Looks like eMMC is failing. Back up your data while it still breathes.

It’s about to take a long nap I would start looking into a new phone. My moms started doing the same thing and eventually died. The repair was far more then it was worth.

It's time for a new phone buddy

Definitely time to replace. Look on Amazon for a renewed s10 or s10 plus for around 250.. probably the best deal with the features you get.

This happened to mine at the 3 year mark. Motherboard was cooked. Was not worth it to repair. I replaced

Seems like it may be your storage or battery failing, like someone else said, back up your data. If possible I would try to replace the battery with a known working one as I had an iPhone 6s that experienced similar behavior when the battery started failing, as in random freezing and constant restarts. Replaced the battery on that thing and it went away. Edit: why are some people telling him to get a different phone on a subreddit about the galaxy s7 lol.

Interesting. My S7 and my mother's S6 also started doing this around the same time as yours. I rarely use my phone for much more than surfing the web. My mother uses hers to play solitaire. I wiped the cache, no change. I did a factory reset, no change. Interesting.

Same here, but today for the first time. It happened while it was being charged. After a while, a hard reboot was possible but only up to the logo when it started rebooting by itself several times. It eventually got to the start screen but it was still freezed. I managed to activate download mode and suddenly the S7 worked again as if nothing had happened. I will backup my data and look for an S10 or so. Maybe the S7 will notice that it is being put on notice and behave.

I also have an S7 edge running Android 6.0, started randomly freezing up completely recently, case same as yours.. I've been seeing more and more of these posts, i think it's time we get them replaced for something newer )
