The most common faults: water in the mobile and batteries damaged
The constant use of mobile devices, their small size, or their transport in poorly protected spaces such as pockets or bags, make them especially susceptible to getting wet by accident. We are not referring to a slight accidental splash, but to fall into a sink or bathtub, or fall victim to the rain.
If the phone is connected to the charger with power, if it is charging in a bathroom or kitchen for example, do not try to remove it from the water without unplugging the charger. If this is not possible, cut the electrical step before removing the phone or tablet from the water. Do not press any key or try to see if it works, and, if possible, open the housing to access the battery and remove it immediately. If it is not possible to remove the battery (case of the iPhone) and, if the phone is on, turn it off immediately.otherwise visit mobile phone repair center.
If the phone or tablet was in a case or casing, remove it and proceed to remove the possible SD and SIM cards that it had. Do not disassemble the device.
Proceed to drying, but do not use a dryer even in cold mode. If you have a vacuum cleaner you can try to aspirate the observable liquid.
Once dry introduce the device inside a desiccant substance. Spare parts for "dry ball" dehumidifiers or "cat" sands usually composed of silica gel are suitable materials, and are easy to find in supermarkets. In case of not having this material, or while accessing it, you can enter the phone into rice. Leave the device covered by the desiccant (or rice if applicable) for at least 24 hours. Although silica gel is not toxic, it can sometimes come with some added product that may be, so we must always take extreme care when handling this or any other chemical.
Introduce the appliance in a bowl of raw rice and leave it overnight, since the rice absorbs moisture that exists inside the device. However, it is more advisable to use a more efficient substance such as desiccant. Do not turn on the appliance for a period of 24 hours. After the drying time, connect the completely dry phone to the charger without a battery (if possible) and, if it works, proceed to insert the battery and check the charger without connection.
If there is any doubt, it is advisable to take the phone to an authorized service center in Whitefield, explain the case and the actions carried out for drying. One last possible solution before giving up for lost the mobile is to open it and to sprinkle it with a cleaning spray of electronic circuits. It is not a magic solution, but sometimes it can work.
A source of possible damage is that caused by corrosion of the device. Condensation can produce water accumulation internally if we use the mobile phone in very humid environments, which will lead to serious damage.
We should not rule out, in the case of being aware of the possibility of condensation (due to the prolonged exposure of our mobile to these types of conditions), perform a preventive drying, leaving the mobile 24 hours covered by desiccant material as explained in the previous paragraph always remembering in any case to remove the battery (if our device allows it) before covering it with the desiccant material.
One of the usual reasons for faults in the operation of a mobile device is the battery. Unforeseen restarts, the device does not start, the battery is not charged despite being connected, the battery life is very short, etc., are some of the symptoms that can make us think of a battery failure.
Before replacing a battery because it does not charge the mobile it is convenient to connect it directly with the USB cable to a computer, without using the charging charger, since in case of a completely exhausted battery the device may take a long time to react. If after 3 or 4 hours the phone still does not turn on, we will proceed to inspect the battery.
- Remove the battery from our terminal, if the model allows it, otherwise go to the Online mobile service center in bangalore. If the battery presents deformations we must replace it ( without forgetting to recycle the defective battery ). If not, check the contacts of the mobile to ensure they are not bent or broken and check that there are no gaps that prevent proper contact.
- If the battery does not appear to be a problem and everything is correct, try the battery on another mobile or our mobile with another battery.
- If the battery does not charge on another mobile even using another different charger, it must be replaced in mobile phone service center .
The use of mobile devices to carry out various functions throughout the day (work, relationships, leisure, etc.) forces us to consume the battery intensively.
Not all applications or all styles of use consume the same, so we have to expect very different battery life. However, the need to extend the use of the battery will always be present, so it is advisable to know some measures that can extend the battery life of our mobile phone. We propose the following:
- Do not activate the vibration, unless you need to silence the phone.
- Turn off the Bluetooth, start it only when necessary.
- Deactivate the sound of the keyboard.
- Set the lighting of the screen as low as possible. In any case, adjust the energy saving mode and, if you do not want to decide by hand the brightness of the screen, indicate Auto to adjust it.
- It is highly recommended to charge the battery when it has reached 20% capacity. When the charger is plugged in, allow the battery to fill completely.
- Avoid extreme temperatures (high or low), direct sunlight or the proximity of heating appliances.
- Always update the device to the latest available version of the system and keep the applications updated.
- Consider deactivating the automatic synchronization of some features such as social networks or email if you do not need them.
- Avoid leaving games or applications ripped and, in case of doubt, restart the phone.
- Do not abuse the informative widgets : weather, news, etc. Consider the possibility of accessing them through shortcuts.
- If the WIFI connection is not used, disable it.
- If the GPS is not used, deactivate it.
