Mobile phones are sophisticated pieces of technology and have developed far beyond a simple tool for making calls or keeping in contact. Whilst the added layers of sophistication bring added benefits, the modern day smart phone can be both an expensive and sometimes temperamental device. Much like a personal computer, most mobile phones can be enhanced by adding additional software programs, including games, applications and other resources. Each of these can affect how the phone operates and will interact with other programs on the device. This can cause problems if one program does not respond properly to others that are running at the same time. If your mobile starts acting strangely the first thing to check is if a recently added programme is causing the issues and if you are not sure, uninstall or reverse any recent changes. Often a manufacturer will start shipping a new model of mobile phone and continue to modify and improve the operating system that runs it. Periodically they will release a new version of this software, or firmware as it is known. Although many users will never go through the process of updating this firmware and will not miss the enhancements, if you are finding issues with your mobile phone not working as you would expect, making sure you have the latest firmware is a good starting point. Many mobiles will allow you to update this straight from the handset (which may incur data download charges), whilst others require updating through a computer with an internet connection. It is always a good idea to fully charge your phone and backup your data before starting any update. Different manufacturers also have different ways of resetting their handsets to a default status, something that can help you get your mobile working if something goes wrong when installing new software. The manual that came with the handset should provide details on how to go through this procedure. Because mobile phones are by their very nature carried around, sometimes with less care than is ideal, there is a tendency for damage to occur to them. For the technically minded it is possible to purchase replacement parts from the case and battery, right through to the keypad or lcd screen. Whilst changing some of these parts can require a degree of concentration, there are many "how to" guides and videos available on the internet, covering a wide range of devices and problems.
