6 Ways You Are Unintentionally Destroying Your Smartphone by Opinionated: 1:24pm On Jan 04, 2018
Smartphones keep us connected, informed and much more. For many of us, they have become more than a simple tech tool, so we should probably take better care of them than we do. Instead of treating them as if they are toys that can be replaced, we should handle them as if our lives and jobs depend on them. Nonetheless, there are certain things we unintentionally or unknowingly do to our smartphones. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, discusses them.

Neglecting malware

Malware doesn’t only infect desktop computers. It could do even worse damage to your smartphone. This is because smartphone malware can track your location and steal highly sensitive data as well. It is essential that you take caution when installing apps on your smartphone.

Packing it full

Unless you use an Android phone that accommodates SD card, you can quickly fill up your devices until they won’t work. Without enough storage space, the device may either become sluggish or won’t function. Monitor the space on your device and if possible, use SD cards.

Always leaving it on


Smartphones don’t rest because they are always on even at night. In fact, in many cases, these devices work more than our desktops and laptops. So, make it a habit to reboot it, turn it off at night or shut it down for 30 minutes.

Exposing it to heat and cold


Exposing your device to heat and cold weather conditions can be damaging. Therefore, you should be very conscious where you leave your smartphone.

Keeping your smartphone in your pocket

You don’t want to keep your phone in the back pocket of your trousers or jeans. This might damage or break the device. With your body pressure, the phone might bend or break into two while you’re sitting. If you have to keep your phone in your pocket, it should be the hind pocket.

Rooting improperly

One of the ways to take control of your device is to root it. Rooting is a bit complicated and should be done by a professional. However, if you decide to do it yourself, there is a high chance of incomplete rooting which may cause your phone to malfunction.

my HTC is always hot, I have downloaded and installed different battery saver and apps cleaners, I discovered those battery savers are like Morata, they don't do what I installed them to do, they even added to my phone problem so deleted them remaining due battery. but beyond that, i have since been putting my phone in the fridge for some few minutes to get cold before I continue using it.is there any danger doing this ??

You are correct ooO, we care more for our phone than our health.
we care more for our phone than our Bible/Qur'an.
Am also guilty of this. I pray God help ooO.

op, you said something about malware, my phone's GPS always turns itself on, even when I turn it off, it comes on again. this happens if I dial a number or I put on my data for browsing. what do you think is the cause of this?
