My 4A is restarting randomly. More so with the new firmware!!! Jeepers, will install the developer one and see if there's a difference?

Bond, have you tried doing a factory reset? Might be worth the trouble to see if anything software-wise is messing about. Which network are you running off of? Does the problem arise when on Wifi with mobile data off?

Tried factory reset. No go. It restarts both on mobile and WiFi. I'm on different network but mainly MTN.
//Hopes it's not a hardware/battery problem...

That's a bummer
Reason I mentioned it is because my old Moto G used to randomly restart when it couldn't find cell signal for a certain amount of time - almost like a ping watchdog but a bloody annoying one as it would then ask for my PIN code and if I haven't checked my phone in a while I usually have quite a few missed calls

In hindsight I suppose a Redmi 4A randomly rebooting isn't too concerning. Us with Note 4's are in greater danger it seems:erm:

Would love to know what he did to the phone? Millions already sold and only 1 explode while he is doing something to it. I smell a rat.

Thats what they say. Also don't know if the owner did something to it beforehand either.
Like I said if this is a known flaw we would have seen more reports of this happening. The phone been selling for more than 6 months and this is the 1st one that explode?

Must be an isolated incident. I hope.
Either way, mine is sleeping in the basin tonight

So over the moon! It's been 8+ hours since my phone restarted! On the developer firmware.
Not yet, want to know what the actual price is. I don't want the feeling of being ripped off.

I think you looking at about R9K depends on the model. Yikes, I thought paying R5.3K for MI5 was a lot...
