Four checks that clear most problems

Before anything else, these quick checks resolve a surprising share of everyday phone faults.

Force restart

Hold the power button (or power + volume down) for about 15 seconds until the phone restarts. Clears most freezes and black screens.

Check the charger

Try a different cable, adapter and outlet, and clear any lint from the charging port with a wooden toothpick.

Install updates

Many bugs are fixed in software — install pending system and app updates over stable Wi-Fi while charging.

Reset the connection

Toggle aeroplane mode off and on, restart the phone, and power-cycle the router for connectivity problems.
