Solución de problemas

  • Conexión magnética débil: Ensure your phone is MagSafe-enabled or uses a certified MagSafe-compatible case. Third-party magnetic cases may weaken the connection.
  • Inconsistent Shutter Button Response: Verify that the SnapGrip is properly paired via Bluetooth to your smartphone. Recharge the SnapGrip if the battery is low.
  • El teléfono no se carga de forma inalámbrica:
    1. Ensure the SnapGrip Essential is sufficiently charged and powered on.
    2. Press the small button on the side of the grip to activate wireless charging.
    3. Confirme que su teléfono admite la carga inalámbrica.
    4. Some phone models, such as certain Pixel series phones (e.g., Pixel 10 Pro), may use newer Qi2 charging standards which might not be fully compatible with the SnapGrip's Qi1 charger element, potentially leading to reduced charging efficiency or heat generation.
  • Phone Overheating During Charging: If your phone becomes excessively hot during wireless charging, discontinue use and consult your phone's manufacturer. This can sometimes occur due to compatibility differences in wireless charging standards.
  • Unintended Phone Actions: If your phone exhibits unusual behavior (e.g., gestures as if buttons are pressed) when the SnapGrip is attached but not in camera mode, ensure the SnapGrip's Bluetooth connection is stable or temporarily disconnect it if not actively using the shutter.
