App issues

In many cases, a faulty app is causing this problem. To be sure that is the case press and hold the Power button and tap on Power Off. Hold Power button and Volume down and when the Samsung logo shows up on the screen release the Power button and keep holding Volume Down. In the bottom-left part of the screen, you’ll see safe mode. If the screen works just fine in the safe mode, it means that one of the apps you have installed on your device is causing the problem.
