    • How to get a new SIM card while keeping your phone number?

      Apply with your passport to any MegaFon salon in the Home region in which the agreement was concluded. You can get a new SIM card for free and continue to use your number. The tariff and all terms of service remain the same; there is no need to enter into a new contract for the provision of communication services.

      Was the information useful? Not reallyReview sent. Thank you!

    • How do I keep my number?

      The number remains yours as long as the balance is positive. If you do not use the number and do not activate the blocking service, then at least once every 90 days you need to use communication services: outgoing calls, incoming calls, sending SMS, sending and receiving MMS, accessing the Internet. If you do not use communication services for more than 90 calendar days in a row on call tariffs and longer than 180 calendar days in a row on Internet tariffs, the subscription fee for maintaining the number begins to be charged daily.

      In case of non-use of communication services on any of the subscriber numbers combined on one personal account for more than 90 (ninety) calendar days in a row, the contract for the provision of communication services in relation to this subscriber number is considered terminated at the initiative of the subscriber.

      The amount of the subscription fee for maintaining the number, the conditions for its debiting and the period at the end of which the contract for the provision of communication services will be terminated and the number can be transferred to another subscriber is indicated in the description of your tariff. You can find it in the Tariffs or Tariffs Archive section.

      If you do not use communication services for more than 90 days and the Personal Account balance is zero or negative, the contract is considered terminated on your initiative. If the number has not been transferred to another person, it can be restored by filling out an application at the MegaFon salon.

      If you plan to not use mobile communications for a long time (more than 90 days), block your number.

Many of us have encountered a problem when a smartphone or tablet suddenly stops turning on or responding to commands in any way. Smart devices do not last forever; a gadget that is truly reliable in all respects has never been created. Manufacturers are forced to reduce phone production costs by using less expensive materials and components to reduce the cost of gadgets. And sometimes this leads to problems with the device.

Why doesn't my Android tablet or smartphone turn on or charge?

If your Android device malfunctions, there is no need to panic and immediately run to the store for a new smartphone. Statistics show that in most cases, your device can be cured at home and at minimal cost. Of course, if the cause of the breakdown was not a fall or water getting inside.

The reasons for the failure of Android devices are divided into two types: hardware and software failures.

Hardware failures

Hardware failures - This physical malfunctions due to which your tablet or smartphone refuses to work. These could be problems with the battery, charger, mechanical damage from impacts and water, even unprofessional assembly - poorly soldered contacts on the circuits, weak sizing, etc.

The first thing you should check is the charger cable. It is the most vulnerable link in the charging chain of a smartphone or tablet. Try using your cable to charge another compatible device. If the charge increases, the problem is with your device. If not, the electrical outlet may not be working: try a different outlet. If this does not help, you need to repeat all the procedures with another cable.

The charger cable must be intact, completely insulated, without visible defects or obvious bends.

An example of what a faulty charger cable looks like

Also pay attention to the charger connector. The contact for charging the phone should not be interfered with by dust and small debris. It is better not to use iron objects for cleaning, as they can scratch the contacts - a cotton swab or brush is best.

So, after performing the above steps, it becomes clear that the fault is not in the charger. Devices with the Android operating system have a small defect when they are completely discharged to zero - they cannot be turned on. Try leaving the phone to charge for several hours and repeat the power-on procedure. Hold down the power button a little longer than usual.

Software failures

Software failures manifest themselves in low-quality software, an untested uncertified system update, or a game that led to a critical error in the system; It could also be errors in the firmware and other reasons.

Before taking your gadget for repair, you can try resetting the settings in Recovery mode. It is possible that a software error is to blame.

What is Recovery Mode? Essentially, this resets all your data and returns it to factory settings.


These actions will allow you to roll back all changes in your phone to the moment when you bought it and started using it, which means that in this way you can erase all possible software errors that were made while working with the device - downloading and installing applications, downloading multimedia etc.

Why the tablet turns on but does not boot completely: possible reasons and what to do

There are several main reasons why this problem occurs when the device does not boot completely. Let's highlight the most common ones.

Phone memory completely full

When the memory of a phone or tablet is completely full, it will turn on sooner or later, but it cannot boast of performance. In this case, it is recommended to clear the memory of unnecessary files:

  • remove unnecessary applications or move them to a memory card (microSD), if you have one;
  • delete or move photos, videos and music files to a computer or memory card;
  • using special programs (Clean Master, CCleaner, Cache Cleaner Easy) to clear the cache memory;
  • reboot the device.

Firmware error

It is not uncommon for problems to arise during the update or flashing process that lead to unpleasant consequences. The most correct thing in this case would be to reset the factory settings as described above or through “Settings”.

Mechanical damage

If the problem is mechanical damage, then the user cannot fix anything. Only the intervention of a technician from the service center will help here.

Other problems with turning on an Android tablet or smartphone and ways to solve them

There are several other options for problems related to turning on your Android device.

Let's say your phone or tablet is charging, but categorically refuses to turn on. If vibration occurs when you try to turn it on, then the phone itself is fine, but the display is not responding. Perhaps the contacts have come loose or the screen itself has broken. If the Recovery menu is also not shown, you need to contact a technician for hardware diagnostics.

If the new tablet does not turn on, the instructions are the same as above. Just don’t need to reflash it, because in this case the warranty disappears. If your device does not turn on immediately after purchase, the best solution is to return it immediately.

If, before it stopped responding to commands, your smartphone or tablet had charging problems (the battery discharged too quickly, the device turned off when fully charged), then you will have to replace the battery.

And don't forget about the problem with the power button. Your device may be in good working order, but a faulty power button can paralyze your gadget. Repairing a button is not too expensive, but it should only be done by a professional with special skills.

How to prevent similar inclusion problems in the future

  1. No one is immune from breakages and shocks, therefore, no matter how carefully you treat your smartphone or tablet, it is best for safety to synchronize data with Google+ or other storage that you trust.
  2. Do not install applications and games from unknown sources on your device. It is best to use the Play Market. If you cannot do without installing programs from unofficial sites, carefully read the technical descriptions and reviews of the applications you want to install.
  3. Avoid physical damage, especially while charging the battery. Use protective covers, they will soften the consequences of the impact.

Don’t despair if your smartphone or tablet suddenly malfunctions. If the problem is not mechanical damage or the charger, in most cases you can fix it yourself and continue to use it safely. You should decide to flash the firmware as a last resort - if no other methods help, and the device’s warranty period has already expired.

If problems arise with a wet gadget, do not connect it to the mains and stop pressing the buttons. as soon as possible and only then follow the advice in this article.

If you are sure that the inside of the smartphone is dry, feel free to continue.

Even modern gadgets with a high level of technology development can fail. There are often cases when your smartphone simply does not want to turn on. Many people fall into a stupor and don’t even know what to do if their phone doesn’t turn on. We will present the most common causes of this failure, as well as possible solutions.

Why it doesn’t turn on and how to solve it

In most cases, the problem is related to the gadget's battery. A less common option is problems with the operating system. Before taking your device to a service center and preparing money for repairs, we recommend taking a few independent steps to identify the problem. The problem may be trivial, which you can solve without outside help.

Battery faults

There are several reasons why your phone won't turn on. Perhaps the battery is simply dead and charging is not having any effect. This is the most popular problem, but there may be several reasons:


  • Another reason why Android won’t turn on is that the power button is broken. If you have a new smartphone, then this may be a defect. Then take it back and exchange it for a new copy. Otherwise, you will have to contact a workshop, where they will replace the button for money if the problem really lies there.
  • The worst case scenario is that the power controller on the phone has burned out. It is he who is responsible for the charging process of the gadget. The only way out is to take the phone to a service center and then have it replaced.

As you can see, users can solve most problems on their own if the phone does not turn on. To extend the life of the battery, do not frequently discharge the gadget to zero, but use only certified chargers from the manufacturer.

Memory card

The problem may be that you inserted an SD card into the gadget that the smartphone does not support. This may lead to failures in the program code and impossibility of inclusion. How to turn on the gadget? Just slide out the wrong memory card. If it still does not activate, you may have to reflash your smartphone.

Beforehand, always read the specifications which memory cards your mobile device supports and up to what capacity. You can also get advice from mobile showroom sellers.

Incorrect system update

Some smartphones, after updating to a more recent firmware, turn into , which will no longer turn on using the usual method. The solution may be to restore to factory settings. This can be done using . To enter it, follow these steps:
  1. Hold down the "Volume Up" key.
  2. Without releasing it, hold down the Home key.
  3. At the same time, press the third “Power” key.

On some smartphones, the transition is carried out by pressing “+.- volume” and the “Power” button. Using the volume keys, you need to move the slider to the line “Wipe data/factory reset”, and then confirm your choice by clicking “Yes - delete all user data”.

You will be able to clear the cash and data section. But be careful as all personal data (photos, contacts, videos and apps) will be lost. If there is something important on your phone, contact the service center.

This is relevant if loading your phone hangs at the “Android” icon. This also indicates that the firmware is not working correctly. On some devices there is a special button that can only be pressed with a needle or toothpick.

Viruses

If your phone won't boot, the operating system files may have been damaged by a virus. Here you will need to reflash the phone. In some service centers, specialists will be able to restore the phone’s functionality by cleaning it from viruses. To avoid such situations, we recommend downloading applications only from the official Play Market and installing an antivirus. You can choose ESET or Dr.Web for mobile devices.

Has the internet on your phone suddenly stopped working? There may be many reasons why it works, each of which requires separate consideration and solution.

There are a number of reasons why the Internet on a phone does not work, which are trivial and often happen due to simple inattention.

However, there are also those that are more difficult to deal with; they require a longer and more complex solution.

We have collected the most common problems with the Internet not working.

Update - 2019.12.20 We wrote these instructions in 2018, but they are still relevant. If for some reason you do not find the solution you need, you can contact us in the comments. Try to describe in detail the essence of your problem, and we will definitely try to help you.

Trivial problems

These reasons include a number of problems that can be solved using the simplest methods.

Checking these points is a priority if there is no access to the network.

  • The first and also the most common reason why there is no mobile Internet on the phone is a negative balance. Sometimes mobile operators withdraw funds without the user’s knowledge. It could also be due to simple forgetfulness. In any case, if there is no Internet, it is worth checking the funds in your account. Verification methods usually differ depending on the mobile operator.
  • Lack of network can also be the reason for lack of internet. In this case, it is enough to check the network indicator. The solution to this problem can only be movement in space. Since the cause of this phenomenon is the specific location of the user. Depending on the distance of the communication towers, the network in different locations can range from excellent to non-existent. This directly affects the operation of the mobile Internet. That is, if the network is low, then the Internet will be slow. Sometimes the reason may lie in the device itself. If the network is always quite low (even if the user is near the tower), then it’s worth taking it for repair.
  • "Data transfer" is not enabled. In modern gadgets, mobile Internet does not work on its own. It consumes a certain amount of phone power. In order to reduce battery consumption, a function was invented that allows you to turn off. Therefore, it is worth finding this item in the settings and checking it or switching the toggle switch (depending on the model).
  • Network registration failed. This phenomenon is possible after there is no network. As mentioned above, it is enough to change the location of the deployment. However, it happens that the user has come to a place where the network should work perfectly, but it is still disabled. The solution to this problem is to restart the phone. Often this problem is specific to 3G networks.

Sometimes the previous points are irrelevant, and then you have to look for a more compelling reason for the lack of network.

Access settings are lost

This is not uncommon for modern gadgets. Therefore, it is worth checking the settings related to the network access point (APN).

Usually it is not difficult to find this item in the settings, but its location may vary depending on the phone model.

There are 2 ways to solve this problem:

Request settings from your network operator. Not all users know how to fix this problem. Therefore, you can contact your mobile operator, who will not only tell you everything point by point, but will also send you automatic settings; you just need to download them.

Manual setup. A more complex option and it is not suitable for everyone, since many users do not even know where to find the settings item (not to mention how to fix them). Typically, this setting will still have to be done with the help of an operator. It happens that automatic network setup for a certain phone model is not possible. In such cases, again, you need to call your cellular operator and find out the points for setting up the network manually. Usually the operator will tell you point by point where to go, what to click and enter into the fields. After this, click the “save” button. Problem solved!

Usually, eliminating the above points is enough to solve the problem. However, it also happens that the reason lies deeper.

If the above points did not help you log into the network, you should contact a specialist. Sometimes the phone requires more serious settings, flashing or even some repairs.

Sometimes it is enough to contact the service center of the service operator. Perhaps they will be able to find the cause and eliminate it.

To connect to high-speed mobile Internet, you need to switch to the appropriate tariff of your mobile operator.

And although nowadays almost all of them provide access to high speeds, the old tariffs do not have this opportunity.

Therefore, it is recommended to choose the most convenient and suitable tariff that provides such services and buy a card, or reconnect using an operator, or enter certain combinations, which can also be sent with a code.

However, it is worth considering that such Internet functions are not possible on all phones, but only on modern smartphones.

And not all of them support 4G functionality. Therefore, when connecting a tariff with this function, you should make sure whether it is supported by the gadget.

However, such functions consume a large amount of traffic, so when choosing a tariff you need to take this into account and give preference to unlimited access.

But this possibility is not always present. Therefore, when leaving the network, you need to turn off “data transfer”.

Do not forget about the banal reasons for the lack of Internet and check this function when connecting to the network.

If the tariff is not unlimited and the user has not disabled “data transfer”, it is possible to write off funds from the account if the allotted amount available has been exhausted.

Therefore, it is worth considering this point in the absence of access and checking the account.

Check your phone's speed mode

It is also possible that high-speed Internet coverage is not available in a certain region. In this case (on some mobile operators) there is an automatic transition to using 2G Internet.

It also happens that there is no access. In this case, you need to contact the network operator and find out what the reason is. Sometimes it's enough to reconfigure your phone.

But it’s impossible to solve the coverage problem, so when connecting to a tariff, you should carefully study the information on the website on this issue so that there are no difficulties later.

Sometimes there may be difficulties with access if the network user is on the move. This usually does not apply to simple walking.

The problem is relevant when traveling by transport, since sometimes the phone does not have time to switch between communication towers, which causes interruptions in the Internet.

In this case, you should either reduce the speed of movement, or be patient with logging into the Internet until the vehicle stops.

The lack of Internet is also possible if 3G technology is disabled.

This is an item in the settings of some that is responsible for the operation of this function and is disabled to save energy or traffic. Therefore, if there is no connection or low load, it is worth checking whether this item is enabled.

One of the common problems may be that it has been used for more than 5 years. The fact is that the production of new SIM cards uses improved technologies to speed up the connection.

In this case, it is enough to change the SIM card to a new one, which will eliminate the possibility of this problem.

The most popular way to access the Internet is to connect using .

All modern phones have the capability of such a wireless connection.

In addition, public institutions also provide such access.

Nowadays, you can easily connect to the network if there is an open connection.

However, various problems with Wi-Fi are not uncommon.
