Clean laptop Screen
Laptops are expensive and easy to break due to this it is important to know how to clean your laptop properly. The main parts of a laptop that need regular maintenance and cleaning is the screen. So below are the processes to cleaning all of those important components in a laptop. Obviously, the screen on a laptop is the most delicate component in result it takes extra care and gentleness.
First, try to find a 100% cotton cloth this could be a t-shirt or maybe an old rag that you have. Also when cleaning a laptop screen never use a paper towel which is a common mistake for many. Second, find isopropyl alcohol which is the best and cheapest liquid to clean a laptop screen. Third, take the isopropyl alcohol and pour it on the cloth. Then genteelly wipe the laptop screen off removing any smudges or dust.

How to care for your laptop’s battery
Who
doesn’t have a love/hate relationship with their laptop battery? It lets us be
mobile, but it also chains us to that little battery life gauge and the dreaded
decay of performance as time goes on. But by following certain best practices,
you can move the relationship more firmly toward the “love” side. Here’s how.
Save cycles,
save your battery
All
laptop batteries are built to handle a certain number of charge cycles, usually
somewhere around 500 full cycles and sometimes more. Essentially, a charge
cycle equals one full discharge down to zero percent and then a recharge back
up to 100 percent. A discharge down to 50 percent and then back to 100 percent
would equal half a cycle. Over time, each charge cycle decreases a battery’s
capacity from its design specifications, meaning that the fewer times you drain
it, the longer the battery last — all other things being equal.
And
so, where do you start? You can begin by visiting the power settings corner of
your laptop. Many computers offer the ability to switch to an “eco mode” that
automatically adjusts the way power is used (such as automatically dimming your
screen brightness) to conserve battery energy. You can also manually reduce the
amount of power you’re using by shutting off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when you’re
not using them, turning off optional features such as keyboard backlighting,
and generally reducing the number of components burning power.
Also,
pay attention to hibernation modes. Ideally, you want your laptop to enter into
hibernation before the battery is totally drained – as well as during downtime
when you won’t be using the laptop for a while. Hibernation is typically a
power state where everything in working memory has been written to the hard
drive or SSD and then the laptop is turned completely off. Hibernation uses no
power, as opposed to various sleep states available with modern laptops that
use at least some power over time.
To
save even more power, take a tour of your apps and quit any that are running in
the background and steadily eating into your battery life. In Windows
computers, you can look at your System Tray, your Task Manager, and your
Processes tab to see which of those little icons really aren’t necessary. In
macOS, you can see what apps are using the most power by clicking on the
battery icon in the taskbar to the upper right and by opening the Activity
Monitor and selecting the Energy section. Cloud storage services or video
players that you aren’t using can be safely shut down. Both Microsoft and Apple
have guides explaining the process further.
And,
of course, there’s the best solution of all — don’t use your laptop on battery
power, if you don’t have to. In today’s era of long battery life, it’s easy to
forget to plug in when you come back to your desk. But that will, eventually,
shorten your battery’s lifespan.
Keeping your
battery in zone
In
ancient, less enlightened times, there was a problem called “battery memory”
that caused nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries to “forget” their full charge
capacity and start charging at lower and lower levels. This problem doesn’t
exist any longer thanks to modern lithium-ion batteries, but it has led to a
lot of poor advice and arguments about battery care based on outdated information.
It’s time to clear the air.
Contrary
to some recommendations, you don’t need to completely discharge a lithium-ion
battery and then recharge it to somehow reboot or calibrate it – this is a
destructive practice that’s very hard on your battery. Whether or not it’s a
smart idea to perform a complete discharge a couple of times a year remains an
unanswered question. Generally, the consensus seems to be that letting your
battery discharge (without bottoming it out — aim for around 20 percent) and
then charge it when possible is the best practice.
Next,
there was a time when users were advised to refrain from keeping their devices
plugged in, based on the idea that letting a battery charge to 100 percent
could wear the battery out more quickly. Today, however, modern devices are
designed to stop charging at 100 percent and thus keeping them plugged in
doesn’t impact the battery’s lifespan, according to Battery University.
As
with many battery-related questions, the issue of keeping your laptop plugged
in when it’s reached full capacity is hotly debated, and so there’s nothing
wrong with turning your machine off and unplugging it. If you’re going to store
your laptop for an extended time without using it, then discharge or charge it
to 50 percent before putting it away.
Generally
speaking, the best thing you can do for your lithium-ion battery is to avoid
letting it discharge below 20 percent. Plug it in and charge it when you can,
and then rinse and repeat. The good news is that with modern batteries and
systems there’s really not much else you need to do — except perhaps reasonably
expect that your battery will eventually start losing its overall capacity.
It’s getting hot
in here, so hide your batteries
Today’s
lithium-ion batteries are durable, but they can only take so much heat. High
temperatures can damage your laptop battery permanently, or reduce its useful
lifespan.
This
leads to some common sense suggestions. For example, if you are charging your
battery and it starts to get overly warm, perhaps because the CPU or graphics
processor is working hard or the environment is overly hot, then shut the
device down and pop the battery out if possible. Give it a break so that it can
cool down or you can move to someplace with a lower temperature. Of course,
many modern laptops have sealed batteries, in which case shutting the machine
down and letting it cool is highly recommended if maximizing the battery’s
lifespan is your concern.
Likewise,
keep the laptop off of your lap. If testicular damage and discomfort weren’t
good enough reasons, then with many machines you’re also making the problem
worse by blocking vents. You’ll want to make sure that both vents that pull in
cool air and those that expel hot air are able to do their jobs.
Finally,
and perhaps most importantly, you should avoid placing your laptop anywhere it
might become hot. That includes your car on a hot summer day, beneath a window
that gets direct sunlight, or near a space heater. Unusual conditions such as
these can do a lot of damage to a battery in a short period of time, though you
may not realize it immediately.
Cold
temperatures usually aren’t a problem down to a certain point, and storing a
battery in a cool place is recommended, but don’t leave your laptop in freezing
temperatures. Too much cold can also kill the battery permanently or reduce its
lifespan.
If
you want to watch temperature even more closely (say, you live in a
particularly hot climate), then there are a number of apps you can run that
will monitor laptop heat. This includes CoreTemp and Real Temp for Windows, which
you can download for free.
Giving your
laptop some TLC
Most
people just let their laptop battery sit, snug inside the laptop, doing its
job. But it’s a good idea to take your battery out from time to time and show
it a little love. Every few months, detach your battery and give it a careful
wipe with a soft cloth – get rid of any dust, and make sure the contact points
are especially clean.
Note
that this only replies to models with removable batteries. As laptops have
become thinner and lighter, removable batteries have become something of a
luxury. If your laptop has a sealed battery, then there’s little for you to
worry about.
Things to avoid
Want
the best battery? Here’s a quick list of bad practices.
Full
discharges: As mentioned, when a laptop battery discharges fully – forcing a
shutdown – the battery uses up a full charge cycle. The more charge cycles
consumed, the more quickly a battery will give up the ghost. Even when running
a discharge cycle, don’t let the battery drop to zero percent. Instead, stop
when your operating system warns you the battery is getting low.
Reliance
on hibernation modes: This is a similar point to the first. If you are
constantly forcing your laptop to hibernate in order to save the battery, then
you aren’t keeping your battery at the ideal percentages. Rethink your laptop
habits, or at least accept that your usage patterns will result in a battery
that won’t last quite so long.
Long
periods of inactivity: If you must leave your battery unused for long periods
of time, then make sure it has around 50 percent charge remaining. A depleted
battery can die forever if not recharged soon enough. Generally speaking,
though, keep using and properly charging your battery as long as you have it.
Hot
summer days: Obviously you can’t always avoid hot summers, but you know what
this means: keep your laptop cool. Store it indoors, avoid direct sunlight, and
keep it out of hot cars during the warmest days.
Software and
your battery
Finally,
a note about your software — keep it updated! Companies work hard to improve
the way that programs use power via software updates. The same operating system
on a later patch could use significantly less battery power, giving your
battery a longer lifespan without changing anything else. And so, review your
OS and keep your machine — and its battery — on a healthy diet of updates.
Improve Battery Lifespan
The
phone is undoubtedly an extremely powerful handset, but one of the main
weaknesses of modern devices is the lack of battery life, and any phone is no
exception.
First
we should understand the scenarios in which you would need to extend your
battery life. They would be:
1.
General day to day use.
2.
Your battery life is hovering around 30-40% and you aren’t sure if your phone
is going to make it till the next charge.
3.
You’re in a situation where you absolutely must have your phone alive, but
there is minimal battery power left, probably 1-20%.
As
you can see, those are entirely different situations, so it only makes sense
that you take different measures depending on the severity of the situation.
Turn off
background app refresh
Turning
it off will help preserve battery power, but you’ll go back to having to wait a
few seconds for your app to refresh its content when you first open it.
Pay
attention to location services
Location
services enable apps to know where you are. Sometimes there are apps that track
your location too often, draining your battery.
Turn off push
notifications
Push
notifications by itself seems pretty harmless, but it’s worth noting that every
time that your phone receives a notification, the display will turn on. So turn
off notifications for apps. Pay attention if your phone
gets too warm. Heat is always an enemy to your battery life, so try to keep
your phone out of the sun, which usually happens when left on the dashboard of
your car.
Aside
from that, heat can also be a good indicator that your phone is overworking
itself. If your phone is just in your pocket and it starts to get warm, it’s
best to check if there is a battery intensive app that is actively running and
consuming battery power.
Turn off location
services
Turn
it off and don’t use your GPS services. You’re in a situation where you
absolutely must have your phone alive, but there is minimal battery power left,
probably 1-10%.
Hopefully
this guide will help you enjoy your phone for longer periods of time.

Careful Choosing Your Phone Charger
Phone
is the most essential part of our lives, so is the charger which powers it. The
phones should only be charged with the chargers that come with it.
The
battery used in modern gadgets like phones or tablets are these batteries get
charged at a much faster pace. To get good backup from your battery there are
certain points you should keep in mind while charging your phone.
Phone
is the most essential part of our lives, so is the charger which powers it. The
phones should only be charged with the chargers that come with it. What if you
left your charger during a trip or you lost it somewhere else?
Obviously
everyone will buy a new charger from the store. Sounds easy right? While buying
a charger, you’ll find similar looking chargers all over the place but which is
the right one?
Devices
like tablets have larger batteries, which require more current. A suitable
charger delivers 2A output current which is common among all phones. Some
devices on other hand come with charger that has output current of 3A to 5A.
Charging
a phone with chargers that give less output won’t blast your battery but it
will certainly decrease the battery lifecycle. Also, the charging time will
increase by large number.
It
is recommended not to buy cheap charger from anywhere, instead go for third
party charger that is approved by your phone’s manufacturer. Fast chargers pull
extra current, which if your phone is not capable of absorbing might cause wear
and tear of the battery. Nowadays, integrated circuitry smart technology
automatically cuts off the extra charge whenever the phone gets charged beyond
its limit.
Questions and Answers for Battery Problem
1.How
could a battery drain overnight?
Batteries
can do a lot of things while we’re not looking. The most common way a battery
will drain overnight is by leaving a light on or a power adapter plugged in,
zapping all your battery power while you’re fast asleep.
Your
battery can also drain overnight if there are faulty electrical components or
wiring. If this might be the case, let us check it out so we can resolve the
problem and get you rolling again.
2.What
factors will affect the life of my battery?
So,
you want to know if your battery will last three years or, better yet, five
years, eh? Well, that all depends on your habits, plus the year-round climate
in your area. Extreme temperatures kill batteries. A lot of times, waiting
until the deep freeze of winter to replace your battery is often too late. The
cold weather could pretty much make that heat worn battery dead on arrival. Find
your region. Discover the average battery life.
3.What
are the warning signs that my alternator is failing?
“If
I only knew sooner”. We’ve all been there before. Fortunately, there are
various indications and symptoms that your battery may need replacement:
Low
battery fluid level: Batteries typically have a part of the casing that’s
translucent so you can always keep an eye on your battery’s fluid level. You
can also inspect it by removing the red and black caps if they are not sealed.
The
swelling, bloating battery case: If your battery casing looks like it ate a
very large meal, this could indicate a battery gone bad. You can blame
excessive heat for causing your battery case to swell, decreasing your battery
life.
Three
years battery age is considered an old timer: Your battery can last well beyond
three years but, at the very least, have its current condition inspected on a
yearly basis when it reaches the three year mark. Battery life cycles range
from three-to-five years depending on the battery. However, driving habits,
weather and frequent short trips can drastically shorten the actual life of
your battery.

How to remove bloatware and preinstalled Android apps
Not all preinstalled apps on your
smartphone will be of use to you. By removing apps you don't want or need,
you'll be able to improve your phone's performance and free up storage space.
Apps you don't need but cannot uninstall are called bloatware. With our tips,
you can delete, remove, disable, or at least hide your preinstalled apps and
bloatware.
What
is Bloatware?
Bloatware is an informal term for software
that is packed with too many features and therefore slow or inefficient.
Bloatware is often commercial software that is preinstalled on a device by the
manufacturer, whether it's useful or not, and tends to waste memory and
resources.
Most users never touch a lot of
pe-installed apps on their new phone, but rather than leave them there wasting
precious computing power and slowing down your phone, it's best to remove or at
least disable them, and this guide will show you how.
Disabling
bloatware: general guidance
Many apps continue to consume resources
while they’re not in active use. They also take up space in the app drawer.
Since Android 4.0, however, there has been the option to disable apps.
Head to Settings > Apps/Applications.
Here, on most phones, you will find three
tabs: All Apps, Disabled, and Enabled.
By tapping on this or that app, you will
notice that some apps can be uninstalled. This applies to apps you may have
downloaded yourself but there will also be unnecessary bloatware that you can
remove.
Some apps cannot be uninstalled or disabled
(the Settings app, for example). These applications are essential for Android
to run properly.
Anything that does not fall into one of
these two categories can usually be disabled, unless it is on a protected
system partition (some manufacturers deliberately do this with their apps).
Some apps, as with TalkBack in the next
screenshot, you can disable, but there is also the option to Uninstall Updates,
which will reset the app to its factory state.
Or, if you use a third-party app for
emails, you can make the default email app on Android disappear. When disabling
an app, the system warns you that some programs might not work properly
afterwards. This refers to applications that rely on the app in question to
function normally.
Should you change your mind, you can return
to the app list and reverse the process. Every application will continue to be
listed there, even if it is invisible in the app drawer. Although the layout
can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer's OS, the process is very
similar on most smartphones. Below you can learn how easy it is to uninstall
Samsung apps.
How
to delete or disable Samsung's preinstalled apps
Samsung's UI deviates from stock Android in
a few ways, and it comes with an alternative process to disable apps:
Simply open the App Drawer
Then long press on any app to bring up a
bubble that will allow you to disable the app, or uninstall if possible.
A disabled app will no longer run in the
background and will not receive any updates, eliminating unnecessary drain on
resources.
How
to delete preinstalled apps
It can be frustrating when you really want
to delete an app but the system only lets you disable it. If you really know
what you're doing, there's a way to get complete control over your phone's
software.
If you are not afraid of voiding your
warranty, and getting rid of apps like Samsung Pay, you can also root your
device. Then you can completely uninstall any app. System app remover (ROOT)
helps you do just that. However, be warned
- by doing this it might make any number of other apps stop functioning properly.
What
happens if I disable Android apps?
Once disabled, the apps disappear from your
app drawer, stop receiving updates and no longer run silently in the
background. In addition, any apps that depend on the disabled app will stop
working. Should you disable Google Play Services, for example, several system
applications will go down and, more than likely, a few apps that are not
directly related to Google will start to behave erratically.
It is therefore important to have a
reliably researched list of apps that do not cause collateral damage when you
disable them. The above list is incomplete, and will remain that way without
your help. Therefore, we invite you to share your experiences with deactivated
apps in the comments.
Uninstall
tons of apps
We are all guilty of being at least a
little lazy when it comes to cleaning up our smartphones. Apps that we no
longer use can quickly accumulate out of sight. Uninstalling individual apps
through the Play Store is time consuming, so it is more practical to remove a
load all at once. In our guide, we have summarized how multiple applications
can be deleted at once using the free app ES File Explorer.
Improve phone's battery life
Battery life is a perennial problem for phone users. While our handsets have become faster and more powerful over the years, phone batteries often last less than a day under heavy use, or even moderate use after a few months. Most people complain that their phone's battery doesn't last long before it dies. This is due to improper usage of the battery after it is bought. On this post I will be showing you how to use your battery in a way that increases its life span.
Most batteries have a guaranteed life span. To ensure longer life span of your battery use the following methods:
1. Make sure or phone charges to 100%
2. After that use it till the battery gets exhausted before charging again.
3. Do not make use of your phone while it is charging, so as to enable it charge properly.
4. Do not use your phone till it heats up. When it does, close whatever app that's making it to heat up and allow it to cool down before using it again.
Using the steps above, you give your battery a longer life span. The upgrades we've got in phones are major reflections of this growth. They're getting bigger,
slimmer, light and eventually more smarter. But, the heart of this device is always a concern......
So take care of your batteries!

What to Do When Your iPhone or iPad Isn’t Charging Properly
An iPhone that won’t charge properly is more
than a little bit frustrating. Before you tear your hair out, take a stroll
down out troubleshooting checklist to rule out common causes of charging
problems—and, fingers crossed, resolve your issue without sending your phone in
for service.
There are a variety of issues that can cause
problems when charging your iPhone or iPad, ranging from the easily-solved to
the requires-Apple-service. Thankfully, in our experience, the problem is
almost always a varying degree of easily-solved. Here are the first things you
should try.
Clean Your Lightning Port
We really love the Lighting connector design:
there’s no wrong way to put the cable in, it’s very difficult to damage the
port itself, and the cable connector is very resistant to damage. The design of
the Lightning port, however, does really make it an irresistible crevice for
lint and debris to accumulate—especially if you carry your phone in your pocket
every day.
Eventually, enough crud can build up in the
port that when you insert the lightning cable you’ll fail to see the phone
switch over to charging mode. After unplugging it and plugging it back in a few
times, you might notice that it starts charging, but all you’ve succeed in
doing—if debris is your problem—is packing that lint in tighter. Eventually the
plug-and-replug technique won’t work, because you’ll have reached maximum
compaction. How do we know? Because, although it took a little over 2 years and
a few painful months of on and off charging issues, we eventually cleaned out
our Lightning port which led to complete resolution of our charging problems.
Check Your Charging Block
If your Lightning port is squeaky clean (or,
filthy or not, cleaning it failed to resolve your charging issue) the next
culprit to investigate is the charger itself. Not all chargers are created
equal and newer iPhones (and iPads, even more so) are both picky about their
power sources and power hungry.
The best bet is to try charging your device
with the official Apple charger that came with it. The second best bet is to
try charging with high quality charger that meets or exceeds the quality and
specifications of the Apple charger. Don’t bother running your test with a weak
USB charger left over from a phone you owned 10 years ago—there’s a good chance
that it’s significantly under powered for the task of charging a modern phone
(and almost definitely underpowered for charging an iPad—remember, iPads
require more power to charge!).
Inspect Your Cable
If your charger seems to up to snuff but
you’re still having problems, your issue may lie with the cable itself. After
hundreds of plugging and unplugging sessions even the best of cables starts to
show a little wear and tear. Further, Lightning cables need to be certified by
Apple.
Contact Apple for Support Options
If your port is now clean, your charger is up
to snuff (and can charge other devices), and the cables you tested can charge
your other Lighting-connector-devices just fine, then you’ve reached the end of
the troubleshooting line, and there’s a very good chance there is a problem
with your iPhone’s hardware.
Although the metal-body construction of the
iPhone and the design of the Lightning port makes it less likely to get a
detached or otherwise damaged port (say, compared to a plastic body phone with
a cheaper connector) it’s not unheard of. It’s possible there is some internal
issue with your iPhone, like the tiny connection points between the contacts in
the port and the circuit board in the phone are damaged, and your only
warranty-preserving option is contacting Apple to get your phone replaced or
repaired by an authorized service provider.
How Batteries Work
Batteries have three parts, an anode (-), a
cathode (+), and the electrolyte. The cathode and anode are hooked up to an
electrical circuit. Electricity, as you probably already know, is the flow of
electrons through a conductive path like a wire. This path is called a circuit.
The chemical reactions in the battery causes
a build up of electrons at the anode. This results in an electrical difference
between the anode and the cathode. You can think of this difference as an
unstable build-up of the electrons. The electrons wants to rearrange themselves
to get rid of this difference. But they do this in a certain way. Electrons
repel each other and try to go to a place with fewer electrons.
In a battery, the only place to go is to the
cathode. But, the electrolyte keeps the electrons from going straight from the
anode to the cathode within the battery. When the circuit is closed the
electrons will be able to get to the cathode. In the picture above, the
electrons go through the wire, lighting the light bulb along the way. This is
one way of describing how electrical potential causes electrons to flow through
the circuit. However, these electrochemical processes change the chemicals in
anode and cathode to make them stop supplying electrons. So there is a limited
amount of power available in a battery.
When you recharge a battery, you change the
direction of the flow of electrons using another power source, such as solar
panels. The electrochemical processes happen in reverse, and the anode and
cathode are restored to their original state and can again provide full power.
