When your Samsung USB-C charging port starts acting up, it never fails to pick the worst moment. My own Galaxy S22 chose to stop fast charging while I was on a train from London to Birmingham , right when I needed to upload a large file over 5G on EE . The phone kept switching between “Charging” and “Fast Charging”, and at first I blamed the charger.

I’ve also included quirks that only show up with Samsung devices, issues caused by UK climate (especially winter moisture), and fixes that technicians in local repair shops often use long before suggesting a replacement. Throughout the article, I’ve added internal links to relevant AvNexo hubs, such as the Samsung Brand Hub for deeper model-specific guides and the Battery ...
