Troubleshooting
Device does not power on
Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a charger for at least 30 minutes and try powering it on again. If the issue persists, try a different charger and cable.
Overheating during use
Close background applications, reduce screen brightness, or disable demanding features temporarily. Ensure the cooling vents are not obstructed. Avoid using the device in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
Poor camera performance in low light
Ensure the lens is clean. Utilize the 'Night Mode' or AI-enhanced photography features for optimal results. Avoid shaking the device during capture.
