When you have your Samsung phone connected to a charger, the battery percentage should gradually increase over time so that you are able to take your phone from the charger and use it without having to be attached to a cord. If your phone has been on the charger for a reasonable amount of time and you go to remove the charger from it, but the phone suddenly turns off, what might be the cause of this issue?

If your Samsung phone keeps turning off when disconnected from the charger, try completing a factory reset by going to ‘Settings’ > ‘Factory Data Reset’ > then swipe to confirm the reset. If this does not work, your phone will need to be inspected at a reliable repair shop.

If your Samsung phone keeps turning off, third party apps could be the cause of the issues, which can either be deleted or can be identified by running your phone in Safe Mode. Also, check the battery for any damage and be sure the power button is not being pressed by a phone case.
