Device Protection FAQ
What are the most common Device Protection problems?
The most frequent issues we see include battery drain, charging problems, slow performance, storage filling up, and accidental damage. Start with software checks (updates, storage, background apps) before moving to hardware diagnostics.
How do I know if my device needs a battery replacement?
If your battery drops quickly, shuts down unexpectedly, or takes unusually long to charge, it may be worn. Check battery health settings (when available) and compare your daily usage to how long the device holds a charge.
Is it safe to buy a used device?
Yes—if you verify key checkpoints like battery condition, screen quality, cameras, speakers, ports, network lock/IMEI status, and that the device can be fully reset and activated. Our buying guides in this category include practical checklists.
Start here: quick checklist
- Update your software and restart (fixes many common glitches).
- Check storage space and remove unused apps/files if you’re running low.
- Review battery health and charging behavior (cable, adapter, port cleanliness).
- Test key functions: camera, speaker, mic, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular.
- Back up important data before attempting deeper troubleshooting.
- If the issue is physical (screen, port, liquid exposure), stop and get diagnostics.
