You don't even notice as your storage slowly fills up.
Too much data is one of the main reasons phones slow down. Your device accumulates photos, movies, downloaded files, app updates, and data stored in a hidden cache over time. Apps always store temporary files to speed things up, even if you don't use much of them. But over time, these files slow things down.
The phone runs poorly when the storage is too full. Getting rid of files you don't need, apps you don't use, or photos you don't need can speed things up right away. We also help customers safely clean up their devices at CellShoppe so that they don't lose any important info.
Batteries lose power over time.
No matter what brand of phone you have, the battery will die. When used every day for a year, the battery begins to degrade. As it ages, your phone may not be able to handle high-performance tasks as well, leading to slowdowns, lag, and even sudden shutdowns.
Your phone may also feel hot or lose its charge more quickly if its battery is weak. We can test and replace batteries to get them back to speed and improve their performance.
More power is needed for updates.
It gets better every year for apps and running systems. They need more power to run because they have more features, better graphics, and stronger security.
If you have an older phone, these changes may make it too slow. The phone isn't "getting worse," but the new software needs more power than your gear can give it. CellShoppe often helps customers change settings, remove apps that slow down the phone, and make it run faster without losing the features they need.
Problems with dust, debris, and charging: Gather Up
A slow phone could just be because dirt got inside it, which a lot of people don't know. The charge port, speaker grills, and microphone holes all get dusty over time. If the port is clogged, the phone charges slowly or not at all, which slows charging and affects the overall performance of the battery.
It's time for a charging port fix if you notice your phone isn't charging properly or only charges when the cable is held at a certain angle. At CellShoppe, we thoroughly clean and repair ports to get them charging properly again and prevent long-term damage.
People often wonder why iPhones get hot.
"Why is my iPhone getting hot?" is something a lot of people ask us.
The answer usually comes down to the same things that slow down phones: apps that use a lot of data, poor battery life, low storage, or processes running in the background. But when the chip works too hard, iPhones can also get hot. This happens when you use GPS, stream high-resolution movies, charge wirelessly, or run apps that refresh in the background.
At CellShoppe, we often help customers figure out why their phones are overheated and offer simple fixes. Depending on the problem, it could be a battery issue, software overload, or a physical repair.
