In modern society, the smartphone has become a necessity for the public. People have higher requirements for both sound quality pixel and exon of the phone, especially for women, who generally have higher standards for pixel sound quality. However, most taboo of smartphones is to be dropped or soaked in water. If the phone gets in the water, and you timely process it, which will not have much impact on the fuselage itself. However, the impact on the camera is relatively large. So, what to do if the phone gets in the water? How to deal with the smartphone that could not be turned on after dropped in water? Here are some Suggestions.

Steps to fix the issue that the smartphone dropped in water

• Step 1: Scoop the phone up
• Step 2: Remove the phone battery
• Step 3: Wiping off the water drops
• Step 4: Place the phone in an airtight container
• Step 5: Turn on the phone

Step 1: Scoop the smartphone up

First of all, when you accidentally find that your smartphone drops in water, you should immediately scoop it up. The longer the phone is soaked in water, the greater the damage will be, so it should be scooped up without any hesitation.

Step 2: Remove the smartphone battery

Once you’ve scooped up your phone, don’t turn it on, don’t push any buttons. If your phone battery is removable, you should carefully open up the back of the battery, and then remove the smartphone battery and SIM card(s). If your phone’s battery is non-removable, it should be sent to a repair shop for water treatment immediately.

Step 3: Wiping off the water drops

After the battery is removed, you can use the dry cloth to wipe it carefully. After wiping off the external water drops, you can proceed to the next operation. Please note that the hairdryer should not be used to dry the phone, otherwise, the high-temperature heat may cause devastating damage to the sensitive components inside the phone.

Step 4: Place the smartphone in an airtight container

Next, place the phone in an airtight container with raw rice. Because raw rice is good for absorbing liquids. It is better to keep it in an airtight container for a couple of days, or 1 to 2 months. In general, if conditions are available, put in a drying agent for better results.

Step 5: Turn on the smartphone

After a couple of days or a month, you can take out your phone from an airtight container with uncooked rice back, install the battery, and try turning it on. If the phone can be turned on successfully, it means the phone can be used normally. If the phone cannot be turned on, it is sad that we can only consider buying a new phone.

Note: Shut the phone off and remove the battery to dry after it drops in water so that the battery does not get wet and some parts inside the phone may be burned if the phone is turned on immediately. Also, if the phone is ready to be turned on, check the parts carefully to see if they work properly.

Learn why your phone slows down and how to fix it.

Many smartphone users believe they need to upgrade their smartphones every time the next model comes out. Over time, smartphones become sluggish and don’t perform as well as they did when they were fresh out of the box. A common misconception is that smartphone processing speeds slow down with age and older phones need to be replaced. However, you can get your old phone running like brand new by clearing the cache files regularly.

Cache files are created by apps and websites to help your smartphone improve load times and performance. They can be beneficial to sites and apps you use regularly as they build “shortcuts” by reusing some of the information from previous visits so that information doesn’t have to be recreated each time you use them.  

The downside is cached data takes up storage space on your device and can get corrupted over time. Additionally, cache data builds up from apps and sites you seldom use. The result is a delay or lag in your phone’s processing speed and makes your phone load slower in addition to taking up valuable storage space. In some cases, cache file buildup causes apps and webpages to freeze up or stop responding.

Luckily, there’s an easy solution to this annoying problem. Dfndr performance is a free phone cleaner app  with powerful tools that can help keep your phone’s speed and performance optimized. You may not realize that like your car, your smartphone needs regular maintenance and tune-ups to keep it running well. Dfndr performance was developed to improve all aspects of your Android’s operation and to ensure that it operates as well as the day you took it out of the box.  

The Quick Cleaner tool is designed specifically to help address the problem of slow smartphones by removing junk cache files. Here are the fine points:

• The Quick Cleaner feature is easily activated by a single tap.
• The tool automatically clears cache files and frees up valuable storage space and has a reminder feature to help you schedule regular cleanings so your phone remains clutter-free and running like new.
• There’s also an Advanced Cache Cleaner tool that gives your phone a more in-depth, thorough cleaning.

Huawei launched its new flagship line earlier this year, P20 and P20 Pro, as usual most customers care more about the design, camera performance, chip/system and other key features, especially the triple-lens P20 Pro draws astonishing attention. What about the battery part?

We know that Huawei sports a trimmed 3400mAh non-removable battery cell at P20, for P20 Pro it’s a whopping 4000mAh capacity included. Literally 3400mAh should be enough for intermediate daily usage – like news searching, work, play-not heavily playing, you can comfortably use the P20 all day and night without worrying that it’ll run out on you. 

To make a comparison, we decide to play videos and games to verify whether the battery life is as strong as the official says. Playing a full screen HD video on max brightness for 90 minutes, the P20 had lost 30% of its charge. The result of video watching is quite acceptable, especially for the World Cup season, even though the performance is not as great as Samsung Galaxy S9 and iPhone X. While game-playing is a big energy-draining monster, it only lasts about 3 hours to run a heavy game. If video watching and game playing is part of your daily life you’d better prepare a good power bank to keep it alive, of course most smartphones would not survive for a very long time , so don’t blame P20 for this point, it’s just in the average zone.

How to prolong the battery life of Huawei P20?

1.Try to reduce the screen resolution to 720p. In a 5.8 inches screen, there’s not a highlighted difference with 720p and 1080p resolution, lower the index would extend the battery life distinctly, especially when watching videos.

2.Automatic brightness should also save you a few percent. You can adjust the brightness on you own, but I still recommend you to put it on automatic since you don’t need to think much about it and change it  often.

3.Use Power-Saving Mode and Ultra Power-Saving Mode. Both make a real difference to power consumption – if you can live with the sacrifices.

4.Keep it cool. The phone is always getting hot when use it heavily, and high temperature is a serious killer of battery life. Take the case off and turn off the needless apps on the background before it becomes too hot.

All in all, Huawei P20 is not the best battery-performing phone, but for daily routine it’s absolutely competent. If you are looking for a phone with snappy design and high-end performance for a fair price, Huawei P20 is a good option for you. 

Your phone overheating is a real problem; an overheated phone can result in battery and system issues. Here’s how to cool down your phone.

If your phone is regularly overheating, you have a problem on your hands. A hot phone can damage your battery and hurt your system-on-a-chip, the delicate operating system that keeps your phone functional. If you struggle with keeping your phone cool, regularly operate the CPU Cooler feature. CPU Cooler works by pinpointing the apps running in the background of your phone that are causing your phone’s temperature to decrease. Click here to cool down your device with a single click:

CPU Cooler is the best way to cool down your phone quickly, but if you really struggle with keeping your phone cool, you’ll likely want to try multiple cool-down methods. Here are 4.

Put Your Phone Into a Cool Place

Your phone overheats more quickly if you store it on a sunny windowsill or in the glovebox of your car on a hot day. Getting your phone out of these hot environments can cool it down immediately — try putting it into a dark room or even cool it down with a fan. Never put it into the freezer or refrigerator, though. Cold temperatures can damage your phone, too.

Update Your Apps or Get Rid of the Ones You No Longer Use

Even if you don’t use them, apps often run and update in the background of your phone, making your phone work harder than necessary. Get rid of these unwanted apps rather than letting them linger on your phone. Also, be sure to update your older apps. Developers often release updates that prevent overheating.

Limit Your Time Playing Games or Taking Pictures

Playing games requires a lot of work on your phone’s part, so it can really heat up your device. Same with taking pictures, especially high-resolution photographs. If you enjoy these activities, try setting a timer to limit how long you’re sucked into game playing or photography — these are some of the biggest reasons devices overheat.

Separate Your Running Devices

While it might be convenient to keep your phone and your tablet stacked together on your desk or in your purse, don’t do it. Multiple devices running near one another can heat all of them up.

These are a few simple steps to stop your phone from heating up — and damaging your battery and operating system. Remember, keeping your phone cool can extend its life.

Do you know how to keep your smartphone's battery healthy?

Probably not. In fact, you may have been hastening the death of your phone's battery with your charging habits.

Charging to 100%, or overnight? Fully discharging before plugging in? These common practices can shorten the usable life of your battery, according to Cadex, a company that offers

devices that test smartphone batteries, among others.

How to best extend the life of batteries has been a prime topic since Apple disclosed last month that it was slowing down iphones with degraded batteries to prevent the devices from shutting down unexpectedly.

Cadex offers a lot of information on its Battery University website , including about lithium-ion batteries — the type that powers smartphones.

It turns out that if you want to delay having to replace your battery or buy a new phone, there are specific percentage levels within which you should keep your phone's battery.

Here's how to — and how not to — charge your phone.

The best way to charge your phone is a little at a time, whenever you have a chance.

Just plug it in whenever you can, even if it's for a few minutes, and you'll be fine.

"Partial charges cause no harm," according to Battery University.

Don't fully discharge your phone before plugging it in.

Battery University says that so-called deep discharges — when you use your phone until only a small portion of its battery life is left — wear down batteries.

Samsung echoes that advice in a blog post offering tips on how to extend your phone's battery life.

Try to keep your battery's charge level between 65% and 75%.

According to Battery University, the lithium-ion battery in your smartphone will last longest if you keep it 65% to 75% charged at all times.

Clearly, it's impractical to always keep your phone charge between those levels — but at least you know what's ideal.

If you can't do that, shoot for keeping its charge level between 45% and 75%.

The second-best charge range for batteries inside smartphones is 45% to 75% — probably a lot more realistic for most people on a day-to-day basis than 65% to 75%.

You could even develop a daily routine to plug in your phone at particular times to keep its charge within those levels.

But you have some wiggle room. If you typically keep your phone's charge level between 25% and 75%, you most likely won't cause too much long-term damage.

Never fully charge your battery — and particularly not from a low charge level.

Charging your phone's battery to 100% from a low 25% — or pretty much any amount — can reduce its capacity and shorten its lifespan.

According to Battery University, lithium-ion batteries do "not need to be fully charged, nor is it desirable to do so."

"In fact, it is better not to fully charge," it says, "because a high voltage stresses the battery" and wears it out in the long run.

You probably shouldn't charge your phone overnight.

I've seen a lot of debate about the effects of charging your smartphone overnight.

But if charging to 100% causes the most damage to a phone battery's lifespan, you should probably cut it out.

And unplug your phone once it's charged.

Thinner and thinner smartphones seem to be the trend lately, and one that many people complain about. But iPhones have actually gotten thicker over the last few years, mostly thanks to beefier hardware and added technology.

I’m sure you’ve heard the complaints before:

• “I want Apple to make a thicker iPhone with a bigger battery!”
• “I would gladly accept a thicker iPhone if it meant better battery life!”
• “I’m sick of manufacturers making phones thinner and sacrificing battery capacity.”

Those complaints certainly had some merit several years ago—from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 6, overall device thickness decreased by 44%, from 12.3mm all the way down to 6.9mm.

Phone thinness used to be a bragging point for manufacturers—and it still somewhat is—but in this day and age, a super-thin phone isn’t something to boast about unless it can also deliver good-enough battery life. And therein lies the true challenge when creating a thin smartphone: battery capacity and battery life.

Thin Phones Are Great, but So Is Awesome Battery Life

The thinner you make a smartphone, the less room you have for the battery and other components. Sure, you can try to make all of the circuitry smaller to fit in more battery, but the battery already takes up a majority of the space inside a phone, and the circuitry can only get so small.

Surprisingly, though, while iPhones were getting thinner and thinner between 2008 and 2014, battery capacity was steadily increasing, and it still is to this day.

Charts do not include Plus/Max models

The iPhone 3G had a 1,150 mAh battery, and through the years that Aincreased to a 1,810 mAh battery in the iPhone 6, even though the phone itself was much thinner. This doesn’t necessarily mean that physical battery size increased by that much, but the more milliamp hours (mAh) in a battery, the better battery life, theoretically.

In fact, from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 6, talk time increased from 5 to 14 hours. Internet use over Wi-Fi increased from 6 to 11 hours. Video playback increased from 7 to 11 hours. And audio playback increased from 24 to 50 hours.

Of course, it’s great that battery capacity and life has steadily been on the rise, but it’s safe to say that if Apple wasn’t so gung-ho on making iPhones as thin as possible, they probably could’ve squeezed in even more battery capacity than they did during that era.

Thankfully, iPhones Are Getting Thicker

The good news is that Apple finally seems to be getting to the point where phones can’t get any thinner, at least for now. Better yet, rather than just keeping new iPhone models at 6.9mm (the thickness of the iPhone 6, which is the thinnest-ever iPhone), iPhones have gotten progressively thicker.

As you can see in the graph above, starting in 2015 with the release of the iPhone 6S, iPhones have continuously been getting thicker, and batteries have gotten much bigger. From the iPhone 6 to the iPhone XR, overall thickness has increased by 1.4mm. That may not seem like a lot, but that’s a healthy 20% increase in thickness.

Because of that (and also thanks to the continuing advancements in battery tech), iPhone battery capacity has seen a 72% increase from the iPhone 6S to the iPhone XR—better than the 53% increase from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 6.

The Real Truth, Though: iPhones Are Thicker Because of Added Technology

Now, it’s important to note that Apple likely hasn’t been making its phones thicker so that they can squeeze in bigger batteries. Rather, it’s because of all the added technology that the company has tacked on to the iPhone over the years—bigger batteries and better battery life is likely just a bonus.

Let’s break it down a little to show why iPhones have gotten thicker:

• The iPhone 6S is 0.2mm thicker than the iPhone 6, likely due to the addition of 3D Touch within the display.
• The Plus models of the 7, and 8 are also 0.2mm thicker than their smaller brethren, thanks to the dual-lens camera. The 6 Plus and 6s Plus didn’t have dual-lens cameras, but they did have optical image stabilization.
• The iPhone 8 is 0.2mm thicker than the iPhone 7, thanks to the addition of wireless charging and a rear glass panel (instead of aluminum).
• The iPhone X is 0.4mm thicker than the iPhone 8, likely because of the dual-lens camera in a smaller body than past Plus models. The logic board is also , but this is probably just to make room for a larger battery, and not the main reason for the thicker frame.
• The iPhone XR is 0.6mm thicker than the iPhone X due to its LCD (rather than using thinner OLED technology from the X and XS).

It’s also worth noting that iPhones have gotten bigger (23% increase in surface area from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone XR), so larger batteries were inevitable no matter the thickness.

Plus, with faster CPUs, more memory, and larger displays, processing power on iPhones is getting more and more demanding. This means Apple is forced to increase the battery capacity to keep battery life from going down the drain. The iPhone X is a great example—that extra room for a bigger battery was likely a requirement, rather than a cool bonus feature.

Because of that, while battery capacity has increased significantly over the years, battery life hasn’t necessarily followed an identical path. On average, there has only been a 48% increase in battery life—compared to the 72% increase in battery capacity—from the iPhone 6S to the XR. That’s still a nice increase, but it goes to show that larger battery capacity doesn’t directly translate to better battery life.

In the end, iPhones are no longer getting thinner, even if it may seem that way—Apple still likes like to rave on about how thin their phones are. And even if thicker iPhones exist purely because of larger camera sensors and beefier components, at least overall battery life has been on an upward trend ever since the original model was released.
