Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on or is unresponsive.

Ensure the device is charged. Connect to the 45W Super Fast Charger for at least 15 minutes. If it's still unresponsive, perform a force restart by holding the Power button and Volume Down button simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds.

Performance feels slow or apps are lagging.

Close unnecessary background applications to free up RAM. Clear app caches from `Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear cache`. Ensure you have enough free storage (at least 15-20% of 256GB). Restarting the phone can often resolve temporary slowdowns.

Battery drains faster than expected.

Check battery usage in `Settings > Battery and device care > Battery` to identify draining apps. Reduce screen brightness, shorten screen timeout, and disable unused features like GPS, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth when not needed. Consider enabling power-saving mode.

Camera app is not working or crashing.

Try force-closing the camera app (`Settings > Apps > Camera > Force stop`). If the issue persists, restart the phone. You can also try clearing the camera app's cache and data, but note this will reset camera settings to default.

Cannot connect to 5G network or Wi-Fi.

For 5G: Ensure your SIM card supports 5G, your plan includes 5G data, and you are in a 5G coverage area. Go to `Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > Network mode` and select a 5G/LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) option. For Wi-Fi: Restart your router and the phone. Forget the network (`Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > [Network Name] > Forget`) and reconnect.
