Common iPhone X problems and how to fix them

Problem that has faced a majority of iPhone X users is temporary screen unresponsiveness when temperatures suddenly drop.

• Or you can simply upgrade latest iOS update.

2. Screen burn-in:

One problem that tends to affect most OLED screens is screen burn-in. Since the iPhone X uses an OLED touch-screen, this smartphone is automatically prone to this issue.

What happens is that an image will tend to leave a print on the display when the screen is left ON for a long time.

4. Face ID issues:

Among the few security options that are used by iPhone X is the Facial recognition system. According to most users, this security feature is sometimes unresponsive or it fails to detect your face. According to other users, this feature can pose a security problem as it’s quite easy to avoid in one way or another. For instance, someone might use your photo to unlock your iPhone X or maybe force you to use this feature to unlock your Smartphone and compromise your Apple Pay account.

If your Face ID feature is unresponsive, simply;

• Clean the front camera and the sensor.
• Hold your phone 20 to 30 inches away from your face and actively stare at the camera.
• Make sure you’re standing in a well-lit room.

5. Sound issues:

Another complaint that has been sent by a large number of iPhone X users is sound issues. Some people state that their iPhones can’t deliver any sound while others complain of crackling sounds when the volume is high. In either case, it’s likely that this problem might be software or hardware related. If the problem is a crackling sound on the speakers, simply;

• Turn off your iPhone X by holding the power button.
• If this doesn’t help, try performing a hard reset. Here, you’ll need to press the Volume Up, the Volume Down. Finally, press the side button until you see an Apple logo. Allow the phone to reboot itself.
• If the problem persists, try checking whether there are dirt particles on the speakers. If there are none, try to switch off the Bluetooth and on again.
• If the above options fail, try to upgrade your iPhone X to the latest iOS upgrade.

Another issue that has raised eyebrows is the wireless charger which fails to charge at times. The charger might be charging slowly or maybe a notification message “wireless charging paused” keeps popping up when charging is in progress. In either way, this issue can be resolved by;

• Making sure the case is plugged.
• Make sure the charging pad is clean and free of dirt.
• If your charger is a third party, make sure it’s certified by Apple.
