Fix if your Galaxy S20 is not charging
Here are a few solutions to the problem where your Galaxy S20 is not charging:
Use another set of charging accessories
If your Galaxy S20 still won’t turn on at this point, you want to make sure that the reason for it is not the charging accessories. If you can borrow another charging cable or adapter from someone, that would be great. It’s the easiest way to test if the current set you are using is defective or not. If you have a defective charger, it can be the reason why the device is not turning on.
Inspect charging port
If your Galaxy S20 still won’t charge, the next good thing to do is to do a visual check on the charging port. You want to make sure that the port is clean and there’s no debris, dirt, or foreign object that blocks the tip of the cable. If you see dirt or debris inside, use a can of compressed air to take it out. Avoid sticking anything into the port as that might damage the system.
Simple Reboot or Forced reboot
Well, I think you already know how to restart your phone. So just restart the device and see whether it solves the issue or not. Restarting a device is always an ultimate solution for any issue. Not only Pixel but this applies to each and every electronic device. I used to tell my mom to restart her device if she faces any issue with her smartphone.
Well if you still need to know how to restart then, here is it: Press your phone’s power button. On the screen, tap Restart.
The other way of the reboot is as follows:
- Press and hold the Volume Down button.
- While holding it down, press and hold the Power key.
- Keep the button held for 10 seconds, it will be restarted automatically.
If this doesn’t work then head to the next method.
Rebooting your device regularly at least once every week can be beneficial. If you tend to forget things, we suggest that you configure your phone to reboot on its own. You can schedule it to do this task by doing these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Device Care.
- Tap the 3-dot at the top.
- Select Auto restart.
Charge in Safe Mode
In case you don’t know what is safe mode, in safe mode, the system temporarily disable all third-party applications you installed on your device. Follow the below steps to boot in safe mode:
- Turn OFF the device.
- Press and hold your device’s Power button till the model name screen.
- When the SAMSUNG logo appears on the screen, release the Power key.
- Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
- Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
- Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
While you are in safe mode, try to charge the phone with your set of charging accessories and another set charging accessories as well. Remember that third-party applications are disabled in this mode so what you can use are pre-installed apps. If Galaxy S20 charges normally to safe mode successfully, that means that the problem is due to a bad app. Uninstall the app you recently installed and see if that will fix it.
