Power off your device completely, wait 30 seconds, then power it back on. This resolves most temporary software glitches affecting the M21 and M21s.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update. The M21 and M21s benefit significantly from firmware updates that address error codes and improve stability.
Power off, then hold Volume Up + Power + Bixby buttons simultaneously until the Samsung logo appears. Select "Wipe Cache Partition" using volume keys. This is especially helpful for M21 and M21s devices experiencing persistent errors.
Go to Settings > Apps. Uninstall or disable apps installed recently before the error appeared. Third-party apps can sometimes conflict with M21 and M21s system processes.
Ensure your M21 or M21s has at least 2GB of free storage. Low storage can trigger error codes and affect performance on these devices.

If none of these steps resolve the issue on your M21 or M21s, contact Samsung support directly for hardware diagnostics and assistance.
