Samsung Fold & Flip - Wipe Cache Partition, Repair apps & Galaxy App Booster

[ironass]

A few procedures that I personally find helpful after installing an update or if I encounter issues are wiping the phone's temporary Cache Partition and using the Galaxy Apps Booster.

Wiping the Cache Partition is considered best practice after a major firmware update and can solve a lot of issues, such as lagging and apps foreclosing. This does not affect your data and is very simple and easy to perform.

Whilst in Recovery mode you can also select the option to, "Repair apps", in case you are experiencing app issues.
This video will show you how to clear your phone's temporary Cache Partition of any corrupt files and detritus that may cause issues for you. It works on both the Z Fold and Z Flip series devices.

(NB. Connecting your device via USB may only be needed for the international devices)

I also use the Galaxy Apps Booster as well, which can be found in the, "Good Guardians", app in the App drawer of Android 13> on some models.
If you do not have Good Guardians in the App drawer, it can be downloaded from the Samsung Store along with its component apps. The app is available only in the USA, Europe, Vietnam, South Korea, and China for flagship devices. See screenshot

Simply run the Galaxy App Booster. If it is your first time using this app it can take awhile to finish. Subsequent runs are around 4 min's.

You may also wish to try out some of the other apps in Good Guardians

I would wholeheartedly recommend installing Good Guardians and its suite of apps if they are not already installed and are available for your region.

Good point @ocnbrze

I suppose that some of the outdated detritus only occurs after an update has made it obsolete.

i knew about those crApps since the S7. Only they got preinstalled then. Galaxy App Booster is a task killer with a cutesy name. Battery Guardian is a battery saver. Hasn't everyone figured out those are completely unnecessary especially in modern Android? all the necessary features are baked into Device Care on any One UI device. deep sleep, ultra power saving mode, adaptive power saving, etc.

wiping the cache partition has been part of Android recovery mode since like the very first version in 2008..

I use Galaxy App Booster after every update as it is a little more than just an app killer as the last link in post #1 explains.

Updates are the first thing I disable entirely so I likely would never face such an issue so it wouldn't be of any benefit. been burned by updates too long to trust them today. Three days standby w/ light use on a Z Flip 4 is downright excellent to me.

My meaning is that the "Fold & Flip mobiles era" refers to a significant phase in the evolution of mobile phones. During this era, mobile phone manufacturers introduced innovative designs that allowed phones to be folded or flipped, offering users a more compact and versatile device. These foldable and flip phones marked a shift in the way we perceive and use mobile technology, providing both style and functionality in a single device.
