Samsung phone lagging after One UI 4.0 update?
Due to enhancements of existing features or the addition of new features, your Samsung device may feel slightly sluggish after a firmware update. At the same time, unsuccessful firmware update because of losing internet connection in the process of updating is also a reason behind device lagging.
On the other hand, the third-party application also reduces the performance of your smartphone. If your phone has a lot of applications such as messenger applications, games, and anti-virus apps, it can also slow down your device due to the background process.
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.
Here’s how to spot the cause of issue
Step 1:
Booting your device in Safe Mode will disable any 3rd party applications and purely run off the standard Android OS. This is to determine if there are any applications causing interference with the performance of your device.
- 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.

You usually won’t need to factory reset your Samsung phone, but sometimes it’s necessary if there’s a major technical problem, freezing issues, and others that can’t be fixed any other way.
