Following on from last week's posting regarding the heightened security checks at airports for some long - haul flights, here are a few tips about how to keep your electronic devices charged for as long as possible.
New security checks will mean that passengers may have to show that electronic devices have power or leave the devices behind. This applies to flights to and from the US - but will extend to other routes around the UK.
Here are a few tips which might mean the difference between taking your phone/tablet/iPad abroad or leaving it behind. And remember....while many airport lounges now have charging sockets for phones, they are limited and will be very busy in the future
Power Saving Tips For Phones
There are many of these on the net, but turning down your brightness, turning off your bluetooth and switching off your data services altogether can save bundles of battery life.
Pestering Phones
Stop your phone from being a nuisance and pestering you by turning off all notifications. Every time your phone beeps, whistles or ping with an alert it has used up power by notifying you and searching for that alert. E-mails should be set to manual search and location notifications turned off. Stop all "push" notifications.
Hungry Apps
Activity and GPS enabled Apps can drain power quickly and should be disabled or uninstalled - you can always load them again - easily if they're in The Cloud. Don't use your camera - especially on video and don't watch YouTube or other Video Channels.
Portable Charging Units
You can buy a Nomad Key which is a retractable charging device to attach to your key ring, check out the normal outlets for THIS
What about a portable charge pack like the INNERGIE products offer, or many more that are available HERE
Or what about a Wind Up Power Pack (HERE) which will get your phone through Airport Security at least.
Just a few tips and hits to get you through the next few weeks of Summer Searches and Checks.
