If you’re already an iPhone X user, you know that having the device can be both a blessing and a curse. Apple’s iPhone X is loaded with features and extras - the likes of which have never been seen before.

iPhone X’s problems tend to range from your smartphone’s facial identification not working to an unresponsive touchscreen. One of the most common problems that occur is broken glass. Cracked screens on an iPhone X  are more prevalent because the phone is mostly comprised of a screen, therefore there is more glass covering the surface area of the device.

For screen cracks, you may be covered under an AppleCare Warranty, so it is best to check. If the warranty is expired, schedule a repair with Puls and we’ll fix your shattered screen, today.

Apple created this ultra-powerful machine, which isn’t quite fool-proof. But that’s ok. We want to prepare you for any future screen issues you may encounter, and help you with how to fix them along the way.

 

Unresponsive Screen

Regarding frozen, lagging or just plain unresponsive screens, it can come from a number of factors. For one, you could have too many apps running in the background. Nine times out of ten, lagging is a direct result of a lack of storage space on your Apple device.

Your screen certainly won't wait on you to ask it to freeze, it'll sort of do it on its own. This means it could happen in the middle of an important business phone call. In the same vein, it could just as easily happen while restarting your device.

So how do you fix it? If you haven’t yet upgraded to the new iOS update version 11.1.2., you should do so immediately. You problems will probably be fixed in a jiffy. The bug causing this issue was officially released with this update.

You can perform a hard reset if the software update does not work. To do this, you should: 

  1. Press and quickly release the ‘volume up’ button.
  2. Next, press and quickly release the ‘volume down’ button.
  3. Last, press and hold the side power button until the Apple logo appears.

Try also, rebooting your phone in recovery mode.

 

Face ID Failure

You can use Apple's facial ID in a lot of amazing ways with the iPhone X. For starters, users can make personalized emojis, log into their phone, as well as various functions using just one’s face. To ensure that you can make use of the facial recognition feature without glitches, try these quick fixes:

  1. Turn on/off your phone’s facial ID: Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Use Face ID > Disable iPhone Unlock. You'll turn off your iPhone then go back to Settings and re-enable iPhone unlock.
  2. Reset your face ID: Settings > Face ID & Passcode Reset Face ID.  
  3. Reset All Settings: Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

  

Green Line On iPhone X Screen

Have you ever seen a green line appear on your phone’s screen? If so, there is not much that can be done, but Apple is replacing all of the smartphones affected by this mysterious green line.

The iPhone X sometimes seems to have a mind of its own. In instances like this, you might be trying to navigate and your screen just goes black. In other scenarios, your phone is totally unresponsive after long periods of inactivity (i.e. after a night’s sleep).

If you can tell that your phone is still on because it is making a sound or you take a screenshot to listen for the shutter sound it makes, the simple solution to this is a force restart. Another could be charging the device. This should happen in the event that you cannot hear anything or the iPhone is showing no signs of having juice.

Home maintenance can feel overwhelming when it’s framed as one endless checklist. When everything seems important at once, it’s easy to delay action altogether and hope nothing urgent pops up. A room-by-room strategy makes home care feel more manageable. Instead of thinking about your home as one big project, you focus on individual spaces. This makes it easier to notice small changes, address issues early, and avoid the kind of problems that grow quietly over time. Kitchen: Where Wear and Tear Adds Up Fast Kitchens combine water, electricity, heat, and daily use, which naturally increases the chances of things wearing down. Under-sink leaks, loose outlets, and aging fixtures are common early warning signs. Because many kitchen components are tucked away inside cabinets, small problems often stay hidden until damage spreads. Catching these issues early keeps repairs simpler, faster, and far less expensive. Bathrooms: Constant Moisture, Constant Risk Bathrooms deal with daily humidity, which puts ongoing stress on plumbing connections, fixtures, and surfaces. Slow drains, loose faucets, or subtle discoloration around fixtures are often the first signs that something needs attention. Moisture-related issues rarely resolve on their own. Addressing them early helps prevent mold growth, water damage, and structural problems that can disrupt your home and budget. Living Areas: Subtle Signals Matter In living rooms and bedrooms, maintenance issues often show up visually or electrically. Small wall cracks, flickering lights, or loose mounted items can indicate settling, wiring wear, or anchor problems inside the walls. Because these changes happen gradually, they’re easy to normalize. Paying attention early keeps fixes straightforward and prevents damage from spreading behind the scenes. Entryways and Hallways: High Traffic, High Stress Doors, frames, and walls in high-traffic areas experience constant movement and pressure. Sticking doors or shifting frames can be early signs of alignment issues or normal structural movement that needs adjustment. Handling these issues early keeps everyday wear from turning into long-term damage that affects multiple rooms. Laundry Areas: Small Spaces, Big Impact Laundry hookups are one of the most common sources of unnoticed leaks. Hoses, valves, and drains wear down slowly, and even minor drips can lead to significant water damage if left unchecked. Because laundry areas are often out of sight, problems here tend to go unnoticed longer than they should. Regular inspection and timely service can prevent costly flooring and wall repairs. Why a Room-by-Room Approach Works Breaking maintenance down by room helps homeowners feel more in control of their home. It creates a natural rhythm for checking key areas without feeling like everything needs attention at once. This approach also makes it easier to prioritize. Rooms with water, electricity, or heavy use naturally deserve more frequent attention than low-impact spaces. How This Strategy Helps With Budgeting Room-based maintenance spreads costs out over time instead of letting them pile up into emergency repairs. Small, planned fixes are easier to budget for than sudden, expensive problems. Homeowners who take this approach often find they spend less overall—not because they avoid repairs, but because they handle them at the right moment. Peace of Mind Comes From Knowing What’s Normal When you check your home consistently, you start to recognize what’s normal and what’s new. That awareness makes it easier to spot issues early and take action without panic. Instead of wondering whether something has “always been like that,” you can make informed decisions with confidence. Where Professional Help Makes the Biggest Difference Professional technicians understand how issues in one room can affect the rest of the home. A trained eye can spot early warning signs that aren’t obvious to homeowners. Puls technicians can inspect multiple areas efficiently and handle repairs across rooms and systems, making it easier to stay ahead of maintenance without juggling multiple service providers. Why Proactive Service Is Easier Than Reactive Repairs Emergency repairs often come with stress, scheduling pressure, and limited options. Proactive service allows homeowners to plan repairs around their schedule and avoid last-minute decisions. Calling a Puls tech early helps keep home maintenance predictable, manageable, and far less disruptive. Consistency Beats Perfection Home care isn’t about fixing everything at once or chasing an ideal standard. It’s about steady attention and timely action. A professional-first, room-by-room approach keeps your home running smoothly, protects its value, and helps you avoid costly surprises down the line.

Staying on top of home maintenance doesn’t have to feel like a constant project. Most homeowners don’t need more reminders—they need a simpler way to organize what already matters. That’s where a monthly home maintenance calendar comes in. Instead of reacting to issues or juggling long checklists, a calendar-based approach creates a steady rhythm that keeps your home running smoothly throughout the year. Why Monthly Planning Feels Easier Big seasonal lists tend to show up all at once and demand attention when life is already busy. Monthly planning spreads things out so nothing feels urgent or overwhelming. When you know exactly what to focus on each month, home care becomes more predictable—and much easier to fit into real life. How the Puls Home Maintenance Calendar Is Structured The Puls home maintenance calendar is designed to reduce mental load, not add to it. Each month focuses on just three types of tasks, keeping things clear and manageable: Quick Wins Seasonal Must-Dos Call in a Pro Tasks This structure ensures that important maintenance stays on track without turning home care into a full-time job. Quick Wins: Light Tasks That Keep Things on Track Quick wins are small, low-effort actions that help maintain comfort and performance around the home. They’re designed to be fast, easy to remember, and satisfying to complete. These tasks help homeowners feel like they’re staying ahead without committing large amounts of time or energy. Seasonal Must-Dos: Staying in Sync With the Year Every season brings small shifts in how a home is used. Seasonal must-dos help align your home with those changes in a calm, planned way. Because these tasks are anticipated in advance, they don’t come with urgency or stress. They simply support comfort, efficiency, and everyday use as the year progresses. Call in a Pro: Built-In Professional Support Some maintenance tasks are best handled by a professional—not because something is wrong, but because it’s easier and more reliable that way. Each month includes at least one Call in a Pro task, giving homeowners a clear moment to bring in expert help and keep things handled properly without guesswork. Puls technicians fit seamlessly into this system, handling professional tasks efficiently and helping homeowners stay consistent without juggling multiple providers. Why This System Reduces Stress With only three task types to think about, maintenance stays focused and manageable. There’s no pressure to do everything at once, and no feeling that something critical is being missed. Homeowners following a calendar-based approach often feel more confident simply because they know what’s coming next. Consistency Without Perfection This system doesn’t rely on doing everything perfectly. Missing a task one month doesn’t derail anything—the calendar simply brings your focus back the next month. That flexibility is what makes monthly maintenance sustainable and realistic over time. A Calmer, More Organized Way to Care for Your Home When maintenance is predictable and supported, it stops feeling like a chore. It becomes part of the background—quietly supporting comfort, safety, and daily life. A monthly home maintenance calendar turns home care into a steady rhythm, and with Puls technicians available for professional tasks, staying on top of your home feels simple, not stressful.

Even in mild climates, decks and fences are exposed to the elements every day. Sunlight fades color and weakens coatings, humidity causes wood to expand and contract, and soil movement shifts posts and support beams. Over time, this wear and tear leads to cracks, discoloration, and loose boards that can compromise safety and appearance.
