Hello community!

 
When I browse through smartphone forums, I come across posts with similar problems REPEATEDLY. Almost everyday there is atleast a few posts complaining about heating, lagging, battery drain, etc. Likewise, there are other complaints too which are repetitive in nature, most of which can be solved at the user end (fortunately).
 
In this post, I will share links to educational/ informational write-ups on explanations/ solutions to common problems. Additionally, there will be links to my other posts that you may find interesting. I'll keep this updated as more and more content is added. These are Samsung Community links and point to posts within the forum.
 
I write posts with the hope that they will be helpful in resolving problems. Whatever I write have been tried and tested to work.
 
Whenever I see a problem already covered by one of my posts, I'll link this post to the OP, as I can't keep writing the same things again and again. Read them ONLY if you are interested and you think it can be of help to you.
 
Thanks.

Oh yeah. Send me in DM then.

I thought links to YouTube, Google Play Store, Samsung Community, and a handful of others do not get removed.

Is this app not from Play Store?

In past years, I loaded Custom ROMs in 2 of my older device which caused same green vertical lines on screen...
.
This is permanent damage... Screen replacement is only option i suppose

Nope... I am not a dev 😬
.
I just observed from by previous experiences that after i install some not so well made custom roms, this issue happened

So if people are complaining this after updating OneUi 4, this definately means that there is some faulty part/section in the new ROM
