Tired of being constantly reminded that your smartphone battery is about to run out? These guidelines will help you maximize battery life.
We charge our smartphone every night. And if we forget about this ritual, then the next day the device will beep pitifully, display notifications about the discharged battery, and then it will turn off altogether. However, this unpleasant situation can be avoided by turning off the main energy eaters in the smartphone.
Screen. The brighter the screen, the more power it uses.
GPS module. The constant search for GPS satellites quickly drains the battery. Not only navigation, but also the use of FACEBOOK and TWITTER requires the use of GPS.
Internet. Receiving frequent emails and downloading applications with a lot of data will drain the battery quickly.
Applications. Sometimes one application is enough to turn the "little boy" into a gluttonous monster. How much energy does the application consume per hour:
SKYPE: APPLE - 27%; ANDROID - 51%.
FACEBOOK: APPLE - 24%; ANDROID - 23%.
NAVIGON: APPLE - 21%; ANDROID - 39%.
YOUTUBE: APPLE - 14%; ANDROID - 36%.
WHATSAPP: 1%; ANDROID - 3%.
GOOGLE NOW: APPLE - 3%; ANDROID - 11%.
Some simple free apps are also draining your battery. The reason is obvious: embedded banner ads use location and internet connectivity to download ads, and they contain programming errors. Free apps use up to 75% more energy than their paid versions! Don't want to pay money for them? Then switch your smartphone, for example, in simple games, to air mode. This way you can stop ads from loading.
10 helpful tips:
1. Synchronization. Turn off automatic syncing on your device - this will save the most energy.
2. Decrease display brightness. The display is a powerful energy eater, so reduce its brightness to the minimum level.
3. Checking mail. Checking your mailbox frequently manually (or even using instant mail delivery service) drains your battery, so turn on the automatic check feature at a certain interval, for example, every hour.
4. Disable UMTS / LTE. You haven't signed a contract for regular Internet access or LTE access? Then changing the mode in the settings of mobile networks will help you.
5. Enabling power saving mode. Many Android smartphones (and Windows smartphones, such as Nokia Lumia) have a low power mode, which when switched to lowers the processor clock speed and screen brightness.
6. Dark background. Many smartphones are equipped with AMOLED displays. They spend more energy on displaying white color, since each pixel glows independently. In this case, it is preferable to use dark backgrounds and themes.
7. Reduced blocking time. The faster the screen turns off, the more energy is saved. Change your lock screen settings.
8. Disable GPS. The positioning function by means of quickly drains the battery. If you don't need it, turn it off.
9. Correct shutdown of applications. Close applications that are no longer needed. Applications that are used every hour or more, of course, it is better not to close.
10. Search for energy eaters. Apps consume energy differently. By opening the power management function, you can find the most wasteful programs.
