Do You Turn Off Your Phone Regularly?

[Norpemni]

I wouldn't try that.

 

[Linda Barnes]

I only turn off my phone when it's battery is slow

 

[gameDNAstudio]

Only occasional reboot

I came here looking into how long and how often to power down my cell phone. All the responses I've read so far say they don't do it.

I bought an LG G5 in December and it comes with something called Smart Doctor and it gives you advice re how you're using it. For example, I never let the phone completely die before recharging and a msg popped up telling me that I'm using it properly.

I had a msg pop up a while back telling me that I haven't turned off the phone yet. I read the manual and it doesn't say why (I assumed to refresh RAM,...), how long or how often.

Still wondering as I've seen the same answers on 2 different sites already. Maybe I'll have to contact LG for the answer. If I actually get one, I will try to remember to post here.

Take care...Sue

I never turn my phone off. Every few months I might reboot it but even then it's only because of necessity.

 

[Almeuit]

I reboot once a week. That's about it.

 

[Morty2264]

Probably once a week/every other week, or if I'm at the movies, etc.

Im with @Almeuit, only restart my phone once a week. Otherwise, its either put on silent or i turn off Wi-Fi and Cellular when I'm sleeping. While the boot time isn't very long, just rather have the device ready to go straight away

Also, every time the phone is rebooted all the application in memory will now take a little long to boot up.

I turn off my WiFi while I sleep too! Lol.

Only to replace the battery. That ends up being about once every other week, since I carry two spares in my wallet.
I just leave it on the wireless Qi charging pad at work or at home and thats really all I need.

 

[ab304945]

U nvr turn mine off.

I do have it set to automatically restart it once a week.

Good to know I'm not alone!
I have to, otherwise i will wake up and check messages which isn't good haha

So it's either completely off or i turn Wi-Fi and Cellular off to keep my phone quite which means a peaceful nights sleep.

Yup - that's one reason why I turn my data off! And then there are times when I turn it on at 2 AM to check my notifications LOOL.

That's a pretty awesome feat!

Lol yeah. I sleep like a rock. My gf gets up before me and has her iPhone do the obnoxious alarm really loud but I don't wake up.

My boyfriend's iPhone alarm wakes me up every time! But to be fair, he sleeps like a rock whereas I'm more easily awakened.

 

[srkmagnus]

I reboot regularly. Most the time it's no less than once a week; however, I will reboot midweek if I feel something is off.

 

[wenso smith]

I will Reboot a phone once in a week..

 

[LeoRex]

I reboot my phone on a fairly regular basis, but that is mostly due to the fact that I am always fussing with something and need a reboot to either enable it or clear it.
