Tips & Learning

Simple tips to keep your phone happy and healthy. Quick guides, smart habits, and answers to everyday questions—all in one place.

Show the answers by clicking on questions

When Should You Charge Your Phone (and When to Unplug It)?

Keeping your phone battery between 20% and 80% is ideal for long-term health. Avoid letting your phone fully drain to 0% or charging it all the way to 100% frequently. Lithium-ion batteries perform best when they’re topped up in small bursts instead of deep charges. Try not to leave your phone charging overnight, and unplug it once it reaches around 80–90% if possible.

Does Using a Non-Original Charger Damage Your Phone?

Yes, using a non-original or low-quality charger can damage your battery, motherboard, or charging IC. Original chargers are designed to provide stable voltage and current. Cheap alternatives may overheat or deliver inconsistent power, which can shorten battery life or cause charging issues. Always choose trusted brands, even if not from the phone’s manufacturer.

How to Prevent Your Phone Battery from Swelling

Battery swelling is often caused by overcharging, high heat, or using damaged chargers. Avoid exposing your phone to hot environments like cars on sunny days. Use high-quality chargers and avoid charging overnight. If your phone feels warm often, it’s a sign to check the battery.

5 Simple Tips to Make Your Battery Last Longer

Lower your screen brightness or use auto-brightness.
Close apps running in the background.
Turn on Battery Saver mode.
Switch off Bluetooth, GPS, or Wi-Fi when not in use.
Avoid extreme heat or cold, as it affects battery performance.

Why Your Phone Gets Hot—and How to Keep It Cool

Phones overheat due to intense app usage, direct sunlight, or using the phone while charging. Avoid gaming or streaming for long periods without breaks. Take off the phone case while charging. Don’t leave your phone in hot cars or under pillows. Use certified charging accessories.

What to Do If You Drop Your Phone in Water

Turn it off immediately and don’t press any buttons.
Don’t plug it in.
Dry the exterior with a cloth.
Avoid using a blow dryer or putting it in rice.
Bring it to a professional repair shop to open, dry, and inspect it properly.

LCD vs OLED: What’s the Difference and Which Is Better?

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is more affordable and works well in sunlight but has thicker panels. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) displays are thinner, more vibrant, and offer deeper blacks, but usually cost more. Both have pros and cons depending on your needs and budget.

How to Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Battery

Look out for fast draining, sudden shutdowns, or a swollen battery. If your phone only lasts a few hours after a full charge or randomly turns off, the battery likely needs replacing. Swelling is dangerous—visit a repair shop immediately if you notice it.

How to Safely Clean Your Charging Port and Speakers

Turn off the phone first. Use a toothpick or soft brush to gently remove lint or debris from the charging port. Avoid using sharp metal objects or liquids. For muffled sound, clean the speaker grills the same way. If issues remain, visit a technician for internal cleaning.

Is It a Software Problem or a Hardware Issue? How to Tell

Software issues include freezing, crashing apps, or update bugs—try restarting, updating apps, or doing a factory reset. Hardware issues show as unresponsive buttons, no sound, charging failure, or physical damage. Testing with another charger or resetting settings can help confirm before visiting a technician.
