Method 1: Force restart the phone while connected to power

A post-update charging bug can freeze power management services until the phone fully restarts.

1. Connect the Galaxy S25 to a known-good charger.
2. Press and hold Volume Down and Side for about 20 seconds.
3. See whether the charging icon appears after the reboot.

Method 2: Check the cable, adapter, and wall outlet

The update may be a coincidence, so rule out charger failure first.

1. Try a different USB-C cable and Samsung-compatible adapter.
2. Plug into another wall outlet.
3. Test whether the phone charges with a different charger combination.

Method 3: Inspect and clean the USB-C port

Lint or debris in the port can stop charging or make it connect intermittently.

1. Turn the phone off.
2. Use a flashlight to inspect the USB-C port.
3. Carefully remove lint with a dry wooden or plastic tool, then test again.

Method 4: Turn off Fast Charging temporarily and test normal charging

If only fast charging broke after the update, standard charging may still work.

1. Open Settings > Battery.
2. Tap Charging settings.
3. Turn off Fast charging, reconnect the charger, and check whether slow charging starts.

Method 5: Let the phone cool down before charging again

Samsung can pause charging automatically when the phone is too hot.

1. Remove the case if the phone feels warm.
2. Leave the phone idle for several minutes in a cooler room.
3. Reconnect the charger and test again.

Method 6: Wipe the cache partition

System cache corruption after an update can break charging behavior and battery services.

1. Power off the phone.
2. Boot into Recovery Mode using Volume Up and Side.
3. Choose Wipe cache partition, then reboot the phone.

Method 7: Test Safe Mode and check for battery apps

A third-party app can interfere with charging detection after the update.

1. Enter Safe mode from the power menu.
2. Connect the charger and see whether charging works there.
3. If it does, uninstall recently added battery, charging, or performance apps.

Method 8: Reset all settings or seek service if the phone still will not charge

If charging never starts with known-good accessories, the issue may be deeper than settings.

1. Go to Settings > General management > Reset > Reset all settings.
2. Test charging again.
3. If it still fails, book Samsung service and mention that the issue began right after the update.
