Samsung Flow allows one to connect their laptop to their Samsung Galaxy device and use it nonchalantly. However, there are various connection issues that one faces when using Samsung Flow. Sometimes, Samsung Flow fails to connect to the WiFi or start SmartView, whereas, occasionally, it fails to connect to the smartphone and has Bluetooth connectivity issues, since these issues are related to your network, in this post, we will talk about the solutions that can resolve Samsung Flow Connection issues.
Resolve Samsung Flow Connection issues
To fix Samsung Flow Connection issues, follow the solutions mentioned below.
- Power cycle or reset your router
- Remove the existing user and reconnect
- Clear data and cache of Samsung Flow
- Resolve the Bluetooth issue by switching the connectivity to Wi-Fi or LAN on your PC
Let us talk about them in detail.
1] Power cycle or reset your router
First of all, we are required to power cycle our router. Power cycling the router will clear out glitches that could have caused this issue. To do the same, power off your router, unplug all the cables, wait for a minute, plug the cables back, and turn the device on. Now, check if the connectivity issue is resolved. In case, this didn’t work, you are required to reset your router and check if the issue is resolved.
If you need to reset your WiFi router to the factory default settings, there are two main methods you can use. Some routers have a small pinhole that you can press with a paperclip or similar object to reset them, while others have a dedicated button for this purpose. To find out which method your router uses, consult the user manual that came with it. If you’re not sure how to proceed, you can always contact your internet service provider for further assistance.

- Open Settings on the Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
- Then, navigate to Apps > Samsung Flow.

Hopefully, this will do the job for you.
4] Resolve the Bluetooth issue by switching the connectivity to Wi-Fi or LAN on your PC
Sometimes, we get “Cannot access Bluetooth device” or “Bluetooth is not available” error messages when trying to access Samsung Flow. This is when there is an issue with your Bluetooth, so, try disabling and then enabling it. If that doesn’t work, run Bluetooth Troubleshooter in Get Help app. But if that too is to no avail, switch the connection to WiFi or LAN.
To change the connection to Wi-Fi or LAN on your PC, follow the steps mentioned below.
- Open the Samsung Flow app.
- Click the three vertical dots in the top right corner, then select “Settings”.
- Look for “Connection method” and click the drop-down menu. Select “Bluetooth”.
- If you prefer to use Wi-Fi or LAN instead, choose the appropriate option from the drop-down menu.
- Now, open Samsung Flow on your phone or tablet.
- Tap More options (the three vertical dots) and turn on Auto Bluetooth to enable Bluetooth when using Samsung Flow.
Hopefully, this will do the job for you.
