Reset Network Settings for US Samsung Carriers
If your Samsung Galaxy is having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, mobile data, or Bluetooth, resetting the network settings can help. Here’s how to reset network settings for US Samsung carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile without losing personal data or files.
Step 1: Open General Management Settings
Go to Settings > General management. This section contains essential system options, including language, reset, and backup controls.
Step 2: Access Reset Options
Scroll down and tap Reset. You’ll find several options, including Reset all settings, Factory data reset, and Reset network settings.
Step 3: Choose Reset Network Settings
Select Reset network settings. A confirmation screen will explain that this process resets Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile network settings to their factory defaults, but does not delete your apps or personal data.
Step 4: Confirm and Reset
Tap Reset settings and enter your PIN or password to confirm. Your phone will restart automatically, applying the default network configurations used by your carrier.
Step 5: Reconnect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
After the reset, reconnect manually to your Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices. You’ll need to re-enter Wi-Fi passwords and pair accessories like earbuds or smartwatches again.
Step 6: Test Carrier Connection
Check your mobile connection by making a test call or browsing the internet. If you still experience issues, toggle Airplane mode ON and OFF, or insert your SIM card again. For connectivity optimization, visit Connectivity & Network Settings.
Step 7: Keep Software Updated
Carrier updates often include network stability improvements. Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install to ensure your Galaxy device is running the latest version. For smoother performance, see Performance & System Optimization.

OnePlus Tip
After resetting, wait a few minutes for your carrier’s network to re-register automatically. If mobile data or MMS fails to work, restart your device again or contact your carrier’s support to refresh your SIM profile.
