Nowadays one can hardly imagine life without a cell phone. And it happens quite often that our gadgets start to act up just half a year after we bought them. It is frustrating, but in most cases, we ourselves are to blame! Let’s face it — we don’t always handle our devices properly.

SUMMARY
- To increase your gadget’s battery life, you should recharge it more often. The best option is to do it each time the battery power indicator drops to 10-20%. This will increase the number of discharge cycles up to 1000-1100 cycles.
- An inbuilt controller stops the battery from taking more current than necessary, so there is absolutely no risk of overcharging the battery and destroying it.
- There have been situations when a person was using a non-native charger, and it caused a fire in the house! And another terrible thing that can happen if you use non-native chargers and cables is getting an electric shock.
- We recommend you to avoid using chargers that claim to charge your battery fully in less than an hour.
- If your smartphone has a bulky protective case, it might cause the device and its battery to overheat during a lengthy recharging session.
- It is recommended to discharge your phone’s battery every three months to 0% and then immediately charge it to 100% to get rid of the extremes of full charge/discharge.
- A high temperature is the worst thing you can imagine for lithium-ion batteries: they totally can’t stand overheating.
- Carry the phone in an inner pocket of your coat or an outer pocket but encased in a protective covering. Low temperatures are harmful to the battery because it needs more power to keep itself warm enough to function.
- Try to lower the brightness of your screen at least by 30-40%.
- At the approach of a thunderstorm, never charge your phone. Actually, the same goes for all the electrical appliances you have.
- To wipe the screen, use lint-free wipers and whatever you do, never use window cleaning liquids. They contain ammonia which can damage the screen irrevocably.
- If you drop your cell phone into a pool or a sink, the first thing you should do after you get it out is turn it off and remove the battery (if it’s possible, of course).
- Don’t put your cell phone on the dashboard when driving. Constant moving and bumping can cause a lot of damage.
- Read user reviews before you hit the update button. The problem with such updates is that it’s either very hard or impossible to go back to the previous version of the software.
- Even if you have a lot of free space on your hard drive, it’s better to use cloud storage anyway. This way your phone won’t be clogged with too much data so that it will perform much better.

Never thought owning a phone is that difficult...

him: “Let’s face it, when was the last time you read the manual?” Me: “There was a manual?” 👁👄👁

4:00 "avoid cold temperatures" says that's Wright when I start putting my phone in the fridge
-
1. Charge you phone when it reaches 10-20 percent. 2. Keep your phone charged between 40-80 percent. ???
-
So basically just dont own a phone. Everything kills your battery. Gotcha
-
I set my alarm clock for 3:00 AM every night so i can unplug my phone and avoid overcharging. I then call all my friends and relatives too at that time to remind them.
-
Thank you ~ it's true ~ I had forgotten all these tips and I'm so grateful for these reminders. Wonderful video!

Mistake number 1: throwing your phone against a wall.
-
My phone's camera stopped working after its most recent software update, so I'm definitely reading reviews before updating from now on. My third party keyboard which was superior also stopped working. I was due for a new phone anyway, so I'm upgrading at last!
-
If you don’t update when update is available, the phone starts acting goofy so you don’t have a choice.
-
I like the background music which is a musical chant of "Do it right".
-
Thanks for the info - for future reference I've found out that clearing data/force stopping and uninstalling then RESTARTING fixes loads of problems - when my SWYPE got drastically slow I did the aforementioned with my phone - WORKED LIKE MAGIC~!!!!
