Hi, all. Hopefully someone can help me with this issue.
The Switch has a feature where I can scan a QR code and connect to it via my smart device to easily transfer photos and videos wirelessly. I recently upgraded from my Galaxy S8 to an S20. On my old phone, it worked perfectly fine, but on this new phone, whenever I try to connect to the Switch via the QR code, it tells me I have the wrong password. I even manually input the password and it still says it is wrong. I am able to connect any other regular Wi-Fi network without an issue.
I have also tried: - Restarting both devices - Connecting to the Switch with another smartphone (it worked) - Manually inputting all the network info (it didn't work) - Resetting all the network data on my phone, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
I just want to be able to connect to the Switch as I have in the past. Any help is appreciated!
I would make sure that your phone and apps are both up to date. Next, I would clear the cache partition on your phone. If those steps don't work I would recommend that you get in contact with Nintendo for further assistance. Here are the steps to clearing the cache partition on your phone.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby / Power key.
When the Android logo displays, release both keys.
An 'Installing system update' message may show briefly before the Android Recovery menu options appear.
Press the Volume down key several times to highlight Wipe cache partition.
Press Bixby / Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight Yes, then press the Bixby / Power key to select.
When the process is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
Press the Bixby / Power key to restart the device.
