ZenFone 9 randomly restarts

HelpingHand

Hi all,
I bought an Asus ZenFone 9 from the UK online store. I started to migrate the apps from my old phone to the zf9 and once I finished I started to use my new ZenFone 9 as my main phone. However, I noticed around 3 dso that when i wentato unplug a fter charging the phone it looked as if it has been restarted. I thought it was a software update that somehow just did that so I didn't pay attention but then it repeated again and again every day since.

I started paying attention to it and started trying to disable certain features to see if that made a difference: disabled mobile data, left everything on and now I'm on airplane mode with WiFi on.

I upgraded to the latest version that was pushed some days ago hoping that it would magically solve the issue but... it didn't!

I quick Google Search revealed that sadly this issue is not that uncommon, and has already happened in the UK and Germany to other ZenFone 9 owners.

Is this a hardware problem? Is there a fix or a patch other than simply perform a factory reset and keep seeing the same issue? Can please someone from Asus look into this issue?
Plehank youase tell us some basic information before asking for help:

Scenario: use the phone as usual, leave the phone idle a few times a day, at some point, when you try to use the phone after it sat idle for some time you'll notice that it had restarted because you'll be asked to enter your password again and about/ status will show an up time of just a few minutes

Keeping the phone awake is a nice feature just a shame that when you put the phone in the pocket it start to butdial even with the picket mode on, it's totally useless, had to turn off the double tap to wake screen because of this. I have a smart home integrated and it made in several occasions a haunted house trip for my wife. 😅😂.
I'm not gonna buy Asus phones any time soon. My pixel worked perfectly with pocket mode .

Just for information, if you disable the second SIM card and restart the phone, both SIMs are enabled again. It is something that happens in AOSP by default, although some brands other than ASUS do keep the SIM disabled. Therefore, it is not an error per se.

Second day without reboot with the new phone. Long periods of idle (vulnerable moment for the reboots in my opinion).

nice!, I'm glad you got lucky with this one. I think it should be stable for now on unless the next firmware mess things up for you. Thank you for keeping us up to date with the progress

Hi guys.
Bad news for me.
I had a reboot during the night, charging the phone.
Sorry Asus I give up, it's not possible to have this problem.
