Ensure the device is charged for at least 30 minutes using a compatible charger. If the issue persists, try a different charger and cable, or attempt a forced restart by holding the Power button and Volume Down button simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds.

Poor Wi-Fi or mobile data connection

Toggle Wi-Fi and Mobile Data off and on. Restart your device. Check your router settings or contact your mobile carrier to ensure there are no network issues in your area. Reset network settings by going to `Settings > General management > Reset > Reset network settings`.

Apps crashing or freezing

Close the app and reopen it. Clear the app's cache and data (`Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear cache/Clear data`). If the problem continues, uninstall and reinstall the app. Ensure your device's software is up to date.

Battery draining quickly

Check battery usage in `Settings > Battery and device care > Battery` to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, disable unused features like Always-On Display or background app refresh, and enable power-saving modes.

Overheating during use
