As our favorite software, OnBase can run on iPhones, iPads Blackberry, and Android Devices, we thought these tips were very helpful:
How to make sure your mobile device lasts the longest during the times when you need it the most:
1) Close ALL your open apps
2) Use “Airplane mode”: Once you’re done talking for the night and don't need to be reached,
switch your phone to “Airplane mode” during the quiet time in between (ideal time would be at night when everyone is sleeping). Doing this turns off all cell, data, GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFI capabilities.
3) Set your phone to ring, not vibrate: It takes more out of your battery to make the phone vibrate than it does to make it ring.
4) Tone down your screen brightness: The brighter your screen is, the more quickly the battery gets drained.
5) Turn off your data: If you’re not planning to Google movie times or check your email—or you don’t even have access to the Internet—turn your phone’s cellular data network off.
6) Turn off all unnecessary functions: No access to WiFi? Turn it off. Not traveling? Turn off the phone’s GPS. Not driving? You don’t need BlueTooth to be on. The less programs you have running, the longer it’ll last.
7) Turn off updates: Is your phone set up to receive Facebook updates, email notifications, Foursquare check-ins, and more? Turn them off — your phone is checking in on these sites for updates on a recurrent schedule and draining its battery in the process.
Now, let’s say your phone is on its last leg and you need to give it a quick charge. Here are a few ways that you can charge it without access to power in your home:
1) Go to a public place that has power: Could be a store, restaurant, bank . . . ask to use one of their outlets
2) Use your car charger: If your car battery isn’t on its last leg, start it up and let your phone sit there charging for 15 minutes or so. Better yet, plug it in and make your calls / text messages from the car while it’s charging so that the phone usage is a wash.
3) Use your laptop’s battery: Does your laptop still have some charge to it? Plug your phone in through the USB drive and get a quick charge that way.
3) Set your phone to ring, not vibrate: It takes more out of your battery to make the phone vibrate than it does to make it ring.
