Six smartphones battery myths,busted!

Things that are false about charging your phone,REVEALED!


Without compact rechargeable batteries,our mobile gadgets simply wouldn't exist.But if we're honest,our batteries really aren't that good.Most smartphones,tablets and laptops can barely last through a whole day of use,if that.
In the meantime,there plenty of advice floating around on how to keep your battery healthy.Unfortunately,its also means there are plenty of myths that people believe,either through misunderstanding or just old information.In fact you will probably believe one of the following myths.I'm going to bust out six of those battery myths. 

MYTH #1: CHARGING YOUR PHONE OVERNIGHT IS BAD
"Overcharging" is the word that gets thrown a lot with this one.Cell phones theses days are awfully smart(they don't call them 'smartphones' for nothing). That means that the phone knows when its battery is at full charge when it reaches that point,it stops charging. But if you want it to be at its best the longest,"never run a battery to zero". To get your smartphone battery to last longest,charge it to 80% and recharge it when it hits 20% to avoid stressing the system ,the rule of thumb states.Its like snacking,eating smaller portions several times a day is better than starving and over stuffing.
MYTH #2: Never use your phone while its charging
This is a fear uncertainty and doubt kind of myth that stays alive  not because of any sort of actual evidence.Some people say that using your phone while its charging can make your device explode,catch fire or electrocute you,there is no real danger.
No one like being electrocuted and with that in mind,some have suggested that its unsafe to use a phone if its plugged into the wall.Playing with your phone while it's plugged is totally safe,just so as long you don't use a knock off charger or cheap USB charger.


 MYTH #3:You should let your phone's battery fall to 0% before charging.
Complete draining your battery will.make your phone unstable so don't do it.
Draining your phone all the way isn't required to maintain battery life.

So feel free to charge your battery whenever you see  its fit,even in fits and starts.
MYTH #4: Disabling services like bluetooth and location services drastically improves battery life.

 One of the rumors still sticking around because it used to be good advice.WIFI and Bluetooth used to latch on to your smartphones battery life like a vampire bat,but today they're nowhere near so bloodthirsty.
Its true that disabling all these or going into airplane mode will save some better life.

However,we are talking a very tiny silver like half an hour over the span of an entire day,so the gains are arguably not with the trouble.Leave the services that you use on the regular running all you want.Your device is designed to handle it.

 MYTH #5: You shouldn't use charger of a different brand.
These chargers, while its not optimal,should be avoided.Oh!this one has its roots in what is essentially marketing.
When you get your shiny new phone,odds are pretty good that the manual will tell you to always buy chargers from the dealers company.Of cos they want you to buy their accessories.Duh!its not for the health of your phone,its for profit.Any reputable third party charger should be just fine.There are some exceptions,especially in the case of USB-c cables and some unofficial chargers might not allow for as fast of charging but on most cases a quality third party charger should be just fine with your device.

 MYTH #6: Always fully charge a new phone before using it.
Your new phone should be able to use right straight from the purchase box,since most phones are shipped at half capacity
.Many people think that the first thing they should do with a new smartphone is plug it in and charge it to 100%. This is simply a myth.Remember,smartphone batteries work best between 40% to 80% and since most phones ship at half capacity,you should be good to go out of the box.
These are my favorite myths and they are the ones i passed around in forums all the time even by very tech-savvy people.

 Which of these myths have you fallen victim to?Let me know in the comment box below!

9 SIGNS YOU'RE ACTUALLY A GENIUS! Since childhood, many of us have questioned our level of intelligence. I mean, at least I have. And I'm sure I'm not alone. 1. You’re the oldest child Apparently, those who are born first tend to get ahead in life, because they have their parents’ full attention for the first few months or years or their lives.If and when baby number two finally arrives, the older sibling is then put in the position of “teaching” their little brother or sister.This helps kids to recall, structure and simplify their own knowledge – which is thought to boost intelligence.A study of 250,000 Norwegian 18 and 19-year-olds found that first-born children had an average IQ 2.3 points higher than their younger siblings. 2. You’re skinny.  The skinnier participants could remember 56 percent of words in a vocabulary test, while bigger people could only remember 44 percent.According to a French study, those with a Body Mass Index of 20 or less have be

5 WAYS YOUR PHONE IS HARMING YOUR HEALTH! Are phones a healthy and obesity risk? Too much sedentary mobile phone use leads to weight gain and ill health…….Those who sit and research the effects of sitting believe that text messaging, emailing and playing video games are as much to blame as television of the decline in good health. #1. Wipe your cell phone. Considering cell phones carry more bacteria than a toilet, be conscious of constantly wiping your cell phone down with anti bacterial wipes and washing your hands after using your phone . Besides spreading sickness,the bacteria on your phone can cause major acne breakouts. #2. The lack of sleep is responsible for gaining weight. Because your cell can cause you to lose out on sleep, its also been linked to packaging on the extra pounds. You ‘re awake later, you get hungry and your body can’t metabolize properly so the weight just sticks to you through the night.Put down the phone and you will take off the weight.

Things you're doing wrong and you don't know! #1: Cutting watermelon If you are slicing it,you are a fool😊😊,cut it cross as demonstrated. #2: Sleeping Twisting up like a pretzel might be your usuall habit.But you're ruining your back!For maximum rest and support,try this pro sleep moves. #3: Eating an apple. The average person discards 30% of an apple.If you want to do that ,bite into its side.If you don't want to be that wasteful,reduce the amount you discard by eating it top to bottom for maximum.Blessed apple consumption. #4: Squats:  Don't just bend your knees and stand back up again. To squat like a fitness pro,do exactly this.Stand up straight with your feet slightly wider than shoulders width apart with your toes facing forward and your arms along your sides with palms facing in,keeping your chest up and knees behind your toes,bend your knees and lower your butt until your thighs are parallel to the ground. #5: Squeezing the last bit of
