Common iPhone Problems with Quick and Easy Solutions

Posted by iCoverLover on Nov 27, 2020

iPhones are luxury items, so it can be devastating when you encounter a problem that you can’t seem to fix. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of common problems and the quick solutions that you can use to fix them easily.

Common iPhone Issues and Fixes

iPhone Issues and Fixes

Frozen Screens

This can easily be fixed by powering your phone off or doing a hard reset by holding the power button and home button at the same time until the phone resets. For newer models like the iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max, you do that by holding the volume button and power button at the same time.

Frozen screens are also a sign that you need to clear some space or overloaded apps from your phone. Take it to the nearest Apple repair center so they can help identify the problem.

Wi-Fi Issues

For a quick fix, you can forget the current network and log in again. If that doesn’t work, the modem may need to be reset. If that still doesn’t work, you’ll need to call the broadband provider. You could also check to see if the case you are using is Wi-Fi friendly. Some cases can hinder signals, especially ones made of metal.

No Service

Try going into airplane mode and back to regular mode. If that doesn’t solve it, turn the iPhone on and off. If that still doesn’t resolve the issue, do a hard reset. Lastly, check if your provider is having any signal issues with their towers. You can also take your SIM card in and out to check if that fixes the problem.

Water Damage

While the new iPhones may be a little bit more waterproof, they are not immune to getting soaked and broken when dropped in water or left in a wet area like a sauna or during a rainstorm. There’s no definite fix, but keeping it in rice for 24 hours is something you can try. Otherwise, you’ll need to bring it to Apple for repairs.

Cracked Screens When Dropped on Its Face

The worst problem ever. When you drop an iPhone on its corner, it still has some protection. However, dropping it face down on a flat surface or a sharp corner will definitely break the screen as shown by many YouTube phone testers. The only way to prevent that is by adding a screen protector and using a sturdy case.

Battery Life Problems

When your battery dies too quickly, it means that your phone is processing too much while on standby, i.e. push notifications, downloads, too many messages, and notifications, etc. To fix this, you may want to use the new application offload option. It temporarily disables apps you rarely use. You can also set your batter to Low Power mode all the time. This keeps your phone from draining too many batteries from its applications and software.

iPhone Problem Preventions

To prevent these common issues from happening, here is what you should do:

For battery life efficiency, charge your phone up to 85% only and don’t let its battery go down less than 20%. This can lengthen your battery life significantly.

To keep your phone safe from physical damage, use an armour case or one that has shockproof properties. You should also apply a tempered glass screen protector to keep the screen from getting smashed when dropped.

To prevent water damage, try using a water-resistant phone case. This type of phone case has a built-in screen protector and detachable port covers that prevent water from dripping inside.

For software issues, make sure you are cleaning your cache and cookies all the time.

Do not visit sketchy web pages or click on links that look spammy. Even iPhones are not immune to viruses.

Always update your applications and software. But here’s a pro tip: Wait a few days before updating so you can check the news if the new software update is causing problems for other users.
