Top 11 Ways to Make Your Cell Phone Battery Last Longer
Cell phones have come a long way in terms of features and styling, but the issue of battery life, or having enough of it, remains strong. Yes, you can keep your battery juiced up for days if you don't talk on the phone ever, but what's the use of that? And sure, you can carry your admittedly portable charger with you to work, but try taking it out with you for a night out on the town -- it's just not practical. Luckily, all hope is not lost -- with a quick adjustments here and there, you can extend the battery life of your phone by hours and sometimes even days. We've compiled a list of tips and tricks to keep your phone battery running longer -- take a look, follow a few, and you'll never have to say "sorry, my phone battery died" again.
Turn your cell phone off.
Sure, it might seem obvious, but when was the last time you actually shut off your phone when not using it? Well, do it next time, and you'll see just how much longer your battery lasts. When you're asleep, while you're in a dead cell phone reception area, or, the next time you're at the movies....Next time you find yourself in a theater as the previews start, try turning your phone off instead of putting it on silent. You shouldn't be checking your phone during the movie anyway.

if you use your phone for work purposes,then after work turn it off,dont think your that important that you will conduct business in the middle of the nite.kids leave it on always they think they will miss something,like what ?my son just looked at me.no comprehension and he is 26

Everyone should turn their phones off and on at least once a day.. so they can reset.
Since all I have is a cell.. I do leave mine on during the night, for emg calls if needed.
I am amazed at the people who hear the ph ring and just have to grab it up, ya know they all have ansering service. You can call people back!
If you don't recognize a number, let it go to voice mail. Let them leave a message, and you can call back if you wish!
I never thought that I'd say this, but there really needs to be a law against using a cell during driving. Too many people can not talk and drive.. they go too slow, are not aware of traffic around them.. etc etc
