Remedies for Samsung Galaxy S20 Problems

Samsung’s S20 phones are impressive technological feats without a doubt. Most users won’t experience these issues, but they are the most common issues we see with Samsung Galaxy S20 phones. Learn how to fix them below!

Galaxy S20 won’t charge galaxy s20 and galaxy s20 plus experiencing problems

Battery life is affected by a lot of variables. You need both hardware and software to charge your phone. It’s important to check several things when troubleshooting a Galaxy S20 series phone that won’t charge.

Check the power adapter, charger, and power cable. If anything is bent, obstructed, or damp, charging can fail.

Make sure your charging port is clean.

Force restart your Samsung Galaxy S20 if it still won’t charge.

Charge your phone while it’s off.

You may need a new battery if all of the above fail. Find a Samsung repair service near you.

The battery is draining quickly

You may be able to diagnose the problem with your display if your battery drains too quickly after charging. You can fix this by turning off Always On Display in Settings > Lock Screen. You can also reduce your refresh rate to 60Hz by going to Settings > Display > Motion Smoothness > 60Hz refresh rate.

The refresh rate is changing

Despite the fact that the S20 series phones have 120Hz displays, not all apps are compatible with them. A lack of compatibility is likely the reason your device switches between 60Hz and 120Hz. However, this issue can also occur if the device is overheating or if your battery level is below 5%.

Smart Unlock isn’t working

Android’s Smart Lock is one of its coolest features, but it can malfunction for a variety of reasons. Make sure your GPS is enabled and that your location has been updated. It can take a moment for you to recognize that you’re in one of your Trusted Places. If that doesn’t work, you may need to wait for a software update or you can set up a Bixby Routine to work around the problem.

Notifications aren’t displaying

A common problem is not seeing push notifications on your home screen when they are delayed or missed. In many cases, this is due to battery saving features built into your Samsung Galaxy S20. Follow these steps to see if your apps are on the “battery optimization” list:

Go to Apps > Configure apps > Battery optimization > All apps. Disable any apps that aren’t sending you notifications from this screen.

Fingerprint scanner does not recognize fingerprints

Here are a few things you can try if the fingerprint scanner on your device doesn’t recognize your fingerprint. If you have a new phone, check to see if the plastic screen protector has been removed from the scanner. Next, clean your phone to remove any excess oil or smudges that may be interfering with the scanner. In case it doesn’t work, delete your saved fingerprints and register a new one.

Bluetooth devices aren’t connecting

It’s likely that you need to reset your Bluetooth settings if your AirPods or other Bluetooth devices aren’t connecting. You can clear your Bluetooth cache by going to Settings > Apps > Bluetooth > and selecting ‘Clear Cache.’

Other Issues that Require a Repair or Update

The majority of Galaxy S20 problems are fixable at home, but some of them are software-related. If you’re experiencing one of the following problems, make sure your device has the latest Android software update:

Touchscreen issues

Camera autofocus problems

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra overheating

Wi-Fi slowdowns

5G not working

You’ll need a replacement part if a component on your Samsung Galaxy S20 breaks. In the event that you notice that your device’s fast charging isn’t working, you’re experiencing microphone problems, or you’re experiencing any other hardware malfunction, it’s best to consult a professional.
