Will Anything Happen To My Android Phone If I Left It Unused For 6 Months? by lastchild: 3:15pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
My battle to leave social media (especially Facebook) has gotten to another level, so i think the only way i can win is to buy small phone and dump my android for atleast 6 months. i have the opportunity to do it now that i traveled to visit my family members, so I want to drop the phone here and travel back to my base, with this, there won't be any temptation of switching it on to check anything online. my question is, if I left the phone unused for 6 months,will anything happen to it? during the years of Walkman CD, i left mine and traveled to Lagos, spent only 2 months, on coming home, it's no longer working is my phone safe for 6 months unused?

I deactivate my FB account almost every 7days. Facebook is a place where surveillance cameras send you friend requests to monitor you. Though I'm not really interested in social media. Just read news and pass Hello, Hi is useless for growth 33 Likes 2 Shares |

Avoid putting your phone in areas of high heat or the battery and other components will swell up over time even when switched off. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yes, the battery may be affected if you don't charge to full once every 2 to 3 months... Even if you should, the phone should be kept without the battery in a dry place, Just get ready for a lot of update when you finally want to re-use your device after 6 months... In other words, you have the time to access Facebook because you don't have any other important thing to do online, I guess if you made money online you wouldn't have much time for Facebook... Now see this, https://www.nairaland.com/6705451 With the above link, I can't do without my phone for a day, Why? Because my gadgets are more like my office (s), they make me considerate amount of money daily.. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
