Battery types
When choosing a battery there are three main types:
1) Replacement Batteries (Genuine / OEM) – OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer and is the battery that the manufacturer has specifically produced for your device. This is normally the best option in terms of quality, time between charges and overall battery lifetime, but these batteries can be a little more expensive, so it depends on your priorities.
2) Replacement Batteries (Non-OEM / Generic) – Another cheaper option is generic or non-OEM batteries which are often mass produced in order to reduce their price. They can also provide longer battery life by having a higher mAh (see information below), so these can be a good alternative to OEM batteries if you want to save money. The quality can vary however, so we recommend that you read the reviews before buying. Another problem with generics is that they may make your device run hot and they can also void your warranty if your phone develops a fault. In general we would always recommend you buy a Genuine/OEM battery if you can afford to do so.
3) External Batteries– These are ideal if you’re going to be away from mains power for a period of time, such as camping, festivals and so on. The idea is that you charge the external battery pack (from the mains) and then charge the phone off that. Often external batteries will only last for one or two full charges, however very large packs (with a high mAh rating) are available if you’re going to be away for a longer time.
Understanding mAh
Before you buy, you should also check the mAh rating. This stands for milliamps delivered per hour rating and essentially tells you how long the battery will last before it needs recharging. A high end phone with a large screen may have a battery above 2500 mAh, whereas a mid-range model (with a smaller screen and less bulk), may only use a 1800 mAh battery. As mentioned above, sometimes generic batteries can have a higher rating than the genuine battery. For example, if your phone comes with a 2200 mAh battery, you can buy a 2400 mAh generic battery which should mean it will last longer between charges. As above, be careful with generics however.
Sometimes you will want to prevent your device fro, displaying or indexing folders on your Phone storage or USB storage.
To do this, simply rename the folder and place a . (full top / period) before the file or folder name.
This can be done through the Files App or by plugging your device in to your computer and renaming it there.?
If you don’t like the default A-Z way of viewing your contacts you can change this.
First, go to your Contacts App and press the Menu key or More at the top of the screen. Then select Settings.
Then choose Sort by.
To quickly close Apps, press the Multitasking key
This will display your currently running Apps. From here you can simply swipe the Apps off the screen by dragging your finger Bottom to top. This is a very quick way to free up some memory.
Depending on how your device is setup, sometimes when Apps are installed, a shortcut icon is automatically placed on your homescreens.
This can be annoying for users who want to keep their homescreens clutter-free.
To stop this, Long press on the Home screen. Then choose Home Settings from the popup options and untick Add icon to Home Screen.
If you have decided to ditch your iPhone in favour of Android, then there is a simple way to take your iTunes music, playlists and album art with you.
Simply go the Android Marketplace and download a Free App called Easy Phone Tunes. You will also need the computer version of the software, so go to http://easyphonetunes.com and download it from there. ?
Then, when that is done, turn your phone into a USB storage device (this will vary from device to device, but instructions are on the website).
Once your device is connected to your computer, open the computer version of the software and select your device from the Easy Phone Tunes list. Then follow the instructions to Sync your media.
To soft reset your phone press and hold the Power/Lock button for around 8 to 10 seconds. The phone will restart automatically.
If that doesn’t work, then remove the battery (if it has one). Wait 30 seconds and put the
battery back in. Then press the Power/Lock button to turn the phone on.
Some devices also provide reboot option on pressing Power Button.
If you want to install Apps outside of the Play Store (called sideloading), then go to Settings – Apps & Notification – Special App Access and select ?Install Unknown Apps.
This setting will allow you to download Apps onto your device that would normally be blocked in the Play store.
Note: use at your own risk.?
