Mobile Devices

Got a new phone to set up, or an old one that’s driving you mad? We help Gold Coast, Northern NSW, Hinterland and South Brisbane locals get their mobiles and tablets working smoothly. Fixed-price options, friendly service, and same-day where possible.

Mobile phone & tablet help (iPhone, Samsung and more)

New device setup & data transfer (without the headaches)

We move your photos, contacts, messages and apps from the old device, sign you into iCloud/Google, and set up email, calendars and backups. If you use banking or authenticator apps, we’ll handle those carefully so nothing locks you out.

 

GC Tech tip: before you start, update both devices and charge them above 50%. This makes transfers faster and more reliable.

Make your current phone feel new again

A slow phone is usually storage, updates, or background apps. We clear the clutter, update iOS/Android, trim auto-starting apps and fix widgets that chew battery.

 

GC Tech tip: remove big videos from Messages/WhatsApp and aim for 20% free space for best performance.

Battery and charging fixes

Random shutdowns or slow charging? We check the cable/charger, charging port (for lint), battery health, and power settings.

 

GC Tech tip: try a different charger, clean the port gently with a wooden toothpick, and turn off unnecessary background refresh.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & mobile data

Drops and stutters often come from weak signal or a confused connection. We reconnect you to the right Wi-Fi (5 GHz for speed, 2.4 GHz for reach), tidy Bluetooth pairings, and check your carrier/APN settings.

 

GC Tech tip: “forget” the Wi-Fi network and re-add it; for Bluetooth, delete old devices and re-pair.

Photos & backups you can trust

Losing photos is the worst. We switch on iCloud Photos or Google Photos, make sure it backs up on Wi-Fi, and test a restore so you know it actually works.

 

GC Tech tip: after enabling backup, pick one photo and restore it to prove you’re covered.

Email, apps & notifications

We set up Outlook/Gmail, fix sync issues, and tune notifications so the important stuff comes through and the junk stays quiet.

 

GC Tech tip: if email stops syncing, remove the account and add it again; it fixes more than you’d think.

Safety & privacy made simple

Stay safer with two-step login, “Find My” / “Find My Device”, and a quick permissions check so apps only see what they need.

 

GC Tech tip: on iPhone, turn on Silence Unknown Callers; on Android, try Call Screening and mark spam texts as junk so your phone learns.

Family setup (Screen Time & Family Link)

We help parents set sensible limits without the tears. We can help setup downtime, app limits, content filters and location sharing that actually works.

 

GC Tech tip: agree on a simple rule first (e.g., no phones at the table) so Screen Time settings support a family decision, not start a fight.
