Why is it that after all the hypes of these flagship devices from notable phone brands, they still come out with bugs? Right now, some users of new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Smartphone are complaining of freezing issues.
Remember last week, Google's new Pixel 2 smartphone had issues as well, now it has come to Samsung's latest flagship - Galaxy Note8.
A large number of users at Samsung's official forums are complaining that their units are freezing in different use-cases.
The most common use-case affected users are reporting is that the freeze occurs while accessing the contacts app - both directly or indirectly (like, while making a call or accessing the Phone or Messenger apps).

REGIONS AFFECTED
The problem is affecting many regions, not just a specific country or region as users from the US as well as Europe are facing it. Samsung is yet to offer an official statement on the matter.

That is the magana with Samsung device.....
ReplyDeleteThis is a very bad news for them.
ReplyDeleteThey should try as much as possible to always run the necessary test on their their Device as possible for couple of days to ascertain where flaws arose.
For this will save them from such mess in future.
A big thank you for the added tips, it will sure go away long in dealing with such abnormalities.
ReplyDeleteNote 7 burning and Note 8 freezing. Samsung swinging wide....
ReplyDeleteSamsung has seriously narrowed down on their bloat ware, with some even being uninstallable. Sadly, one of them is Samsung Pay, which I'd argue is one of the best apps/services any company has ever given on their smartphones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful update
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for Samsung to release that magic software update to address their mobile instability. Surely it will come any day.
This problems listed above is not new news from Samsung and other phone companies.
ReplyDeleteHaving bugs and freezing problems is mostly or likely solved with device updates.
