The Main Issue with Charging Your Phone Overnight
If your phone seems to be fine whenever you charge it overnight, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is fine. The real issue with leaving your phone plugged in is that doing so can affect your battery’s health. It can reduce the lifespan and quality of your battery — a disappointing reality if you just dropped a lot of money on a new phone. While you may not see the effects of this decision immediately, you’ll start to see it over time. Then you’ll be stuck with a phone that doesn’t hold a charge or continuously freezes when you have a year left on your phone contract.

Is Your Phone Prone to Overheating?
Overcharging used to be a major issue for cell phones, but as technology has improved, it has become less of a problem. However, that doesn’t mean you should leave your phone plugged in for long periods of time, especially if your phone is older or if you’re using an off-brand or cheap phone charger. Pay attention to how your phone responds to charging (with the assistance of Total Charge). If it gets hot after reaching 100%, then you know you need to immediately unplug your phone after it’s done charging to avoid immediate battery damage.

An overheating phone — whether caused by overcharging or a poor-quality charger — could also spark or start a fire. Additionally, you should steer clear of “fast chargers,” which can cause your phone to rapidly overheat, which will further damage your phone’s battery life.

Your phone can only handle so many apps. If you find your phone is slowing down, use PSafe Total’s Memory Booster to see how much memory your apps are taking up. You might want to consider removing any unnecessary apps that you find that are using a lot of data.

Each iteration of firmware brings improvements for the Android operating system. If your firmware isn’t up-to-date, you should definitely install the newest version for better stability, performance, and connectivity.

Your phone comes with plenty of apps from the manufacturer that you don’t want — or need. Go to your app settings and disable the ones that you aren’t using. Don’t uninstall them; it might turn out that your phone needs them to work properly. Disabling them, though, will make sure the apps aren’t draining your phone’s battery life.

Buy a Memory Card with a Higher Speed

Phones with memory cards with low internal memory can often be slow — and can’t store very much data. To speed up your phone, consider replacing your existing memory card with more gigabytes of storage. While you’re at it, you should look for a Class 6 or Class 10 memory card to improve your phone’s performance.

Wallpapers definitely look nice, but they also run through a lot of CPU cycles, which drains your battery life faster. Every time you go to your home screen, you’re activating your live wallpaper, so your only option is to trash it.
