Since I saw @Sabrina our @Moderator asking if adding a FAQ/notice on how to boot into recovery to wipe the cache, I went ahead and wrote a whole new entry to our improvised FAQ, which contains all the basic troubleshooting steps one should take to solve his or her issues with his or her device. Plus, how to properly ask for help by giving us appropriate information on the issue.
Basic troubleshooting 1- Wipe Cache 1- Turn off your device. 2- Hold down the Bixby/Home, Volume Up and Power buttons. 3- On the menu that appears, navigate to the Wipe Cache Partition option. You navigate with Volume Up/Down and select with Power. 4- Confirm. 5- Reboot your device.
(Other steps will be added after. Feel free to suggest more)

Thanks for drafting this up, this will be super helpful to link to! 😊 I was also toying with the idea of asking users to submit their issues in a specific template, sort of like how you outlined above. I don't know how well that will be received though...
@mito, good call on the error report as well—a lot of issues are beyond our ability to fix, so this helps the devs understand what's going on.
