There are a lot of different cell phones out there. Each model has some tips and tricks to make them very useful. In this article, I have compiled a list of tricks and strategies that will make your phone last longer and also help you understand how you can make the best out of your mobile.

Ø  In the event you drop your phone in water or some liquid, don't quickly assume that it's ruined beyond repair and throw it away. All you will need to do is to remove the battery from the device and place your cellphone into a bowl with dry rice or on warm slices of bread. These will absorb some moisture from the device and in no time, you will be using your device in no time. NB: Do not dry your phone with direct sun heat

Ø  Don't always rush to update to the latest phone on the block. Sometimes it is not worth it. Many manufactures make a lot of consistent changes but usually they are not major changes. Go for some in-depth mobile reviews from many cell phone review blogs and sites before deciding to buy a new one. Often, an upgrade will not be necessary.

Ø  Be aware that smartphones actually slowdown in performance over time. Downloading updates is very important. The problem with this is that new phones come out that are a lot more faster and great processing power. Therefore, at times it will be eventually necessary to upgrade.

Ø  It is likely that your smartphone is on for most of your waking hours. Make sure to switch it off some of the times. Mobile cell phones, like computers, require a restart or reboot to function flawlessly. When we restart it or switch it off, we free up some memory and this helps to keep the device running smoothly. Try to do a couple of resets a week and that should help boost performance.

Ø  When purchasing a new smartphone, you should decide carefully when considering extended warranty. These are usually just unnecessary additional costs with no much added value. Odds are good that in the case your smartphone will die then it is going to happen whilst the original manufacturer’s warranty is still covering. Also, most people these days upgrade to new cellphones every year, meaning that an extended warranty will be much more worthless.

Ø  Cell phones tend get slower with age. Mostly because as we update our softwares and applications will more and more memory will be consumed and they also take more space as we use them. This means that updates will then become a bit difficult. Usually when this happens, it most advisable that you update to a more advanced cellphone because clearly the current one cannot contain all the apps you need. You will then need to choose whether to keep it as it is or go for the upgrade.

Ø  If your smartphone is not water resistant, avoid going near water with your phone. Accidents and mistakes do happen no matter how alert you are, people drop their phones in water most of the time, which can ruin them. Don’t take it to a swimming pool or near the sink or in the bathroom. Do not put your smartphone on dusty surfaces or putting it out in the open in dusty winds, I would suggest you should get your phone an affordable. For less than $10 you can yourself a cute pouch.

Ø  Before buying a smartphone, you should first consider how you intend to use it. A lot of people have got smartphones, mostly because they use for sending emails, online browsing, some for gaming, for their high quality cameras etc. If you only want to use your phone for making voice calls and sms texting only, then I think buying a smartphone will a bad idea, it will be pricey and it requires costlier monthly plans, which is not an option for folks who just wanna talk.

Ø  You should recharge your phone battery before it completely runs out. Batteries were not designed for that, continuous charge of a dried up battery will lower the capacity of the battery to hold power for long periods. Try always to charge your phone battery whilst it still has got power.

I hope you will take advantage of these free tips on how to keep your smartphone and how to make the best of your cell phones. When shopping for a new cell phone, don't be overwhelmed by the numbers out there, go for deep review of the devices.
