Smartphone batteries don't last forever, but there are lots of things you can do behind-the-scenes to make your Android last longer. Let's explore how to increase battery life on your smartphone.
1. When you get a new phone, it is advisable that for the first two to three cycles, let the battery completely drain out (till the phone switches off) and then recharge. This ensures that your phone battery is able to function at full capacity. Also, do this once every month to ensure optimum battery performance.
2. You can easily save on battery and system memory being used by regularly checking the task manager. Close applications that you are not using.
3. Bluetooth is a major battery hog. Keep your Bluetooth switched off if you don't need it to save battery.
4. You can also turn down the brightness of the screen to get better battery backup.
5. Animated themes, operator logo and screen savers make your phone look funky, but they drain the battery too.
6. Additional services such as GPRS, 3G and WiFi should also be shut down as soon as your work is through.
7. When at home and office, keep the phone in silent. Ringtones use both the speaker and the vibrator function which leads to more battery consumption.
8. Try to avoid using the voice dialing feature if you want better battery life (especially in a phone with large 'contact' database).
9. Go to Display settings, and reduce the values of power saver time-out and light time-out.
10. Games use almost all the functions of the phone from the screen, speakers, key press to vibrator. Minimize playing games on the phone if you need your battery.
11. Clean your battery's metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient.
12. Always use an original charger for your handset. Using fake chargers could damage the battery or the device.
13. Leaving your battery to charge overnight won't damage it. But no longer than that. The average phone battery charges in 2-3 hours, try to keep the phone charging for that specified time only.
14. USB charging and car charging takes longer than the wall charger and also doesn't fully charge the phone. So always prefer to use a wall charger.
15. If you do not care about WCDMA, then in tools/settings/network - switch from DUAL to GSM (applicable in selected phones).
16. Don't use display auto-brightness. It may sound useful, but auto-brightness is usually way brighter than you really need. It's better to manually set the brightness to a level that is low but comfortable, and bump it up when necessary.
17. If your Android device is rooted, then use Greenify and hibernate all 3rd party apps. Unlike many Android apps that claim to optimize performance and increase battery life, Greenify actually works. Greenify allows you to put other apps into hibernation when they aren't in use, preventing them from operating in the background.
18. Turn off GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and mobile data whenever you don't need them. Turning off location data, or changing your location settings to use Wi-Fi or 3G data rather than GPS works perfectly well. This will increase battery on your Android device.
19. If you have multiple widgets across several home screens, which are constantly syncing and updating (Twitter, reddit, weather, Gmail and the like), you're not doing your battery any favors. Just hit the apps when you need them.
20. Turn off auto-syncing for Google accounts. If you don't need every single Google account updated every 15 minutes, just go into Settings and Google account and turn off auto-sync for those apps you don't need constantly updated.
21. Some apps – like email – let you manually refresh when you launch them, rather than running multiple auto-refreshes throughout the day when you may not need them to. The same goes for Twitter, Reddit and co. Unless you need constant updates or push notifications (like for Facebook or your calendar) just sync when you actually use the app.
22. Switch off vibrate. Unless you really need that added awareness, turn off vibration alerts for incoming calls. It actually takes more power to vibrate your phone than it does to ring it. Turn off haptic feedback too (that buzz you get from typing on the keyboard). Sure it feels cool, but it doesn't really add anything to your experience, and it's another battery drainer.
