How to Get your phone to live longer

Mobile phones delicate and need to be cared for like any other electronic.In this article i will discuss about caring your cell phone to live longer.

Use a Case:

One way to protect your phone from scratches is to use a case.

Don't drop it:

Take utmost care not to drop or slam down your phone.

Extreme heat:

Do not expose your phone to extreme temperature changes. This includes leaving it in your car in hot or cold weather.

Avoid moisture:

Keep your phone away from all water and liquids. Most phone manufacturers have a mark on the inside of the phone behind the battery that will change color if exposed even slightly to dampness. If this happens, your phone's warranty is essentially null and void.

How to Clean:

Never use a spray bottle to clean your mobile phone. Instead, dab a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and lightly rub over the keypad. Do not use alcohol near the phone's charging port or its interior.

Mouths off!:

Do not let your pets and kids put our handset into their mouths. Saliva should be treated like any other liquid and kept away from your phone. That includes drooling, licking, and spitting.

Exercise caution:

Do not strap your mobile phone against your skin while working out. The perspiration could be enough to damage your phone.

Steer clear of rain:

Protect your phone in downpours. While your cant't always help getting stuck in the rain, take precautions to cover your phone as best as you can.

Don't bag it

Beware of tossing your phone into a bag or purse that contains cosmetics, perfume, lotions, or oils that can leak.

If it does get wet:

If your mobile phone does get wet, try Heloise's tip that may salvage it: handsets rescued from washing machines and toilet bowls can sometimes be saved, but you must act fast. Pull the battery out, then dry the inside of the phone with a hair dryer. You'll probably need to purchase a new battery, but put it back in to test the phone - it just might work. If it doesn't, take the phone to a service center as soon as possible.

Don't drain the batter

Do not leave your phone on its charger for more than a couple hours at home or one hour on a car's charger while turning the ignition could short-circuit the batter.

Security features:

Many wireless phones have built-in security features, so review your phone's manual and user guide. Often you can password-protect private information, such as your phone's address book, and restrict outgoing calls
