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?

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

The frequency has increased. The phone restarted while I was on call. Very annoying.

ok so my issue isn't restart's as my uptime doesn't reset, my issue is being forced to use a pattern to unlock after the phone has been in a deep sleep for X amount of hours.

Not sure but it is happening probably because the phone is restarting itself

OK so as someone had posted in another post I started that I might have this issue too.

Bought this phone only 5 days ago. In Australia and each morning I'm forced to use a swipe pattern to unlock instead of my usual Fingerprint

Asus if this is a hardware issue how can I replicate it so I can get a refund because I can't leave it in the store for an hour in the hope it would restart by itself.

This is not an error (or at least it is not because the phone restarts). It looks like some kind of security setup to ask for the PIN once a day. I had the same with the S22 also.

Yeah well asking for a pin or swipe each day after long sleep is kinda annoying or they should give us a option to change it
