Before contacting the service centre. here are some
instructions to help you troubleshoot your device:
• For optimal operation, fully charge the battery.
• To improve the phone's performance, remove
unnecessary files or apps on your phone.
• Update your phone's software via the System
Update. Alternatively you can touch Settings >
System > System Update to update software.
• Reset your phone via Factory data reset. Touch
Settings > System > Reset > Factory data reset.
Another method is to hold down the Power key
and the Volume up key at the same time when your
phone is powered off and select recovery mode >
Wipe data/Factory reset. All your phone data will be
lost permanently. It is strongly advised to fully back
up your phone data before resetting.
and carry out the following checks:
My phone can't be switched on or is frozen

at least 20 minutes to ensure the minimum battery
power needed. Then switch it on again.

animation and the user interface can't be accessed,
press and hold the Power key to reset. This eliminates
any abnormal OS booting issues caused by third

pressing the Power key and the Volume up key at
the same time when your phone is powered off. And
then select recovery mode > Wipe data/Factory
reset. Press the Volume key to select, and press the
Power key to confirm each selection.

• If your phone doesn't respond, turn off your phone
by pressing and holding the Power key until it turns
off and then restart it again.

using your phone, and make sure that the Power
key is not accidentally pressed while the screen is
