consider this out of the seven point seven billion people on this planet five
billion use a cell phone and still so many of us don't know how we can make
our gadgets serve us as long as they're designed to is it okay to let the
battery run completely out should you ever power your phone down should you
take it out of your pocket before doing laundry well here are some cellphone
do's and don'ts one do turn off Bluetooth when you aren't using it this
way you'll block unnecessary and potentially harmful downloads coming
your way and no intruder will manage to read the data you store in your phone to
don't expose your smartphone to the elements not only rain snow or any kind
of moisture and yeah take it out of your pocket before doing laundry now cold and
heat are just as bad gadgets start wigging out when the temperature drops
below minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit heat is even worse if your device has been
lying in the Sun or somewhere where the temperature is 113 degrees or higher who
it might refuse to work properly even worse this damage could be permanent
three do encrypt all sensitive and personal information you have on your
phone not all devices come with this feature but if yours does use it if your
phone gets stolen or lost nobody will be able to access personal data stored on
your gadget for don't use cheap or non original
chargers even if it doesn't do anything bad to your device the charging won't be
stable and fast plus to produce cheap charger cables they take a small gauge
wire that breaks much more easily than the manufacturer approved ones five do
clean your phone's charging port and the charging cable regularly during usage
loads of grime and dust gathers on the charging pins which results in slow
charging and a poorer connection if used carefully a wooden toothpick will
effectively remove dirt from the charging port and to clean the cables
pins you can use a damp not soaked q-tip 6 don't ignore a malware threat it's a
common misconception that viruses are only dangers for desktops and laptops
but smartphone malware can steal your personal data and even track your
location how rude it's better to avoid installing any suspicious apps they're
likely to stuff your phone full of viruses 7 do avoid dropping your smart
phone even if it's in a protective case you might not see a dented corner or
cracks on the screen but you never know what the fall has done to the phone's
inside if you're a serial phone driver any problems you're having with your
device could be because of this 8 don't use a spray bottle to spritz your phone
directly while cleaning it most smart phones aren't waterproof if just a
couple of tiny water droplets get inside the device could be doomed and even if
it doesn't shut down completely some open parts like the microphone are bound
to stop functioning sure plenty of phone cleaning kits include a spray bottle but
you're supposed to use it to spritz a microfiber lint-free cloth not your
gadget directly ix do charge your smartphone before its
battery drains completely it's not a problem if you see a zero charge on the
screen once or twice but if it happens regularly your device is at risk of
serving you for a far shorter time than it could every phone has a certain
number of charge cycles that's when you charge the gadget to 100% and then run
it down to zero if you let the battery run empty every day it'll last for no
more than 400 to 500 days 10 don't install a battery optimizer they only
remove apps that are running in the background and clear your phone's cache
which is part of the devices memory that stores frequently used information but
you can easily do both of these things on your own and by using a battery
optimizer app you're likely to see intrusive ads on your screen non-stop
wow I just deleted mine you also finding yourself guilty of these common phone
no-goes feel free to fess up down at the comments and there's more to come number
11 do keep your homescreen as tidy as possible
I won't argue that live wallpaper sounds like fun and who wouldn't want all their
apps just to click away but if your homescreen is cluttered your phone
struggles to load all this stuff in one place it puts unnecessary stress on the
devices hardware which in turn slows it down and affects its performance 12
don't cram the memory it won't do anything serious to your phone but it's
still better to use an SD card or cloud storage for some apps and all those
photos fill to the brim with data your smartphone will keep you constantly
frustrated with a lack of free memory space 13 do update the software if your
phone suggests it it'll only make your device work better by getting rid of any
bugs just never download software from sources you aren't sure about if your
intuition doesn't let you down and the source is shady this can make your phone
shut down or malfunction or worst case scenario someone can get hold of your
personal data 14 don't keep your phone in your pants
pocket you might forget to put it there sit down and crush it or throw it in the
laundry that and your body heat will make your battery run out faster than if
you put the thing in your bag remember heats no good 15 do turn your
phone off at least once a week after you do it let the device rest for several
minutes it needs a vacation too and then switch
it back on again it helps your phone work faster and more
smoothly prolongs the battery life empties all the unnecessary stuff from
the memory and prevents unexpected crashes usually when you close an app it
doesn't really get closed it remains in an in-between state so that the next
time you need it you can restart it faster this is eating your phone's
memory and battery and you can only solve this problem by restarting your
device 16 don't turn your phone off if its battery is almost empty and you're
planning on powering it back up and a half an hour instead of conserving some
energy you'll run the battery down completely the whole process of turning
the device on and off uses way more power than just switching on airplane
mode if you're only going to use your phone after a couple of hours or so then
do shut it off it's still the simplest way to conserve battery 17 don't forget
to clear your phone's cache I bet you have some apps that are too important to
delete yet you still don't need them every day you can remove these apps
cache data in the settings this way they won't need as much space when you aren't
using them and your smart phone will work faster after such a clean up 18 do
plug your phone in carefully it's all too easy to blindly jam the
charging cable into the port when you head to bed but every tiny scratch cut
your phone lifespan down because all those electrical contacts are much more
sensitive and delicate than you can imagine
19 don't replace your phone's original battery with a cheap alternative and if
you take your device to a service center to have the battery replaced always
check what they put in during the repair if the new battery
is an original it can not only fail to work but also shortened your phone's
line 20 do use a screen protector even if it looks like a useless piece of
fragile glass or plastic such a protector can keep your phone safe after
all it's an additional layer of defense which will make a world of difference
should your device fall in a hard floor or pavement and that's all the phony
device advice I have for you today hey if you learned something new today then

bright side of life
