Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power source using a compatible charger and cable for at least 30 minutes. If the issue persists, perform a forced restart by pressing and holding the power button and volume down button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds.

Privacy Display not hiding content effectively

Verify that the Privacy Display feature is enabled in the settings. Adjust the privacy level if available. Ensure no apps are running in split-screen mode or picture-in-picture, as this can sometimes affect privacy screen functionality.

Photos are blurry or lack detail

Clean the camera lenses with a soft cloth. Ensure you are in adequate lighting conditions or use Nightography features. Experiment with different camera modes and zoom levels. If using AI editing, ensure the settings are appropriate for the desired outcome.

Slow charging speeds

Use the Super Fast Charging 3.0 compatible charger and cable. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris. Try a different power outlet or charging adapter to rule out external factors.

Device overheating during use

Close background applications and restart the device. Reduce screen brightness or limit intensive tasks like gaming for a period. Ensure the Vapor Chamber is not obstructed and the device has adequate ventilation. Avoid direct sunlight or hot environments.
