Here’s what you should do

Below, you can check the steps to boot your Samsung phone in Safe Mode. And if you feel that your device is working fine in Safe Mode, this means the lagging issue occurs because of applications or malware loaded on your smartphone.

  • Restart your device.
  • Hold down the Volume Down key as soon as you seem the Samsung Logo until the phone is fully loaded.
  • Once your device has loaded you should see Safe Mode at the bottom of your device.
  • Navigate throughout the device to check to see for any performance improvements.

If there is no difference in the sluggish/laggy performance of your device, please proceed to the next step.

Step 2:

You can now perform a Factory Data Reset on your device. However, do remember that this will remove “ALL DATA” from your device and bring it back to its default Factory Settings.

  • Tap on Apps
  • Go to Settings
  • Find and tap on Backup and reset
  • Tap on Factory data reset
    • (If you have phone security enabled, you may need to enter your passwords in order to proceed to the next step.)
  • Follow the prompts until your device reboots to commence with the Factory Data Reset.

After your device has fully loaded, please check to see if there has been an improvement in the performance of your device. If the issue persists, this may be due to the corruption of the firmware or there may be an issue with the device itself.
