The IPhone4 has launched and we really love it. Have your guys encountered such situations like your phone get watered, battery shortage and scratches on the screen. Here I have some suggestion for you.
When Your Phone Get a Shower
When you dropped your phone into water by accident, firstly don't press any button, even the off button. (Once you press any button, the water will get everywhere via the circuit board) You may open the back cover and take out the battery to force it turn off. This may help stop the water spread around and this can protect the circuit board. This is vey useful and you may tell your friends this. Then you can use a hair drier to dry it.
Maintenance Tips for Battery
Don't use your phone when there is only one quarter electricity is left (altogether 60), because the radiation is 1000 times larger than normal. How to bring the life back when you can't even turn on the phone? You may find that the usage of the battery becomes shorter and shorter as time goes. Here are the steps you can have the new battery back.
Wrap the battery with paper and put it in a plastic bag, then put the bag into a fridge for 3 days.( the paper can take the extra water)
After 3 days you may take out the bag and put them in the normal place for 2 days.
Then you can charge the battery and it has been tested that the battery can be 80 to 90 percent as the new battery.
If the battery has been run out and you need it urgently, you may get a eraser and erase the brass slice. Then you can put the battery back, you will surprisingly find that it is back to life.
Tips for Scratches
I purchased a smart phone on a website which is from Hong Kong. I can't remember its name, it's like Dino Direct. When I got the phone I was shocked that s smart phone with so many functions can be so cheap. I do love and I did purchase a phone case to protect it. Unfortunately the screen was scratched by my puppy. I got this tip from my friend. You may use the soft towel and put some toothpaste on it. Then you can wipe the screen back and forth for several minutes. You will find that the scratches are missing and you may use some soft towel to wipe another several minutes. The screen will be even brighter. The toothpaste can even clean the bacteria which you make it safer to touch the screen.
Hope these tips can help you to take care of your lovely phone. If you have any better suggestion, please reply.
