S7 Edge Apps Not Opening After Software Update

Problem: Ever since I updated my S7 edge some apps won’t open anymore. At first when they stopped working I went to the app store and updated them all and they worked again for a day and then stopped again. Now they won’t even open and my device seems slower than before.

Solution: Updating your apps from the Google Play Store is one of the first troubleshooting steps that needs to be done in this particular case. Since you already did this and the issue still persists then you need to wipe the cache partition of your phone from the recovery mode. This will erase the temporary system data of the phone which could be causing the problem. Once this is done try to check if the issue still occurs. If it does then you will need to backup your phone data then do a factory reset.

S7 Edge Unfortunately Smart Card Manager Has Stopped Working Error

Problem: My phone periodically says “unfortunately smart card manager has stopped working” and then I get a security alert saying “unauthorized actions have been detected, please restart your phone” or something along those lines. I also do not have the option to save wifi so the wifi never reconnects to anything I’ve already typed the password in for even if it’s my.home device. Also, I live in New Zealand with the carrier Vodafone but you don’t have that option on your Country list.

Solution: Your phone seems to be experiencing several issues. Regarding the smart card manager has stopped working it appears that the app might have some corrupt data. Clearing the cache and data of this app from the application manager will usually fix this problem.

Moving to the unauthorized actions have been detected error the following possible causes are listed below.

  • You might have installed a malicious app that is trying to modify the system file of your phone.
  • You might have removed or modified a system file.

If restarting the phone and doing a factory reset ( make sure to backup your phone data before doing the reset) does not fix the problem then you should try to flash your phone with its updated firmware file. You can download the firmware file of your phone from the Sammobile website. This website will also have the instruction on how to flash your phone.

By flashing your phone software there’s also a big possibility that the Wi-Fi problem that you are experiencing will also be fixed.

S7 Edge Error After Factory Reset

Problem: Hi, I recently purchased a used Samsung S7 edge (G935A). After doing a factory reset on the phone some errors started to occur. Errors such as:

 

  • Pressing the Software Update button (Settings->About Device->Software Update) does nothing. Phone does not check for updates.
  • Manually changing the time (Settings->About Device-> Date & Time -> Set Time) will give me the error message “Unfortunately,Settings has stopped”
  • Selecting the Night Clock option (Settings->Display->Night Clock) will give me the following message “Unfortunately. AODService has stopped”

 

I have tried many of you already proposed fixed such has soft resets, booting in safe mode to see if problem still persists and clearing the cache. Only thing i haven’t done yet is another factory reset. What else can you possible recommend for me to do in this case?
