Cell phone tips and tricks

[angie_nrs]

I can't believe I'm the one posting this. LOL! I still have a dinosaur flip phone that I'm perfectely happy with. But hubby has an andriod so I thought it would be nice to have a thread about tips and tricks for cell phones so maybe I can learn a few things. Neither of us are very techy, so I doubt I will have a whole lot to add to the discussion. However, I found this video today to get the thread started.

A few privacy tips if you have one of those rare iPhones that are made in China.

Here is a tip when going to a RWE (Right Wing Extremist) "Republican" gathering leave your phone at home. It has recently come to my attention that every day average conservative folks are having some odd legal problems. Probably best not to have your phone in the same room as thiers.

They are very handy for navigation. Many different apps but I like Waze for having quick response times for road conditions with user inputs.

Super handy having a heads up and a detour ready when I65 has its daily grid lock.

I could wear out my keyboard on this subject. I’ll start with something very basic.
Find and use slow charger (5V and 1A output). That prevents the phone from rapid charging which can accelerate degradation. Rapid charging will step up the voltage to 9 or 12, and/or the current to 3A.
