How to Fix System UI error on Samsung Galaxy A50

Possible Causes Explained

Corrupt caches due to recent firmware updates. Firmware updates may mess up your phone instead of fixing pre-existing issues and this error message is just one of the problems updates bring.

A third-party launcher is causing the System UI to crash. Let’s face it, there are a lot of free launchers you can download from the Play Store but only a few are actually from reputable developers. So, there’s a chance that you have downloaded a launcher that conflicts with the firmware or the System UI service specifically.

Newly download firmware update is corrupt or the update wasn’t successful. If there’s just one file in the firmware that’s corrupt, it would cause a lot of issues. The same thing goes for updates that failed or got interrupted.

The phone suffered from liquid damage affecting some of its components and making the phone act like crazy as the normal firmware-hardware operation gets messed up.

Fix System UI error on Samsung Galaxy A50

1. Soft Reset/Reboot

Well, I think you already know how to restart your phone. So just restart the device and see whether it solves the issue or not. Restarting a device is always an ultimate solution for any issue. Not only Galaxy but this applies to each and every electronic device. I used to tell my mom to restart her device if she faces any issue with her smartphone.

Well if you still need to know how to restart then, here is it: Press your phone’s power button. On the screen, tap Restart.

The other way of the reboot is as follows:

Press and hold the Volume Down button.
While holding it down, press and hold the Power key.
Keep the button held for 10 seconds, it will be restarted automatically.

If this doesn’t work then head to the next method.

Clear Cache from Recovery Mode

In case you don’t know what is recovery, the first thing the bootloader rings up is the recovery. Recovery Mode refers to a special bootable partition, which contains a recovery application installed in it. And you can fix some problems with your phone. Follow the steps to clear cache from recovery mode:

Once it is turned off. Press and hold the power/Bixby and volume down button simultaneously until the Android logo pops up.

Wait until your device wipes out all cache or temporary data from the system partition.
Press the Power button again to reboot the device.

This clears all the temporary data from the device. And then it works like new.

Troubleshoot apps in Safe Mode

In case you don’t know what is safe mode, in safe mode, the system temporarily disable all third-party applications you installed on your device. By doing this we can figure out which app is occurring the problem. Follow the below step to turn Safe Mode on:

Turn OFF the device.
Press and hold your device’s Power button till the model name screen.
When the SAMSUNG logo appears on the screen, release the Power key.
Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
