Does your phone suddenly shut down and not turn back on? Very irritating! In this blog, we explain what the problem may be and what actions you can take. The following issues are addressed in this blog:

  • Help! A battery problem
  • Phone breaks down on certain apps
  • Phone has water damage
  • phone breaks down while calling
  • Phone keeps breaking down due to cold

Help! a battery problem

If your phone keeps shutting down but has a full battery, a battery problem is likely the culprit. Your battery thinks it is still 20% charged, when in reality the battery is completely empty (at 0%). You can first try a hard reset yourself in this case. Doesn’t this help? If so, your phone is in need of a new battery. You can have the battery replaced at a professional smartphone repair shop, such as ThePhoneLab. Do you have an iPhone and experience this problem? Then also read our blog about iPhone keeps dropping out.

Phone breaks down on certain apps

Does your phone often shut down when you use certain apps? Perhaps a software recovery would be the solution in that case. You can visit our stores for a software recovery, or you can do it yourself. In our blog on software recovery, read how you can do this yourself. Always back up your phone first so you don’t lose your data.

Phone has water damage

Have you dropped your phone in water recently? What a bummer! Water in the phone causes a short circuit. This may be the reason why your phone screen continuously fails. Do you have water damage? Then come in for a water damage cleaning as soon as possible. Because the longer water sits in your phone, the more damage it can do internally. For example, parts may rust. And then your phone still, after a long time, breaks down.

Phone breaks down while calling

Do you have a Samsung phone and your phone breaks down while calling? This most likely means that your battery needs replacement. Your battery probably can’t handle any more calls. There is only one solution: a new battery. See what it entails to replace your Samsung battery here.

Phone keeps breaking down due to cold

Does your phone screen drop out often and is it very cold outside? If so, it may be due to the cold. Read more about this in our blog on what the cold does to your battery.
