10 Proven and Tested Tips to Extend Battery Life on Android
In our day to day life smartphone takes a major role in our life. When we buy a new smartphone it battery will lasts so long. As time spends its battery drains too quickly. But the good news is that there are a lot of ways you can save your phone's battery life,and here are 10 Proven and Tested Tips to Extend Battery Life on Android
#1 Don’t let the charge run out
Some people will tell you that you should let your phone discharge completely before recharging it.
This was true for some older phone batteries but is not harmful to the lithium-ion batteries used in modern phones and laptops.
Modern batteries are designed to empty between three hundred and five hundred recharge cycles, based the model.
Keeping your device charged will extend those five hundreds cycles over a longer period.
It will also reduce the wear and tear that gradually weakens the battery's ability to hold a charge.
#2 Uninstall battery saver or booster apps
There are many battery saver apps on play store or in app store with millions of download.
This is weird but true. These apps takes every permission of your mobile to keep tracking activities.
I advise you not to trust on these apps. They don't save the power instead of power saving they drain your battery. These apps runs in background which costs to your battery life.
So uninstall these type of app if you have one of them and never download it again..
#3 Lower brightness and screen out time
Your phone’s screen spends more juice than any other part. Reducing the brightness of your phone can go a long way towards increasing its charge.
You should always consider turning off automatic brightness as well. While this might seem helpful, the constant changes in intensity can make power drainage astonishingly much faster.
It is also a good idea to go to your phone settings and reduce the amount of time before the screen goes dark.
#4 Use power saving modes
Many modern phones are equipped with power-saving software to keep them longer. These modes will automatically change many settings, such as brightness and which background app is running.
If you have a new phone with an OLED screen, Using the application in dark mode or night mode can cut down on battery usage even further while also look cool and preventing eyestrain.
#5 Avoid fast charging
Many devices come installed with fast charge settings for quicker recharge.
You can also buy a special charging cable that can fully charge your mobile battery in just a few minutes. This seems like a big relief, but do you know that by doing this, you are constantly reducing the life/capacity of your mobile battery.
Batteries work by using electricity to cause a chemical reactions within the batteries. If it charges too fast, the process becomes less efficient. This can reduce the amount of storable energy by up to 20% in the remaining charge cycle.
#6 Use airplane mode
I will not need to tell you that you can save battery by switching off the mobile. But if you want to use your mobile APPS, then you can do Airplane mode On instead of SWITCH OFF.
Because your mobile is connected to the network at all times or is always searching for the network, in this process the battery consumes.
So whenever you go to sleep, keep in mind that airplane mode is on.
#7 Turn off location tracking
Some apps like Facebook , Google Maps , dating apps requires you to turn on location services to give you the best result in your surrounding .
But have you noticed that turning on Location drains your battery faster then doing anything .
So you should make habit of turning of location services until you really need it to turn on. And whenever you go to use it then select the Battery Saving option.
You can access it from Settings>Location>Mode>Battery Saving
#8 Use simple wallpapers and dark themes
I know that some of you loves animated or live themes on your phone screen . but you should know that these themes draining your battery life. These animated, 3d, live themes or wallpapers looks cool but they consume power. So you should use a simple and dark themes or wallpapers so you can save your battery from draining..
Some apps like Google Books, Facebook, are also come with dark mode, so you should use them. It will be beneficial for your eyes as well as your mobile batteries.
#9 Disable automatic updates
When you comes is any Wi-Fi network many apps will start updating without asking. Or sometime some apps update automatically when they got a update of newer version. This all happens because we always keep the automatic updates on. This does not effect your battery as much as others do. But if you want to use most of your battery then you have to do it also.
This does not effect your battery as much as others do. But if you want to use most of your battery then you have to do it also.
#10 Wi-Fi Is Your Friend
Turning on mobile data stresses the battery. Instead of mobile data I prefer you to use Wi-Fi (If you have).You can turn on Airplane mode and just switch on the wifi . It will disable all data network features.Doing this will help you to save your battery.
But keep in mind to turn off wifi also because it continuously searching for Wi-Fi network if you turn it on.
