Software Update Life-Cycle
When a device is chosen to receive a software update, we make sure it's set up to deliver the best possible customer experience. To achieve this, the update goes through several steps involving multiple parties before it's released. Typically, a second version of the software is created based on feedback from TELUS and the device manufacturer. This new version is tested again to fix any issues found earlier. For a look at some of the upcoming device software releases, please see the Software Update article. Here’s a look at the life cycle of a software update: *Originally a blog by our Product Manager, MarcTELUS, we've republished the software lifecycle as an article as it still holds true today.
Protecting Your Smartphone
Protecting Your Smartphone It's an exciting time when a new phone arrives. We want you to make sure you're doing everything possible to keep that new device running smoothly and safely. Let's look at some handy tips for keeping your new smartphone safe. Protection An important first step to consider is buying a phone case to protect your brand new smartphone. Not just an accessory, they can provide peace of mind with shock-absorbing features, waterproofing, and extra grip. Always a smart move. Purchasing an extended warranty is also a good choice, as manufacturer warranties only cover hardware failure. Device Care Complete and AppleCare+ extend the manufacturer's warranty up to 2 years and add protection against accidental damage. Water Damage The key to preventing water damage to your smartphone is to plan and always be prepared. Not keeping your phone in your back pocket will prevent it from falling in the toilet or being sat on. Storing your phone in a sealed waterproof bag or case before you head to the pool or beach will also help. If your phone does get submerged, be sure to remove the battery if you can, and place it in a bowl or bag of rice overnight to absorb as much of the moisture as possible. If that doesn't do the trick, review your warranty guidelines or take it to the nearest TELUS store for repair options. Cracked Screen Some manufacturer warranties cover cracked screens in the first 30 days. If you're past that timeframe however, and you don't have an extended warranty, you can always visit the nearest TELUS store or try Mobile Klinik to look into your options for repair/replacement. Lost or Stolen Device Some common ways to lose your smartphone include leaving it on the rooftop of your car before getting in, or leaving it in a restaurant or store, etc. Always be aware of your surroundings and keep your phone stored safely when not in use. Ensure you have a lock code to protect it if anything should occur. Always remember, you can reach out to our Support team anytime at our Facebook page or by sending a private message to our TELUS_Support handle here if you need assistance. FR version
