So, here's what makes getting rid of this feature unhelpful.

1) Samsung rescinds the option to customize the restart feature

2) Samsung decides that an auto restart as a needed basis is convenient for the user, it's not

3) Samsung requires that I unlock my phone after the restart to re-enable notifications and alarms

4) User is late to work because they cannot unlock their phone while sleeping and misses their alarm because of reason 3

5) User must now have to set a reminder to manually restart their phone and buy an actual alarm clock that doesn't rely on their phone, which nullifies a lot of the automation features of a smart home i.e. turning on lights

This idea was not really though out for the consumer/user as everyone has their own times of when they're not using their phone.

This! When the phone restarts it clears all notifications except for texts and I think missed calls. So any app notifications, calendar reminders, and messenger messages are gone. Along with, like you said, restarting on a work night and not getting alarms until you unlock the device, which means oversleeping and being late to work. "Sorry I'm late, my phone restarted itself last night. Again."

I loved the set auto restart because I had it on for Friday night (Saturday morning I guess) at 3am when I don't have work the next day and have time to check through all my usual apps I get notifications from.

I really hate that the only options now are auto restart whenever my device decides it needs to or me trying to remember to restart my phone manually once a week.

I'm not trying to start a rant but my Mate 20x was so cool that if I powered my phone off ... it would automatically turn itself back on for any schedule alarms.

The following options are not available on my Samsung Galaxy S20 5G phone:

Step 2. Tap the More options (the three vertical dots).

Step 3. Select Automation.

Step 4. Tap Auto restart at set times.

Note: I did locate 'Restart when needed' under Battery and Device Care -> Auto optimization, but there is no option to set a schedule after selecting that option.

This?

[pham_hni]

Yeah but you can't schedule a restart.
