Learn how to get the most out of your smartphone with the apps, tips, and tricks recommended by our newest Energy Colabora member: FanGadgetES
That day arrives. You buy a new phone, and eagerly open the box and start setting it up. Wait! If you don't want to fill it with apps and other things you never use, and you want it to last as long as possible, stay a while reading, we assure you, it's for your own good.
First, before you start installing apps like there's no tomorrow, review what you actually use on your old smartphone and what you don't. Maybe you've downloaded an app just to try it out, but you don't even remember what it's for. So try to download and install only what's truly useful in your daily life. You'll avoid filling up your memory and having hundreds of apps on your desktop, like a collector with Diogenes.
Photos, and more photos, videos, GIFs. From port and starboard, via WhatsApp and Telegram . Your phone is full of image chains, silly videos, and other antics that come to you from the "Family" group on WhatsApp, whether you want them or not. Maybe it's better to start from scratch. You probably don't need to keep all that spam on your new phone, even if they tell you it has plenty of memory, and it's better to save it all on your PC or a flash drive, and thus not give in to the temptation of turning your phone into a comedy museum again.
Okay, you've got WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter , and Instagram ready for action, and your phone is running as fast as a bullet. Do you want to customize it without sacrificing performance or transforming the beauty of simplicity into absolute chaos? Perhaps Nova Launcher is the best option, as it offers endless possibilities, so your brand-new acquisition will look like no other. You can change the icon design, the transitions, and make it your own. Sometimes, and we're talking about phones that have been around for a while, it even seems like after installing this launcher, your phone has a second lease on life!
Let's get to a hot topic . The battery. Should I charge it overnight? Is the first charge necessary for 24 hours? Is it good to use it until it turns off before recharging it? Is there life outside our planet? Well, let's see, many people leave it charging overnight while they sleep, and that's not a bad thing. It's a convenient way to have your phone fully charged and ready the next day, without worrying about running out of battery and going through life like a lost soul.
As for the first charge , like the following ones, they don't need to last longer than the phone tells you to, which, to give an average, is about 2 hours, some less (those with a fast charging system), and others a little longer. What is recommended is not to let it turn off or drain the battery. We already know that extremes are bad, and in this case, it's the same. Both 0% and 100% are values that could stress your battery and thus harm its lifespan. Ideally, it should be between 20 and 80%, although unfortunately this won't always be possible. So to do it as correctly as possible, try to charge it when it's between 10/15/20%, and don't let it drop below that, and charge it as much as you need. This will prevent your battery from losing effectiveness and help it last longer.
Perfect, I've got everything pretty clear, but what do I do if I want to extend my smartphone's battery life? Well, some basic tips would be to disable location tracking, which tends to consume a lot of power; try reducing the number of apps running in the background, which can consume both data and battery; also reduce the frequency of your phone's syncing with email and other apps; and disable features like Always On Display (if your device has it); avoid automatic updates (only do so when it suits you); and use Wi-Fi whenever possible.
With these simple tips, you'll be able to extend the life of your phone, prevent it from slowing down over time or its battery from losing efficiency, and save yourself a few euros, which never hurts. See you next time!
