How to Make Your Phone Charge Faster Without Buying Anything

Everyone wants their phone to charge faster, but not everyone wants to buy a new charger or upgrade their device. The good news? There are simple adjustments you can make right now to improve charging speed—no spending required.

Switch to Airplane Mode

Enabling Airplane Mode reduces background activity like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular signal searching. This lowers battery usage and allows your phone to focus entirely on charging.

Close All Background Apps

Multiple open apps—even if they’re not in use—consume power. Before plugging in, close unnecessary apps to minimize power drain while charging.

Use a Wall Socket (Not USB)

Charging from a laptop or power bank often provides lower output compared to a wall socket. If you want faster results, plug your charger directly into a wall outlet.

Remove the Case

Some phone cases can trap heat. Excess heat slows down charging speed and can reduce battery health. If your phone gets warm during charging, remove the case to improve efficiency.

Don’t Use the Phone While Charging

Using your phone during charging increases power usage, especially with video streaming or gaming. For faster results, let your phone rest.

These adjustments might seem minor, but combined, they can noticeably improve how quickly your phone reaches 100%.


If your phone is still charging slowly after trying these tips, it might be a hardware issue. Check this post for possible causes. 

Also: [charging to 100% might be damaging your battery without you realizing.]

How to Tell If Your Freezer Is Making Your Food Taste Weird

Ever pulled food from the freezer, cooked it, and something tasted… off? Not bad enough to toss, but definitely not right. The truth is, your freezer might be changing the taste of your food without you realizing it. The culprit isn’t always the food—it’s the environment it’s been sitting in. What’s That Weird Freezer Taste Anyway? ❄️ It’s usually described as: Stale Plastic-y Slightly sour or metallic Just not how it tasted going in This flavor change comes from a mix of freezer burn , odor transfer , and temperature inconsistencies.

Phone Charging Slow? Try This Before Buying a New Cable

Slow phone charging can be frustrating—especially when you’re in a rush and the battery seems stuck at 12%. Before replacing your charger or cable, there are a few common (and often overlooked) reasons your phone might be taking its time to power up. Understanding the root cause can save you time, money, and unnecessary tech stress. Check the Charging Port Dirt, lint, or debris inside the charging port can block the connection between your phone and the cable. Even a small obstruction can slow down or completely interrupt charging. Use a toothpick, SIM tool, or soft brush to gently clean out the port. Avoid using metal or applying too much pressure.
