• Restarts and Freezes Randomly Problems

Some users have reported that their Lumia 1020 randomly turns itself off or freezes sometimes. Since the specific apps or services may be the culprits, we have worked out the following solutions.

1. Make sure the apps aren’t running in the background if you don’t use it.

2. Check whether the apps are the latest and the Window Phone is up to date by going to Settings=> phone update=>check for updates.

3. Holding the volume down and power buttons together until the device vibrates to do a soft reset.

4. If the soft reset doesn’t work, try a hard reset to wipe your handset after backing up everything important. You can do this by going to Settings=>about=>reset your phone.

5. But if your device is unresponsive, you have to reset by holding the volume down button and connecting your charger. Then an exclamation mark should display on screen. And you have to press these keys in order: volume up, volume down, power and volume down again.
