Smartphone troubleshooting guide - systematic approach

[JerryRG]

When dealing with smartphone problems, what's the best systematic approach? I want to create a good smartphone troubleshooting guide for myself that covers common issues like smartphone connectivity problems, phone app crashing issues, and smartphone software update problems. What steps should always come first?

Smartphone troubleshooting guide systematic approach: 1) Restart the phone (solves 50% of issues), 2) Check for updates, 3) Boot into safe mode to check for app problems, 4) Clear cache of problematic apps, 5) Check storage space, 6) Reset network settings for connectivity problems, 7) Factory reset as last resort. Always document what you've tried so you don't repeat steps.
