After the latest software update in September-October, The Auto Restart feature stopped working on both my wife's phone and mine. I have cleared the cache in the boot rom on both phones, and it still don't work. Aside from wiping the phones and re-installing. We have AT&T (Note 10 Plus)
I have also turned off the Auto Restart. Turned off phone and cleared cache. Turned back on Auto Restart and turned off phone cleared cache again.
One other note: it seems like the phones try to restart, but something is preventing it from doing so. The screen turns on at the time it's usually turns off.. Ex: set to restart at 4:00am. Tried at 4:40am. This was the usual time it did it before update.
I also tried this in Safe mode with no luck. still don't work. Took me 2 hours to get my home launcher screen to work again after that. It defaulted back to original Home Launcher. I use Nova Launcher it wouldn't even open that. But finally got that fixed.
I do not have any phone cleaners or RAM Booster apps installed. I have since, factory reset my phone and tried the auto restart last night. Tried the Auto Restart feature and it still didn't work. It looked like it did, I had to put in my PIN when I woke up and it even said, "Enter Password after a restart" HOWEVER, If I go and look at the "up time" in settings, it showed 14 hours and 31 minutes. Also, it didn't do the "Restarting" across the screen that I usually get when I restart. I don't really mind it not working for me, as I have to turn my phone off at work on a daily basis. My wife is the one that uses this feature (Probably the only one too!).It still did not work!
Possible bug?
I've attached the update info.
