Making Your Mobile Phone’s Battery Last Longer
Some bad practices have caused your mobile phone’s battery to lose its efficiency without you even knowing it. Understanding the bad practices and avoiding them will definitely make your battery’s life last longer. One of the most common practices that we have seen is leaving the phone charged for a long time. Even when it was already fully charged, users forget or neglect unplugging it off the power plug, significantly damaging its batteries.
Cleaning the prongs or otherwise called “battery contacts” is a good idea to keep your battery in top condition. Using an eraser or some cotton with alcohol to clean debris in the contacts is a good practice as it helps your battery charge and discharge without any obstructions. While taking care of the batteries is a good thing, taking extra care of the actual mobile phone its self is better.
Mobile phone insurance covers virtually any mobile phone bought within the UK and insures it from accidental damages, water damages, theft, loss and even fraudulent calls. For as little as £2.49 a month comprehensive insurance will cover your phone from these mishaps, but it does not include the batteries. It will only insure the actual phone so it’s wise to take care of your batteries to make it last longer while leaving the other concerns to in depth phone insurance.
The Nice Trick With Rice For Your Wet Mobile Phone
When you only think about rice when in the mood for exotic Asian cooking, then you should add this new idea to your list. When you get your mobile phone wet, one of the best home remedies you can find to dry it effectively is raw rice. It’s because rice has very good absorbing properties so it can very well absorb the moisture from your wet mobile phone.
Speed plays a crucial factor in being able to save your mobile phone. The moment it is dropped in water, take out the batteries and dry it as much as you can with a damp cloth. Save your SIM card as this contains important contact information and just submerge your phone inside the rice and let it in there overnight.
There is a good chance you can still save your mobile phone, but if the damage is too severe then the next thing you should do is to ask for a claim. That’s why it’s very important to get comprehensive mobile phone insurance for your cell phone within the first few months of purchase. For as little as £2.49 a month, you can already cover your mobile phone from accidental damages, including water damages as well. For small water accidents, you can rely on rice; but for major water damage that should need repair or replacement, its sure valuable to know you got mobile insurance for your phone.
