Below are the troubleshooting steps that may help fix the issue(s):

Check that the Phone is up-to-date by performing a system update.

Signal Troubleshooting

  1. Check network coverage on the Razer Phone. Move to a different location, preferably with fewer obstacles and more open and check the signal.

    Note: Network signal is affected by walls, buildings, trees, and weather.

Device Settings Troubleshooting

Note: The instructions below apply to the Razer Phone with the Android Pie installed.

  1. From your home screen, swipe down twice to display quick settings.

  2. Ensure that the "Airplane mode" and "Do not disturb" are not enabled.

  3. If they are enabled, tap the icon(s) to disable.

    Check the "Airplane mode" and "Do not disturb" are not enabled

  4. Go to Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network.

    Select Mobile Network under Network & Internet

  5. Tap "Advanced" to display more options, then tap "Preferred network type".

SIM Troubleshooting
