One of the popular solutions that we found online by other consumers is to turn off the phone while being unplugged then plug it in the charger and then turn the phone on again. That seemed to work for some but did not resolve it for many others.

How to unplug Samsung charger - basic instructions

1. To unplug a Samsung charger from a device, you should first ensure that both the device and the charger are powered off. Then, gently grasp the connector head of the charger and pull it straight out of the device's charging port.
2. It's important to be gentle when unplugging the charger to avoid damaging the charging port on your device or the connector on your charger.
3. Also, make sure that the charger is fully unplugged and not just loose, otherwise it may not charge your device properly.
4. It's also important to note that you should not pull the cord itself, instead pull only the connector head.
5. To disconnect the charger from the wall outlet, simply pull the plug out of the wall socket.

Keep in mind that it's best to unplug your device and charger when not in use to save energy and prolong the life of the battery.
