The Most Common Phone Issues – Phone Repair Shop Matamata

At our Phone Repair Shop Matamata, we see hundreds of damaged smartphones each month. While every phone issue is unique in its own way, there are a few recurring problems that seem to affect a large number of our customers. Here are the most common phone fails that land on our repair bench

Cracked Screens

Without a doubt, cracked screens are the #1 phone issue we deal with. It’s simply too easy to accidentally drop your phone and shatter the front glass display. We see screens with every type of crack – small spiderweb cracks, long gashes, fully shattered screens, and everything in between. Unfortunately, there is no DIY fix for this. Cracked screens require professional repair or full replacement.

Water Damage

The next most common phone casualty is water damage. Whether it was an accidental drop in the pool, getting caught in the rain, or an unfortunate encounter with a full bathtub, water plus a smartphone is never a good combination. The tricky thing about water damage is that symptoms may not appear right away. Corrosion can occur over time, leading to issues down the road. If your phone takes an unexpected swim, bring it to us immediately for assessment and cleaning.

Charging Port Issues

A broken or malfunctioning charging port is the bane of every smartphone user. If you can’t charge your phone, it’s essentially useless as a mobile device. Faulty charging ports generally mean it’s time to replace the physical port itself. We have parts for all major phone models. In a pinch, wireless charging can serve as a temporary workaround.

Old, Worn Out Batteries

Over time, constantly charging and discharging your phone battery leads to diminished returns. Old batteries can’t hold a charge like they used to. They may drain abnormally fast or even shut down when still showing 30%. If your phone battery is past its prime, battery replacement surgery can make that old phone feel young again!

Software & Hardware Lag

As you load up your phone with more apps, photos, videos and data over time, performance can take a hit. Slow boot times, freezing, unresponsive apps, and random crashes suggest your phone may be due for some software maintenance and hardware upgrades. We offer tune-ups to clean out clutter, update software, and replace aging components.
