As a runner I’ve had to get used to many different weather conditions, some I don’t mind and some I don’t like at all. Like, I love to run at the track with the sun beating down on me because it adds some extra intensity to my workout. I don’t even mind running in the rain, which is a realization that actually surprised me at the time. My least favorite weather to run in, though, is the freezing cold of winter. I figured that out the hard way when I was training for a half marathon and had no choice but to log many of my miles during the coldest time of year here in the Northeast. I was smart, though, because I always made sure I had the essentials including warm running tights, a few layers on top, a pair of gloves, and most importantly my phone. Not only in case of an emergency, but also because my phone is my music player. It’s funny, though, because it turns out that mobile devices don’t necessarily enjoy being out in extreme cold temperatures any more than I do. However, did you know there are ways to actually winterize your cell phone in order to prepare it for the freezing temperatures and protect it from damage when the weather gets cold? I know I didn’t, which is why I’m really glad my friends at U.S. Cellular shared a few tips to keep my Samsung Galaxy S5 safe this winter and I’d really love to share their tips with you as well!
Cold Weather Tips to Protect Your Cellphone
- Accessorize: A LifeProof case is tough and waterproof and can protect your device during severe winter weather, including frigid temperatures, ice, and snow.
- Best Weather Apps: AccuWeather, MyRadar Weather Radar, The Weather Channel and WeatherBug are some of the most popular free apps available on iTunes and in the Google Play store to help keep you up-to-date on winter weather.
- Battery Blues: When cellphone batteries are exposed to chilly temperatures for extended periods of time their ability to function drops like the winter mercury. Mobile device batteries that would provide 100% capacity at 80 degrees will usually only deliver about 50 percent when the temperature outside dips to zero.
- Cover Up: Extended exposure to the cold could harm your cellphone’s display screen. The display cover can actually become weak, which could cause the liquid crystals inside the display to begin freezing. Yikes!
- Don’t Fret When Wet: If a cellphone gets wet due to condensation or from getting dropped accidentally in the snow, turn it off immediately and remove the battery. Use a towel or napkins to get as much excess water off the phone as possible and leave it turned off for a day or two to allow the internal circuitry a chance to dry out fully.
- Phone for Cold and Snow: The Kyocera DuraForce is an ultra-tough smartphone that is built to withstand frigid temperatures down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s also certified IP68 waterproof, so it can be fully submerged in up to 6 feet of water for up to 30 minutes and with its Glove & Wet Touchscreen Operation you can even use the phone while wearing winter gloves or if the screen gets wet.
If you need to be out in the cold with your cell phone for any length of time I hope you find these tips to be helpful because it you’re anything like me then it would be truly devastating if any harm came to your beloved mobile device.
P.S. Did you give your child their first cell phone for Christmas? Did you upgrade them to a smartphone? If so, this Parent/Child Agreement is a must-download to make sure everyone is on the same page and always using their phone responsibly.

I got my husband a Lifeproof case for Christmas and I am sitting here wondering why I didn’t get myself one, too. It’s awesome.
I didn’t know that the cold could impact the battery life. That’s good to know.
Great tips, I have left my phone in the car overnight a few times in the winter, and it has an impact.
I had never heard about the Kyocera DuraForce phone but I am going to let my family that lives in a very cold state know about this. I live in a warm weather state so I usually have more issues when it heats up in the summer.
I never even realized that cold weather could affect your phone, I’ve always been worried about overheating and the AZ heat in the summer!

One thing I do to boost my score is make a payment on my card before the bill comes. Even though I have a bunch of cards, I have been able to bump my score over 800. The other thing I did for my son was I put him on one of my cards as an authorized user. He used it a couple times and it helped his score a bunch. We just took him off the card and we are going to see how it affects his score now. It’s a card I had for a long time.pc training college

Thanks for the valuable tips. We have had a few annoying experiences and a couple of good ones when we signed up with tours in China. Since we will be making many more trips over the next few years I would prefer to get local guides who can take us to authentic restaurants and basically assist us in our desire to find some off the beaten path places to check out. Can you give me some ideas on where or how to go about finding them. Awesome recipes btw. Thanks again.

I totally agree with all of your points but the one thing that annoys me most is when my images are used without any credit being given. It takes me (and I’m sure most other bloggers) so much time to take pictures and edit them and then to see them being used for profit on other random websites drives me mad. It seems to be happening so much lately that I don’t really know what to do about it anymore and seeing “Pinterest” as a credit source can send me into total meltdown ?

When I was a child my parents had close friends that we visited often. Both our houses were middle class and children played outside. To reach the friends house we had to go through Beverly Hills where the houses are large and beautiful, but not a child in sight. It’s still that way today in every upper class neighborhood I’ve been to. I guess the wealthy don’t need laws to protect their kids.Colours That Go With Grey

Sleeping better, exercising and eating healthier will also help lower your stress. When you’re stressed out what happens? You want to eat! So, getting your stress levels under control, keeping your goals in perspective and focusing on taking good care of yourself will help with your successful weight loss.

I was just about to order 6 foot dowels and i realized, will those be too heavy to go on the ends? Any suggestions? Maybe I should just frame it? I really love the pull down style tho !!lisa

Ohh this is fab. As a very new, floundering and feeling my way blog writer, I have discovered how naive I am! The whole follow then unfollow thing baffles me, as does the insta-bot thing. I was puzzled by the “f4f” comments I kept getting, wondering what the hell it meant, but Im learning fast!
Now, I only follow blogs, Instagram etc that interest me, (not who I think I need to be polite and follow back) and I comment if I feel I want to share something with the writer/poster, not so I get attention. Its a weird, whole new world that I need to understand lol. I also have no fear of my photos being mistaken as copies, I am a really rubbish photographer! (again, trying to learn fast)

hi, I was quickly reminded of the benefits of the ice bath ‘training’ (read: torture) once again on my last ice swim. It amazed me how quickly my mind went from ‘confident’ to ‘panic’ when in the ice water and the only comfort I could find was the experience gained from the these ice baths and the knowledge that I could work through the hard symptoms as my body changed – I was not going to die. Without this knowledge and experience, I may well have aborted the challenge.
I love the traditional look–you still managed to keep it modern and fresh. I am always jealous of other peoples thrift store finds . . . we don’t have many thrift stores out here, and it’s next to impossible to find anything good in the ones we do have. Those stockings are super cute
