If your phone's battery has been depleted completely, it will not be able to power the device properly, resulting in an "E" symbol on the screen. Faulty Battery**: In some cases, the battery itself might be faulty or damaged, causing the phone to display the "E" symbol even when it's fully charged.

Hardware Issues**: In rare cases, hardware malfunctions such as a faulty charging port or a short circuit within the phone's circuitry can cause the "E" symbol to appear. To resolve this issue:

1. Charge Your Phone**: If you haven't already, try charging your phone for at least 30 minutes using an original charger and cable.

Restart Your Phone in Safe Mode**: Press and hold the power button until your phone restarts in safe mode. This will disable any third-party apps that might be causing the issue.
