Phones are a part of life now. We use them for everything, WhatsApp messages, videos, online payments, even planning weddings. But sometimes, they just don’t cooperate. And it’s frustrating.
The good news? Most problems are easy to fix. You don’t always need a repair shop. A little attention at home can save a lot of headaches.
Battery Drains Too Fast
Ever notice your phone showing 50% and then dying in an hour? Happens to everyone. Especially during wedding season when everyone is messaging, sharing photos, or checking group chats.
I remember my cousin’s phone dying in the middle of mehndi planning. She had a bunch of photos to send. Everyone panicked. But really, it was just the battery.
Why it happens: Heavy apps, high brightness, and too many apps running in the background. Old batteries also die faster.
Fix it: Check which apps use the most battery. Lower screen brightness. Close apps you’re not using. Avoid using the phone while charging, it heats up the battery. And if the battery is old, consider replacing it. A new battery feels like a fresh start.
Phone Overheats
Phones can get really hot. Playing PUBG, streaming videos, or charging while using the phone is often the cause.
I’ve seen friends in Lahore holding their phones carefully because they got too hot to touch.
Why it happens: Heavy use, thick cases, or charging in direct sunlight.
Fix it: Remove thick cases when it gets hot. Close heavy apps. Give your phone breaks. And never charge it under a pillow.
Slow Performance
Lagging phones are annoying. Opening Instagram or typing a WhatsApp message can feel like forever.
My aunt in Karachi had this problem while replying to wedding invites. Her phone kept freezing. She got frustrated quickly.
Why it happens: Full storage, too many apps, or outdated software.
Fix it: Delete unused apps. Move photos or videos to Google Photos or your computer. Restart your phone now and then, it refreshes the system. Keep software updated. Updates often fix slow performance.
Touchscreen Not Responding
Sometimes the screen doesn’t respond. You tap, and nothing happens.
My cousin in Islamabad had this while finalizing mehndi dress designs. She was stuck and annoyed.
Why it happens: Dirty screens, old screen protectors, software glitches, or hardware problems.
Fix it: Clean the screen. Remove old protectors. Restart your phone. If it still doesn’t work, back up data and try a factory reset. Persistent problems? Get it checked professionally.
Apps Keep Crashing
Open an app, and it shuts immediately. TikTok freezing mid-video or WhatsApp crashing while sending photos is very common.
My cousin in Peshawar faced this while sending wedding invites online. Very stressful.
Why it happens: Outdated apps, software bugs, or low phone memory.
Fix it: Update the app. Clear the cache. If it still crashes, uninstall and reinstall. Make sure your phone system is up to date.
Wi-Fi or Mobile Data Issues
Slow internet or random disconnections can ruin plans. Imagine trying to book a ride for wedding shopping and the connection drops.
Why it happens: Weak signal, network issues, or phone settings.
Fix it: Switch Wi-Fi or data off and on. Forget the network and reconnect. Restart your phone. If it persists, reset network settings. Sometimes, you may need to call your provider.
Call or Speaker Problems
Low sound or muffled calls are frustrating. My uncle in Karachi struggled to hear relatives during wedding calls because of dust in the speaker.
Why it happens: Dust, hardware problems, or software glitches.
Fix it: Clean the speaker carefully. Try headphones to check if the problem is the speaker. If it’s a hardware issue, a repair shop can help.
Conclusion
Phones make life easier, but they’re not perfect. Problems happen. Most are easy to fix at home. Check battery usage, clean your phone, update apps, and don’t overload it. Little care goes a long way. And when all else fails, trusted repair shops in Pakistan are always there to help.
Your phone is like a little helper. Treat it well, and it will keep you connected, stress-free, and ready for life’s busy moments, especially during wedding season.
