Troubleshoot your Galaxy A20 that keeps losing signal
Network issues are actually pretty common as there are a lot of factors that play a role in making things work as far as connectivity is concerned. But don’t worry, there are always things that you can do to try and fix this issue. That said, here’s what you have to do:
First solution: Perform the forced restart on your phone
If it’s the first time that you encountered this problem, then the very first thing that you have to do is the Forced Restart. It will refresh your phone’s memory and reload all the services. If this problem is caused by some minor inconsistencies in the firmware, then this procedure will fix it. Here’s how it’s done:
- Press and hold the Volume Down button and don’t release it yet.
- While holding down the volume button, press and hold the Power key as well.
- Keep both keys held down together for 15 seconds or until the Galaxy A20 logo shows on the screen.
Once your device has successfully rebooted, try to see if it still keeps losing signal, or if its connections drop every now and then.

Second solution: Power-cycle your network devices
It is possible that the connection drops every now and then because your network devices fail. The best way to rule out this possibility is to power-cycle your router or modem.
- Unplug your modem or router from the wall outlet or simply disconnect the power cord from the main unit.
- Leave it without power for a minute or two.
- After that, plug it back into the wall outlet or reconnect the cord.
- Wait for the device to become online and then let your phone reconnect to it.
After this, try to observe your phone to know if it still keeps losing signal.
Third solution: Reset Network Settings to fix phone that keeps losing signal
Resetting the network settings has already been proven to be among the most effective solutions to network issues. It deletes all connections in your phone as well as reset all network services. If this is just one of those minor network problems that occur from time to time, then this procedure will fix it. Here’s how:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen to pull the notification panel down.
- Tap the Settings icon on the upper-right corner.
- Scroll to and tap General management.
- Touch Reset.
- Tap Reset network settings.
- Tap Reset settings.
- If prompted, enter your PIN, Password or Pattern.
- Finally, tap Reset.
After the reset, enable your phone’s WiFi and let it reconnect to the network. If it still keeps losing signal, then you have no other choice but to do the next procedure.

Fourth solution: Backup your files and reset your phone
A master reset will fix any software-related issues in the phone. In this case, doing so will also rule out the possibility that the problem is with the firmware, and if the issue continues after the reset, then that’s the time that you have to bring the device to the shop so that a technician can check it for you.
Now, before the reset, make sure to create a copy of your important files and data as they will all be deleted. After which, remove your Google account so that you won’t be locked out. When you’re ready, follow these steps to reset your device:
- Turn off the device.
- Press and hold the Volume Up and Power keys.
- When the Galaxy A20 logo shows, release all three keys.
- Your Galaxy A20 will continue to boot up into the Recovery Mode. Once you see a black screen with blue and yellow texts, proceed to the next step.
- Press the Volume down key several times to highlight ‘wipe data / factory reset’.
- Press Power button to select.
- Press the Volume down key until ‘Yes’ is highlighted.
- Press Power button to select and start the master reset.
- When the master reset is complete, ‘Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
