How to Fix Galaxy A56 Wireless Charging Not Working

Wireless charging is one of the most convenient features on your Galaxy A56. You simply place your phone on the pad, and it charges without plugging anything in. But when it stops working, it can be frustrating, especially if you rely on it daily.

This guide walks you through the most effective ways to fix wireless charging problems and get your Galaxy A56 charging again.

Why Wireless Charging Might Not Work on Your Galaxy A56

• The charging pad is not properly connected to power.
• The phone’s position on the charger is misaligned.
• A thick or metallic phone case is blocking the connection.
• Wireless charging is disabled in settings.
• The charging pad or cable is damaged.
• Software bugs are interfering with charging detection.

Check Your Charging Pad and Power Source.

If your phone isn’t charging wirelessly, start by inspecting the charger itself. The pad must be connected to a working power outlet or USB adapter that supports fast charging.

Try plugging the charger into a different socket or using a different power adapter. A weak or faulty power source may not provide enough energy to initiate wireless charging.

Reposition Your Phone on the Charger.

Wireless chargers work only when your phone’s coil aligns perfectly with the charger’s coil. Even a slight misalignment can interrupt the charge.

Place your Galaxy A56 flat at the center of the pad and watch for the charging indicator on the screen. If it still doesn’t charge, try slightly shifting your phone until it connects.

Remove the Case or Accessories.

Some cases, especially thick or magnetic ones, can block the connection between the phone and charger. Metal plates or rings used for magnetic mounts can interfere with wireless charging completely.

Remove your phone case and place your Galaxy A56 directly on the charging pad. If it starts charging, you’ll know the case was the issue.

Enable Wireless Charging Feature.

In some situations, wireless charging may be turned off in settings after a software update or battery optimization. Enabling it ensures your phone can detect the pad again.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Battery and device care.
2. Tap Battery, and then tap More battery settings.

Check if Fast wireless charging is turned on. If it’s off, toggle it on to re-enable wireless charging.

Clean the Back of the Phone and Charger Surface.

Dust or debris between the charger and phone can prevent proper contact. Cleaning these surfaces helps ensure efficient power transfer.

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the back of your Galaxy A56 and the charging pad. Avoid using liquids, as moisture can cause charging problems.

Restart Your Galaxy A56.

A simple restart can clear temporary software issues that may stop wireless charging from working properly. Restarting refreshes the system and reinitializes power-related functions.

Press and hold the Side and Volume Down keys together until the Power menu appears. Tap Restart, and then tap it again to confirm. After rebooting, try charging wirelessly once more.

Update Your Software.

Outdated software may cause power management issues or prevent proper hardware communication. Keeping your Galaxy A56 updated ensures maximum compatibility with your charger.

1. Open Settings, and then scroll down and tap Software update.
2. Tap Download and install, and follow the prompts if an update is available.

Once the update is complete, restart your phone and try charging wirelessly again.

Try a Different Wireless Charger.

If you’ve tried everything and it still doesn’t charge, the issue may be with the charger itself. Some cheaper or older models may not be fully compatible with your device.

Test your Galaxy A56 on another Samsung-certified wireless charger. If it works there, replace your current charger.

Wireless charging problems are often caused by minor issues like poor alignment, incompatible accessories, or temporary glitches. Once you identify what’s causing the problem, your Galaxy A56 should charge normally again.
