Tips to select and buy a suitable mobile phone

There are many brands and hundreds of models to chose from while buying a mobile phone. Most of the times it becomes very confusing to select the best and most suitable handset according to our likes and dislikes.

You can end up being more than happy if you follow our simple tips while buying. So keep in mind these basic things before buying a handset.

These are the main points to remember BEFORE buying:

Cost

The most important factor is to fix a budget and the price to which you can streach without digging your pockets too deep.

Type

Bar, sliding or flip. I will always suggest a bar phone.

Technical Specifications

You may want to buy a basic and simple phone just to receive and make calls or select a phone loaded with features.

For a simple phone always look out for good interface, clear display, usability, and whether it is strong enough to last atleast a year or two.

If you are buying a high-end phone, then first know all the specifications like operating system(Symbian,Linux, Windows, Android, etc), screen size, camera(megapixels, optical zoom,etc), Wi-Fi, support for MS-office and pdf files, etc. Also it should have a good email client.

Other fetures

You should also check the basic features first hand like voice reception and transmission, speakerphone, comfort in using keypad/keyboard, games(For freaks), etc.

Storage

The phone should have enough internal memory as well as support MMC cards so that you can store as much files and multimedia as needed.

Also the processor or the CPU should be strong enough is to ensure that your device gives good performanceand doesnt hang or freeze.

Battery

Always make sure the phone has a long talk time and standby time.

NOTE: The best way to review a phone is to ask a friend or a collegue who is using the same model which you are planning to buy and use it yourself for atleast 15 minutes.

Tips to maintain mobile phones.

Taking care of your cell phone will help to ensure it a long and productive life. These are some of the tips to help you maintain and get the best out of your mobile phone. All these tips also expect you to maintain the battery, charger and other accessories.

1. Protect your handset with a screen guard and if possible with a plastic or a leather cover.
2. You can charge your battery anytime as against myths that you should first get it fully drained. This was when Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydrate batteries were used. Only ensure that you use an original and genuine battery and charger or a compatible one. Be extra cautious with all the accessories whether they are genuine or not as an incompatible one can damage your phone permanently.
3. Always enable the PIN number on your SIM Card and phone lock i.e security code on your phone to prevent unauthorized use.
4. Always handle your cell phone with care. Rough treatment may damage the circuit board inside, so avoid dropping or unnecessarily shaking your phone.
5. To clean your cell phone just wipe it with a soft cloth. If need arises, you can use a mild detergent to clean the caver.
   But see to it that the detergent does not get into the phone through the holes.
6. Always keep your phone in a cool, dry place and avoid high temperature areas. Be extra cautious to protect you phone during rain.
7. Also keep your phone out of reach of your children. Your data may be more important than your handset.

Manners and etiquettes of using mobile phones

The mobilephone industry wants all people to enjoy the benefits of mobile telecommunications but at the same time it expects them to use their mobiles in a responsible way.

1. When in doubt, always go out of the room/hall.
   When possible go outside or to another room to make your call if your call might disturb others. You can also use features such as text messaging answering services, call diversion and vibration alert,etc to receive important calls without disturbing others.
2. If you can't turn it off, keep it on silent mode
   If you need to keep your phone on for important calls, then turn it to silent or vibration mode. It's the ringtone of a mobile phone in inappropriate places which annoys and irritates people the most.
3. When required turn your phone off and also check if it's off.
   There are some places where people should never talk on a mobile phone or send text messages and where the ringing of a cell phone is considered highly unacceptable. In these cases, turn your phone off and remember to check it's off before you enter the venue.
4. Keep your conversations private
   People's sense of personal space varies in each situation. Making a call in a busy place may be okay, but talking loudly in a confined space like a lift or on a train tends to disturb people.
5. Speak softly
   Always speak softly so as not to disturb others. People can hear you even if you speak in soft voice.

How To Repair A Water Damaged Cell Phone

Learn how to save your cell phone when it gets water-logged. The next time when your get your cell phone soaked in water, tea or coffee, just remember and follow these simple and easy first aid measures. You will be more than happy and surprised to see your priceless mobile phone or ipod in working condition. You won't get frustrated of running around repair centers if you follow these simple tips.

Most people don't know the basic steps to avoid a wet cellular phone from getting damaged. The most important thing is to follow the procedure to avoid damages to the circuit board (PCB) of the cell phone as it is what an engine is to a car. Preventing damage to the PCB should be the main aim as you lose warranty on the handset due to water-logging and in such cases most of the service centers don't provide a new circuit board and it is also not available in the open market.

Steps to repair and fix a water damaged cell-phone:

• Remove the battery immediately and don't just switch-off the handset. The removing of the battery is a must.
• Now dismantle your cell phone carefully. To open your cell phone you need a torx T6 size screw driver and a tweezer. Remember the steps how you opened the phone as you will have to assemble it later!
• Dry the green coloured circuit board carefully and completely. Use a hair drier or you can also dry it in sunlight or on the top of a TV or a computer monitor.
• Dry the spare parts and components carefully. Be careful with the LCD as it is very delicate.
• Clean the circuit board with spirit using a brush. This prevents corrosion on the PCB.

Now re-assemble your phone carefully and if all goes well, your cell phone should switch on without any hassles. If it fails to switch on, charge your handset and try again. If it doesn't switch on now, luck is not on your side. You will have to get your phone repaired at a service center.

NOTE: If you are scared or not sure how to open your cell phone and follow these steps, don't go ahead to repair the phone yourself. You are more likely to damage the handset further. Just remove the battery and let a professional cell phone repair engineer do the needful.

Mobile Phone Virus Protection

What is a mobile phone virus?

A mobile phone virus is similar to a computer virus. You all know what a computer does and what those viruses are capable of. A mobile phone virus is specially designed for it and it spreads from one vulnerable cell phone to another.

Viruses now-a-days are quite advanced than the initial periods of its history in cell phones. They can corrupt your important data or simply erase it, if it has infected your phone. The latest viruses are capable of sending fake messages or even spreading by itself through the mode of bluetooth. The current security risk has increased to a considerable level than it used to be 4-5 years back.

Today many smart phones or PDAs are in use, and users of these phones are regularly exchanging executable or other vulnerable files increasing the risk of being infected. The cellular industry takes the threat of viruses very seriously and is continually monitoring its networks and working to protect users from any future risk from new viruses.

Common modes of spreading of viruses:

• Bluetooth
• MMC Card
• Internet

How to protect your phone from viruses:

1. Always keep your bluetooth switched-off unless required. Or it is preferable to keep your handset to hidden mode unless you need it to be visible.
2. by chance you have forgotten to switch-off your bluetooth, remember not to open any bluetooth messages or files sent by a stranger or an unknown source. They are most likely viruses.
3. Only download content from trusted sources. Trusted sources include operator portals and other well-known websites that offer adequate protection against viruses.
4. Always install an anti-virus software in your phone. Do not forget to keep it updated as new viruses and threats always arise.
5. Never lend your memory card to anyone. It might get infected if the person to whom you have lent you MMC has infected his phone and he/she inserts your card in his phone. Also remember not to insert someone else's MMC in your handset since there are chances of his MMC containing a virus or malware.
