consider this out of the seven point seven billion people on this planet five

Adverbs of degree

billion use a cell phone and still so many of us don't know how we can make

Sentences with advanced comparative

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
