Troubleshooting

1. Network Connectivity Issues

  • General Network Issues: Check if your SIM card is properly inserted. Try restarting the phone. Verify your mobile data settings and ensure airplane mode is off.

2. Camera Functionality

  • Only one rear camera works: This is by design. The SOYES XS15 Pro has one functional rear camera; the others are for aesthetic purposes.
  • Camera not opening/freezing: Try restarting the camera app or the phone. Ensure there is enough storage space.

3. Charging Problems

  • Phone not charging: Ensure you are using a 5V charging adapter with the provided USB-C cable. Check for any damage to the cable or charging port. Try a different compatible charger.
  • Slow charging: Ensure the charger provides sufficient power (5V). Avoid using the phone heavily while charging.

4. Performance Issues

  • Phone is slow/lagging: Close unnecessary background apps. Clear cache regularly. If you have the 2GB RAM/16GB ROM version, manage your storage and app usage carefully.
  • Apps crashing: Ensure apps are updated to their latest versions. Clear app data/cache for problematic apps.
