Can anyone suggest a remedy to this please? My battery is draining like crazy but I'm unable to open device care to check what's going on. The app launches and closes straight away. I've tried updating but still nothing. I can't uninstall it either. 
Thanks.

Hi @Nads90, I'm sorry to hear about this. Let's try clearing the cache and data from Device care to see if this helps. You can do this by going into Settings > Apps > 3 dots in top right (or) 3 lines on right-hand side (this will depend on the Android version on your phone) > Show system apps > Find and Select Device care > Storage > Select Clear Cache and Clear Data. After you've done this, switch off the phone for 20 seconds to give it a fresh start. Hope this helps!

Thanks for checking, @Nads90. Let's start the phone in safe mode to see if this happens while the third party apps are disabled. Information on safe mode can be found here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/

Hi there, I am having the same issue as @Nads90, (i'm unsure if it has resolved for them yet) I try to enter device care on my settings and it just would not open and would crash the settings app completely. I have tried it in safe mode and it still happens. Could someone help please?
