Troubleshooting

The touch screen responds slowly or improperly

If your device has a touch screen and the touch screen is not

responding properly, try the following:

●

Remove any protective covers from the touch screen.

Protective covers may prevent the device from recognising

your inputs and are not recommended for touch screen

devices.

●

Ensure that your hands are clean and dry when tapping the

touch screen.

●

Restart your device to clear any temporary software bugs.

●

Ensure that your device’s software is upgraded to the latest

version.

●

If the touch screen is scratched or damaged, take your

device to a Samsung Service Centre.

Your device freezes or has fatal errors

If your device freezes or hangs, you may need to close

applications or reset the device to regain functionality. If your

device is still responsive and an application is frozen, close the

application with the task manager. If your device is frozen and

unresponsive, press and hold the Power key for 8-10 seconds.
If this problem persists, perform a factory data reset. In the

application list, select

Settings

→

Back up and reset

→

→

Reset device

→

Erase everything

Calls are being dropped

When you are in areas with weak signals or poor reception,

you may lose your connection to the network. Move to

another area and try again.
