11 Mistakes That Could End Up Damaging Your Phone

Without realizing it, some small things we do in our daily lives can affect our smartphones in many ways, causing unpleasant consequences. An example of this was the incident with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. So that your phone doesn’t explode or damage it, here are some simple rules you need to know.

Just like you, we at awesome.club We love our little smart devices, we want them to be really useful in our lives and not get us into trouble. So, here are some tips on things to avoid so that they have a longer life.

At least once in our lives, we’ve all watched a YouTube tutorial and thought we could reproduce the homemade trick as presented there. However, unreliable sources give us various tips that are often not useful or don’t really work, and that can damage your phone forever.

Yes, even sunlight passing through a window can cause your phone to overheat. Although your device does not noticeably change, overheating hits the battery brutally. As a result, the device’s productivity may decrease and even the SIM card may be damaged.

Have you ever plugged in a phone blindly, placing the USB cable carelessly and even forcefully, before going to sleep? Well, that shortens the life of your charger. Electrical contacts are much more delicate than we imagine and special care must be taken with them.

The hardware works like the “body” of the phone, and the software is like the brain and soul of the phone. Downloading them from untrustworthy sources could cause your device to malfunction, cause it to suddenly shut down, or cause all your personal information to be transferred to an unknown person.

Don’t forget to clean the inside of your phone. Thousands of dust particles and small debris of dirt and garbage brought from your pockets, suitcases, backpacks and purses can enter your phone and disrupt its inner workings (slowing it down, for example). Cleaning can be done at home, but it is always recommended to take it to a technical assistance, so that it does not damage the functioning of your device.

Cases are not just a fashion item, but actually something that helps protect your phone from the buildup of dirt and particles that accumulate at the bottom of your bag. All of this will get inside the artifact and cause the device to overheat and malfunction.

The battery is the “heart”, the engine of the phone. Carefully check the type you are going to put on your mobile. If it is not original, the artifact’s lifespan will be significantly reduced.

It has already been verified that, due to a difference in the electrical energy that is available in each charger and its characteristics, sometimes a device can catch fire. On the other hand, many people don’t know that when we use certain headphones (mostly fake ones), they can damage the cellphone jack forever. This is due to the slight differences in the size of the connector and the input.

Nobody wants their phone to get dusty inside as it slows down performance and causes it to overheat. But we recommend that, in order to do this, you use professional help or conventional ways to clean the device (blowers and the like), as the use of sharp objects or objects not suitable for such purposes can damage the cell phone and its most delicate parts.

Do you remember how the launch of the iPhone 6 was marred by the phones that were left folded in the back pockets of their owners? This can happen with any cell phone with a fine composition. But, in addition, keeping it in this area increases the possibility that it will be stolen or damaged: sometimes we can forget that the device is there when we go to the bathroom or when we sit somewhere.
