Run your Galaxy S10 in Safe Mode
Sometimes, the screen on a smartphone doesn’t work correctly if a third-party application is using it and causes a conflict with the Android OS. In that case, you should check out if that’s the problem by operating your device in Safe Mode. Here is how to force your phone to enter Safe Mode:

- Right away, press and hold the Volume Down button
- Hold that key until the smartphone restarts, and the Safe Mode text appears in the bottom left corner
