Upgrading your iPhone X to the latest version of iOS 11, currently iOS 11.3.1, will cure some of your device’s ailments, but iOS 11.3.1 is far from perfect. We don’t know exactly when Apple will release its next iPhone X update so you might be on your own for a few more days.

Fortunately, there are a bunch of proven manual fixes out there and you might be able to fix your iPhone X problem in seconds. This walkthrough will show you how to fix most common iPhone X problems. It includes fixes for Wi-FI issues, Bluetooth problems, FaceID problems, weird battery drain, 3D Touch issues, and more. Try one of these fixes before scheduling an appointment to an Apple Genius at your local Apple Store.

If your iPhone X suddenly gets stuck updating iCloud Settings you’ll want to force a restart. To force restart your iPhone X you need to press Volume Up and let go, press Volume Down and let go, and press and hold the side button until the Apple Logo appears. The device will reboot itself.

Once the device powers back up, try again. If you’re unable to get your old iPhone’s data backed up, check out our list iCloud backup problems and fixes. Apple’s also released a guide that will take you through the most common iCloud backup issues. Your iPhone X might run an older version of iOS 11 out of the box, but you can immediately upgrade the phone to iOS 11.3.1. If your download gets stuck, here’s what you need to do.

If your iPhone X update download gets stuck you need to perform a hard reset. Again, this process is different on the iPhone X. Press Volume Up and let go, press Volume Down and let go, and press and hold the side button until the Apple Logo appears. Once you’re back, try the download again.

If you’re experiencing longer download times than usual, check your internet connection and Apple’s servers as there might be an issue. If you start noticing faster battery drain than normal, don’t fret. There’s a good chance you’ll be able to fix your battery life issue from home. If your iPhone X battery starts draining rapidly, there’s a good chance a rogue app is causing the issue. Your device might also be struggling to connect to a cellular network and that can kill a battery quickly.

We recently put together a guide that will show you what to do if your iPhone X battery life takes a turn for the worst. Some of these steps will take you a few seconds, others are a little more involved. In most cases, it’s not a hardware issue. However, if the issues persist, you might want to schedule an appointment at your local store so they diagnose your issue. Your iPhone X is under warranty so if you do have a busted battery, they should give you a replacement.

If your iPhone X suddenly can’t connect to your Wi-Fi network or if you’re noticing slower speeds than normal, here are a few solutions to try. The first thing you’ll want to do is check your router and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for an outage. Check DownDetector for ISP reports in your area. You can also check in with your provider’s customer service reps.

If there isn’t an outage, check your router. Unplug your router for a solid 60 seconds and plug it back in. This could restore your connection and improve your download/upload speeds. If you can’t access the router you’re using or if you’re positive it has nothing to do with hardware, head into your iPhone X’s settings.

First, toggle Wi-Fi off and on again to see if that jumpstarts the connection. If that doesn’t work, you’ll want to force your iPhone X to forget the Wi-Fi network giving you issues. Forget this Network at the top of the screen. Make sure you have the Wi-Fi password handy because this will cause your iPhone X to forget it. Reset Network Settings. This will also cause your iPhone X to forget Wi-Fi passwords so have those handy.
