The other way of the reboot is as follows:
- Press and hold down the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time.
- Hold the Power button down for 10-15 seconds, or until the phone vibrates and restarts.
- If the phone turns off let go then press power again for 1-2 seconds to restart the phone.

To check for Play Store app updates on your Galaxy:
- Open Play Store app.
- Tap More settings icon at the upper left (three horizontal lines).
- Tap My apps & games.

If you are on Cellular Data connection, we suggest that you update via wifi only to avoid additional charges. Here’s how:

- Tap Auto-update apps.

- Tap Done.
Verify signal strength
In a lot of network issues, poor or weak signal is to blame. If your OnePlus 8 Pro is showing No Service all the time recently, be sure to check how the signal bars are showing on your device. Anything lower than 3 bars is not good and can indicate a network issue.
If you are inside a building, try to go out and see if No Service goes away. If you are traveling by car, it’s possible that you may be transiting a dead spot. What you want to do is to move a known well-covered area. If No service remains, there may be an issue with your OnePlus 8 Pro. Continue troubleshooting it by following the steps below.
Check if voice calling works
Some carriers may have 4G LTE issues which can also affect other network services. Try checking if texting or voice calling is intermittent or having random issues. If they do have a problem even if there are excellent signal bars, there may be an issue with your network. You must contact your network operator for help.
Delete old conversations
Sending and receiving texts may become problematic if the Message inbox is full. Try to delete some old conversations that have lots of attachments. They tend to eat up a huge portion of your messaging app’s inbox.
- Open the Messages app.
- If prompted to change the default SMS app, tap Yes to confirm.
- Tap Menu icon located at the upper-right corner.
- Tap Edit.
- Select the messages you want to erase. If you want to delete all messages, tap All at the upper left.
- To delete all messages, tap All located at the upper-left corner.
- Tap the Trashcan icon located at the bottom-right corner.
- To confirm, tap Delete. If you want, you can also check Block numbers to prevent a selected number to send texts in the future.
Remove and Reinsert SIM card
I don’t think you need another tutorial to reinstall a sim card in your device. Just remove the sim tray from the device and restart the device and then reinsert it to the device.
- Activate the flight mode.
- Push Sim eject tool into the circular opening on the SIM card tray to remove it.
- Power off the device.
- Remove the Sim card from the Sim tray then place it back in.
- Push the tray back into the slot.
- Boot the device.
Once you’ve removed the SIM card from the device, wait for a few moments before re-inserting it. This has the effect of refreshing the system without the old cellular settings. Once the SIM card is re-inserted and the phone restarted, your network’s configuration should be added automatically.
If you have another phone that can work with your network, you can also try to insert the SIM card to it. This will help you check if there’s an issue with the SIM card itself. If the problem returns when you use the SIM card in the second device, you either have an issue with the SIM or with the network. Try getting a new SIM card to see if it’s the SIM or the network.
Reset Network Settings
- Open the app drawer and then tap Settings.
- Then go to System.
- And then Reset Options.
- Now, tap on Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth.
- Tap RESET SETTINGS.
- Enter your PIN or Password, then tap Next.
- Tap RESET SETTINGS again to confirm.
Troubleshoot apps in Safe Mode
In case you don’t know what is safe mode, in safe mode, the system temporarily disable all third-party applications you installed on your device. By doing this we can figure out which app is occurring the problem. Follow the below step to turn Safe Mode on:
- Turn OFF the OnePlus device.
- Press and hold the Power button.
- On the screen, press and hold Power off.
- Tap Ok to reboot into Safe mode.
After figuring out the apps which are creating the problem, follow the below steps to uninstall it(if required):
- Open the app drawer and then tap Settings.
- Tap on Apps & Notification.
- Now, tap on See all apps.
- Tap on an app, then tap Uninstall.
- Tap Ok to continue.
Clear Cache from Recovery Mode
In case you don’t know what is recovery, the first thing the bootloader rings up is the recovery. Recovery Mode refers to a special bootable partition, which contains a recovery application installed in it. And you can fix some problems with your phone. Follow the steps to clear cache from recovery mode:
- Switch off your OnePlus device.
- Now press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until you see the recovery mode options on your device.
- Once you see the recovery options, you can let go of the two buttons.
- The Recovery screen menu will now appear.
- Use the Volume button to go to Wipe Cache Partition then press the Power button to confirm the selection.
- Wait until your device wipes out all cache or temporary data from the system partition.
- Press the Power button again to reboot the device.
This clears all the temporary data from the device. And then it works like new.
Reset Your Device
Disclaimer
