How 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.

Well I just got my cellphone last than a week ago, and I easily went thru the battery in a day (ev-do is sure power hungry) but my cat decided he wanted attention and chewed thru my charging cable, so I can't charge my phone, so htis will be day 2 when I get up, right now its off and I'm in power saving mode, I don't really need it tomorrow, other than for a short time after work and a short time today and I have the power saving mode on, to help make sure I can use it until I get another charger
