Major Software Issues with Cell Phones

In the following sections, I’ll go over the most typical software issues that any smartphone can have. However, I’ll use software issues with the “Android OS” and “iOS” as an example. I won’t go into detail about Windows, but my recommendations apply to any phone, independent of operating system.

Software Bugs, Symptoms, and Solutions for a Variety of Phones

I’ve personally handled numerous phone software issues for a variety of people. As you might guess, I rarely go to an engineer with a software problem. Only the manufacturer can solve it if I can’t. In the vast majority of cases, the local engineer will be unable to resolve the issue (unless he is replacing the PCB)

What to Do If Your Phone Will Not Turn On

The worst thing that can happen to your phone is this. Please verify sure yours isn’t caused by an exhausted or broken battery or a malfunctioning power switch/button before continuing.

If your phone suddenly stops working for no apparent reason (although it must have been giving you some signs which you ignored). Do the following to force your phone to wake up.

• If you have an older generation phone, such as a Nokia java, Symbian, or Tecno java. Please take it to a phone engineer once it has died.
• Compatible with all iPhones (mind you, iPhones hardly die except you jailbreak and install incompatible tweaks on it). If your iPhone becomes stuck in a boot loop, attempt a soft reset by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time. The iPhone is a smartphone that was released in 2007.
• Any other issues you encounter with your iPhone, aside from it refusing to switch on or getting stuck at the Apple logo. It can be resolved by restarting the device, removing the problematic app, or resetting the device under settings>>general>>reset>>reset all settings.
• For Android phones: If your Android device appears to turn on and boot up normally, but you are experiencing a difficulty.

When your Android device isn’t booting properly, there’s a hidden way to execute a factory reset. Note that this will wipe the contents of your Android device and restore it to its factory settings.

This method should only be utilized in the most dire of circumstances, such as when your device is rendered inoperable due to crashing or frozen software. Keep in mind that anything that isn’t linked to an internet service will be lost. To begin, you’ll need to enter recovery mode on your device.

• Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power to turn the device off fully, then turn it back on with one of the following button combinations:
• Now press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons.
• Power + Hold Home
• Press and hold the Volume Up + Camera buttons at the same time.

This will differ depending on the device. If none of these combinations work, try searching for your device’s name and “recovery mode” on Google to get the correct key combination for your device.

If you’re successful, the smartphone will boot to an Android screen with an open chest panel. Using the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, navigate to the Recovery mode option on the screen.

Your device will reboot into recovery mode if you press the Power button. Once you’ve entered recovery mode, the steps are self-explanatory.

When an Android Application Fails

You can get a notice on your Android phone that says, “Unfortunately, **** has ceased operating.”

Apps can malfunction for a variety of reasons. Is there a new version of the app or your phone available? Install it if this is the case. Otherwise, you can force close the program by swiping it away from the multitask menu and then reopening it. If not, please clear the cache of that specific program.

A sluggish and Frozen user Interface

Memory is one of the most common causes of sluggish phone responsiveness. It could also be a faulty MicroSD card or an overflowing internal memory.

Delete or transfer unused applications and photographs to the cloud or a microSD card. You should also close any open apps you aren’t using. Remove app cache, and restrict your use of live wallpapers.

Error Syncing/Synchronization of Phones

We’re still on the Android platform. There are a number of things you can take to resolve syncing issues. To begin, make sure you’re connected to the internet and that the service you’re attempting to sync with isn’t down, such as Google, Gmail, or Dropbox. Make sure your password is valid before attempting to sync again.

Android Apps won’t Download via the Default Download Manager

To begin, I do not download using the native Android browser or Chrome on my Android phone. I use the Ucweb browser since it allows me to continue my downloads and it is really quick.

Your apps may not be downloading for one of two reasons. First, try deleting the cache on the Google Play store. If it doesn’t work, clear Google Play’s cache. It’s most likely a corrupt cache, and all you have to do now is clear it.

To access the app’s menu, go to the Google Play store and press on the three lines in the upper left corner of the screen. To clear your local search history, go to Settings and select Clear local search history.

It’s most likely a corrupt cache, and all you have to do now is clear it. Clear the cache by going to Settings> Applications> All Apps> Google Play Store (or any other Google service)> Storage. The problem should be resolved if you restart your phone.
