To summarize, numerous smartphone companies are on the market, but one stands out above the rest: Samsung. Although LG is on the same level, they have fallen behind since it suspended its smartphone division. As a giant in the industry, Samsung has always stood out as a unique company.

They have come up with some fresh and innovative ideas, one of which is the Game Optimization Service (GOS). GOS is a service that Samsung introduced to balance gaming performance on their phones. The service allows the phone’s processor to be effectively allocated to games and ensures that users do not experience lag. However, as it delivers a lot of annoying notifications, a surprising number of Samsung users want to disable them but need to know how. Therefore, we will discuss how to disable GOS here.

How to Disable Samsung’s Game Optimization Service

The Galaxy Store describes the Game Optimization Service (GOS) as a dedicated gaming service. Its main objective is to effectively balance the phone’s operation and gaming to ensure that you have a memorable gaming experience. As part of its optimization, GOS includes the Game Launcher, Game Tools, Game Tuner, and Game Box Launcher apps. Concerning these apps, GOS facilitates app management, CPU, and device optimization while gaming.

However, it begs the question: even though the service is so effective, why would people want to stop using it? We have found that GOS drains the phone’s battery, introduces annoying notifications, and has a few touchscreen problems. Now that Samsung users are experiencing these problems, they are opting to turn off GOS, despite knowing its benefits of it. For this reason, below are the steps to disable it.

Note: There are plenty of ways to disable GOS on Samsung. Here, we are using ADB App Control to do so. Also, remember to make a backup before proceeding with the following steps.

Disable the Game Optimization Service (GOS) on Samsung. Follow these steps:

  • Open your phone settings and navigate to “About Phone.”
  • Tap the “Build Number” option seven times to enable developer options.
  • Under developer options, enable USB debugging.
  • Install ADB (Android Debug Bridge) on your Windows or Mac computer.
  • Download and install ADB App Control on your PC.
  • Install the ADB control app from the ADB folder.
  • Connect your phone to your PC and allow ADB access.
  • Launch the ADB App Control EXE file.
  • The PC will display all the apps installed on your phone.

  • Apply the changes and restart your phone.

You have now successfully disabled Samsung’s GOS.

Alternatively, you can use the ADB command and the FreezeYou app to disable Samsung GOS. However, we will not discuss them here, as both methods are complicated and technical.
