What do you do now? How can you survive the day? Where are you going to get a ride home without your Lyft app? Beyond these basic daily needs, there are a few important steps post-screen-cracking.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Back It Up<\/h2>\n<p>If you can still use your phone at all, back up important information. While the cracked screen may be the only visible damage, it\u2019s hard to say what\u2019s going on inside. Smartphones are made better and stronger these days, but that\u2019s no reason to get lazy. Pull important contact information that you might need off of it immediately, too. You\u2019ve likely only memorized a handful of phone numbers, after all!<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, make sure you have the ability to make any calls you need to. Anyone (like a partner or friend) who expects you to respond to text messages might need to get a call from you explaining your radio silence. You might need to hop into a local business to use their phone \u2014 do payphones even exist anymore?<\/p>\n<h2>Look Up Repair Options<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s often the case that accidents like these aren\u2019t covered under warranties or other protections. Either you\u2019re out of the warranty period, or the way you broke the screen isn\u2019t covered. Pull out the laptop and start searching for options. A good repair shop should be able to fix a broken screen quickly, inexpensively and expertly. After all, it\u2019s not like you can drag your laptop around with you anytime you need directions. And who even owns a printer these days? So yes, fast phone screen repairs are most definitely important here.<\/p>\n<h2>Prevention Is Key<\/h2>\n<p>Alright, so you\u2019ve had your phone screen replaced, hallelujah. Now\u2019s the time to make sure this can\u2019t happen again! Get a phone case if you don\u2019t already have one. Upgrade your case if you do. Grab a screen protector. Consider attaching the thing to you with superglue. Okay, so maybe that last one is a bit overkill. But seriously, you may need to look at how you use and hold your phone to try to prevent a cracked screen again.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about what to do with a broken phone screen, feel free to\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thefixsolutions.com\/\">reach out to us<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0here at The Fix for advice or help.
