Samsung’s software update crushed Galaxy A56’s boot system – Tips to rescue

Samsung has recently released a new update for the Galaxy A56, which brought Gemini Side buttons support and more features to provide a smoother Galaxy experience. This new software update not only brought new support and the latest security patch but also crushed the Galaxy A56 boot system.
After the update, some Galaxy A56 devices are not starting up properly. Instead, they get stuck on the “gears” loading screen. This unexpected issue has surprised many users, turning an exciting update into a frustrating issue.
Galaxy A56 Boot Issue
Many Galaxy A56 users have reported the boot issue online. The problem seems to happen right after installing the latest update. The phone freezes on the reboot screen and doesn’t fully start.
Not all Galaxy A56 phones are affected. For many users, the update installed without any trouble. But the bug is showing up frequently enough to raise concern among users.
Quick Fix
Some users have discovered a simple trick that may help fix the booting issue. For that, you need to follow a few easy steps.
The first step is to remove the SIM card from your Galaxy A56. After that, you need to restart the phone by pressing and holding the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time until the device reboots.
Once the phone fully starts up and reaches the home screen, you can insert the SIM card back into the device. This method has worked for many users facing the same problem.
While it’s not an official fix from Samsung, it could help get your phone working again. It is better than performing a factory reset.
Samsung has yet to officially acknowledge the issue, but it’s likely that a follow-up patch will be released soon. Until then, the SIM-removal method is your best temporary solution.
If your Galaxy A56 is also stuck after the update, you can try the above method. If this solution works for you, let others know through the comment section on our social media platforms.

Samsung’s latest Galaxy S25 Ultra update allegedly introduces a camera headache

Galaxy S25 Ultra camera flickering reports are rising after the software update. A new video has popped up online, displaying the broken camera functionality filled with flickering problems, allegedly on an S25 Ultra.
In the past, a few Galaxy S25 Ultra owners have noticed their ultrawide camera acting up at the 0.6x zoom. It shakes or vibrates, making photos and videos blurry. A video posted by @Samoneui8 on X shows this shaky viewfinder in action.
Since the phone launched in February 2025, similar complaints have popped up on Reddit and Samsung’s Community Forum. Users mention a rattling noise and an unstable image, which is a real headache for photography fans.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s issue isn’t affecting everyone; millions of phones are out there, but it’s a disaster for those hit by it. Users have tried clearing app data and even resetting phones, but it seems to be a hardware problem.

The company hasn’t formally said this is a widespread problem, but it has fixed some faulty units under warranty. Authorized repair shops have swapped out camera modules, calling it a hardware issue in those cases.
If you’re dealing with this, visiting a repair center is advised, as the 12-month warranty should cover fixes. Samsung’s support also notes that indoor lighting can cause screen flickering, but this may not fully explain the camera issue.
Software couldn’t always be blamed for smartphone problems. It plays a role, can ruin the experience, but not always. In the camera flickering problem, users have had their phones repaired at service centers.
That said, if the problem appeared just after the software’s installation, it could be a coincidence. Millions have already installed the June patch and even the second Beta, but there are no widespread reports on the internet.

Samsung’s forgotten voice assistant struck with an issue, a fix rolling out

Bixby is Samsung’s smart virtual assistant that helps you use your phone more easily by learning your habits and preferences. However, some Samsung Galaxy users have noticed an issue where Bixby doesn’t respond properly after saying “Hi Bixby,” which can be frustrating when trying to use voice commands.
The issues spotted in the Bixby app version v3.7.12.18. In this version, Bixby is not responding properly on some devices. When you say “Hi Bixby,” it suddenly stops working or shuts down without response. This issue does not happen all the time, but it happens often enough to cause problems.
Samsung has confirmed that this issue happens intermittently and affects users who try to give voice commands through the Bixby app. Fortunately, the company has also released a new update for the Bixby app that fixes this problem.

If you’re facing this issue, updating the app should help. The update is now available in the Galaxy Store. To install the update, you just need to open the Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. If the new update is available, install it now.
After the update, the voice assistant should work normally and respond to your commands. If the problem still happens after updating, try restarting your phone or clearing the Bixby app’s cache. By these solutions, the Bixby will work properly.

Here’s how you can fix One UI 7.0 Recent Apps screen overlapping

Some Samsung Galaxy users are facing a strange problem in the recent apps view after updating to One UI 7. When they open the recent apps screen, the apps sometimes look messy, like overlapping. This can make it hard to see or switch between open apps.
This overlapping apps issue happens randomly when users check the list of recently used apps. Instead of showing the apps list, the screen sometimes shows them stacked on top of each other or shows leftover images from other apps.
The issue does not happen all the time, but when it does, it can be annoying. It looks like a display glitch and doesn’t affect how the apps actually work.
Samsung has confirmed that the company is already aware of the recent overlapping apps issue in One UI 7. It is also working on a software update to fix the problem. Until that update is ready, a community moderator has suggested a simple temporary solution.
To temporarily fix the issue, users just need to turn on the Auto Rotate feature and rotate their phone. For that, swipe down from the top right of your screen to open Quick Settings >> turn on Auto-Rotate by tapping the icon >> Rotate your phone sideways (landscape) and then back upright (portrait). This can refresh the screen and remove the overlapping issue.
Samsung will release a new software update to fix this bug. To make sure your phone has the latest fixes and improvements, check for updates regularly through Settings >> Software Update >> Download and install. Stay tuned.
