Make Your Cell Phone Battery Last Longer
If your battery won’t hold a charge very well or you don’t always have
access to a charger, there are a few things you can do to stretch your battery’s
charge time. When you’re not using your phone, turn it off, unless you are
expecting an important call. If you are in an area without service, turn your
phone off so it isn’t searching for signals. If you want to leave your phone on,
you can also change a few settings on the phone to save battery. Turn your
phone’s vibrate feature off and use a basic ringtone on low volume. Also, turn
your backlight off, as it will take up excessive battery power. Features like
Bluetooth, Internet, cameras, etc. will drain the battery you have left, so try
to use these features only when you absolutely need them.
Be Good To Your Hearing
The next time you take a flight and want to listen to some tunes, consider
using a noise-canceling pair of headphones. Plane cabins are noisy, and in order
to compensate, you’re likely to turn up your audio to levels that can be harmful
to your hearing. Because a noise-canceling pair of headphones will drone out
ambient noise, you’ll be able to enjoy your songs at a comfortable hearing
level.
