    I think smartphones are the coolest technology that exist in this world, but we cannot avoid the fact that we still have to charge them in order to use. How often do you charge your phone?

    I charge my cell phone at least once a day. I usually do it at night when I go to sleep. If I forget to do it at night, I may do it off-and-on throughout the day just to make sure it remains juiced-up. There's nothing worse than having your cell zonk-out on you right before heading out to meet friends for dinner. So frustrating.

    I use my phone a lot and therefore it requires a charge every night. I charge it while I sleep.

    Sometimes I have to charge it twice in 24 hours which is pretty annoying, but that's just how smartphones are nowadays.

    I usually charge my phone at night when I am sleeping. I am using it all throughout the day.

    I get down to about 20% after a full day, so it is perfect when I wake up and I am at a full 100% to go about the day.

    Since I use my phone a lot for other things besides calling people. I usually have to charge it one or two times per day. I try to let it drain all the way out to zero before I charge.

    If I would rule my buying criteria on how often a new phone with the coolest characteristics that I may need is released, I would be changing my phone on a daily basis, and probably twice a day, but I'm not that rich.

    I have my actual phone, a Samsung Chat, since about a year ago and I have not plans to change it. All what I need a phone for comes with this, and I would say many other useless things too, but it was a present that I really appreciate and don't care all those things that I don't need nor use.

    I usually charge my phone at the end of everyday. Since I have a smartphone, I tend to use it a lot and the battery usually drains pretty quickly depending on what I'm doing with it. But in most cases, it lasts throughout the day and I just end up charging it at night.

    I charge my phone twice a day, even thrice a day when I'm downloading stuff. My phone's battery drains very quickly even when on stand-by mode, so I bought an extra battery for it. I swear, even if you don't use it for 1 whole day, the batt still gets drained!

    I charge mine way too much and i find it a little annoying. i pretty much charge it through the night and then i have to charge it around 2pm and then around 8pm. That for me is pretty much my whole day spent by the charger. i think that is the most annoying thing about smartphones really.

    I have a smart phone that I charge while I am sleeping at night. The apps running in the background use up a lot of energy. I would like a phone with a battery that last longer, nothing is worse than being out using the phone and seeing that the battery is low and you still need the use of the phone. The need to carry an additional charged battery or a portable battery charger is becoming a necessity.
