Thank you very much for your advice because we forget it or from time to time a reminder is good for our ecology.

An idea but successful, why not send a reminder through an app that we can activate in our customer area?

Please avoid familiarity! I’m not 20 anymore and it’s embarrassing

And how exactly can you properly remove junk data from your cell phone?

@Chatz13, regarding your question about memory cleanup - maybe these links will help you:

Basically, it is important to generate as little data waste as possible. You can remove apps that you no longer need by long-clicking on the corresponding icon.

However, you can only completely free a device from data waste by performing a factory reset. Then you only reinstall the apps you really need. This method is very time-consuming but the most effective. Before that, you have to back up the data that you still need.

The link to “Delete unnecessary data” for Android phones is wrong, it leads to the iPhones page.

“Regularly delete large apps to clear cache.” Please tell us how to do it!

“activates power saving mode.” You should know that with this mode, the calendar and contacts are not saved in the cloud! So if the phone is changed or reset, they will be lost!

@Anonymous, corrected. 🙂 Thank you for the tip!

Thank you for these reminder notes, always useful to refresh your memory 😉

Important information, that with the store it is always somehow difficult to find the right dose.
Thank you, greetings from Davos, Klaus

The battery tips for charging are very helpful. I think it’s also better not to charge the device overnight, because then it might keep recharging when the battery drops a little (99%…). Charging capacities that are too short will certainly cause damage in the long run.

Thanks for the tips

I have an iPhone 6s that is almost seven years old. The battery level shows 77%, which is quite okay, although it usually goes from a few percent to 100%. Thanks for the tip!

The tip about charging (10-90%) cannot really be implemented consistently in reality. And from a technical point of view, depending on the device used, it has long been outdated.

Android, for example, knows the setting for battery conservation. In this mode only the range 10-90% of the battery is “extended”, but the display is still scaled to 0-100% in order not to confuse customers. Specifically, this means that the device switches off when the display shows 0%, but the battery itself still has 10% charge. A full charge is displayed as 100%, but only corresponds to 90% charge.

If you also follow the tip with 10 - 90% in this mode, then you will actually only use the battery in the range of 20 - 80%, i.e. the operating time of the device with one battery charge is only a little more than half as long as expected, which is certainly not what the user has in mind.

The biggest battery killers are fast chargers anyway. If you want to conserve the battery, charge the device as slowly as possible. Depending on the device/OS, this can be set in the system. My tablet takes 2 hours in normal mode and 1 hour in quick charge mode. Since the battery still heats up relatively strongly even in normal mode, I use the weaker charger from the previous model, so the charging time is 4.5 hours. If I need to go faster for once, I can always switch to normal or quick charging mode. I also make sure that the device does not heat up unnecessarily in the sun or in the car.

Thanks to these measures, the battery still shows a capacity of 94% after 2 ½ years.

Thank you for your always useful and refreshing advice.

WiFi fails very often

Sustainability/protect the environment? I had to throw away my first cell phone because it no longer had a battery and I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A8 for about 2.5 years now and have to change it again because the “software” is no longer updated and there are security gaps. Unfortunately, constantly new models “force” you to change your cell phone long before it no longer works.

You still get the longest investment protection with the iPhone. The iPhone 7 or the first SE, which was released in 2016, will be provided with the current iOS releases until September 2022 and then with security updates for another 2 years, meaning you have a service life of 6-8 years.
