Troubleshooting

Phone is slow or apps are crashing

Clear app caches from `Settings` > `Apps`, restart the phone, or ensure all apps and the operating system are updated to the latest versions. If issues persist, consider uninstalling recently added apps.

Battery drains too quickly

Check battery usage in `Settings` > `Battery and device care` to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, disable unused features like Bluetooth or GPS, and use `Power saving mode`.

Cannot connect to Wi-Fi

Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled in `Settings`. Try restarting your phone and your Wi-Fi router. Forget the network and try reconnecting. Verify you are within range of a Wi-Fi 5 compatible network.

Poor call quality or network signal

Ensure your SIM card is correctly inserted. Try restarting your phone. Check if `Airplane mode` is off. If the problem persists, contact your network provider as it might be a service area issue.

Camera not taking pictures or freezing

Close the camera app and reopen it. Restart your phone. Clear the cache and data of the camera app from `Settings` > `Apps` > `Camera` > `Storage`. Ensure the app has necessary permissions.
