Galaxy S23 Ultra can't open any settings pages

Ungoliant — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 22:26:08 GMT

My phone has just started refusing to open any pagrs within settings. So, If I click an app (in settings/apps...) a number of screens open and close so quickly I can't tell what they are and it returns to settings homepage. Can anyone please advise?

Have you cleared your phone's cache partition?

Yes I 'cleared cache' to no avail. There's no user feedback so impossible to know if it actually cleared though.

Ah I've found cache partition you refer to. But now need to figure out how to access this given updates have ballsed up the side keys...argh

To change the settings on the side key, go to settings/advanced features/side button. Clearing the app cache actually does give you user feedback. You can see the app's cache size prior to hitting clear cache and then, it's 0 after.

Sounds like you might have a bad actor app or some malicious website put something on your phone. I would suggest down loading Malwarebytes and run that.

I agree with Oxford, you can definitely download Malwarebytes for mobile from the app store and that MAY get rid of the malicious spyware/virus you have on your device but personally... I would just backup my entire device to my Samsung/Google accounts and do a complete factory reset to make sure I got rid of anything and everything infecting my device.

I managed to get into sare mode and delete a problem app. Seems to fix the issue.
