My smartphone won’t connect to the mobile network

page 18).

My smartphone hangs up when I hold it to my ear
You may be accidentally pressing the onscreen Hang Up button with your cheek.
Try holding the phone so your face doesn’t press against the screen. If this is not
convenient, you may want to disable the screen’s touch-sensitive feature during
active calls (see “Locking your screen” on page 192).
My smartphone seems to turn off by itself
If a system error and reset occur, your smartphone automatically turns the phone on if
it was on before the reset. However, if your smartphone can’t determine if your phone
was on before the reset, it does not automatically turn on the phone (see “Turning
your phone on and off” on page 18).
Become familiar with low
coverage areas where you
live, commute, work, and
play. Then you will know
when to expect signal
strength issues.
