When you are going to meet someone, go to an event or you are going to be away from home for a long time, it is best to try to carry your mobile prepared so that it will last you all the time , although this is not always going to be possible.
Therefore, we tell you what you should not do when the time comes when it is running out and you have to reserve it in case you need it.
In addition, it is worth taking the charger, or at least the cable, always with you in case you find somewhere to charge the mobile and that it lasts much longer in everything you need.
At first you probably won’t worry about this, but when you’re running out of charge, you’ll surely appreciate knowing how to save battery on your mobile and what you shouldn’t do to consume it in less time. This is what you shouldn’t do…
Real-time location sharing
It may seem like a good idea to share your location in real time if you are going to meet someone and they want to know where you are when you are going to meet, but if your battery is low it is a worse idea than you imagine.
GPS is a battery-guzzling thing , but real-time location sharing does a lot more. What you can do instead is simply share your (non-real-time) location from time to time, or say where you are.
It is better that you tell him where you are going as you get closer, or when you think you will definitely run out, or reserve cargo to tell him where to meet or notify him when you have reached your destination.
It is true that by sharing your location, other people will know where you are, and this is appreciated when you are running out of battery, but there are better things you can do, as we have already said. This is an action that consumes a lot of charge and could turn off the mobile at the least opportune moment.
Share your connection with other people
In the event that another person needs to access the Internet and does not have data, you can help them by sharing your connection, however, this is not advisable when you are draining your battery because it does not only consume data. Your load will last much less with this simple action.
Also if you have WiFi activated searching for networks when there is no Internet or even connecting to services that use a lot of data, such as streaming or videos. There are Internet services that you can access with low battery, although it is best that you try not to abuse them and do not use those that require a lot of resources.
record videos
Whenever you are at a concert, event or celebration, or simply when you want to keep an important memory of something, you may be tempted to record more than one video to send to someone else or watch later. However, if you have little battery left, it is much better that you enjoy the experience and reserve it for other more important things since the recording, and especially if it is of good quality, consumes much more than you imagine.
It is not known if you will be able to need it later. The videos consume a lot of load, so, if you want to immortalize the moment, it is best to opt for a photo , although without abusing it.
Update mobile
If your battery is low, do not update your mobile. This is a bad idea. First, because you don’t need to do it at that moment, but it is better that you do it in a quiet moment with the Wi-Fi at home and with the mobile phone preferably charging. Second, because the battery could die before the update is complete , with unintended consequences.
In case you have a pending update , it is better to wait to have the mobile charging, it is much safer and will avoid any unpleasantness. Although we advise you to update to the latest version as soon as possible, this is the least opportune time to do it.
