Samsung not charging? Check the adapter, charging cable or power supply

Your Samsung is not charging? Then it is important to check the power supply, such as the adapter or charging cable. The first thought is often that your Samsung is not charging because the battery is broken. However, we always recommend checking the power supply first. Since this problem is not always visible, test it by using a different adapter and,or charging cable. By following these steps, you rule out the possibility that the problem is caused by the power supply.

Pro tip: Sometimes the solution is to simply try a different outlet.

Samsung no longer charges due to dust in charging port

If your Samsung won’t charge, it could be that there is dust in your charging port. In that case, the dust causes your samsung phone to not want to charge. Fortunately, dust removal is not higher math. However, it is important for you to be meticulous. Use tweezers or other thin object for this purpose. By being heavy-handed in removing the dust, you may permanently damage the charging port and your Samsung’s charging port will break. Would you rather not clean your Samsung phone’s charging port yourself? Then stop by ThePhoneLab! At ThePhoneLab, with a thorough cleaning, we can repair your phone much cheaper.

Use original charger

A charger often fails a lot faster than the phone itself. It goes without saying then that without a working charger, your Samsung battery won’t charge either. When buying a new charger, it is important that you do not buy a poor quality charger. By buying a cheap charger, you jeopardize the life of your Samsung. A cheaper charger does make sure your Samsung recharges, but sometimes lacks a chip that ensures the safety of your phone. As a result, your Samsung battery may overcharge or receive excessive voltages. When buying a charger, check that it is certified to prevent damage to your Samsung.

Samsung not charging after update

Samsung not charging after update? That’s annoying! Since Samsung regularly releases security, and software updates, your Samsung phone suddenly shows problems with battery charging.

Samsung warning when charging

Does a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark appear on your Samsung image after you put your Samsung phone on the charger? That’s annoying. Your Samsung gives a warning when charging, but what does this yellow triangle mean? In many cases, this triangle gives you a warning that moisture, dust or dirt or a short circuit has been detected in the charging port. If the device feels that any of these factors are present in the charging port, your Samsung phone may turn off charging. If this warning occurs, immediately remove the charger from the device. The moment there is actually water in the charging port and you charge the device, it can cause damage to the charging port and the entire device.

You can do this yourself with thin tweezers or stop by ThePhoneLab. We’ll do this for you at no charge and this way you won’t have the risk of doing damage yourself. Is that not the case? Then stop by for a free examination. In many cases, replacing the charging port is the permanent solution to your charging problems.

Samsung not charging due to broken battery

Following the global recall of the Samsung Note 7, Samsung installed temperature, and humidity sensors in both the battery and charging port. By doing so, the brand prevents models from exploding again. The sensor can interrupt the charging of your Samsung. The phone does this if the battery gets too hot or detects moisture. Unfortunately, these sensors also cause problems. If the sensor is faulty, your Samsung thinks it is overheating when it is not. This is very annoying and prevents you from charging your Samsung. In other cases, the battery life is at its end and therefore the Samsung shows charging problems.

Samsung slow to charge or wirelessly fails to charge

New Samsung models support fast charging and wireless charging. Is this not working properly? Then the problem could be an incompatible cable, adapter or wireless charger. Especially with USB C cables and Power Delivery chargers, it is important that they are compatible with your device. You may also find that the phone temporarily charges more slowly to prevent overheating or battery wear.

In addition, check that fast charging is enabled in the settings. Go to Settings > Battery and Device Maintenance > Battery > More battery settings and check if fast charging and wireless fast charging are on.

Are you using a case? If so, it may block wireless charging. Remove the case and try again.
