3 Method to Fix Basic iPhone Problems that You Need to Know
An iPhone or iPad in use suddenly encounters a problem. Can’t use the machine normally. Don’t be alarmed. Today I will introduce 3 steps to fix basic problems that occur with your iPhone, iPad, some of which we can fix ourselves without needing to call a technician. What will there be? Let’s go see it.
3 Methods to Solve Basic iPhone and iPad Problems that You Need to Know
1. How to force restart
Apple stated that: You should only force restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as a last resort. And only do this if the device isn’t responding. To force restart your device, press the Sleep/Wake button. and hold the Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Or some people might call it a Hard Reset, etc.
This method should only be done if strange problems occur. with the device, for example, suddenly the sound from the speakers does not come out, the device does not vibrate, the GPS is not accurate, or the device does not respond, cannot press anything, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to do this method first. You can do it by
- Method 1: Press and hold the Home button and the Power button at the same time. Until you see the Apple logo, release your hand (applicable to iPhone 2G – iPhone 6s
- Method 2: Press and hold the Power button at the same time. Until you see the Apple logo, release your hand (compatible with iPhone 7 – iPhone 8)
- Method 3: Press and release the volume up button, and press and release the volume down button. Then press and hold the side button (where the Power button is) until you see the Apple logo, then release your hand (applicable to iPhone X).
Doing this has been found to help solve many basic hardware-related problems.
Special Note:
- If your iPhone won’t charge or charges slowly, after step 1 it didn’t help. Try changing the charging cable, try using a toothbrush to clean the charging hole (use a flashlight to look at the charging port). In case there is dust stuck in there. Take it all out first), replace the charger head or adapter as well.
- If you can’t connect to WiFi from your home router Try connecting elsewhere or through a hotspot to see if WiFi on your iPhone can be used.
2. Reset All Settings
Resetting all settings of the machine is to return all settings in the machine to the way they came from the factory. (Data will not be lost) For example, after resetting all settings, the ringtone that was previously set will return to factory settings, the WiFi that was previously connected will not be remembered and must be connected again, the password that was previously set will also disappear, etc.
Doing this will restore the iPhone or iPad to factory defaults before knowing if the problem with the iPhone is caused by incorrect settings or not.
The way are as:
- Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
- Settings> General> Reset> Reset all settings
3. Clean the machine (Restore)
Wiping the device means deleting data in the memory and reinstalling the operating system (OS). On the iOS side, it’s called Restore iOS. On the Android side, it’s called Factory reset.
The result is that the iPhone will have a fresh install of iOS, just like it came out of the box when you bought it, completely new, with only Apple-designated apps installed and these apps you can delete. Can’t get it from the machine either. Of course, everything will be deleted from your iPhone, so you’ll need to back it up first.
There are 3 methods for cleaning the machine that I recommend:
- Method 1: Clean the iPhone. This will get the current iOS installed.
- Method 2: Use iTunes on your computer in normal mode to get the latest iOS from Apple.
- Method 3: Use iTunes on your computer via DFU Mode to get the latest iOS from Apple.
You can understand each method. But for those who don’t want to waste time, we recommend that you follow method 3 so that you can know for sure if it’s the software or the hardware that’s at fault.
Summarize
The 3 recommended steps are done to eliminate the software problem from the hardware. If you do the 3 steps and it doesn’t go away, it means that “the device is not broken.” But if the same problem still exists, it means that the device is broken.
My experience
- 70% of iPhone problems are caused by software and user errors.
- 20% is caused by accessories such as USB cables, adapters, and computers used to manage them.
- 10% damage on the device The symptoms of damage from the device include WiFi not being able to connect, the touch screen not being able to work, the Touch ID button not being able to scan, the camera being blurry….
