MTG Smart Phone Repair
 My Tech Guys are excited to announce that our two Smart Phone techs, Shane Colclough and Richard Caissie have completed the Smart Phone Repair course in Vancouver.  We've been fixing phones since 2010, but this course certifies our techs for fixing smart phones and helped get them familiar with aspects of cell technology that can only be taught in a classroom.  With tonnes of hands on work, it enhanced their ability for unlocking and rooting phones with comprehensive knowledge of complex software solutions.

Updates, Don't Forget

Most of us are familiar with the little pop-ups we get asking us to install updates.  While they only take a few minutes to complete, many of us are guilty of postponing them or just ignoring them completely.

Sometimes the automagic updates can fail so we suggest checking to make sure you have the latest versions of the following once a month. 


 Some of the most common updates are:

 

If you have any questions or feel its been awhile since you've done any updates, call us and book a in-home service call or remote service call 250-890-1065
