What is Phone Fault? Mobile phone fault could be the abnormal state of your mobile phone. This could be caused by several factors ranging from physical damage which has to do with the phone hardware or software problems which has to do with the phone software. Some of the common mobile phone fault includes:

Overheating usually occur while surfing the internet, watching movies or playing games.

- The battery drains faster than normal
Microphone Fault
This is one of the mobile phone faults that can be caused by many factor. It’s usually as a result of microphone also known as the mouth piece damage. If your phone mouth piece is damaged, you may experience difficulty communicating with the caller.

Faulty speaker
Fault speaker is one of the problems you can face as a mobile phone user. This is usually caused by damaged speaker. Once your speaker is damaged, you won’t listen to any sound from the phone, which means you can’t hear music sounds, videos, etc.
Solution
You can solve this by either using an earpiece or taking the phone to a phone doctor.
Please don’t be confused; damaged speaker is different from mouth piece fault. Speaker fault means you can hear any sound from the phone while mouth piece fault means you can’t hear any voice while you’re on call.

Phone damage caused by water
This occur when your phone mistakenly fall inside water. Once such incident occurs, quickly remove the phone from the water, remove the batter if it’s removable and don’t power on the phone for some time, keep it where there is heat, then after a while try to on it. I could’ve asked you to open the phone but you may not have the right tools, so the best option is to take it to the repairer if the above steps didn’t solve the problem.
