To avoid being lost in the middle of nowhere this summer, without a phone, remember to make this completely free handling and which does not require an accessory.
We all knew this moment of loneliness. The telephone that goes out in the middle of a trip, a call, a payment or just before a photo that you will never do again. And the longer the days, the more we move away from home, the more it repeats. In the middle of summer, when you take a thousand photos, whether you use the cards to find your way or book a restaurant on the fly, it becomes almost anxiety. However, there is an often ignored adjustment, which can save several hours of autonomy. No app to install, no gadget to buy.
Emily Stallings, telephony expert for Casely, says it without detours: “It’s the nightmare of the modern traveler: finding yourself stuck in an unknown place with a flat phone.” She saw them pass, distraught customers, convinced that their battery was dead or that they should invest in an external battery. However, it is not a fatality, she explains. The problem frequently comes from a default parameter, which is never thought of deactivating. A technical adjustment which gives an impression of modernity, but which does more harm than good.
“With 5G, your phone becomes a real energy detective in energy, constantly seeking signals and thus consuming huge amounts of energy”, she says. Even when you don’t use the Internet intensively. This is especially true in areas where 5G is not stable: where the network jumps from one antenna to another, the phone fights to keep the course, and the battery melts in sight.
What the specialist advises is a simple adjustment, to be made only once. And according to her, the effects are immediate. She saw phones hold almost twice as long as a day. It’s huge when you are traveling, in transport, at a festival or simply far from a catch. “Unless you download large files or play competitive mobile games, you will probably not notice any speed differences”she underlines. Netflix, social networks, GPS, calls: everything works as well. And yet the phone consumes much less. His advice: go from 5G to 4G.
Available both on iPhone and Android, this parameter change takes place in the telephone settings, in a few seconds. No specific consequences, except for battery savings and a smartphone that avoids overheating. Another option that you probably use as most users: put your phone in plane mode to save your battery during prolonged trips.
