We all use smartphones and living our lives around it. GPS, Apps, Games, Bluetooth, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and so on... All of these take a toll on your phone's battery. To save the battery and run your phone for longer, you need to optimize the settings. Here are some tips that will help you in keeping your phone's battery for long time:
Turn off Mobile Data (Internet)
The first and most effective way to save your mobile battery is turning off your mobile data. This will automatically deactivate all the internet related activities happening on your phone. This is the best tip for saving the battery.
Reduce screen brightness
Most of us increase our phone's screen brightness when outside in sunlight to see the screen clearly but later we forget to reduce the brightness back to lower level. High screen brightness draws down phone battery considerably. So, keep brightness at low level to save the battery.
Set dark wallpaper
Black screen are unlit pixels. In dark wallpaper or homepage, only colored pixels are illuminated. Hence, dark background screen impacts very less on your phone's battery.
No animated wallpaper / homepage
Animated home page or wallpaper constantly use power in order to change the visuals. Turn off the animated visuals and use static to save your phone's battery.
Turn off Vibration
Turn off vibration mode for everything like ringing, messages, key pressing and where possible. Vibration consumes your phone's battery very quickly.
Battery Settings
Check battery usage in your phone's settings and see which apps are taking how much battery. Change according to your requirement to optimize the battery use. This way your phone's battery will last longer.
Turn On Power Saving mode / Airplane mode
When running out of battery or want to save your mobile's battery, turn on the power saving mode or airplane mode. This turns off all the apps automatically and save the battery for longer use.
Set shorter screen timeout
Set your phone's screen timeout to shortest possible period to save on battery use. After phone use, shorter screen timeout will quickly put your phone in sleep mode and save battery.
Don't use in low signal area
When you are on move from one location to another location, phone's signal doesn't remain same. It fluctuates and this impacts on phone's battery. Battery discharges in shorter time.
Turn Off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi constantly check nearby devices and signals resulting quick discharge of phone's battery. Turn it ON only when you need it.
Turn Off GPS, Widgets & Apps
When not in use, turn off GPS, Widgets and apps installed on your phone. They constantly try to keep
data updated and draining out your phone's battery.
Store Music locally
Keep your favorite music tracks stored on your phone. Enjoying music online draws down your phone's battery.
Avoid heat exposure
Phone battery is sensitive to temperature. Your phone shouldn't be exposed to direct heat or leaving your phone in car in a hot sunny day. This will reduce battery life and may permanently damage the battery.
Update phone apps
Apps are upgraded to reduce the batter use also. So, keep the apps installed onto your mobile updated regularly.
Turn Off Notifications
If not required, turn off all the notifications or keep active only which are useful to save battery.
Turn Off Email sync
If you do not need to respond emails quickly, turn off push email syncing. Generally it syncs every 15 minutes or 30 minutes. Turning off will save on battery.
