7 Ways to Extend the Battery Life of Your Tablet
Written By Micah on Friday, April 3, 2015 | 1:21 PM
Ever wish the battery life of your tablet would run for as long as it claimed to in the product description when you first purchased it? Of course these claims are not simply marketing schemes to get you to buy the product. With a little effort on your part, you can definitely get your tablet to run for much longer between each charge session.
For instance, the Samsung NOOK includes the impressive spec of 10 hours of video streaming. As video streaming consumes much more energy than putting on the music player for 50 hours straight, there are certainly ways to help your battery life last all day.
- Monitor your battery life
The first step to extending your battery life should be figuring out how much you’re consuming and where. There are free applications you can download from the app store that will allow you to monitor your battery use throughout the day. By doing so, you can target the specific trade-offs you are personally willing to make to conserve energy.
- Don’t just turn off your data
A lot of people turn off their data connections when not in use because of two main reasons: first, limited phone data plans that they don’t want to exceed, and second, the conservation of battery life.
What you don’t know is how much energy you’ll be saving by turning off the WiFi. By keeping your WiFi settings on, your device is constantly looking for a WiFi signal and wasting away battery life. It doesn’t often occur to most people to turn it off because it’s free and accessible everywhere you go. The same simple trick goes for dimming your screen brightness.
- Charge it right
Don’t be impatient with your tablet when it comes to charging. If you weren’t able to use up all your battery life during the day, don’t charge it just because you want it to be at 100 percent when you next leave the house. It’s important to wait until your battery runs as low as 10 percent or under because this will help kick start your battery again for optimal performance. If you’re going to be out and about, it might be handy to pick up a portable charger so you can charge your tablet on the go and when in need.
That being said, there is also such a thing as overcharging your tablet. Once your battery life hits 100 percent, leaving it to charge any longer actually decreases your battery capacity–meaning your battery life could be permanently shortened. This is one of the reasons your first charge took much longer than expected when you first bought the tablet.
- Install upgrades
This one seems a little less obvious in terms of extending your tablet battery life, but certainly helps in the long run. By installing upgrades you get for your tablet, you are not only getting bug fixes but potentially battery life fixes for certain applications that you run often. This is however, not to be confused with automatic updates. Turning off automatic updates can extend your battery life like turning off WiFi can.
- Try using a keyboard
According to TabTimes, the tablet authorities, using a keyboard can extend your tablet battery life up to 9 hours. If you’re constantly working on the go, it’s likely easier to type on a keyboard than your tablet touchscreen. Having said that, it might also be worth noting any activity that uses your touchscreen actively also drains battery life rather quickly. For example, interactive games and constant swiping etc.
- Don’t let it suffer from heatstroke
Like you, your tablet, or any other electronic device for that matter, is not fond of excessive heat. Not only is it dangerous to leave your tablet in a hot environment, this can also damage the battery permanently. Some common places people tend to leave their tablets unattended are their cars which tend to get quite warm–especially in the summer. So don’t forget to keep your tablet at room temperature.
- Stop running and uninstall apps you don’t use
This is one of those things that sounds obvious but hardly done. A lot of the time we’re reluctant to approach anything messy. For example, the number of us that have disorganized desktops is uncanny. To extend your battery life, take several minutes between checking emails to clear out everything including the Candy Crush app you no longer play.
If you take a few easy steps, you can keep your tablet’s battery from dying before its time. You’ll be able to enjoy your device longer, whether you’re playing games or watching movies. In the end, your tablet will work more efficiently than ever before.
5 Reasons Why You Should Have A Tablet
Written By Micah on Sunday, February 8, 2015 | 10:12 PM
The tablet computer industry is huge and it is amazing to think that it is only a handful of years since the iPad hit the shelves and revolutionized the market. Now, there are a whole host of companies that have produced their very own version and it is difficult to imagine a world without them. There is no doubt that they have a serious role to play in society and if you do not believe it, then there are a number of reasons that may convince you otherwise.
* They Are More Powerful Than The Oldest Laptops.
This is a sign of how far technology has come as the modern day tablet is now capable of doing far more than the older laptops that some people are still using. They are faster, they can store more, they have more memory, and the display is also far superior, so if you need to choose between the two, then the tablet is the winner.
* They Are Great For Entertainment Purposes.
We love to be entertained on the move and the tablet is able to do this in a pretty spectacular way. Thanks to the hardware it means you can play movies without it lagging and you are also not going to be stuck to the one spot either. They are light, cases prop them up at a more convenient angle, and overall they are just a better all-round entertainment centre.
* They Are Cheaper Than A Laptop.
Unless you have a specific reason for using a laptop, the tablet is the cheaper option, so it is perfect for people on a budget. When you then consider that they can do pretty much everything that a laptop can do, then you have to sit and wonder why on earth you would purchase the laptop in the first place?
* They Are Perfect For Those On The Move.
You have to remember that the tablet is much lighter than a laptop, so for those on the move they are by far and away the best option. The fact that they also connect to Wi-Fi without any problems is another major advantage and they can fit easily into your bag without any problems. In other words, they are the most portable type of computer on the market.
* They Are More Reliable.
One amazing feature of the tablet computer is that they are far more reliable than any other type of computer and they very rarely crash. Everybody knows how annoying this can be with a laptop, so knowing that it very rarely happens with this is a major bonus. It is also true that people do not use tablets for the same reasons as laptops, so if it does crash it is often less of a big deal. However, with modern technology, reliability is everything and the tablet is the master at it.
So our reasons for buying a tablet are;
- They are more powerful than laptops.
- They are the best option for entertainment.
- They are cheaper than laptops.
- They are the best option for those on the move.
- They are very reliable.
If you have never used a tablet computer, then you are missing out. This is a wonderful piece of technology and it is one that has been embraced around the world. As technology gets even better we can expect it to do even more and that certainly makes for an interesting future.

Do You Want To Buy A Tablet? Here Is What You Need To Know!
Written By Micah on Sunday, December 7, 2014 | 8:44 PM
People usually tend to keep their tablets longer than they keep their smartphones, so this is why you should think wisely before you buy one. One of the main things you should first consider is to see if the tablet comes with better features than your smartphone and if it is worth buying it.
Even if you have, for example, an Android smartphone, we suggest you to stick to an Android tablet instead of getting an iPad from Apple. At the same time, if you have an iPhone, you should stick to the iPads. The reason you want to do have the same operating system on both of the devices is because that will help you a lot in transferring files and settings from each other and if you buy an application you can share it with the other device, which is quite nice.
Here are some tips that will help you when purchasing a tablet
iPads
iPads were and still are some of the top tablets. If you already have an iPhone and you’re considering buying a tablet, then we suggest you to go for an iPad with your eyes closed. You will be able to start writing an email on your iPhone and finish it on the iPad or vice-versa. In addition, you will be able to make phone calls from your iPad if your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
However, there is a downside in this deal, as you will pay around 500 dollars for the latest iPad Air 2, while many other Androids tablets are way cheaper. For the 500 dollars, you will still get a quite skinny and light device which features fingerprint sensor, 8MP camera and many more.
If you don’t have too much money to waste on a tablet, we suggest you to get the iPad Mini 2 (which got released in 2013) for around 300 dollars, as this year’s iPad Mini 3 doesn’t come with many improvements. The only improvements that iPad Mini 3 came with are the fingerprint capability and ability to use Apple Pay.
Also, if you need more internal memory and if you can afford to spend extra 100 dollars, you can get the 64GB internal storage over the 16GB variant or if you can spend 200 more dollars, you can get the 128GB internal memory variant.
Android tablets
While the Android tablets and phones don’t let you switch between them when writing an email, they are worth buying if you have an Android device. This way, you can buy an application for your Android phone and still be able to use the same paid application your Android tablet, as you will login with the same account.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S is one of the best Android tablets out there. The big sized variant of Samsung Galaxy Tab S can be bought for 500 dollars and the smaller variant will cost you around 400 dollars.
If you aim to get a small and cheap tablet, you can go for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 4, which is a 7inch tablet that costs around 180 dollars.
Another variant is the new Google’s Nexus 9, which comes with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop and can be bought for around 400 dollars and it features the Google Wallet that allows you to use the in-store mobile payments.
Windows tablets
Most of the Windows tablets are just laptops with a detachable keyboard. One of the tablets you can purchase is the Surface Pro 3. You will be able to use the touch screen on it and for an additional 130 dollars you will be able to get a keyboard cover.
The Surface Pro price starts at 800 dollars, but if you pick up better configuration, you will pay up to 1950 dollars. What’s nice with the Windows tablets is that you can use Windows supported programs such as Photoshop, Office Word or Office Excel.
Viber – How to Download and Install on your Android Tablet
Written By Micah on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 | 9:15 PM
Viber is a leading VoIP service provider given its unique free calling rates all over the world within its network.
It does not require subscription, once downloaded from the internet stores. Android device users can obtain genuine Viber application from the Google Play Store.
What you need to Install Viber
Your tablet must have an Android operating system running in it in order to support Viber. You also have to log in using your Gmail account. If you do not have one, you can sign up. It is free and does not consume a lot of time to process your account.
The other requirement is internet connectivity. Ensure that you have a working Wi-Fi connection or either 3G or 4G network.
Use the command keys to install Viber once you download it. Viber can only be run on one operating system at a time. It will require your phone number to register you to its server. You do not have to go through lengthy requirements of providing your email address in order to verify your account details.
Viber automatically detects your number from your Gmail account and it will enter it before you confirm, if it is really the one you provided to Gmail. If you accept that the number is yours, then Viber will go ahead and generate a secret activation code that will be set to your phone number by short message service. Key in the code you receive, in order to activate your Viber account.
Successful completion of activation process will grant you the permission to connect with other Viber users by using your tablet. The friends who already use Viber will be highlighted on the contact list for you to select the ones you want to add to your Viber list and start chatting.
Tablet users normally have sufficient memory space in their gadgets and are not likely to have storage problems while installing Viber. Viber version 4.0 and other versions require about 500MB of RAM to run all its features smoothly on your tablet. There is another version of Viber 5.0.2.12 that only requires 29MB to run and can be used in smartphones and tablets which have limited storage capacities.
Viber has optimized various versions for different tablet makes and models. Pick the one that suits your uses in order to get the best performance.
Running Viber on your Android Tab
If you have used Viber on your smartphone or PC then it will be a smooth sail for you when using it on the tablet. Viber enables you to be in touch with other Viber users worldwide, by automatically synchronizing your entire phonebook so that you seamlessly access your contacts whenever you need them.
Your Viber profile will receive real-time updates once you start a conversation with other users. All you need is to connect your tablet with mobile phone network such as 2G and 3G or even 4G if it is available. Alternatively, you can link up Viber with Wi-Fi for faster connectivity.
Free calls do not apply to users outside Viber network. If you try to call them, the network will disconnect the call and offer you a link to connect the call to your local mobile service provider. This will of course be costlier than the free Viber calls. You need to have a wide Viber contact list in order to enjoy free voice and video calls.
Viber launched the ViberOut feature that enables users to make calls to users outside the Viber network. Unlike making calls within the network that is free, these calls will attract nominal charges, usually in the form of credits that are available for purchase from the official Viber website.

5 Tips and Tricks for Speeding Up your Android Tablet Performance
Written By Unknown on Saturday, November 22, 2014 | 2:57 AM
No matter what mobile device you have, either smartphone or
tablet, they will become slower with the passage of time. There are several
reasons for this phenomenon, and if you have slow speed problem with your
Android tablet, the following tips will help to get your Android tablet back
into tip-top shape.
1.
Uninstall unused apps
Many apps in your android system can remain idle. These will clog up the system memory, which in turn affect the speed. So if you have unused apps, uninstalling them will clear up the memory and improve the speed of your tablet.

uninstall apps on Android phone
2.
Reduce the number of widgets in
the home screen
The benefit of using widgets is that they can help us to quickly find information or do a certain task without having to open an app, but at the same time they can drain your battery life and slow down your tablet’s performance.
Reducing the
number of widgets will help your tablet run more smoothly and last longer. You can remove
widgets from the home screen by long-pressing the one you wish to delete and
dragging it to the top of the screen.
3.
Use normal wallpaper instead of
live wallpaper
Just like widgets, live wallpaper will slow down your device. So if you want to speed up the performance of your Android tablet, use normal wallpaper and avoid any kind of live wallpaper.
4.
Clear app cache files
Cached data can build up over time in your applications and affect the performance of your device. To avoid this, you can clear up cache files in the settings menu of each app. However, if you have many apps, that will take time to clean your app cache manually.
In this case, you
can use app cache cleaner to automate the process. Some of the most popular
ones include App Cache Cleaner and Clean Master, both of which are
available for free in Google Play Store.
5.
Disable animations
Disabling animations will greatly boost the speed of your tablet. To do that, go to Settings >Developer options and scroll down to Drawing options. Individually turn off the Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animation duration scale. This will disable animations on your device so when you open folders or launch apps, they will load immediately rather than animate.
