  • Insert the SIM card into your phone if you have not already.

    Press and hold the red hang-up button for 5-10 seconds Make sure the battery is inserted correctly Charge the phone overnight Try a different charging method. If you typically charge the phone with the dock, try with the cable directly and vice versa. If you have another micro USB cable, try that one. Use a different outlet.
  • My battery is draining too quickly.
    Make sure you have sufficient coverage in your area Connect to Wi-Fi calling
  • My phone won't charge.

Turn up the ringer volume by going to Settings> Sound (6)> Ring Volume, then toggle the volume higher. The bar will display blue to demonstrate how high the volume is.
