Why Do You need to Turn Off Your Phone?<\/b><\/p>\n

Experts suggest that turning your phone off can help preserve your battery for longer. But don\u2019t bother turning off your phone if it will only be off for a short period of time. The battery-boosting benefits of powering off only take effect if you power off for a few hours or more. If you have your phone plugged into a wall outlet when it is off, you also won\u2019t get any of the benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re out of network range or if you are planning on going to sleep without charging your phone, go ahead and turn off the phone. When off, your phone won\u2019t lose power. This will really help to extend your battery\u2019s life. Remember, the average Android only has 300 to 500 full charges before it starts to malfunction \u2014 or die altogether \u2014 so if you can eliminate needing to re-charge by powering your phone off, why not do it?<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Some of the Side Benefits of Powering Off?<\/b><\/p>\n

Turning off your phone doesn\u2019t just benefit the battery. You\u2019ll also gain focus for work. For example, experts say that the human mind isn\u2019t adept at multitasking \u2014 that belief was a pesky myth. You may think that your mind likes the stimulation of switching between many activities \u2014 like constantly checking that phone \u2014 but really, that click-around behavior isn\u2019t helping you be efficient. To be more productive, power off for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
