If your vivo S50 started restarting on its own after a recent update, you are not alone. Random reboots usually point to post update conflicts, unstable apps, or system settings that did not carry over cleanly. The fixes below focus on stabilizing the system without risking your data.
Why Your vivo S50 Restarts After an Update
- Cached system data became corrupted during the update process.
- A recently updated app is not fully compatible with the new software.
- Battery optimization or performance modes are forcing background resets.
- The phone is overheating due to background activity after the update.
- System settings did not migrate properly and are causing conflicts.
Restart the Phone Once More
A clean restart helps the system settle after a major update. It reloads system services and clears temporary memory issues that can cause sudden reboots.
Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
Wait for the phone to boot fully, and then use it normally for a few minutes.
Clear Cache for Recently Updated Apps
Apps that updated alongside the system are common triggers for random restarts. Clearing their cache removes temporary files that may no longer match the new system version.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap App management, choose a recently updated app, and then tap Storage.
Tap Clear cache, and repeat this for other recently updated apps if needed.
Check Battery and Performance Settings
Aggressive performance or battery settings can destabilize the system after updates. Adjusting these settings helps the phone run more consistently.
Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
Tap Battery usage or Performance mode, and switch to a balanced or standard option.
Restart the phone and check if the random restarts stop.
Turn Off Scheduled Power Features
Some vivo phones have automatic power on or power off features enabled by default. After updates, these settings can behave unpredictably.
Open Settings, and then tap System management.
Tap Scheduled power on or off, and disable all scheduled options.
Update All Apps from the App Store
Outdated apps often clash with newer system updates. Updating everything ensures compatibility with the latest software.
Open the App Store, and then tap your profile icon.
Tap Update all, and wait for every app to finish updating.
Reset System Settings Only
If the issue continues, resetting system settings can fix deeper conflicts without deleting your files. This restores default configurations while keeping your data intact.
Open Settings, and then tap System management.
Tap Reset, choose Reset system settings, and confirm the action.
Set up your preferences again once the phone restarts.
Accidental restarts after an update usually fade once the system stabilizes and conflicting settings are cleared. With the steps above, your vivo S50 should return to smooth and reliable performance.
FAQs
Why did my vivo S50 start restarting only after the update?
Updates change core system behavior. If cached data or apps are not fully compatible, the phone may restart until those conflicts are resolved.
Will a factory reset fix random restarts?
Yes, but it should be a last resort. Most restart issues are fixed by clearing app cache, adjusting settings, or resetting system settings only.
How long should I wait after an update before troubleshooting?
Give the phone a few hours after the update to finish background optimization. If restarts continue beyond that, troubleshooting is recommended.
