Turning the device off and on is sometimes called a soft reset, which is often the first steps in troubleshooting a device becuase it is useful to repair small defects as well as do no harm to data in the device. Especially for Samsung phone with non-removable battery, a soft reset can be used to simulate a "battery pull" when the phone is unresponsive or frozen.

This method is especially effective for the device that becomes frozen in boot screen after installing third-party apps recently. Under the safe mode, all third-party apps are disabled and the phone is back to default settings. If the phone fuctions in safe mode, it is very likely that the malware cause the problem.

Tip: If the "Uninstall" button on any app is grayed out, it is probably because that the app has been activated as a device administrator. So go to "Security" > "Device Administrator" and uncheck the box next to the app, then you can go back and uninstall the app.
