5 Maintenance Tips for Smartphones and Tablet to Avoid Repairs


 If you want to avoid a sudden mobile repair in Redlands or other places, then you need to know the best tips for maintaining your smartphone. We all know that smartphones have now become an indispensable part of our lives. You may purchase the grocery, buy movie tickets, make financial transactions with banks, capture memories, connect with any peer, or travel from one place to another. Nearly everything is now mostly done with the help of smartphones.  

If anything goes wrong with your smartphone, then your entire routine is affected. A cellphone repair on average can cost between 27% and 41% of the device’s price. There’s no point in spending so much if you can avoid damaging your device. 

 

In this article, we have identified tips to avoid costly repairs by following the top five smartphone maintenance tips. 

 

  1. Covering the Device with a High-Quality Case 

 

Most contemporary smartphones have alluring designs. However, they use materials that can easily damage during drops. That’s why you must protect the rest of the body of the device. For both tablets and mobiles, you can use a high-quality case from reputed brands such as ESR, Caseology, Nillkin, Griffin, Incipio, Ringke, Otterbox, Speck, Spigen, Tech21, and UAG. There’s every possibility that you would receive a high-quality first-party case from your device’s manufacturer. Professionals occupied in tablet repair in Redlands advise users to check the following- 

 

  • A lip-like structure around the screen and the rear camera.  

  • Case coverage from all four sides of the device and the rear. 

  • It should effortlessly allow you to press the power and volume buttons. 

  • Choose a case with a bit of soft surface and air gaps towards its four inner corners. 

  • Clear openings for the charging port and headphone port. 

 

  1. Put on a Tempered Glass Screen Protector 

 

Screen damage is the most common cause of smartphone repairs. Remember that a screen panel is the second most expensive part of a smartphone. As screen damage isn’t covered under the standard manufacturer warranty terms, you would never wish to damage your device’s display. The most ideal method to shield it is to cover it using a high-quality tempered glass screen protector. Don’t use plastic film-based screen protectors. They can protect the display from scratches. But they can’t protect against drops. 

 

You may opt for the following brands Belkin, Amzer, Caseology, Nillkin, ESR, Otterbox, and Spigen. Install the screen protector properly so that it covers the entire screen surface. Don’t allow air bubbles or dirt between the screen and the screen protector. Purchase a standard quality screen protector and either install it yourself or seek assistance from an expert during the installation. 

 

  1. Never Cover the Device During Charging 

 

During the charging of a phone, the voltage step-down function takes place, leading to heat generation. That’s the reason why smartphones become warmer during charge. During this heat generation, the device must dissipate heat as fast as possible. However, if the device is covered, the heat is not dissipated fast enough, causing it to heat up excessively. 

Often it has been observed that a charging device kept under a pillow caught fire because of excessive heat, leading to fire damage. Never cover even a tablet under a pillow, let alone sleep overnight with a charging device under your pillow. 

 

  1. Refrain from Frequent Battery Chargings 

 

There hasn’t been much development in battery technology as much as in other gadgets and charging technologies. Presently, smartphone brands are providing very fast charging mechanisms, going as high as 65W. But that isn’t healthy for the battery in the long run. After consistently using fast charging technologies for a couple of years, just 70-85% of the battery’s capacity remains compared to a new battery. 

 

Each battery has a limited number of charge cycles. Every time you connect a charging cable and remove it, the charging cycle is consumed. That is why you must ensure that you use as few charging cycles as possible. The most ideal method to charge your smartphone is to completely charge the battery, and then recharge it only after the battery level drops below 10%. After connecting the charger, allow the phone’s battery to charge completely. 

 

  1. Purchase an Extended Warranty Plan (Inclusive of Spills and Drop Protection) 

 

Certain things are beyond our control, like the damage to the device’s motherboard or speaker. Normally, such things are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. However, once that brand warranty period is over, then you can avoid expensive smartphone repairs by availing yourself of an extended warranty plan for your device. 

 

If your job necessitates you to travel during rains or if you have damaged smartphones previously because of liquid or water spills, you must get yourself a spills and drops protection plan to cover the repair costs in such a scenario. 

 

Inference 

 

Once you start adhering to the above-mentioned easy smartphone maintenance tips, there’s every possibility that you can keep your tablets and other gadgets safe from any hardware damage. Else, you may seek help from someone who is into mobile repair in South Riverside or other locations.
