Hi! My Hero5 restarts automatically, too - but not always. Haven't figured out why it does it sometimes and not others. Drained the battery.

I also had that same issue. I thought it was a bad unit so just exchanged it today for another one. Haven't tried it yet to see if there is sany change. Not going to do the update until I know it's good

@r1canr1m - To turn the wifi off on the HERO5 Black, pull down the menu and select "Connect". Near the bottom of the "Connect" menu is the option to disconnect the wifi.
@magoo1340 - Definitely update the firmware.
Thanks,
Jeff

My unit is updated with the latest firmware, when the battery runs out it turns off itself....then it wake up after 10/15 minutes...and turn off again...
with wifi/Bt enabled it turn on every time any app is active and ask gopro for internal photos/videos preview.... ( this must be disabled in future upgrade )

Did you update to the latest Firmware via the App or do a Manual Update. It was suggested to me that the manual update will cure the problem but the App Update won't. I only did the manual update and mine is now fine.
