The Most Common Problems Of Samsung Phones And How To Fix Them

Regardless Of The Popularity Of Samsung Phones, These Smartphones Are Sometimes Associated With Problems We Are Going To Learn About In This Article.

We all know that Samsung phones are among the market’s most popular and best-selling phones. By producing high-quality phones in all price ranges, this company is always trying to provide the needs and demands of users; however, as we have already talked about the problems and weaknesses of Xiaomi phones, we cannot ignore the fact that no smartphone is perfect and Samsung phones may also face mild and annoying issues over time.

Fortunately, in many cases, you can solve the existing problem by doing some practical tips; But others require a fundamental change in the software or hardware of Samsung phones. This article will address the most common issues with Samsung phones and provide suitable solutions.

One UI issues

While many of us agree that One UI is one of the best user interfaces available on Android phones, it should also be noted that some parts are poorly designed or incomplete.

For example, there is no option to change the shape of app icons. Of course, this possibility was available in one of the older versions of One UI; But Samsung removed it in newer versions of this user interface for unknown reasons; So, if the app icons have become repetitive and boring, you have no way to change their appearance; Unless you switch to apps like Good Lock and use it to customize your home screen, lock screen, recent apps layout, change app icons, quick settings panel, and more. You can download this app for free from Galaxy Store.

A fingerprint sensor problem in Samsung phones

One thing that many Samsung users have complained about is that it takes a long time for the phone to register the fingerprint. You may have faced this issue if you are using mid-range Samsung phones. This problem, which may sometimes be due to the roughness of the fingertip or the installation of glasses, is a bit unpleasant; But by doing a series of actions, you can fix it to some extent.

On the other hand, even when you register a fingerprint, you may face problems unlocking the phone. Imagine that when you are in a hurry and need to open the phone quickly, you want to fiddle with this sensor for several seconds and finally decide to skip unlocking the phone with the sensor and switch to entering the password.

However, if you are also facing this problem and are looking for a solution, go to the phone settings and activate the Touch Sensitivity option in the Display section. This option increases the touch sensitivity of the phone. After starting it, you will see that the problem of Fingerprint slowness has been partially resolved, and you can use it more easily.

Bloatware applications

Android phones are full of pre-installed apps that take up storage space and slow down the device. Of course, some are useful and considered an excellent alternative to Google applications. The number of bloatware in Samsung phones is a bit more than usual, and if you want more storage space, you have to remove them manually, which, unfortunately, is not that easy.

If you are looking for a way to remove these apps, your only option is to root your phone. Rooting has many advantages and disadvantages, and it is better to read the article on how to embed all Samsung phones before doing this.

Poor quality of some Samsung phones

It seems that Samsung is not as sensitive as it should be in making some phones, especially the M series models, and puts them on the market with poor quality. For example, if you have experience working with the Galaxy M52, you probably noticed that the back panel is a little loose from the start, and you will see the gap between the rear panel and the hardware part.

Samsung Pass is not compatible with the Chrome browser.

Samsung Pass is one of Samsung’s applications that you can use to quickly enter websites and applications without the need to enter a password and only with a fingerprint sensor. The app is protected using the Samsung Knox security system, one of the most secure Android security platforms, making Samsung Pay more secure than third-party authentication services like LastPass.

However, Samsung Pass is only available in the company’s default mobile browser, and if you use Chrome or any other browser as the default, you won’t be able to take advantage of its benefits and Knox security; Therefore, instead of using password management software, we recommend that you use Samsung’s browser as the default to ensure the safety of your passwords.

Random reboot

Samsung’s Galaxy A and M series phones are no strangers to problems. In 2021, a report of Samsung phone user issues in India revealed that many Galaxy A-series and M-series phones suffered from subjects, including random reboots. This problem was related to the Exynos chipset used in these phones. Galaxy M31, Galaxy A50, Galaxy M30s, Galaxy M31s, Galaxy A51, and Galaxy A50s are the phones specifically affected by this problem.

Early battery discharge

Abnormal discharge of Samsung phone battery does not necessarily mean the battery is damaged. This can have simple reasons that you can control to increase battery life. Of course, you must know that these things are not only for Samsung phones; by doing them, you can save the battery of all Android smartphones.

One of the things that is not paid much attention to is that the filter breaker is always on. These days, many of us keep this software on all the time so that we don’t have to activate and deactivate it several times a day. VPN consumes a large part of the battery charge and makes you charge the phone twice or more a day; Therefore, always try to activate it only when needed.

Connection options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and, most importantly, Hotspot, also play a role in battery drain; Therefore, we recommend enabling these features only when necessary. However, if you have to use them all the time and at the same time you suffer from premature battery drain, you should know that this issue is inevitable, and you can help increase the battery charge only by disabling such features. In addition, it is better to reduce the screen’s brightness as much as possible and turn off the Always On Display feature. You can get more tips in the article about tricks to increase the charging capacity of Android phones.

Vulnerability of communication antennas and connections during impact

A common problem faced by some M and A series model users is the vulnerability of communication antennas. Antenna skipping usually occurs for low battery percentage, blocked cell phone signals, or other causes. Still, an important point that applies to some Samsung devices is the jump of the antenna when the phone hits an object or hits it. Also, due to the low quality of construction, the hardware connection cables may be easily disconnected and cause many problems.

Screen freezing in Samsung phones

One of the most common problems with older Samsung phones is the screen freezing or freezing, which can be caused by too much data being loaded into the phone’s cache or cache.

If you encounter such a problem and find that the screen does not work while using the phone, lock the phone with the power button and unlock it again. If the pain is not too severe, this will return the screen to normal.

But if the power button doesn’t respond while the screen is stuck, try restarting the phone. It should be mentioned that if you have to restart the phone every time to fix this problem, it is better to reset the phone once because this will solve many phone problems.

Wi-Fi connection problem in Samsung phone

The problem of connecting to Wi-Fi in Samsung phones is not that worrying, and the reason can be a disturbance in the signals or the presence of a pain in the Wi-Fi network and is not necessarily related to the phone; however, restarting the phone can be an excellent solution to solve the problem of connecting to Wi-Fi, and if If it doesn’t work, you can put the phone on airplane mode for a few seconds and try to connect to Wi-Fi again.

The problem with downloading apps from Google Play

Many people complain about not downloading apps from Google Play, and it seems that many of them are Samsung users; however, there is nothing to worry about, and you only need to make small changes to your Google Play Store settings. To solve this problem, first clear the Google Play cache and try downloading the apps again after restarting the phone. If that doesn’t work, try other solutions, like clearing the history. Google Play is currently filtered, and you cannot access it without using a filter breaker.

Power button settings

On most Android phones, holding the power button for a few seconds will activate the shutdown menu, and you can choose between shutdown or reboot. While Samsung has assigned the power button to Bixby, and if you hold it, you will face the settings of this voice assistant.

Of course, this is due to the default settings of Samsung phones, and it cannot be considered a problem; however, some users may not know that the locations of the power button can be changed, and since many people do not use Bixby, maybe the shutdown menu is more beneficial for them. have To change the settings of this button, in the settings search section, search for the word Side Key and change its mode to Power off Menu.

Battery overheating

The overheating phenomenon of smartphones is directly related to the battery of the phone, and it cannot be said that it is only for Samsung phones; Because some other Android phones, including Xiaomi, are not immune to this problem; however, there are some solutions to solve the problem of overheating in Android phones, which you can translate to some extent by doing them.

Always try to keep the phone temperature between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius; extreme cold can also harm the battery and heat. Another point is not to expose the phone to sunlight or other heat sources as much as possible. Also, it’s best to turn off mobile data when you don’t need it.

Sometimes, the overheating of the phone is due to the aging of the battery; on the other hand, some smartphones have had this problem from the beginning. In such cases, if you do not succeed with any of the solutions, rooting the phone may help you.
