Batteries

[grayestofghosts]

A significant portion of modern life nowadays seems to be just making sure that all one's devices are adequately charged.

My new phone has no headphone jack, so I have some bluetooth earbuds to go alone with them so I don't need to use the headphone adapter that goes into the charging port. However, using bluetooth wears down the battery very quickly and makes the phone extremely slow to charge while using the earbuds. What was the point of this, again?

Anyway, I resubmitted a piece after it was rejected. Slowly getting back onto this horse.

Some days I have to charge the phone and then the Kindle and it does seem endless! Yes bluetooth is a battery drain; it sucks that your phone doesn't have a headphone jack. I had to hunt a lot to find a pair of decent headphones (I don't get on with earbuds) with a headphone jack for my phone - which I needed because the microphone no longer works unless I use the speakerphone, and I can't afford a new phone right now. So other connections seem to be the norm and of course bluetooth despite the need for more frequent charging!

Yay you for resubmitting! Fingers crossed :D

Yes, I have the phone, the tablet, the earbuds now, and then my kindle (which often doesn't get charged) but... Jeez, it really is a lot.
