Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a charger for at least 15 minutes. If unresponsive, perform a force restart by pressing and holding the Volume Down button and the Power/Side button simultaneously for more than 7 seconds.
Battery drains quickly.
Check battery usage in `Settings > Battery and device care > Battery` to identify apps consuming the most power. Adjust screen brightness, disable always-on display, limit background app refresh, and use power-saving mode when needed.
Slow performance or apps crashing.
Clear app caches from `Settings > Apps > (Select App) > Storage > Clear cache`. Ensure your device has enough free storage (ideally 15-20% free). Regularly restart your phone. If issues persist, check for system updates or consider a factory reset (after backing up data).
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi or 5G network.
For Wi-Fi: Restart your router and phone. Forget the network in `Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi` and reconnect. For 5G: Ensure your plan supports 5G, you are in a 5G coverage area, and `Mobile data` is enabled in `Settings > Connections`. Try toggling Airplane Mode on/off.
