7 Android 10 problems on samsung mobiles and their solution

The Android 10 update has not turned out to be as successful as it promised to be on Samsung phones. Some A-series phones, such as the Galaxy A40, A50, A51, A70 or A71 have various issues affecting different parts of the system. Other mobile phones of the company, such as the Galaxy S10, S10e or S10 Plus have reported many other operating problems, problems that in most cases have an easy solution. This time we have compiled several of these problems to solve them through various methods proposed by Samsung through the community forums.

Android Auto does not work on my Samsung mobile

Upgrading to Android 10 has completely removed the Android Auto app from Android. Now it is directly integrated into the system and is activated once we have connected the phone to the car through a USB cable. If the connection is not made correctly, we can use the Android Auto application for mobile screens, an application that we can download from this link.

In case the connection problem persists we can try the following:

• Completely unpair the phone from the car.
• Clear the cache memory of the car's App Connect application.
• Completely uninstall Android Auto from the mobile phone.
• Completely uninstall the CarMode application from the Samsung smartphone. You can find it in Settings / Applications /
• Deactivate the option of Data exchange between the car and the phone from the Car Settings menu. The location of this setting may vary depending on the model.
• Reinstall Android Auto through the Google store.

If none of these methods have worked, we will have to wait for Samsung to release an update for our phone, since several errors have recently been reported with Android Auto.

I can't activate the new Android 10 gestures on my Samsung mobile

This is not a problem to use, but a limitation of Android 10. Apparently, the latest version is not compatible with third-party launchers , such as Nova Launcher or Poco Launcher. For this reason we will have to resort yes or yes to the One UI launcher. Once active, Android will allow us to activate full screen gestures through Settings / Screen / Navigation bar.

The battery percentage does not correspond to the actual percentage

Dozens of users have reported that after updating to Android 10 the phone shuts down when the battery percentage has not yet reached 1% or 0%. The only solution to this problem is to calibrate the battery again. The process to follow is as follows:

• Discharge the mobile battery until it turns off.
• With the mobile off, charge the battery to 100% without accessing the system.
• After reaching 100% battery, wait a couple of hours without unplugging the phone from the power.

After doing this, the battery should have been calibrated correctly. Otherwise we can repeat this procedure as many times as necessary.

The keyboard of my Samsung mobile gives problems: it closes, it locks…

The latest update from Samsung seems to present problems with the native keyboard and with some third-party keyboards, such as Google's Gboard or Swiftkey. The recommended thing in this case is to delete the data of the application in question through Settings / Applications.

Within this menu we will go to the Storage section and click on the Clear cache and Clear data options. If the problem persists, we will have to reinstall the application completely.

NFC does not work: it does not read tags, it does not activate…

Although this problem seems to have not been solved in certain Samsung phones, such as the Galaxy M20 or the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, the solution that some users have reported is to force the stop of the process that controls the aforementioned connection. We can do it through Settings / Applications. Then we will click on the three points in the upper menu and select the option to Show system applications.

Now we will only have to search for the NFC application to force its detection through the homonymous option. It is also recommended to force stop Samsung Pay and Google Pay or any other service that depends on NFC.

WiFi failure after updating: it cuts, does not connect, does not detect network…

Various WiFi related failures have been reported by different users. The solution for these problems is to reestablish the wireless connections through Settings / General administration / Reset. Within this menu we will click on the option to Reset network settings. Then all the settings will be deleted, both the stored WiFi networks and the passwords. Any issues related to the WiFi connection should have been fixed.

Bluetooth is not working properly

Another network problem similar to the previous one. In this case, it is recommended to follow the same process to reset all network settings. If this process does not solve the Bluetooth problems, we will have to make sure that the function related to optimizing the use of the battery does not affect the mentioned connection. We can check it in Settings / Applications.

Then we will click on the three points in the upper bar and select the Special Access option. Next we will go to the option to Optimize battery use. Finally we will check that the Bluetooth services, Bluetooth MIDI Service and BluetoothTest are checked.

If the previous solution still does not work, we can use a third-party application to manage Bluetooth connections independently. Bluetooth Pair is the best application we have been able to find for this purpose.

And if none of the above works…

Resetting the phone completely may be the best solution. In Settings / General Administration / Reset we can find the option to format our phone. Any software bug will be fixed, unless the bug is from a faulty component. In this case we will have to contact Samsung directly.
