I asked what you were doing, because if you are actively on a phone call the screen is designed to black out if you hold it to your face so you don’t tap any buttons. And sometimes a case not designed for the phone can block the sensor that manages this feature. If you were not on a phone call there is a problem that is likely to be hardware.

I have had the same thing happen a number of times. No predictable pattern. Again this morning with a FULL charge (so its not a low battery).


I get a call, slide to answer and phone just shuts down immediately. It does take a while to restart, but I don't notice it taking longer than a normal power-cycle.


Phone is running v18.0.1 and received it late September.
