In a previous post we gave you some tips on saving your cell phone’s battery life and received such a positive response, we decided to continue with a follow-up.
The demand and expectation to be available and connected at all times, is constantly increasing. However, few things are as frustrating as having to make an important call or send an e-mail and our phone suddenly dies on you.
A dead cell phone battery is inevitable, but you can take small measures to ensure that it does last a little bit longer.
1. Wi-fi, 3G and Bluetooth
If any of these functions are activated by default they will constantly try to connect to any available service or device in the area. If you do need to be connected all the time, disable them and connect when needed.
2. Back light
Do you really need a bright back light on your screen in the middle of the day? Your phone needs energy to generate the light and the brighter the screen, the more battery life you sacrifice. Rather set the light less bright.
3. Apps
Sure, it’s very cool having all the latest apps giving you all sorts of information. Just keep in mind that apps need a lot of power to run.Power you might need to make an important call.
4. GPS
Using your GPS for checking in on Twitter or other social networks may be handy, but it will make a huge dent in your battery life. And when your GPS fails and you get lost, how will you make that call?
5. Alerts
Are you one of those forgetful people who has to reminded of every appointment and task on your list every hour? Notifications on cell phones are very handy, but putting your phone on vibrate and receiving regular notifications take up a substantial amount of power.

In `n vorige skrywe het ons vir julle voorstelle gegee oor hoe om jou selfoon se battery langer te laat hou. Na aanleiding van die positiewe reaksie wat ons gekry het, het ons besluit om nog `n paar idees met julle te deel.
Die verwagting om altyd aanlyn en beskikbaar te wees word by die dag groter en groter. Min dinge is egter so frustrerend soos `n pap battery wanneer jy `n belangrike oproep moet maak of e-pos moet stuur.
`n Pap battery is onvermydellik, maar daar is klein maatreëls wat jy kan tref om daardie ekstra bietjie lewe uit jou foonbattery te kry.
1. Wi-fi, 3G en Bluetooth
Indien enige van bogenoemde funksies voortdurend geaktiveer is, sal jou foon deurlopend probeer om aan die beskikbare dienste in jou omgewng te verbind. As jy nie die hele tyd toegang hoef te hê tot hierdie dienste nie, sit dit eerder af en verbind daaraan soos nodig.
2. Agtergrondlig
Het jy regtig in die middel van die dag `n helder bron van lig agter op jou skerm nodig? Jou foon het krag nodig om hierdie lig te genereer en hoe helderder die lig vir jou skerm, hoe meer batterykrag offer jy op. Stel eerder die lig dowwer as jy wil krag spaar.
3. Toepassing
Goed, dis lekker om die nuutste toepassings te hê wat vir jou allerhande (soms onnodige) inligting kan gee. Hou net, jou foon het krag nodig om al tien toepassings te laat loop in die agtergrond. En dis krag wat jy dalk later nodig gaan hê as jy `n dringende oproep moet maak.
4. GPS
Om jou GPS te gebruik om op Twitter te wys waar presies jy tans is, mag handig wees, maar dit gaan ook jou batterykrag opsuig. En as jou batterykrag op is en jy verdwaal is jy ook sonder GPS!
5. Alarms en kennisgewings
Is jy geneig om afsprake en take te vergeet? En jou selfoon is so gestel dat dit jou op gereelde basis daaraan herinner? Kennisgewings en alarms op selfone is baie handig, maar as jy jou foon terselfdertyd op vibreer sit, ontneem dit jou van batterykrag.
