Its not a big deal but it annoys me. I have a samsung a50s. And recently after a software update. My phones started acting weird. Not taking fingerprints well, and have a short moment of a gray screen before the phone turns on and off. Instead of showing pitch black, its displaying an ugly dark gray. How do i fix this.
