There are cases where an app you recently downloaded to your phone can cause problems. To check if a third party app is causing this problem, you will need to boot your phone in Safe Mode as only pre-installed apps can work in this mode.

  • Try turning off the device.
  • When the shutdown logo appears on the display, press the Shutdown icon.
  • As soon as you press the Safe Mode icon, click on it.
  • Once this is done the phone will reboot into Safe Mode.

If the problem does not occur in this mode, the problem may be caused by one of the downloaded apps. Find out which app it is and uninstall it.

Wipe the cache partition of the phone

The phone stores app data in a dedicated partition in its internal memory. This data allows apps to open faster and provide a better mobile experience. However, there are cases where cached data can be corrupted and can cause problems with the device. To check if this is what is causing the problem, you need to wipe the cache partition of the phone.



  • Turn the phone off.
  • Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
  • When the device logo screen appears, release the Power key only.
  • When the Android logo appears, release all keys (“Installing System Update” will show for approximately 30 - 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
  • Press the Volume Down key several times until 'wipe cache partition' is highlighted.
  • Press the power button to select.
  • Press the Volume down key to highlight 'yes' and press the Power key to select.
  • Once the wipe cache partition is complete, hit “Reboot system now”.
  • Press the power key to restart the device.

Check if the problem still occurs.


Perform a factory reset

  • Make sure your phone is turned off.
  • Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
  • When the device logo screen appears, release the Power key only

  • Press the power button to select and start the master reset.
  • When the master reset is complete, you will see highlighted "Reboot system now".
  • Press the power key to restart the device.

In case the problem occurs even after following the steps listed above then this could be caused by a faulty hardware component, possibly the charging port. You can try using a wireless charger as a workaround, however if you want to use a corded charger, you'll need to take your phone to a service center and get it fixed.
