Ensure the device is charged by connecting it to a power source using the USB Type-C cable for at least 15-30 minutes. Try a different power outlet and cable if available.

Poor Wi-Fi or mobile data connection

Restart your device. Toggle Airplane mode on and off. Check your router or network settings. Ensure you are within network coverage. Reset network settings via Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth.

App crashing or freezing

Close the app and reopen it. Restart your device. Clear the app's cache and data (Settings > Apps > Manage apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear cache/Clear data). Ensure the app and device software are updated.

Battery draining too quickly

Check battery usage in Settings to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, disable unnecessary background app activity, and turn off features like Bluetooth or GPS when not in use. Enable battery saver mode.
