The Google Gemini update for the Galaxy A56 was released by Samsung in early May, making it easier to access the Gemini AI assistant by holding down the power button. However, some users in Europe are reporting an error that prevents the device from booting after the update.

Specifically, some members on Samsung's official community forum said that their Galaxy A56 was stuck on the boot screen after updating to the new software. Fortunately, a user shared a simple and effective fix.

If you are experiencing this situation, try following the instructions below:

  1. Turn off the device completely
  2. Remove the SIM card from the device
  3. Restart the Galaxy A56 without a SIM
  4. Once the device has booted to the home screen, reinsert the SIM card as usual

Currently, the development team has not confirmed the specific cause of the problem. This error may be related to some carriers or only occur in certain countries. However, the first person to share this fix in the community has confirmed that it works.

The Gemini integration update is also currently being released for other Galaxy A series devices, but there have been no reports of similar cases occurring outside of the Galaxy A56. If you haven't updated yet, you might want to consider waiting a little longer to avoid any risks.
