Don’t disable everything that makes a Smartphone! Without compromising much on the performance you are able to increase android phone battery life by just following simple techniques which were discussed below:
Display:
Studies report the average android phone user turns their Smartphone 180 times a day. No matter how much you love using brightest screen, minimize the screen brightness to increase the battery life of android phone, as display consumes more battery than any other component of your phone, brighter the screen, the more power it uses. Go manual for this instead of auto brightness feature because it activates light sensor which needs to sense light every time you turns mobile. High screen timeout will drain your battery a lot faster than it should be; screen timeout should be shorter to save battery. Well, if you want to save power don’t use live wallpapers and widgets they suck energy like anything. Live wallpapers look cool and awesome but they also use the device resources, especially the battery of high screen resolution android phones. You might argue they use very little power, but minimal is still something who wants to squeeze the last drop of juice from the battery. If you use AMOLED or super AMOLED you can conserve more battery power by using black wallpaper and dark themes.
Connectivity:
It’s great that today’s smart phones have Connectivity features like LTE, NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Go easy on location services, Location services uses GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile data for monitoring your location. Even when Wi-Fi is disabled a phone could still be searching for networks, turn off the mobile’s GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and mobile data whenever you don’t need them. If you are in an area with poor cellular coverage, your mobile constantly checks for radio signals, Switch to 2G networks from 3G or 4G services, works perfectly well to increase the android phone battery life. It saves a lot of battery or else this has an adverse effect on battery life.
Background Apps:
Apps that are running in the background use processing power which takes a tremendous amount of energy. To cut down power consumption, reduce your CPU’s workload by uninstalling or disable apps that you are not actually using. Installing task managers /app killers and battery saving apps will drain more battery than they save. Because they are constantly running in the background and try to kill background apps that you use frequently, stay away from these useless apps and manually Swipe away apps to close which are not used. Always keep your apps up to date. Updates not only fix bugs, but add features and increases battery power efficiency of android phone.
Turn off phone vibration function and hepatic feedback to save battery. Almost every android phone manufacturer provides some useful power saving features such as power saving mode, which helps to cut down the power consumption and increases the battery life tremendously, but if you are a heavy user this mode might degrade the performance. Don’t use gimmicky gestures/features if you want to save power. Usages of Original batteries last longer and more reliable than third party accessories and recharge the phone only if it reaches below 10% of battery level, this may boost the efficiency of the battery; these small changes will add an hour or more to your battery life.
