Phone advice guides
Muffled phone speaker? Common causes and fixes
Quiet, crackly or muffled sound is often caused by dust in the grille, but it can also be liquid damage or a failing speaker. Here is how to narrow it down.
People can’t hear me on calls: microphone faults
If callers say you sound distant, muffled or silent, the problem may be a blocked microphone, a Bluetooth connection or a failed part. Test it in minutes.
Are screen protectors worth it?
A good screen protector is cheap insurance against scratches and some cracks, but it is not magic. Here is what they do well, what they do not, and which type to choose.
Original vs aftermarket phone screens: the honest difference
Screen repairs often come with more than one price. The difference usually comes down to display technology, brightness, colour and battery use. Here is what you are choosing between.
“No SIM” error: is it the phone or the SIM card?
A phone that suddenly says No SIM could have a dirty card, a network issue or a damaged SIM reader. A few swaps will tell you which.
Why is my phone not charging?
A charging problem may come from the cable, power adapter, socket, settings or the phone itself. Start with the external checks; do not assume the charging port needs replacing.
Should you repair or replace a cracked phone screen?
Compare a model-specific screen quote with the condition and usefulness of the whole phone. A cracked screen alone does not mean you need a replacement device.
