Troubleshooting
My phone's battery is draining faster than expected.
Check your app usage in 'Settings > Battery and device care > Battery'. Identify any apps consuming excessive power and close them or restrict background activity. Adjust screen brightness, enable power-saving mode, and disable unnecessary features like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when not in use.
The phone feels sluggish or apps are crashing.
First, restart your device. If the issue persists, clear the cache of problematic apps via 'Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear cache'. Ensure your device software is up-to-date by checking 'Settings > Software update'. Consider freeing up internal storage if it's nearly full (less than 10% free).
My phone was exposed to water or dust.
Despite its IP67 rating, immediately power off the device. Wipe it thoroughly with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Do not attempt to charge it if it is wet. Allow it to air dry completely for several hours (ideally 24-48 hours) before powering it back on or plugging in any accessories.
