Reassure your customers with Samsung’s Maintenance Mode!

Updated at: 23 September 2024

In one of our previous blogs, we talked about a key contradiction when deciding whether to repair a mobile device. While 80% of consumers are open to fixing their broken smartphone, 60% still end up buying a new one.

One of the main concerns is whether their personal data is safe during the repair process. They often wonder: is my data secure?

As repair professionals, we know there's no need for this worry. But how can we reassure customers? Maybe by recommending Samsung’s Maintenance Mode. Below is a text you can share with your customers to not only boost your reputation but also bring in more business.


Your data is safe during repairs with Samsung’s Maintenance Mode!

Thinking about getting your Samsung smartphone or tablet repaired but worried about your data’s security? Samsung's Maintenance Mode is the perfect solution! It limits access to sensitive data on your device, ensuring no one else can view it while your phone or tablet is being repaired.

When your device is in Maintenance Mode:

  • The technician won’t have access to your photos, videos, or files.
  • The technician can’t view your contacts or call logs.
  • The technician won’t see your SMS messages.
  • The technician can only access pre-installed apps. Any app login will require usernames and passwords.

1. Open the Settings app.


2. Tap Battery and device care.


3.
Tap Maintenance Mode.


4. Tap Turn on.


5.
When you activate Maintenance Mode, you'll have the option to create a log file.
This system log contains information on recent app usage and system errors, which may help in diagnosing your device.

6.
Tap Restart.
Your device will now restart in Maintenance Mode.


How do I disable Maintenance Mode on my device?

Once the repair is done, you can disable Maintenance Mode:

1. Open the Settings app.


2. Tap Battery and device care.


3.
Tap Maintenance Mode.


4.
