Some Things To Do & Some NOT To Do
A few years ago my cell Phone started acting up. I could barely finish sending a text and the battery would be drained over half way. The same thing happened with regular phone calls. I could only make or receive two or three calls and the phone would beep for low battery.
I had to plug the thing in, off and on about a hundred times a day just to be able to talk on it. I completely gave up trying to text after a couple of weeks. There was so much life stuff going on, I didn’t have time to take it to the shop to have it checked out.
Finally, I did take it to my service provider and explained the problem to the salesman. He gave the phone a good going over and found nothing wrong with the phone itself.
He did find my problem to be a bad battery. He said the battery is supposed to be flat and mine was puffed, probably from too much heat. I DOkeep the danged thing in my pocket all day long . . . just in case loved ones try to reach me during the day.
After several questions, the young man told me the following 3 things.
1.Don’t keep your cell phone plugged in charging all night long. It only takes an hour or two to charge.
2. Do Charge it “only” when it registers way down past half way full. Once it is fully charges, unplug it.
3. Don’t keep your cell phone in your pocket all day long. Your body heat will damage your battery.
So there you have it, some things to DO and NOT-to-DO with your cell phone.
Did you know about these DOs & DON’TS already? Have you ever had a problem with your cell phone battery? What did you do?
