Top Tips for HTC Phone Repair

Problems with smartphones, even that shiny new HTC M9 that you’re reading this on, happen eventually. Sometimes, depending on the severity of the problem, repair is simply a better, more cost-effective option than buying a new device.

And given the fact that you’ve most likely got a lot of college related expenses, it makes sense to make the most out of your investment by getting it repaired.

To ensure that you maximise the lifespan of your HTC device, we’ve compiled some repair tips that you should take on board. Let’s start with battery replacement…

Battery Replacement

While HTC phones do not include removable back panels for easy battery replacement, all is not lost if you are looking for a more cost-effective way to simply replace a dying battery if your hardware still sufficiently holds up for your liking. It just takes a bit more effort.

Searching for your model name plus “replacement battery” will lead to DIY Youtube videos on how this process can be done with a small screwdriver, and perhaps some other tools. There are some videos, like this one for the HTC M8, that even include toolkits for sale that make this process easier. (Whether the manufacturer of your phone wants to encourage that practice is another question entirely; know that there is a good chance you would be voiding your warranty. But hey, if you have read this far and your phone is already a couple years old, chances are you are willing to take that risk.)

Simply Reboot

Yes, this is generally the first thing to try if you are having issues of any sort. Like a computer, leaving a phone on for days at a time without powering off is not ideal for the hardware, so try restarting your phone.
