Re: OT: cell phones

But Cathy, you can disable the bluetooth if you are not using it.  Mine has
that capability, but I don't want or use it so I disable it. There are
several things you can do that will save your battery life...one of them is
to limit the amount of light your phone uses...like when you open it, the
light pops on.  You can shorten that light time.  My husband didn't know
that, and his phone light was on all the time and he was having to charge
his phone every day.  I showed him how to change that and he doesn't have
that problem anymore.
