When it comes down to the basics, remember that even professionals still employee the fundamentals. The biggest thing that I try to have people do when they want to take better cell phone pictures is turn on their grid lines.

Grid lines are vitally important because they help the image be just 'that much' better. The point of using the grid is it helps to make a better composition. The image as a whole does not have to be a masterpiece but it can be better when the right amount of a person, animal, building, or subject is inside the image. Grid lines are a nice touch to the working process when making/taking pictures.
For the most part after the grids get turned on you want to make sure that at least 2/3rds of the subject matter, or what you are wanting to capture is inside those squares.
The biggest thing to taking better cell phone pictures is that turning on the grid will just make this process quicker. When it comes to subject its very easy to just keep that simple: one subject, one picture.
Filling the grids with that 2/3rd rule helps a lot, especially with one subject a quick snap with that will fill the space well. Even, the background or negative space, which is not the subject matter, usually comes out better than expected. The end result will end up better than expected.
