Am I the only one who gets a cold phone that results in it's death? Like does anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me?

Yeah my phone will die randomly when its cold. Can usually keep it from happening if I keep my phone in the chest pocket of my inner layer.

What kind of phone? My iPhone used to do that, but my Galaxy doesn't.

Sounds dumb but if you use a sandwich ziplock bag, you can still use touchscreen with it and my phone doesn't seem to die from the cold. The only thing i've noticed is that when I go in the lodge, the second I take it out of the bag it dies. Try it sometime

My galaxy only dies if it is around 15%. But if I have it in a chest pocket it runs out of battery before it dies of the cold.

Yet you take the time to write out a decently written response to why you couldn't delete one letter and retype it as a lowercase...

Either use a hand warmer and leave it in the pocket with the phone or if youre willing to, get a charger case.

My old galaxy s3 would never die, it would last from my 6am wakeup through my 6pm ski down and still get me through apres.

My buddies with iphones were dead by about 2pm.

The hand warmer trick is great. You can also wrap it in a cheap cotton glove or cloth. Phone like layers too.

Mophie Juicepack Pro FTW.

I use one of these plus a second external battery in my bag when I have to do snapchat on hill at an event. The Juicepack pro does a killer job of keeping the phone alive under heavy usage.

Isn't a charger bad for your phone though? Kills the max battery life.

Nnnnope. It will occasionally freeze and reboot, but it does that from the screen getting damp I think... The battery lasts from first chair to when I get home with GPS and Bluetooth on for most of that time.

Only since I got an iphone 5. Can't take it out of my coat, even just to switch songs. Under 5 degrees it shut down. -_- I miss my iphone 4 for this, was ok even at -20 .... hell.

galaxy battery is a brute, cold never gets to it. go pro battery on the other hand, when it's cold, has to come out and go under my armpit on the lift just to warm up enough for one lap.

The frequencies from the microwave will also charge your phone if its a high enough wattage microwave.
