How to Fix Bluetooth issue on Galaxy S20, S20+ or S20 Ultra?

• Press and hold the power button to turn OFF the Bluetooth device.
• Then again, press and hold the power button to turn ON the Bluetooth device.

Well, I think you already know how to restart your phone. So just restart the device and see whether it solves the issue or not. Restarting a device is always an ultimate solution for any issue. Not only Pixel but this applies to each and every electronic device. I used to tell my mom to restart her device if she faces any issue with her smartphone.

Well if you still need to know how to restart then, here is it: Press your phone’s power button. On the screen, tap Restart.

The other way of the reboot is as follows:

• Press and hold the Volume Down button.
• While holding it down, press and hold the Power key.
• Keep the button held for 10 seconds, it will be restarted automatically.

If this doesn’t work then head to the next method.

Rebooting your device regularly at least once every week can be beneficial. If you tend to forget things, we suggest that you configure your phone to reboot on its own. You can schedule it to do this task by doing these steps:

• Open the Settings app.
• Tap Device Care.
• Tap the 3-dot at the top.
• Select Auto restart.

Check for errors

Sometimes, Bluetooth issues may display a certain error code or message. If there’s a particular error on your phone whenever Bluetooth stops working, be sure to take note of it and see if there’s an available online solution for it. Error codes or messages are sometimes key to solving a problem. If the code you’re getting is common, there may be other users who had posted solutions for it.
