Cracked screen repairs advices on Skinit Fixit

First, assess the damage, and that means getting your phone on a solid surface and in a good light, not just giving it a quick once-over before stuffing it back in your pocket. With a little bit of stress testing and careful prodding you should be able to work out whether the screen is about to fall off or fail completely. In a lot of cases it will stay in place, cracks and all, so you can at least keep tweeting, so long as the screen is still visible and functioning. The name of the game here is, “hold out until I’m eligible for an upgrade.” If you want to keep using the cracked phone, and don’t want to risk losing glass or slicing up your fingers, cover the screen with a layer of packing tape. Line everything up carefully and trim it with an X-acto knife and it may look almost like a real screen protector.

Extended lifespan for you Nokia or other mobile phone brands? The way you charge your phone can have a significant impact on the life of its battery. Increasingly, phone batteries aren’t removable, meaning it can be impossible or at least very difficult to replace them if they stop working. Let’s bust a myth about phone batteries right away – ‘battery memory’, the idea that you need to drain your battery completely before re-charging it, does not apply to phones (nor tablets and laptops). This applies only to nickel-based batteries. Phones use lithium-ion batteries, which perform best when they are topped off with a charge as much as possible. In fact, letting your phone spend too much time below 50% charge can shorten its lifespan. We recommend either plugging it in or turning it off before it hits 40% and charging it up to 80% or higher before removing it.

After you have your phone repaired maybe it’s time to buy a better screen protection ?

Toothpaste gives you nice breath AND hides the scratches on your phone. This method can fix a small scratch, or at least hide it. Put a tiny bit of toothpaste on a cotton bud and rub it on the scratch, making sure it doesn’t find its way into headphone sockets, buttons or other vulnerable parts of your device. It will make your phone minty fresh, although it won’t restore it to mint condition. But this is amateur stuff, i suggest to see a professional. See more details at iPhone repair.
