Samsung continues to sell worldwide and users are starting to complain about galaxy problems S8. New problems pop up almost daily. With that in mind, below is a list of common issues you may encounter along with methods to fix them. These solutions also work for the Galaxy S8 Plus.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 will be available for sale in less than a month, which means that more problems will appear in the near future.
It's still worthy replacement senior and , just need to take into account some problems. We will deal with the most important complaints and offer corrections and other ways to solve the problem.
This is an impressive smartphone with a lot to offer its users. It has a stunning Infinity Edge screen with tiny bezels, a ton of performance and a great camera. But just like all flagship smartphones, it's not perfect.
How to fix Galaxy S8 fingerprint scanner issues?
The first and biggest issue with the Galaxy S8 for most users is the location of the fingerprint scanner. It's just awful. The scanner is located on the back of the smartphone, but not under the camera. To make matters worse, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus are larger than most flagship smartphones, putting the scanner out of reach for most users.
Unfortunately, there is no real way fix this problem, owners just have to get used to the new position of the scanner. Muscle memory will make you look for a home button that no longer exists. The only real solution is careful adjustment of the scanner, which will help to accurately read the print.
For example, after installing a cover, the scanner may not be able to recognize fingerprints. Delete the saved prints and repeat the set up with the case, make sure to follow the onscreen instructions during this process. Changing angles, finger direction, and other tweaks can give you better results.
The scanner is not a button, there is no characteristic click during scanning, so you never know if you hit the camera instead of the scanner. As a result, the camera lens is quickly stained.
How to fix the face and iris scanner?
Luckily, Samsung provides several different ways biometric device unlock to compensate for the poor placement of the fingerprint reader. You have access to the face recognition system and the Iris (iris) scanner, which we saw on Galaxy Note 7.
The Iris scanner works at night, through glasses, and at higher angles than on the Galaxy Note 7. However, in the comments, users claim that none of these methods work well enough. If you are having problems, we recommend deleting the Iris scanner settings and reconfiguring it. Try to open your eyes wide the first time to ensure the best reading.
With face recognition, things are even worse. Some users like the feature, while others find it useless and complain that face recognition doesn't work. A photograph of your face can also fool the system. So be careful if this is your only method of unlocking your smartphone.
Instead of using your face, we recommend using a feature called "Smart Lock". It uses GPS to save reliable locations, whether at home or work, your voice and your Bluetooth accessories can also unlock the Galaxy S8 automatically. Thus, when you are at home, the smartphone is not blocked. One has only to leave the house, and the smartphone will be blocked. This solution allows you to interact with phone scanners as little as possible.
Go to Settings - Lock screen and security - Smart Lock and enable the feature. Then set up the location and connect the Bluetooth devices for better job functions.
How to fix not fullscreen Galaxy apps S8?
Another big issue we keep seeing complaints about is apps that won't go full screen. With a large 5.8-inch or 6.2-inch Quad HD screen, some applications are unable to use the entire space. This is due to the aspect ratio, similar to 16:9 widescreen cinema, which has black bars. Luckily, you can fix this easily and quickly.
So far, most apps have worked and scaled just fine, but some don't. If so, follow these steps to fix this issue.
Pull down the notification panel and go to "Settings" (gear icon in the upper right corner);
Find and select "Display / Screen";
Select the "Full Screen Applications" option;
Find any application that is not highlighted and switch it to full screen mode;
The app will now automatically scale to the new 18.5:9 aspect ratio and fill the entire screen. Some of them may not look right, but pretty much every app we've seen has rendered just fine. In addition, owners can click the Recent button and click Expand (green icon) to instantly switch to full screen mode for that app. If it is needed.
How to fix problems WiFi Galaxy S8?
Countless reports confirm Wi-Fi issues on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. Owners mention poor connection performance, disconnections, and speed dips that prevent a website from even loading until the smartphone is disconnected from Wi-Fi. We see these issues with just about every smartphone that hits the market.
If you are faced with wifi problems on the Galaxy S8, we recommend resetting your home router or modem first. Better yet, drop network settings default. We have found that powering off the router for 10 seconds or so and then restarting will allow your smartphone to connect. Try going to Settings - Connections - Wi-Fi and reset your wireless network. Then reconnect, enter the password and reconnect.
If you used Samsung function Smartswitch to transfer data from old smartphone, Wi-Fi information is also transferred and new galaxy S8 will connect automatically. If this is your case, we strongly recommend that you reconfigure the connection manually.
How to get the app tray back on Galaxy S8?
Not only do we miss a physical home button like all Samsung smartphones have for the past seven years, but the Galaxy S8 lacks a shortcut for the app tray. How to find and open all your applications?
Instead of wasting home screen space with a dedicated white button, Samsung has created a gesture for the app tray. Just swipe anywhere from the bottom of the screen to open the app drawer. This is a functional change at the phone software level.
You can remedy the situation, however. Pinch any free space on the screen. The desktop will shrink, indicating the transition to edit and page layout mode, as well as rearrangement of widgets and background image. Click on the "Settings" button (gear). Now go to the "Apps Button" option and select "Show Button". Now accept the settings and go back. You'll see a familiar button at the bottom of the screen that will open the app drawer.
Samsung has even added a "Home Screen Only" option if you want all your apps to stay on the home screens like they do on the iPhone. Try this solution, you will be able to create folders to keep the interface clean.
How to fix red screen tint on Galaxy S8?
Some users, mostly from Korea, have posed the problem of a red screen tint that distorts colors. This is not a hardware issue that will require a phone replacement, a software update should fix it.
As you can see above, two phones have a reddish tint while one shows a normal white screen. This is a calibration problem in one form or another, since then Samsung has updated the phone's software, offering users a large number of options to customize the screen to your liking. The update is already available in Russia for Galaxy users S8.
Go to Settings - Display - Screen Mode and select a new color mode. In addition, you can even color balance to complete screen color adjustment, including tone and white balance. This the only way get rid of red tint on galaxy s8 screen.
How to change screen resolution on Galaxy S8?
Another problem is that the Samsung Galaxy S8 comes with a QHD screen (2960 x 1400). Higher than most Full HD (1080p) TVs. However, Samsung lowers the default resolution to 1080p for daily use. The manufacturer did the same with the Android 7 Nougat update for the Galaxy S7.
This is a solution that is almost invisible to the user, however, improves smartphone performance and time battery life. Most users won't be able to tell the difference between QHD and Full HD (1080p) on a phone. However, if you want the Quad HD you paid for, the resolution is easy to change.
Just go to Settings - Display - Screen Resolution and move the slider to the far right to WQHD+ for the best screen image.
How to fix wet speaker problems on Galaxy S8?
Like its predecessors, the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are IP68 certified, which means they are water and dust resistant. This means that you can lower your smartphone to a depth of up to two meters for no more than 30 minutes. It is protected from damage without plugs covering the ports, no covers for you.
If the Galaxy S8 gets wet, the speakers may sound funny for a while, but water can't cause long-term damage to your smartphone's sound.
Samsung uses a specialized coating on the inside of the speaker and its surface to keep water out. If the speaker does not work or sounds bad after getting wet, just let it dry. There is a specialized screen behind the speaker grille, but sometimes just a little water gets on the speaker.
Try shaking your phone, lightly blowing on the speaker grille, or blotting it on your side to catch any remaining water. After the speaker is dry, it will work normally.
How to fix Bluetooth problems on Galaxy S8?
Despite being the first smartphone with Bluetooth 5.0 to cover quad-band, fast pairing, and connect two devices at the same time, we see tons of complaints about Bluetooth.
Several users point out that the Galaxy S8 does not even see their devices, which makes it impossible to connect them to a smartphone. Reminds me of old CDs that were sometimes unreadable. Sometimes the problem is very bad connection. We see a flood of complaints on the Samsung forum, but no resolution in sight.
One member suggests turning off the Galaxy S8 and your Bluetooth accessory. Turn them back on, remove any connection (pairing), and reconnect to your headphones, speaker, or car. Often, a simple reboot is enough to fix Bluetooth problems. Users can also head to Settings - Applications - Bluetooth Search and clear the cache. This solution will remove all pairings, which helps some users.
If you continue to experience problems with Bluetooth, you may need to wait for a software update.
How to fix problems Galaxy cameras S8?
Did you receive a Camera Failure Warning notification on your Galaxy S8? Some users are complaining about this problem, after which the camera application instantly closes. So you can't take pictures.
Like last year, the smartphone offers a feature called "Smart Stay" that can cause bugs. It uses the device's sensors to keep the screen on while you look at it. Unfortunately, this feature again interferes with the camera. Head to Settings - Advanced Features and turn off Smart Stay.
We also experienced this problem: The Galaxy S8 camera app closes and displays a warning that the temperature is too high.
This is fairly common in a hot car in the summer, but you shouldn't have any problems with indoor photography. This should not happen in other conditions. If you have encountered similar problems write to us.
Another problem is Vision. important point Galaxy sales S8, a built-in assistant that also uses the camera to find information about the subjects you're shooting. For most, the feature doesn't work at all or occasionally. We have deprecated this feature and hopefully an update will make the assistant more useful in the near future.
How to fix slow charging or wireless charging?
Samsung Galaxy S8 won't explode? After the problems of Note 7, this issue appears quite often. We can't say 100%, but most likely new flagship completely safe. Samsung includes 8 battery checkpoints and tests its phones extensively before release.
However, you may feel that the smartphone gets a little warm while charging. Other charging complaints include slow speed charging Galaxy S8. I use a case so I don't feel warm like others. If you play games or perform time-consuming tasks, your smartphone may also become warm.
Additionally, Galaxy S8 owners who are concerned about heat while charging can head to Settings > Battery and turn off the "Fast Cable Charging" option, which uses Quick Charge 2.0 and adaptive samsung charger. This means that the smartphone will not charge from 0 to 50% in 25-30 minutes, and a full charge will take more than two hours, but it will not get very hot. If the smartphone is charging too slowly, make sure that you use a special adapter that is included with the smartphone and is of high quality. USB Type-C.
Owners can't just use USB Type-C cable with an old charger as it doesn't supply enough power to enable fast charging. Remember, if you need extra power, buy the appropriate accessories.
Speaking of charging, many reports have gone over the fast wireless charging, which just doesn't work for some users, even in the panel for fast charging from Samsung. We suspect that the update will help fix this issue, perhaps Samsung is limiting fast charging features for some charging pads in order to keep the smartphone's temperature normal. We will update this section when we know more.
How to reset a frozen Galaxy S8?
If the phone freezes, you can perform a manual reset. This will help resolve minor random phone issues. Whether it's screen glitches or screen orientation errors, a stuttering app, or other minor issues, a quick reboot often fixes them.
Owners can easily reboot their smartphone by long pressing the power button, followed by tapping "Reboot". The phone will turn off and restart, allowing you to work as intended.
For a hard reset, we have prepared a separate article. Press and hold the power and volume down button for about 7-8 seconds until the Galaxy S8 vibrates and reboots. This will fix almost any minor Galaxy S8 issue.
Speaking of rebooting, it looks like some users are having a problem random reboots Galaxy S8. In case the smartphone just reboots without visible reasons. Based on over 100 comments on the Samsung forum, this is a fairly common problem. The company is aware of this, and some users say that removing the MicroSD fixes the situation. We recommend formatting the SD card and trying again to see if the reboots went through or not.
Galaxy S8 and “DQA keeps stopping” message is another common issue that users complain about. An unusual error that pops up on some devices. The issue may be resolved after a reboot. The culprit is the "device quality agent" service, which scans Wi-Fi devices. Samsung has reportedly fixed this issue with an update internal interface using the Galaxy Apps Store. For some users, the update helped fix the error.
How to factory reset Galaxy S8?
Last but not least, factory reset your phone. It deletes all user data, applications, messages and other contents of the phone. So use this solution as a last resort. If you are experiencing any serious problems with Galaxy S8, try doing a factory reset.
This good way prepare the smartphone for installing new software, as forthcoming android update A. After that, users can use the SmartSwitch function to restore the device settings automatically. Go to the menu Settings - General Settings and click Reset.
The whole process will take a few minutes, restore the original software, like on a smartphone out of the box, deleting everything. Galaxy S8 owners can use Samsung SmartSwitch or Google Restore to revert all apps and settings back. Again, this is the last resort.

Slow process Samsung updates may fix some Galaxy S8 issues, otherwise, come back to this article, we will update it for new issues. Write to us if you have any problems, we will do our best to help.
Enough. You can wander through the menu hour after hour, hoping to stumble upon interesting settings. Another option is to read a manual on the internet about which settings are needed first.
Samsung follows the trends of the times and offers software navigation buttons on the screen. This means that they can be customized. By default, the layout of the buttons is the same as on other Samsung smartphones, on the left is the application overview button, on the right is the Back button. You can swap them, as on other Android smartphones. This is done at Settings > Display > Navigation bar And. You can also change the background color of the navigation bar here. You also need to know that the Home button is pressure sensitive. It works even when the screen is off. At the bottom of the navigation bar menu, you can set how sensitive this button is.
digital assistant Samsung Bixby not very smart yet, so use it in this moment it makes no sense. When you press the button on the side of the case, a screen called Hello Bixby appears. The screen is to the left of the main home screen. It resembles the Google Now screen, but not as high quality. You can customize it to show more useful information. By default, there are not very useful things here, like random Giphy animations and suggested themes from the Samsung store. If you don't want to see Bixby on your screen, you can enter edit mode by long pressing on an empty space on this screen and turn on the toggle at the top of the Bixby panel.
Icons on home Samsung screen are a square with rounded corners, when you install third-party applications, they get the same icons with white frames. This ensures the consistency of the interface, but not everyone likes it. To get rid of the frames, open Settings > Display > Icon Frames. Set to "Icons Only".
By default, the organization of the list of applications is custom, and in simple terms, it's hard to find anything here. You need to change the arrangement of elements to alphabetical, for this you need to open the application list, press the menu button and select sorting. Unlike past versions of Samsung's home screens, apps will remain in alphabetical order even when new ones are installed.
Samsung has placed the fingerprint scanner in an awkward place on the back of the case next to the camera, which is hard to reach with your finger. For this reason, you need to become familiar with the iris scanner. It works very confidently, you can make it even more convenient with a few tricks. You can add your own iris in the section Settings > Lock screen & security > Iris scanner. Make sure unlock with this scanner is enabled so you can unlock your smartphone just by looking at it. Activate the switch "Unlock the iris" when the screen is on. In this mode, you do not need to swipe on the lock screen to enter the eye scan mode. You just need to wake up the device, looking at it, after which it will immediately be unlocked.
They have several screen calibration modes. The default is adaptive mode, which includes color sliders to change as desired by the user. For some owners of these smartphones, their screens seem too red, you can change this with these sliders. There are also AMOLED photo, AMOLED cinema and basic modes. The basic one offers the most accurate colors of the sRGB specification, the adaptive one has an extended color range.
When you press the volume control, the ringer volume changes by default. However, how often should you change it? It is much more useful to change the volume of audio and video, you can assign these settings to the volume control. open Settings > Sound and vibration. There is an option called "Default Sound Control". Click on it install "Media".
On the Samsung Always On Display screen, you can see basic information about your smartphone without having to turn on the screen. This feature causes an increase in battery consumption, so you need to either turn it off completely or set it to reduce power consumption. open Settings > Lock screen & security > Always On Display. You can set different styles of clock, calendar, photo, set the minimum clock Edge. Despite the name, Always On Display doesn't always have to be on.

You can customize what you see on the Edge Screen by tapping the gear icon at the bottom or opening Settings > Display > Edge Screen. This screen can be turned off if you don't intend to use it, but it's best to try and set it up first. There are over a dozen panels that are disabled by default, including the clipboard manager and the weather. Click the menu button in the upper right corner of the window to rearrange panels and edit the Edge handle. It can be made larger, smaller, more transparent and repositioned.
The Galaxy S8 runs on , so it uses the standard multi-window android system. Samsung has added something of its own to it, namely the Snap Window function. You'll find the pin button next to the split screen button on the app cards in the multitasking interface. Clicking on it allows you to select an application that will remain on top of the screen, while the bottom part will be used by another application. It's ideal for watching videos that take up little space and keep working even when out of focus.
The screen brightness slider can be opened in quick settings, but there is an option to get to it even faster. Open the quick settings panel and click on the arrow next to the brightness slider. Set the brightness toggle at the top and click Done. The brightness slider will now appear below the first row of settings at the top of the notifications panel.
The Galaxy S8 is the first smartphone to support Bluetooth 5.0, which brings an interesting gimmick with it. You can broadcast sound on two different devices Bluetooth at the same time, but first you need to find a setting for this. open Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Menu > Dual Audio. After enabling this feature, you can connect a second Bluetooth device to your smartphone. They will receive the same sound, but with a slight delay on the second device.
Samsung paid great attention to the selection of content on Galaxy screens Note, this selection and crop tool is now available on the Galaxy S8. You can access it through the Edge screen, to which you need to add the Smart Select panel.

It links LTE and Wi-Fi connections, which allows you to download files larger than 30 MB at higher speeds. Naturally, this is convenient if you only have unlimited Mobile Internet. If so, open Settings > Connections > More connection settings > Download booster.
The Galaxy S8 has almost no bezels around the screen, which has an unusual 18.5:9 aspect ratio. This means that some games and applications will display strangely, there may be black bars on the sides. The device tries to guess what settings to set, but you can switch between displaying the application in full screen and standard on your own.

Samsung is a very popular smartphone manufacturer and a favorite brand of many users. However, one cannot deny the fact that Samsung smartphones have a number of disadvantages. Some of the most popular queries on the web are the phrases “Samsung freezes”, “Samsung freezes”, and “Samsung S6 freezes”. This confirms the fact that the smartphones of the Korean company have a tendency to frequent freezes.
Many users mobile devices Samsung is facing this problem and is trying to find an acceptable solution to prevent the device from freezing in the future.
Many reasons can cause Samsung phones to freeze, while the gadget becomes completely lifeless. This situation causes irritation and confusion, because there is no guaranteed way to prevent the problem in the future.
However, in this article, we will discuss some tips that will help you deal with phone freezes, lags, and glitches and reduce the frequency of their occurrence.
You can solve the problem with the freezing of a Samsung smartphone by rebooting it. This method may seem very primitive, but it is able to temporarily fix the malfunction of the device.
In order to restart a frozen phone, follow the steps below:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the power off and volume down keys for a long time (more than 10 seconds).
2. Wait for the Samsung logo to appear and your phone to boot up normally.
This simple method will allow you to use your phone until the next freeze. Follow the tips below to prevent future freezes.
Samsung is a well-known brand whose products have been on the market for many years and during this time, users of Samsung devices often complain about sudden freezes.
Samsung phones can freeze for a variety of reasons. For convenience, we have included some of the most common ones that can cause this error.
All Samsung smartphones work on Android based and Touchwiz. Touchwiz is a touch interface that makes it easy to use your phone. It can overload the device's memory, which causes freezing. This problem can only be solved by improving the integration of Touchwiz with a smartphone.
Heavy applications cause an overload of the processor and internal memory, since the latter is already occupied by pre-installed programs. You should avoid installing heavy applications that are not too important, which only additionally load the processor.
The problem of freezing Samsung smartphones is often associated with the operation of unnecessary widgets and functions that are actually little used and are used only for advertising purposes. Samsung phones come with built-in widgets and features that appeal to shoppers but actually slow down the device and drain the battery quickly.
Samsung smartphones do not have a large amount of internal memory, and this can lead to freezes. Small amount random access memory simply not able to simultaneously perform a large number of operations. In addition, multitasking overloads the system anyway and prevents applications from running normally.
The described reasons cause regular freezes of Samsung phones. Given that we want to reduce their number, rebooting the device may be a good measure. Read the article to the end to find out more.
As noted, there are many reasons why Samsung phones freeze. However, by following the tips below, you should be able to resolve this issue. They can be considered as guidelines that you need to keep in mind when using your phone on a daily basis.
Heavy apps take up most of your phone's memory, reducing free space and hampering the CPU. Many users have a habit of setting unnecessary applications. Make sure you remove all such applications, thus freeing up additional space and making the system easier to use.
For this:
1. Open the settings menu (Settings) and find the section "Application Manager" (Application Manager) or "Apps" (Apps).
2. Select the app you want to uninstall.
3. To uninstall, in the list of options, find and click Uninstall.
On some smartphone models, you can remove heavy applications directly from the Home Screen or from Google Play store.
There is no guarantee that your phone will 100% boot into safe mode, since the difference between this mode and the usual mode is only that third party applications not loading or temporarily disabled.
The purpose of this procedure is to confirm that third-party applications have something to do with the freezing problem. If this is the case, then when booting in normal mode, the phone may freeze again. In order to boot your phone in safe mode, do the following:
1. Press and hold the power button.
2. When the Samsung logo appears, release the button and immediately press and hold the volume down key until the reboot is complete.
3. When “Safe mode” appears on the screen, release the volume down key.
If your device has booted up, then the next thing you need to do is to identify the application that is causing problems with the phone.
I know this is easier said than done. However, if there are applications on your phone that may be causing it to freeze, try resetting them sequentially by clearing the cache and deleting data. If this method did not work, then I would advise you to remove the applications.
Here is how to clear the cache on Samsung:
If you have hundreds of apps installed on your phone and you don't know which ones might be causing the freeze, then you should first back up your data (especially photos and videos) and then reset in the settings menu.
Here's how to do a factory reset on Samsung:
After performing the update, you may have cleared the cache that was created while running remote applications. However, the remaining applications continue to use it, and this can prevent the device from booting normally. Now you will learn how to update the cache.
Follow this step if you are unable to boot into Safe Mode, uninstalling apps has no effect and your phone may boot into Recovery Mode.
If this procedure did not help, then there is no other option but to reboot the device.
If your Samsung phone is frozen, then to prevent such a problem from occurring in the future, always save the entire application in the internal memory of the device. Do not use SD card memory for the specified purpose. Move apps to internal memory very simple.
1. Open the Settings menu and select Storage.
2. From the list of applications (Apps), select the one you want to move.
3. Now click "Move to Internal Storage" as shown below.
So, Samsung smartphones freezing problem is quite common, but you can prevent it by using the methods given above. These tips are very useful and should always be kept in mind in order to ensure the smooth operation of your device.
In the "distant" times, when almost every smartphone from Samsung had a collapsible case, it was easy to remove back panel, remove the battery to quickly restart your smartphone, eliminating problems with its unexpected freezing.
But the latest flagships have a completely different design - they cannot be disassembled. At least in Galaxy case The S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus are doing just that. And the most annoying thing is that errors and freezes, as they were, are still there.
The first thing to do if your device does not respond to sensor touches is ...
Hold down the power button - and not for a few seconds, as users do to turn off the device, but for at least 10-15 seconds.
Unfortunately, this method does not always help. If the S8 does not respond to touches of the sensor, then it is quite possible that when you press the power button, it will not receive information that you need to complete the task of turning off the smartphone.
If this is your case, then you can solve the problem using a special key combination. This combination can replace the usual procedure for rebooting a mobile device.
In 99% of cases, the combination really helps to solve the current problem. And it doesn't matter if the smartphone freezes when you work with its standard menu, play a game or use an application. Any failure, any error that caused the device to freeze, should be corrected with the help of such a reboot.
There is another "folk" advice to get rid of the freeze and force restart the device, which was sent to us by the happy owner of the Galaxy S8.
As you can see, sometimes it is necessary to use such “drastic” measures. But the main thing is that it works!
Finally, here's the moment. If at the moment of freezing you were working with any program, and after restarting it, having launched this software again, the smartphone began to “fail” again, it is quite possible that this is precisely software product. Most likely it will have to be removed. Doing it better - this increases the chance that a "buggy" application will not leave behind any "tails" after deletion.
In this article, we have provided quick guide how to restart your android phone. It's pretty simple, but it's worth knowing a few things.
When a smartphone refuses to obey, the first step to regain access is to attempt a reboot. Fortunately, the Android system itself, and smartphone manufacturers do not prevent this action.

Android may start to "freeze" after a few days of work, especially if you run a lot of applications, or just installed new program. In such cases, the only way out may be to reboot the phone. Depending on how the phone works, responds to commands, or simply does not turn on, you must perform one of the following five points.
When the phone starts to "freeze", but still responds to commands, it's better to just turn it off in the usual way, that is, by long pressing the power button - select "Turn off". After restarting everything should be back to normal.
This situation can happen to anyone - the smartphone is working, the screen may even be on, but it has completely stopped responding to commands. If the situation does not improve within a couple of minutes - this may mean that Android is "frozen". What then?
The easiest way is to remove the battery from the device. You just need to open the battery cover and, perhaps, with a vigorous movement, remove the battery from the phone. Wait a minute and put it back in.
If the smartphone does not work properly when turned on, see the next paragraph.
When an Android smartphone "freezes" even after turning it on again, the matter is much more serious. There is a good chance that the problem is related to one of the recent installed applications. It should be removed and see if it improves the situation. If not, more serious measures must be taken.
A common and always effective solution is to restore the factory settings. To do this, enter the menu Settings -> Recovery and reset (it happens that the menu items are different and are in a different submenu) -> Reset settings. If you select the last option, the phone will be completely cleared of data and restored to the state in which it was purchased. In addition, you can still clear the memory card. It is possible that such an option will be obtained immediately after selecting Restore Factory Settings. If not, you need to go to Settings -> SD card and phone storage -> disable memory card -> Format memory card. If there are any important data or photos on it, remember that they must be copied to another medium!
When the phone does not turn on, do not be too scared. The developers left another loophole to bring it back to life. To do this, you need to refer to the manufacturer's knowledge of the smartphone model.
This loophole is the so-called recovery mode, which can be activated in some phone models by pressing and holding the corresponding buttons at the same time. Need to find the right combination for your phone model. For example, in the Samsung Galaxy S (i9000), you need to press and hold three buttons at the same time: volume up, power on and the Home button below the screen. Then select the desired option to restore factory settings or clear the device's memory. In Samsung, this will be the "wipe data/factory reset" position, but, for example, in the case of HTC, this may be the "Clear storage" option.
After performing these steps, the smartphone will reboot itself, or it will be necessary to call this function from the menu (reboot).
If none of the above points work, it means that the problem may be more serious. In this case, we do not recommend further bringing the smartphone back to life on its own. It will be much safer just to give it to a specialized service center. A list of these can usually be found on the manufacturer's website.
Even the most expensive smartphone is not immune from breakdowns. During operation, the device may fall to the floor, suffer from exposure to water, and receive other mechanical damage.
As a result, individual controls may fail.
Practice shows that one of the most vulnerable places on a Samsung smartphone is the power button (on / off).
If the main the phone button is broken or stopped responding to pressing, only the master will help to correct the situation. However, for some time you can use your smartphone with a broken power button.
Turn on Samsung with a broken button
There are several options for solving this problem, here are the most effective ones:
1. We put the smartphone on charge. Many Samsung and other phone models turn on when connected to a charger. The first thing to do in this case- This put the device on charge and try to hold down the volume control key.
If you don't have a network charger, but there is a laptop and a USB cable, then you can connect your phone to the computer.
2. If the first method did not work, try press the volume button to the "-" position, the "home" button and, keeping these two buttons pressed, connect the power cable (do not release the buttons all the time!). After a few seconds (about 5-7) a warning menu should appear on the screen.
Need to remove from device back cover, insert the power cable. When the second battery indicator appears, abruptly disconnect the power cable and also abruptly remove and insert the battery. The phone will start to reboot.
VIDEO INSTRUCTION
Turn on every time samsung phone without the power button in all the intricate ways listed above, it is not very convenient, therefore, after a successful launch, we recommend installing the special application Mobile uncle tools 2017 (Mobile Uncle) on your smartphone.
With this universal multi-tool, you can do almost anything with your Android device by completely changing the settings and functionality of the working buttons.
The Mobile Uncle application works with any device based on MTK processors.
There is another application - Power button to Volume Button (available for free in Play Store) - it is designed specifically for this case. With it, you can shift the function of the power button to the speaker volume keys.
There are only two active items in the application menu: Boot and Screen Off. It is enough to check the box next to the “Boot” item and the smartphone will turn on using the volume rocker.
Factory reset is a last resort. The consequences of such an operation are fundamentally different from the consequences of a normal reboot. After a factory reset, the phone will return to the state it was in when it was made. Accordingly, all your data - everything in general, including contacts, photos, applications, messages, and so on - will be deleted in the process. Accordingly, it makes sense to use a rollback to the factory settings only in extreme cases.
Charge the battery and make a backup of all important data. Starting a factory reset, remember - there is no going back! Accordingly, care should be taken in advance that nothing is lost without a trace, especially something important or valuable. After the rollback, alas, you will not be able to access all this again. It is necessary to charge the battery so that it does not discharge in the process - otherwise it will only get worse.
Select "Factory data reset" in the settings. Revert to factory settings Galaxy Ace possible in several ways. The first one is perhaps the easiest - go to the phone settings (gear-shaped icon), then “User and backup copy” (“User and backup”) or “Backup and reset” (“Backup and reset”), then “Factory data reset”. A notification will appear asking you to confirm the action.
Alternatively, enter the code *2767*3855#. Dial it the same way you would dial a phone number. This sequence will reset the phone to factory settings, unless later, after typing everything, you remember to click on "Call".
There is also a third way: press the home key, the volume up button and the power button at the same time. However, this trick will work. only with the phone turned off. Release the buttons when the Samsung logo appears. This option is good in cases where your phone cannot turn on normally.
From the recovery menu, select "Wipe data/factory reset". Now you can put your phone aside for a while until a special menu with various system options loads. Use the volume buttons to select the factory reset option, then confirm your selection by pressing the phone's power button or the home button. In the next window that appears, select "Yes" to confirm the action.
Wait for the factory reset to complete. Now the phone will start resetting the data without disturbing you anymore - you just need to wait for the process to finish. By the way, this can take a few minutes, so please be patient. When the rollback is complete, select the "Reboot system now" option from the menu, or simply reboot by pressing the power button on the phone.
No complex technique is immune from failures, even the most modern ones. Even a powerful flagship Samsung smartphone The Galaxy S7 can freeze, however, to the credit of its creators, it must be said that this usually happens not through their fault, but through the fault of one of the installed and running applications. Be that as it may, if the Galaxy S7 freezes, it stops responding to commands and touches on the screen. So what to do in this case?
A reboot should fix all issues. True, there is one caveat here - a tightly hung smartphone may not respond to buttons in any way. In this case, we will most likely be helped by one of the recommended technical support Samsung ways.
So, here we figured out what to do if the Galaxy S7 is frozen. But we have eliminated only the cause, not the effect, and if the problem recurs more or less regularly, it is worth considering what caused it. First of all, it is worth checking the memory of the smartphone for a subject. If not, think about what dubious applications you installed recently, and after what actions did the Galaxy S7 start to freeze? If regular freezes began after you installed some fresh game, it may be the case.
Moreover, the application can be completely normal and officially downloaded from Google Play - this may not prevent it from conflicting with some other processes occurring in the silicon memory of your faithful smartphone. Try uninstalling the suspicious app, restart your Galaxy S7 and observe its behavior. Well, if nothing really helps, you can try the factory ones, having previously saved all the valuable information. If this does not help, and the smartphone continues to hang periodically, then we have only one road left - to the Samsung service center.
