Answer 1

This seems to be a Samsung Specific Issue. People are facing similar crashes. A thread has been opened on Samsung Forum mentioning the exact same issue. Currently, no workaround is available as it is unknown why it's happening. Keep an eye on the thread, Samsung may come up with a workaround on that thread.

My guess is it is happening due to their Battery Saving Strategy.
