Whether
you’ve a Samsung Galaxy S9, or another Samsung
Phones, you might suffer from some
freezing, and lagging issues as you keep using your Smartphone. It’s
quite common these days to encounter such problems. In this Blog,
we’ll help you to fix freezing and lagging performance related
issues on Samsung
Galaxy S9.
We’ll deal
with all these performance related issues with different method. Each
method has its limitations, and works for certain situation. More
often freezing, and lagging issues are caused by installed
application, and sometimes by the operating system itself.
Here are
some solutions that should make things right for you, and make your
phone run stable again:
How to Solve Samsung Galaxy S9 freezing and lagging issue?
- Close all applications running in the background:
When you’re
using an app and you tap the Home key, the app won’t be closed but
“minimized” and will continue to run in the background. Needless
to say that if you use a lot of apps in a day and you have to habit
of tapping the Home key without closing the app, there could be a
bunch of applications and continue to use your phone’s RAM and CPU
and that could be the reason why your S9 frequently freezes and lags.
Therefore, the first thing that you have to do is to close all apps
by following these steps:
- Tap the Recent key (left of the Home key).
- You may swipe up an app to close it or tap Close all to quit all applications at once.
- Force restarts your Galaxy S9:
After
closing all apps running in the background, it’s time to refresh
your smartphone’s memory but instead of doing the normal reboot,
it’s better to do the Forced Restart which is far more effective.
To do this, follow these simple steps:
- Press and hold the Volume Down button and don’t release it.
- While holding down the volume button, press and hold the power key as well.
- Keep both keys held down together for 15 seconds or until the Galaxy S9 logo shows on the screen.
After doing
this, continue using your Samsung phone to know if it still
frequently freezes and lags because if so, then it’s possible that
there’s an app that’s causing the problem.
- Run your Galaxy S9 in Safe mode:
There are
applications that could make your phone run slow. Since we don’t
know which of your apps the culprit is, it’s better to run Samsung
S9 in safe mode to isolate the problem. While restarting your device
in safe mode won’t fix the problem, it will tell you immediately if
the problem is caused by an app and whether or not it’s a
third-party or pre-installed.
Here’s how
to run your Samsung phone in this mode:
- Press and hold the power key until the power options show on the screen.
- Tap and hold the Power off option until Safe mode option shows.
- Tap Safe mode to restart your phone.
- When your S9 boots up, you should see the text Safe mode on the lower-left corner of the screen.
While in
safe mode, observe Galaxy S9 closely to see if it still freezes and
lags because if so, then move on to the next solution. However, if
the problem is seems fixed while in this mode, then try to find the
app that’s causing the problem and uninstall it. Begin with apps
that you installed when the problem started. You may also consider
game apps to be the cause or those that you side loaded or installed
manually.
- Delete the system cache so it will be replaced
Performance
issues may also be caused by corrupt system cache. Most of the time,
the cache gets corrupted or becomes obsolete after a major firmware
update. To rule this out, here’s what you should do:
- Turn off the Galaxy S9.
- Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.
- When the Android logo displays, release all three buttons.
- Once you see a black screen with blue and yellow texts, the phone is in recovery mode.
- Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
- Press Power key to select.
- Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select.
- When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
When the
phone becomes active after the reset, continue your observation to
know if it still frequently freezes and lags and if so, then you have
no other choice but to perform the next solution.
- Backup your files and reset your device:
After
doing the first four procedures and your Samsung
Galaxy S9 still freezes and lags, then
you have no other choice but to reset your device. We’ve already
exhausted all other possible solutions to no avail, now; it’s time
to bring the device back to its default settings and configuration.
But before the reset, make sure to create a backup of your important
files and data as they will be deleted and then remove your Google
and Samsung accounts so that you won’t be locked out of your
device. Once everything is set, follow these steps to hard reset your
Galaxy S9:
- Turn off the device.
- Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.
- When the Android logo displays, release all three buttons.
- Once you see a black screen with blue and yellow texts, the phone is in recovery mode.
- Press the Volume down key several times to highlight ‘wipe data / factory reset’.
- Press Power button to select.
- Press the Volume down key until ‘Yes — delete all user data’ is highlighted.
- Press Power button to select and start the master reset.
- When the master reset is complete, ‘Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
