5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to the charger for at least 10 minutes, then try powering on again. |
| Slow performance or app crashes. | Close unnecessary background applications. Clear cache for problematic apps. Restart the device. The Helio G81 Octa-core CPU and 24GB RAM are designed for smooth operation, but heavy multitasking can still impact performance. |
| Insufficient storage space. | Delete unused apps and files. Transfer media to a computer or cloud storage. Utilize the TF card expansion slot (up to 2TB). |
| Poor GPS accuracy. | Ensure you have a clear view of the sky. GPS performance can be affected by urban environments or specific regional satellite support (e.g., QZSS in Japan). Try using GPS in an open area. |
| Camera images are blurry in low light. | Ensure steady hands when taking photos in low light. Use Night Mode if available. The 4-in-1 pixel binning technology helps, but extreme low light conditions may still pose challenges. |
| SIM card not detected or network issues. | Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted. Verify that your SIM card carrier's frequency bands are compatible with the device's supported bands (4G FDD: B1/B3/B7/B8/B19/B20/B28A/B28B, 4G TDD: B40/B41, 3G WCDMA: B1/B8, 2G GSM: B2/B3/B5/B8). |
