Back up important photos and documents downloaded on your smartphone
This is actually pretty common knowledge, not only for smartphone-users, but also for computer users alike. The term always save up before you proceed is a normally saying for people on certain projects, tasks or home works. Theres nothing like the feeling of dread, felt when your PC or Mac hangs in a middle of work, while you haven’t actually saved yet (ah. good times, good times), and this actually applies on smartphone documents and images as well. unexpected errors or circumstances that would require you to either hard reset your phone, is always a possibility, so having a few backed up images would keep you in the game, despite that minor step back. I have had situations wherein important documents regarding school was saved to my phone, since i was always in a hurry. And sudden errors on my device force me to hard reset my device, which is a total bummer, since i’ll be using those precious, precious documents. So, don’t be like me and try to always have a few back ups.

Truth be told i’m actually guilty of not patronising this particular tip, since i really don’t have the time to get things organised, and also because i’m not an overall organised person (don’t judge me). but i can’t hide the fact that organising your apps is truly quite impactful.

Path your downloaded Mp3’s on your device’s internal storage place
This is literally something i came out with just now, from certain experiences in the past, i think that its best to path your mp3’s on your phone’s internal storage, instead of the microSD one, though it may sound unreasonable, since probably the reason you bought the microSD card in the first place is to have a bigger storage for your tunes, but trust, its all gonna be worth it. Been there, done that, i had enough of scenarios wherein my microSD card will get messed up and i had to clean the storage, removing all possible mp3’s on the process, which is pretty saddening and dreadful, if you love your tunes as much as i do. Though, i do still use my microSD card for certain downloads that aren’t exactly as important, or for movie or video mp4’s, which actually, i don’t mind in losing.
