https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S22/S22-Apps-Crashing-after-updates/m-p/3402403#M105679 <P>I’m honestly at my wits’ end with this update. Ever since I installed One UI 8 on my S22 Ultra (Canada), both Samsung Gallery and Smart Switch have completely stopped working&nbsp; and nothing I’ve tried has fixed it.</P><P>The Gallery app crashes the second I open it, even in Safe Mode. I’ve cleared cache and data, wiped cache partition, rebooted multiple times, and nothing changes. The “Repair apps” option doesn’t exist in recovery mode, and both “Disable” and “Uninstall updates” are greyed out. When I check the Galaxy Store, it says “This app isn’t compatible with your device anymore.”</P><P>To make things worse, Smart Switch also won’t load&nbsp; it just freezes on startup and OneDrive sync inside Gallery doesn’t work either. That means I can’t even back up my data. Basically, my phone is stuck: I can’t use Gallery, can’t back up to Samsung Cloud, and can’t transfer data out.</P><P>I really don’t want to factory reset a $1,600 phone just because Samsung’s own apps aren’t compatible with their new firmware. It’s honestly disappointing.</P><P>Is anyone else in Canada seeing this after updating to One UI 8? Or has anyone found a workaround? I’d appreciate hearing if a patch is on the way, because at this point my phone feels unusable.</P><P>Really frustrated with Samsung!</P> Sun, 09 Nov 2025 00:28:30 GMT gg_kenya 2025-11-09T00:28:30Z
