The year 2019 blessed us with many new devices, and one of them is Samsung’s Galaxy A20. It is stylish and beautiful, and it brings the world-famous Samsung quality. And one of the best features of the A20 is its 4000 mAh battery.
It should last for a couple of days, which means you can stop checking where the charger is all the time. But what if it doesn’t load properly? You are getting ready for bed and plugging it in to charge, but something is wrong. What can you do when this problem occurs?

EXAMINE THE PROBLEM WITH AN APP
If your Samsung A20 isn’t charging or is having difficulty charging as it should, your first instinct is probably to diagnose the situation. You can use an app called Ampere , which is a great tool that allows you to check how well your phone is charging and if it is charging.
What it does is examine how much current your phone draws when charging. It also allows you to evaluate what type of charging method is best for your phone.
Connect your charger and launch the app. If the number you see on the screen is green, the device is charging. However, if it is orange, it means that the phone is discharging and losing power.
Now, there are a few things you can do to reverse this process. Once you test each of them, you can go back and examine the upload protocol with the app again.
CHECK THE CABLE
Before you get too mad that your Samsung A20 is not charging, check the cable. Usually you don’t expect there to be anything wrong with it, but it does happen. Inspect both ends of the cable thoroughly and check if anything is obstructing the electricity. Look closely to see if anything is sticking out or covering the ends or if there is any damage or dirt.
If you carry your charger with you all the time in bags and pockets, it is not inconceivable that it has been damaged. Also, if the cable is coiled most of the time, small changes and damage may appear. The easiest way to make sure that the cable is causing the problem is to use a different cable. Better to find a Samsung cable, to be safe.
CHECK THE WALL ADAPTER
You should also examine the wall adapter. There is a possibility that the USB port of the adapter is broken or damaged. And just like the cable, the best way to know if the adapter is causing the problem is to try another.
If you don’t have another one nearby, connect the cable to your computer and see if it charges. If everything works fine that way, you are probably dealing with a faulty wall adapter.
CHECK THE USB CONNECTOR
Both the cable and the wall adapter can be compromised and damaged. But the same applies to the USB socket on your phone. A small piece of dirt can get in there, and that is sometimes enough to cause problems with charging. See if you can find something that can send compressed air to the USB port. That should do the trick and fix the problem.
RESET YOUR PHONE
If it turns out that the cable and wall adapter are fine, but your A20 is still not charging, it’s time to restart it. That will only take a minute, and often that’s all it takes to push through any minor issues with your phone. So, go ahead and:
Press and hold the volume down button. Do not let him go.
At the same time, press and hold the Power key.
Hold down both keys for about 15 seconds until you see the Galaxy A20 logo on the screen.
Try connecting your phone to the charger again and check if it is charging.
TURN OFF YOUR PHONE
There is a possibility that your phone is using the battery faster than it is charging. It can happen when you are using a battery-draining program or playing a game with high-end graphics. So even if your phone is on the charger while you are using it, it may not be charging.
So what you need to do is turn off your phone while it is charging. Or at least turn off the screen. Sometimes even switching to airplane mode can help speed up loading time.
WHAT PERCENTAGE ARE YOU?
When do you start charging your phone? When the battery drops below 50%, or wait until they last between 3 and 4% to find your charger. Nobody expects to have problems with the charger, especially if it is your new Samsung Galaxy A20. But when it happens, you have to deal with it.
Fortunately, there are things you can do and tools you can use. The worst case is that you have to buy a new charger. Or, well, a new ba
