10 Cell Phone Tips and Tricks

What are your best tips and tricks?

1. Put a rubber band around your phone to keep it from overheating.

If you are playing a game or doing something that is heavy on processing power, the phone can overheat and shut off. A rubber band around the phone will keep the heat in and prevent this from happening.

2. Put coins in between the screen and the glass of your phone to keep it from cracking when it falls.

If you put a couple quarters (or pennies) between the screen and the glass, when you drop your phone, the glass won't crack as much because of all of this extra thickness added in.

3. Put a Post-It note on your camera lens to get rid of glare when taking photos outside or in bright light.

This is especially useful for people who take a lot of selfies with their phones. The glare from the sun can make it difficult to take good pictures unless you do this trick.

4. When making a call, hit "send" twice before hanging up to immediately redial that number so you don't have to look up again later.

This has been around forever but I still forget about it sometimes so thought I'd mention it here.

5. If someone texts you "I am at 123 Main St", text them back "Which apartment?". It's easier than calling them back and asking which apartment they are at. Although if they are right next door, just knock on their door!

This is also an old one but I think it's great advice since texting is now more prevalent than calling anyway.
