How To Improve Cell Phone Talk Time And Standby Time

Think your cell phone doesn't provide enough juice for your busy life? There are simple tricks to improve standby and talk time and increase energy efficiency.

1. Reduce sound quality: If you are willing to reduce your sound quality, most GSM phones and some CDMA phones will allow you to switch to a lower data rate. Check out your phone's owner's manual for voice codec or general phone settings.
2. Turn-off the lights: Most cell phones allow you to shorten the delay for which the display stays on. Shorten it and improve your talk and standby time.
3. Be efficient: Make sure you follow the tips to boost your cell phone signal. A weak cell phone signal may lead some phones to increase the power at which they emit, thus increasing power consumption.
