How to fix Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 charging issues?
Have your most prominent Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 charging issue? The wearable uses wireless charging to top up its battery. But like any other device, this process sometimes encounters some problems.
Solutions
- Make sure your watch charger is wall-mounted and plugged in.
- Check for any damage to the watch’s charger or charging cable. If so, use a different charger or cable if available. You can also try using it if your phone has reverse charging or wireless power share.

- Make sure the back of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and its charging dock are clean and free of the trash.
Now, if none of these simple solutions solve your problem, if your smartwatch has some reserved battery life, try rebooting it before trying to recharge it. As a last alternative, you may need to perform a factory reset on your Galaxy Watch 4.
- To do this from the watch, go to Settings> General> Reset. Press Reset again to confirm.
- If your watch still does not charge, you should take it to Samsung for a diagnosis.

Note: If your watch still warms up in Airplane Mode while in the charging dock, contact Samsung. This could be a hardware error.
