Several Conectivity Issues

Rovillalob · November 10, 2020

I have a Samsung A20s and it's acting kinda weird, mostly when it comes to conectivity. I started noticing that my wifi signal wasn't as strong as it should be (I loose signal where other phones and devices can just breeze through internet). And it became really noticeable when I tried to connect to bluetooth devices, but depending on the device is the problem I have. For example, I have no problem connecting to my speakers, but if I pair my cellphone to the cars bluetooth and then unpair it, I have to restart the phone, otherwise I get a "Connection Error" message. With "unpair" I mean manually deactivating bluetooth or turning the car off. Also, if I try to pair with my notebook I get the "Connection Error" message every single time. I also have the feeling that my 4G signal goes up and down in some places but that usually happens when I'm alone so I cannt compare with another phone. Bluetooth is my biggest problem right now as I use it quite a lot for work.

Another funny thing that it does is that it restarts itself when I charge it (using the original charger and cable). It only does it once per charge cycle. I havn't experimented to pinpoint what the problem is, its not really a problem (for now).

I really hope to find a solution without having to set the phone to factory settings.

TL;DR: Big problem: Wireless connections are funky. Little problem: Phone restarts while charging (but only once per charge cycle).

Have you tried something like a phone information app that gives detailed info on your device? There are a few that have some tests built in for display and connection issues, and some will show how strong of a signal you got (better than your GUI) and what kind of connection. May be helpful.
