Each mobile device is a world. For some users it works perfectly and others find small inconveniences that complicate their daily tasks. A dynamic that seems to be repeated in the Galaxy Samsung A50.
There are many users who have raised in different forums that they have had several headaches with this Samsung terminal.
We go over the top reported Samsung Galaxy A50 issues and possible solutions.
The fingerprint reader does not work
If you have problems with the fingerprint sensor, don't worry, you are not the first. Fingerprint identification is causing more of a headache. One of the latest updates should have fixed this problem, but if it's not your case, you can try one of these solutions.
A quick solution is to re-register the fingerprints from scratch, following the instructions to the letter. Pay special attention to registering the sides of the finger so that the sensor has the precise data for identification. Another trick that has worked for some users is to register the same finger twice.
On the other hand, those who use a screen protector have tried to improve the sensitivity of the screen so that it does not cause problems with the fingerprint reader. To do this, you need to go to Settings >> Screen >> touch sensitivity.
WiFi is disconnected or not recognized
Does the WiFi disconnect and then the device doesn't recognize it? Samsung has already released an update to fix this problem, but if you continue to have intermittent connection with the WiFi there is an option that you can try: Keep the WiFi on while the mobile is at rest.
Keeping the WiFi inactive while we are not using the mobile is an option of the device to save battery in unnecessary processes. However, this setting can sometimes cause problems. If you want to test if this is your case, go to Settings >> Connections >> WiFi >> Advanced options >> Disable WiFi in connection.
There are also other basic aspects to take into account, for example, if you are sharing WiFi with multiple devices it may create conflicts affecting the connection.
It consumes a lot of battery
Samsung Galaxy A50 has a 4000 mAh battery that can provide up to 19 hours of video playback or 23 hours of talk time. But some users have noticed that it doesn't perform as well as it promises.
We already know that excessive battery consumption can depend on different factors. Too many applications in the background, poor mobile configuration or some software problem that affects the optimization of the battery can be some of the reasons.
A quick solution to check the maintenance of our device or if you have a battery problem is to go to Settings >> Device care.
It will automatically show us if there are problems, for example, if there are applications consuming the battery. Then we select "Optimize Now" to either fix the problem or give us suggestions to optimize the battery.
Another option is to enter Battery >> Advanced settings (from the three dots) and customize some options. For example, suspending apps that are not used frequently, adjusting screen timeout, brightness, and more.
Or you can choose Adaptive Battery to automatically apply the best settings to increase battery life.
Device overheating
This problem is linked to the previous one. Many have reported battery overheating. Try to follow up on this topic to understand if it is a hardware problem or if it is a pattern that repeats when you perform certain actions on the device.
Does the battery get hot when you play HD videos? When do you play? Or when downloading large files? Or are you using too many apps at once? Take a look at the battery section we mentioned earlier and see which applications or processes are consuming your battery and contributing to overheating.
Background apps are also a great threat, just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't working and overloading your device. An easy way to solve this is by using apps like App Terminator, which closes background apps and other details that exceed the capacity of the device.
Or maybe you can test if you have problems with the charger with apps like Ampere.
If even with a more moderate and controlled activity you continue to notice that it becomes hot then it remains to reset the device settings. A definitive measure to know if the problem is software or if it is a hardware defect.
Bluetooth not working
Are you having trouble connecting bluetooth headphones with Samsung A50? It happens to many that the headphones are constantly connected and disconnected or only last a few minutes connected.
One option to solve this problem is to use an app such as Bluetooth Auto Connect that corrects connection errors. It is only necessary to install it and follow the instructions.
Or you can try some simple options in device settings:
- Clear the Bluetooth cache. You have to go to Settings >> Applications >> Bluetooth >> Clear cache.
- Delete paired devices as too many devices can affect the process. This can be done from the Bluetooth settings.
And a point that you should not forget is the battery optimization setting that is activated automatically when you have low battery. And this prevents you from using some connectivity features like Bluetooth. So make sure you have your mobile charged or deactivate this function.
If none of the settings or these little tricks work for you, you can resort to resetting the device values if you think it is convenient. But if your Samsung Galaxy A50 is new and you notice that the problems persist then make use of your warranty and ask for official assistance.
