Cell Phone

As you ensure that your seat back and tray table are both in their full upright positions, you will also be reminded you to put your smartphone, tablet, or other mobile devices in airplane mode. This is an important step that all passengers should take as the flight crew prepares for takeoff.

How Airplane Mode Works

Your cell phone, tablet and other similar personal electronics all contain a number of different wireless radios that are used for communication purposes. These include connecting to your cellular provider for talk, text and mobile data, as well as GPS, Bluetooth, and more. When you enable airplane mode, which is also known as flight mode or offline mode, all of these wireless connections are turned off.

Why It Is Used

The radio emissions from your mobile device can cause interference with many of the airplane's on-board systems. While a single phone probably won't be too much of an issue, a plane full of active wireless devices, particularly those searching for a network signal, can generate a great deal of radio pollution. In turn, the pilot's ability to communicate with air traffic control can be significantly hampered with "noisy" audio.

Enable Flight Mode on Your Phone

It's easy to put your phone on airplane mode. This task usually only requires a few short steps.

iPhone Instructions

To enable flight mode on an iPhone:

1. Open Control Center from the Home Screen. On most iPhones, you will need to swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen. If you have an iPhone X, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen.
2. Tap on the airplane icon.

Alternatively, you can open the Settings app on your iPhone and enable airplane mode by tapping the corresponding slider.

Android Instructions

To enable flight mode on an Android device:

1. Swipe down twice from the top of the screen to reveal the Quick Settings panel.
2. Tap on the Airplane Mode icon in the displayed grid.

Alternatively, open up the Settings app on your Android phone, look under Wireless & Networks (or equivalent), and tap the appropriate toggle for Airplane Mode.

Communicating in Airplane Mode

When your mobile device is in airplane mode, it will not connect to the 3G/4G cellular network of your chosen wireless provider. As a result, many of your regular forms of communication will be disrupted.

• When people call you, it would be the same as if you were outside of the service area. By default, calls are typically directed to voicemail automatically.
• If the caller does not leave a voicemail, you will not know that you missed a call.
• People can still send text messages to you, but you will not receive them until your device reconnects to the cellular network.
• If you have Wi-Fi calling enabled on your plan and you connect to the in-flight Wi-Fi service, you may be able to receive phone calls that way.
• Certain messaging apps, including WhatsApp, allow you to send offline messages. The message is saved on your device and will be sent automatically when your phone reconnects to the Internet.

In-Flight Wi-Fi Networks

When you enable airplane mode on your device, all the wireless radios are disabled. If your flight offers in-flight Internet services, you can turn on the Wi-Fi on your phone after you've enabled flight mode. This keeps the 3G/4G cellular radio off while allowing you to connect to the plane's Wi-Fi network by following the airline's instructions.

Usage Outside a Plane

Airplane mode is named as such because it is used most commonly while on a flight. However, there are uses for this mode even when you are not on a plane. For example, it can help save battery life and speed up charging, as well as temporarily eliminate distractions. If you visit certain restricted areas or places with sensitive equipment, you may be asked to turn off your phone or activate airplane mode.

Be Prepared

Just as it's a good idea to pack your bags strategically and be prepared to get through airport security quickly, taking the time to familiarize yourself with flight mode on your device will make for a more pleasant journey. For the safety of all passengers aboard, be sure to keep your device in airplane mode for the full duration of the flight.

Cell phone cases serve a very important purpose beyond simple aesthetics, though the value of personalization should not be understated. Smartphones are expensive pieces of equipment and they need to be suitably protected against the usual bumps and bruises associated with everyday use. Well-designed mobile phone cases can help prevent scratches, chips and other damage and they come in a variety of different styles and types.

Types of Cases for Mobile Phones

There is no such thing as the perfect cell phone case, because each type of case has its advantages and inherent flaws. Select a case that best suits your needs, fashion sense and personal preferences.

Hard Shells

Hard plastic cases come in a variety of colors and are typically relatively thin, helping to maintain the streamlined appearance of modern smartphones. The official Nexus 5 snap caseis lightweight and durable, while the thicker Speck CandyShell offers two layers of protection in a single-piece case.

Silicone, Gel and TPU

One of the issues that some people encounter with hard shell cases is that they can be quite slippery and the hard plastic may crack. For users who want a more flexible solution with a better grip, silicone cases, gel cases, and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) cases may be a better option. They'll have more of a rubbery texture to them and are very similar to one another.

The LG Expo case is an inexpensive case, and silicone skins from Accessory Geeks come in a variety of colors. Generic TPU cases can be found in abundance on eBay for only a few dollars.

Bumper Style

Rather than fully protecting the back of the cell phone, bumper cases like the ULAK iPhone 5S bumper case only wrap around the exterior frame. Bumpers are typically slightly thicker than the phone itself, helping to protect the front and back from scratches when laying on a flat surface like a table. Because the back is fully exposed, however, overall protection is not as robust.

Holsters and Pouches

While most cell phone cases on the market today are designed to stay on the phone all day, holsters and pouches act as protective pockets for cell phones. They may or may not include a belt clip for convenience and the phone must be removed from the holster or pouch to be used. The iPhone 6 cases from NueVue have the added feature of killing germs and bacteria.

Wallet and Folio Cases

For people who would prefer not to carry a separate wallet, there are special wallet cases for a variety of smartphones that come with one or more slots to hold driver's licenses and credit cards. These cases are inherently a little bulkier. Some, like the Spigen Case Wallet S and IZENGATE Executive Premium Flip Case Cover Folio, provide the additional function of acting as a phone stand for watching longer videos.

Battery Extending Cases

Lack of battery life is a common problem among smartphones. While external USB power banks can provide an added charge when needed, there are also phone cases with integrated battery packs.

A popular example is the Mophie Juice Pack Helium, providing an extra 1500mAh for the iPhone 5 and 5S. There are also cases that provide a wireless charging solution, as is the case with the Patriot FUEL iON Kit.

Ultra Rugged Protection

To survive the harsher conditions of construction sites and field work, some users may seek out the highest level of protection from the most rugged of cases. Many of these bulkier cell phone cases adhere to military-grade standards.

The OtterBox Defender Series and the Body Glove Toughsuit series are among the best, protecting against drops, dust and other damage. Some smartphone cases are even waterproof.

Phone Case Shopping Tips

While more universal cell phone cases were once available, the overwhelming majority are now custom designed to fit specific models. When shopping for a case, make sure that it is perfectly compatible with your phone. Even phones that seem mostly similar may not be identical.

It may be tempting to opt for the least expensive case possible, but it is important to treat the case as an investment, protecting the valuable smartphone housed within. Not all pricey cases are inherently better either, so it helps to try out the different styles and models in person. Fit and finish are also very important.

And, as always, remember to shop around, both for the best price and for the best product. With so many varieties and so many stores, the options are nearly limitless.

With the continuous development of technology, the popularity and functions of mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful. People use mobile phones can be social, entertainment, payments, which has become a part of people’s life. In the meantime, mobile phone security has become a large problem that cannot be ignored. We all know that people use mobile phones in different ways, but there is no doubt that if we don’t use them properly, there will always be bad habits that will make mobile phones more unsafe. Now, let’s take a look at some bad habits of using a cell phone.

Some bad habits of using a cell phone:

1. The phone screen does not set the password.

There are many reasons why people don’t set their phone screen passwords. First, they are afraid of forgetting them due to bad memory or trouble. However, you should know that since you do not set a password, your various privacy may be leaked. For example, take Alipay as an example, when many friends use the payment function, they just open the APP directly and show the payment code. This is relatively dangerous! So phone screen password claims to be the first door of the mobile phone, locking is necessary!

2. WiFi / Bluetooth / GPS is always open.

If you always keep open WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, in addition to being unsafe, the power consumption is the key. Many mobile phone viruses are implemented via Bluetooth, and people with ulterior motives can also use Bluetooth spyware to view your phonebook, information, and documents.

3. Skip software and shop directly through your mobile phone browser.

The browser has always been the warm soil where viruses, Trojans and phishing sites spawn. The browser shopping is most likely to encounter fishing website, and now the payment process is extremely simplified, causing losses if you don’t pay attention to it, so it is safer to pay for the purchase in the security software.

4. The Application is not exited thoroughly.

The android app generally likes to stay in the background, and every time we all thought that the application is closed, it’s still running in the background, so anyone who has access to your phone can see it from the background management, so when you exit the software, remember to turn it off thoroughly.

5. Free network without discrimination.

Criminals tend to tempt you to connect WiFi by setting up a free WiFi, so as to steal important information on your phone, including all kinds of mobile payment usernames and passwords, so it’s best not to use free WiFi.

6. Private information was not deleted thoroughly when eliminating mobile phones.

Most people do not know double clear the phone or use file shredder to remove all personal information if the old phone is not processed and sold it at once, the personal information inside is easily known to those who have access to your phone.

7. Download copycat software.

Curiosity is a good thing. If you see apps and download them without discrimination, I think it’s not a good habit. Thus, it is best to choose a large app store to download applications, at least the Trojan virus will be much lower.

8. Store sensitive information on your phone.

It’s bad enough not to have a password on your phone, and if you still like to store sensitive personal information on it and use it to remember things, it’s even riskier.

9. Click the handset text message and link at will.

News of cell phone poisoning is frequently reported by clicking on the SMS link at random. For instance, criminals send fraudulent text messages to users’ mobile phones to induce the user to install the Trojan or log in the phishing website, so as to obtain some information such as user post password, the fund situation and so on. So please do not randomly click on the links of winning prizes, inviting you to view the photo album, and informing you of password problems.

10. Read the QR code and scan it.

Two-dimensional code is a double-edged sword, which brings convenience to users but also brings great risks. Viruses, Trojans, etc. may be hidden behind the QR code. If you scan the code, your mobile phone and personal information will be easily stolen by others.

Conclusion

Our daily life cannot be separated from mobile phones. A good habit of using mobile phones is very important. Let’s get rid of some bad habits of using mobile phones.

Nowadays, the cell phone is the most frequently used communication tool in daily life. I believe that many friends have to use the mobile phone to work, play games or entertain themselves and so on every day. It has to be said that mobile phones take up most of our time, and apparently suffer a lot of radiation hazards. So how to avoid the hazard of cell phone radiation?

How to avoid radiation from your cell phone

For the harm caused by cell phone radiation, I believe you all know very well. What we need to do now is not to be intimidated by the radiation from mobile phones, but to change our habits and try to reduce the harm caused by cell phone radiation. Next, I will show you some solutions to avoid the hazard of cell phone radiation.

Make your phone call properly

Tips 1: A few seconds before and after the phone is connected is the strongest electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, it is best not to let the phone stick to the head, or ears to answer. It is more scientific to alternate left and right ears or to use wired headphones when calling for long periods of time. Another option is to use Bluetooth headphones, which radiate a little more than wired headphones, but much less than cell phones.

Tips 2: Try to make a phone call when the phone signal is full, because the weaker the cell phone receives, the higher the cell phone radiation will be.

Tips 3: Try not to use mobile phones in elevators, cars or trains. Because your phone consumes more power and produces more radiation in metal-sealed space.

Send messages as soon as possible

Try not to make a phone call if you can send a message because compared with making a phone call, your cell phone is relatively far away from the human body when you text, which can reduce the radiation to the human body.

Refuse Shanzhai aquatic products mobile phones

Most of the Shanzhai mobile phones are poorly manufactured and do not pass strict quality inspection. In order to improve the communication ability of mobile phones, some mobile phone manufacturers use spare parts that exceed the standard, resulting in far higher radiation of the Shanzhai mobile phone than that of the real mobile phone. Therefore, please firmly say no to Shanzhai mobile phones.

Don’t get addicted to mobile games

Some friends are fond of playing mobile games. They often play with the games while charging when the phone is out of power. In fact, the radiation is also quite large, especially in the process of playing with the games while charging, it is also easy to cause the problem of battery explosion. Therefore, the time spent on mobile phones every day must be controlled reasonably and scientifically, so as to avoid excessive radiation to the eyes when mobile phones are launched at high power.

Lower the temperature of the phone

In summer, the temperature is too high, and the mobile phone is prone to overheating. At this time, the mobile phone has been overloaded with work and the radiation is relatively large. It is necessary to stop the operation of mobile phones and put them in a ventilated place to lower the temperature of the phones.

Summary

It is inevitable for many people to use mobile phones, and I am no exception. It is a common problem for modern people to feel uneasy when mobile phones are not around or in sight. But for the sake of your health, it’s also important to know how to avoid radiation from your cell phone. The most important thing is to use your cell phone properly and not overdo it.

Nobody can live without a cell phone these days and it seems like everyone has one within reach 24 hours a day. While a mobile phone can do many things that were unimaginable just 20 years ago, it's still just an instrument like any other. Cell phones come with both advantages and disadvantages to consider.

Positives of Cell Phones

Mobile phones have many uses, both on a personal level and beyond. They can be used to help make your life, career, and business better and easier.

Reduced Call Costs

It cost around $12 to make a three-minute call from Boston to London in 1950. The same call was $3 in 1960. Today, you can do it for free  with Skype Facebook ,Messenger, Whatsapp

Increased Productivity with Mobile Hotspot

Turn on your phone's mobile hotspot 

M-Commerce Business Opportunities

For those with strong business acumen, the total user base of six billion people reveals the massive market of m-commerce (mobile commerce instead of e-commerce). This translates to an unprecedented number of opportunities for those who sell things with m-commerce and anything related to mobile phones. The thousands of iPhone and Android apps are good examples of people (app developers) who are aware of the massive potential of mobile commerce.

Easy Monitoring While Away

Mobile phones are equipped with a GPS system so that the user can be tracker. This feature provides security, especially in monitoring children  and improving crime prevention. There are, however, cell phone location tracking laws that were issued by states to protect user privacy. A cell phone also provides convenient access to real time monitoring when used in tandem with Internet-connected cameras (IP cameras). This makes it easy for parents and business owners to monitor their homes and stores remotely.

Negatives of Cell Phones

Anything that's used in excess can result in negative outcomes. The same is true with using mobile phones. Here are several drawbacks for consideration.

Changes in Reading Habits

As people are getting more accustomed to reading brief texts, they're starting to read fewer actual books. According to research by the Pew Research Center , teachers and parents have confirmed that teenagers have been avoiding reading books, which are many times longer than text messages. Reading habits have changed across the age groups. Publications have been forced to adapt.

Distracted Driving

It's not only concerned parents who are telling their children to stop calling and texting while driving , but also the National Safety Council(NSC)  and the state legislators. According to the NSC, someone is hurt in a car crash every eight seconds and 47 percent of them are due to using cell phones while driving.

This explains why state legislators have approved laws banning the use of cell phones while driving. While select states ban calling while driving, which is allowed with certain safety conditions, almost all states ban texting while driving.

Cancer and Health Risks

According to an article written by Patrick J. Skerrett, the former executive editor of Harvard Health, cell phone use stimulates brain activity, which in itself is neither good nor bad. However, the primary concern is the possibility that excessive cell phone use could cause brain cancer. Cell phone antennas are known to emit radio frequency energy, which is a form of non-ionizing radiation. And since tissues nearest to them can absorb it, health experts at the National Cancer Institute are concerned about how cell phone use is affecting the health of users.

Environmental Impact

The first Apple iPhone was introduced in 2007. In the decade that has followed, the environment impact has been tremendous. The Greenpeace report "From Smart to Senseless: the Global Impact of 10 Years of Smartphones" gives a glimpse into how the production of new and the recycling of old smartphones affect the environment long term.

It takes about 70 kilograms of carbon dioxide to produce one iPhone. And it takes about 1,000 years for a used electronics, which includes mobile phones, to decompose in the environment. And don't forget about the 50 million tons of electronic waste dumped into landfills worldwide every year either.

Weighing the Pros and Cons

In this modern age, not using a mobile phone would be almost impossible. Most activities depend on communication with others and with using certain mobile apps. Simply take the time to be aware of habit changes, as well as growing concerns over health, safety and the impact on the environment. Like all tools, use cell phones responsibly.
