syncing and Updating
You will encounter apps, games and firmware being updated automatically or scheduled. Chances are you might not know if your firmware is compatible with the updates being installed, and this can cause conflict with apps not being able to communicate with your present firmware. This is normally seen with Gmail Updates and other Pre-installed Apps. On the other hand, auto syncing complies with the same behavior as updating.

Touch Wiz is a front-end touch interface developed by Samsung Electronics with partners, featuring a full touch user interface. TouchwWiz is presently on your Samsung Galaxy. Often, the TouchWiz will show unusual behavior such as: ‘Unfortunately touch Wiz home has stopped“, freezing and in this case “Automatically restarting your Samsung Galaxy.” This problem is rooted from Widgets, apps and Corrupted Updates/data stored.

While you may have come across it before, “Clear cache ” and “Clear Data“. The differences between these two are: cache stores temporary data while running application, it can be related to a computer’s RAM. While clearing your data will erase modified preferences of applications, databases, and restore the application to its initial state. These two options have a notable impact on the Samsung Galaxy constantly. Randomly/Automatically Restarting
