The Galaxy S20 is one of the best phones you can buy right now, but it’s not perfect. With a big, beautiful screen and tons of powerful cameras, it has a lot to offer, but sometimes the software side in Android 10 (One UI 2.0) leaves a little to be desired. You may run into problems and in this quick guide we will show you how to reset a frozen Galaxy S20 in a few easy steps.
Just like any computer, the Galaxy S20 may crash and become unresponsive, basically freezing completely. So don’t panic because usually this is an easy fix and you just need to reboot. Here’s how to fix it by forcing your phone to restart.
Did you know that a quick reboot will fix almost any minor Galaxy S20 problem? It’s a quick and easy trick everyone should know, and here are the instructions. As a reminder, it’s on your phone.
- Hold + (simultaneously) until device turns off
- buttons when your phone vibrates, reboots and the Samsung logo appears (wait)
- Wait up to 30 seconds for the reboot to complete
- that’s it and you’re done
Again, none of your data, apps, photos or videos will be lost or deleted from this process. You may lose all open web browser windows, but that’s it.
If your phone has been dropped really hard or froze excessively, can restore to what is known as maintenance mode or safe mode. Follow the onscreen instructions to “reboot” with the volume keys, then press the power button to select reboot. Just be careful in safe mode and don’t mess with any of the options. Simply go and choose reboot.
This is true for the Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, Galaxy S20 Ultra and most Samsung phones released in the last few years. A quick forced restart is the first step to fix it any problem. Before you go, consider some useful Galaxy S20 accessories like the wireless charging pad and don’t forget to grab a case.
