7 Habits That Will Increase The Longevity of Your Smartphone’s Battery

All batteries have an expiry date. Same is true for smartphones’ batteries. However, the way you use your smartphone also goes a long way in deciding the longevity of your device’s battery. As such, there are few phone charging habits you can implement in your daily life that can increase the lifespan of your battery. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares tips on how to charge your smartphone and make its battery last longer.

Fast chargers are not always the best option

Using a fast charger might not be the best thing for your battery’s health. This process involves a higher voltage to be sent to the phone’s battery, which results in a rapid rise in temperature. Your phone may even explode as a result of this.

Charge your phone with its own charger

Always charge your phone with its own charger. Unlike laptops, smartphones use a universal charging interface. However, if the charger you use does not match the original, it will affect battery performance.

Remove protective case while charging

You might have noticed while your phone is charging, it becomes slightly warm. So, make sure to remove the phone’s protective case while charging. This can act as a barrier and slow down the heat.

Don’t use cheap chargers from unknown manufacturer

Avoid cheap chargers from unknown manufacturers. They do not include any safety advice to protect against overcharging. Know that adapter failure could permanently damage both your battery and phone.

Never leave your phone to charge overnight

There are many people who leave their phone plugged in overnight for charging. You just need to stop this habit. Charging overnight affects battery longevity, and it also makes your smartphone overheat.

Always charge up to 80 per cent

Eighty per cent charge is enough for a day, and it is good for your overall battery lifespan. Crossing the 80% mark can make your battery to overheat, thereby affecting the battery’s life.

Avoid charging the phone repeatedly

Smartphones should not be charged repeatedly. The rule of thumb should be not to charge until the phone’s battery is up to 20 percent.

4 Helpful Ways to Travel With a Wi-Fi Only iPad

Traveling with a Wi-Fi only iPad can be challenging, however there are a few ways to make the best of the circumstance and make it a bit easier. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 4 helpful ways to travel with a Wi-Fi only iPad.

Get a Mobile Hotspot

If you have a Wi-Fi only iPad, it’s best to work on purchasing a mobile hotspot to go along with it so you can always have access to the internet as often as you need. When buying a mobile hotspot, be sure to get one with a wide coverage that is likely to work in all or most of the places you’ll be traveling to.

Download Offline Areas for Google Maps

If you’re traveling to an unfamiliar area and plan to use your Wi-Fi only iPad as a city guide, it’s best if you download the area you will need from Google Map so you can view it offline. This is done in case you are not able to get Wi-Fi access to browse Google Maps when you need to, or in the event that your mobile hotspot (if you have one) has a poor connection and disappoints.

Tethering

This is similar to having a mobile hotspot, but this turns your smartphone into a hotspot instead, by feeding on your cellular data. However, the downside to this is that, because the Internet connection is being shared with your smartphone, you’re likely to experience a slower connection overall. Your cellular data is also likely to be exhausted much sooner because of the shared connection.

Turn Off Your Wi-Fi When Not in Use

Constantly searching for a Wi-Fi signal can drain the battery of your iPad much faster. If you intend to use the iPad later on, it is best to turn the Wi-Fi off when it’s not in use.

Unbelievable: See The Phone That Makes Calls Without Battery

A research project at Washington University is underway that could eventually drastically change the way we use our cellphones to make calls since the project’s prototype doesn’t actually require a battery to make calls.

The prototype is the brainchild of Joshua Smith, a researcher at the university’s lab for computer science and electrical engineering. Smith has spent years developing the prototype and, beyond the basics of making a phone call, Smith envisions a cell phone that can also continue sending text messages and taking selfies long after the juice in the battery has drained. The concept is that technology can be developed, and has already begun being developed, that can draw energy from the surrounding environment and wireless transmission signals – which Smith calls “backscatter.”

Backscatter is inspired by ideas used by Soviet Spies during the cold war, which Smith heard from his father – who was a spy at the time. The spies used bugs that were powered by specific radio frequencies which were also used to transmit data via a mirroring process.

By working out how to control and optimize the process using modern hardware and sofware solutions, Smith’s team was able to create a viable base station that could be incorparated into modern cell towers.

Although the team is focused on communicating through calls, for now, which are undeniably one of the most power hungry ways to communicate with a smartphone, they do hope to find a way to make the technology work for other things. An e-ink display, for example, could be used to keep text messages up and runnig in a low-energy way.

The first call ever using the technology developed by Smith has already been made. Unfortunately, for now, the sound quality is still very poor.

Moreover, it’s still analog. That means it works similarly to a two-way radio, where listening and talking can’t be simultaneous. The current form the phone leaves quite a lot to be desired as well.

You can check out its current form in the image above, but it’s really just a board with a keypad and LED lights to indicate when one of those keys is pressed.

Obviously, there is still a lot of work left to do, but the research lab has high hopes for future iterations.

Most dramatic changes to technology are very rudimentary when first developed. With any luck, the team at Washington University will work out the kinks and smartphones manufacturers will find a way to incorporate it.

That way, the most important communications people make every day with their devices may be able to continue without the need for battery packs or a wall socket
