Always keep the phone in cool positions
Most Blackberry lovers opt for the brand because it is much more durable than most other smartphones, however, while it possess these advantages, it is important that users take extra caution towards guarding it against possible malfunction. Prolonged exposure to heat either from sunlight and placing the phone next to the skin or areas with high moisture, can damage both the battery and the screen. Always keep the phone is cool environment and away from airtight corners. For instance, rather than stuff it into a tight pocket where it might get sweaty, put in in a handbag, wallet or carry-on.
Charge properly
Most people charge their phones more than necessary and this does greater harm than good. Usually, it is best to leave your phone till the battery is between 5 to 20 percent before charging. Constantly plugging the phone to a power source at random affects the battery function eventually, leading to overheating. While charging your phone, ensure that the cords are well connected, and refrain from using the phone while the battery is boosting. It is even best to fully charge the device at night when the battery has run down, as there is a higher chance you will not be interrupting the charging process.
Close down unwanted functions
The Blackberry passport allows for so many functions that if all of the apps are left running even when not in use, they will over work the phone’s operating system, drain its battery and cause the device to overheat. Disable some functions including vibration notifications, WiFi orBluetooth connections until you are ready to use them.
Try using the Coolify app
