Your device is hot to the touch

When you use apps that require more power or use apps on your device for an extended 
period of time, your device may feel hot to the touch. This is normal and should not affect 
your device’s lifespan or performance.
If the device overheats or feels hot for a prolonged period, do not use it for a while. If the 
device continues to overheat, contact a Samsung Service Centre.

Error messages appear when launching the camera

Your device must have sufficient available memory and battery power to operate the camera 
app. If you receive error messages when launching the camera, try the following:

•  

Charge the battery.

•  

Free some memory by transferring files to an external storage device or deleting files 
from your device.

•  

Restart the device. If you are still having trouble with the camera app after trying these 
tips, contact a Samsung Service Centre.

Photo quality is poorer than the preview

•  

The quality of your photos may vary, depending on the surroundings and the 
photography techniques you use.

•  

If you take photos in dark areas, at night, or indoors, image noise may occur or images 
may be out of focus.

Error messages appear when opening multimedia files

If you receive error messages or multimedia files do not play when you open them on your 
device, try the following:

•  

Free some memory by transferring files to an external storage device or deleting files 
from your device.

•  

Ensure that the music file is not Digital Rights Management (DRM)-protected. If the file is 
DRM-protected, ensure that you have the appropriate licence or key to play the file.
