Nowadays in the era of regular mobile usage battery draining problem is common which we can fix by enabling and disabling some functions. But if your Samsung smartphone battery is not charging then it is a big problem because now you are not able to use your smartphone.
Here you can see some measures if your Samsung smartphone battery is not charging. Let us tell you that if you are facing such issues, then there may be some error in the battery, charger, charging cradle, or mobile phone charging terminal.
Firstly, check the battery charging time of your smartphone through the Settings app then tap on the Battery option under Battery and Device care section.
Condition 1: If the battery is not charging, the charging speed is slow, or the battery life is shortened
If the temperature rises above a certain level or if heat occurs, charging may not be possible or the charging speed may be slow. In that case, wait until the temperature cools down and charge again after a while.
Still, if you suspect performance degradation, such as frequent failure to charge or reduced usage time, inspection at the nearest service center is necessary.
Remember that the warranty period of the battery is 1 year and if the battery is found defective through diagnosis by an engineer at the center, the battery will be replaced free of charge within the warranty period.
Condition 2: The charger is abnormal (failed) or there is another object on the charging terminal
For that, you can self-diagnose wired/wireless chargers. To do so, follow the steps mentioned below.
- Open the Samsung Members app on your Galaxy smartphone.
- Press on the Support menu located at the bottom right corner.
- Press on the Phone diagnostics option.
- Scroll down and click on Cable charging / Wireless charging
*Note: Make sure to charge your smartphone with cable or wireless charger while you are testing.
After the self-diagnosis, a check icon will appear on the feature icon if it doesn’t have a problem, and an exclamation mark will appear for any feature that has a problem or hasn’t been tested.
Due to some objects on the charging terminal of the mobile phone or on the charger terminal, charging may not be possible. In this case, check if there is any matter on the charging terminal, clean it with a soft brush, and then try charging again.
If the battery does not charge even after removing the foreign material, please visit the nearest service center.

Samsung has delayed this year’s One UI Beta Program. The One UI 7 Beta is scheduled to be launched by the end of this year; will Samsung be able to offer a bug-free experience to Galaxy smartphone users?
One UI 6 Beta launched in August last year. The Galaxy S23 series was the first to join the Beta testing activity. Later, the company expanded the Beta Program to many older Galaxy devices including phones and foldables.
The last year’s Beta Program lasted nearly 3 months. The Korean tech giant released 9 major Beta updates to the Galaxy S23 series. The initial builds were filled with a lot of bugs as well as completely conflicted animations.
Judging from the current situation, a short Beta Program is inevitable this year. All the recent developments indicate a seamless Beta activity, covering “developers” only, as confirmed by Samsung at SDC24.
Samsung teased One UI 7 features Simple, Impactful, and Emotive design components. The company is exploring a fresh new design across the interface. There could be many new ways for personalization in your Galaxy device.
In a dramatic move, Samsung announced final One UI 7 will launch with the Galaxy S25 series next year. The recently released One UI 6.1.1 features enhance the user experience, but the major update will remain awaited till the first quarter.
It also remains to be seen whether Samsung will launch Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta in 7 markets or alter availability. The market count might decrease to the Watch Beta or go global for select newer Galaxy models.

Google has started rolling out new Theft Protection features for Android devices including Samsung Galaxy devices running version 10 and above. Announced at the I/O 2024 event in May, these new features help to keep your personal information safe if your phone gets stolen.
The trio of Theft Protection features are now becoming available to Android users including those with devices from brands like Pixel and Samsung. You can start seeing these new features if you’re part of the Google Play services beta (version 24.40.33) program.
Google Theft Protection
The Theft Protection is a new privacy and device safety feature added under Google Services. It helps to keep your personal data safe if your device is stolen.
To access the new theft protection features, check the Theft protection in your device’s Settings app. You can also go to the Google Services page and find it under the All Services tab. This feature includes three main options, they are:
1.) Theft Detection Lock
This feature uses your device’s sensors, Wi-Fi, and smart device connections to detect if someone suddenly grabs your phone while you’re using it. If this happens, your phone will automatically lock its screen to unauthorized access to your personal data.
2.) Offline Device Lock
This feature starts its work if someone steals your phone and turns off the internet to stop tracking. For that, Google mentions two conditions – you need to be using your phone while it’s unlocked, and you can only lock the screen up to twice a day.
3.) Remote Lock
If your phone is stolen, you can go to android.com/lock to lock it remotely. You’ll need to confirm your identity with a phone number and answer a security question. This is faster than the Find My Device method.
With these features, Google aims to enhance your security and protect your personal information. The company will soon make these features available to all Android users through a stable update.
