handling our phones with care is a good thing, but if we can switch our phones with our bible once in a while, I think things will play out differently for us in 2018

Opinionated:
Smartphones keep us connected, informed and much more. For many of us, they have become more than a simple tech tool, so we should probably take better care of them than we do. Instead of treating them as if they are toys that can be replaced, we should handle them as if our lives and jobs depend on them. Nonetheless, there are certain things we unintentionally or unknowingly do to our smartphones. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, discusses them.

Neglecting malware

Malware doesn’t only infect desktop computers. It could do even worse damage to your smartphone. This is because smartphone malware can track your location and steal highly sensitive data as well. It is essential that you take caution when installing apps on your smartphone.

Packing it full

Unless you use an Android phone that accommodates SD card, you can quickly fill up your devices until they won’t work. Without enough storage space, the device may either become sluggish or won’t function. Monitor the space on your device and if possible, use SD cards.

Always leaving it on


Smartphones don’t rest because they are always on even at night. In fact, in many cases, these devices work more than our desktops and laptops. So, make it a habit to reboot it, turn it off at night or shut it down for 30 minutes.

Exposing it to heat and cold


Exposing your device to heat and cold weather conditions can be damaging. Therefore, you should be very conscious where you leave your smartphone.

Keeping your smartphone in your pocket

You don’t want to keep your phone in the back pocket of your trousers or jeans. This might damage or break the device. With your body pressure, the phone might bend or break into two while you’re sitting. If you have to keep your phone in your pocket, it should be the hind pocket.

Rooting improperly

One of the ways to take control of your device is to root it. Rooting is a bit complicated and should be done by a professional. However, if you decide to do it yourself, there is a high chance of incomplete rooting which may cause your phone to malfunction.

Nice Share!

Meanwhile, how do I root a WINDOWS OR MICROSOFT PHONE? I understand that it is near impossible to root a windows or microsoft phone and that it is only ANDROID PHONE that can easily be rooted.

what do you think or what is your opinion about this?

Point 5: You said it's best to kept it in the hind pocket. Errrrm...hind means the same thing as back. It should be keep it in the front pocket.

Thanks for this information. Your no 3 just worked magic for me after going through your thread. My phone was malfunctioning to the point where I have not been receiving messages for some time now. Chatting on facebook was hectic and hell to the point I almost thought of deleting my facebook account with the thought that facebook is having too much of network problems. But after reading your post, tried the no 3, facebook chatting is as fast as an airplane now.
Thanks so well for the info.
