When buying a modern smartphone, you want to stay active as long as possible. However, high processor power, multiple apps and widgets, and HD displays can drain your battery quickly.
Little tricks in using the gadget will help prolong the state of autonomy of the smartphone and increase the intervals between charges. Here you will learn how to increase battery life on your smartphone with minimal functionality limitations.
Active connections and background programs
Online syncing, constant GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and lots of programs running in the background dramatically reduce battery life. Turning programs on and off all the time takes time, but helps you avoid wasting battery power. Also, do not forget about applications that help monitor background services and disable them on time.
Choosing the right display technology
The most economical type of screen is considered to be AMOLED displays. They can be found on a variety of Samsung smartphones. Such screens reproduce only color pixels. It is enough to translate the smartphone interface into dark colors and significantly increase the autonomy of the gadget due to non-working black pixels.
Remove auto-update widgets
Always running widgets waste a lot of energy and require constant internet access, which also dramatically reduces battery life. In order not to be left without news and weather at all, it is enough to switch the widget update to manual mode.
Disable vibration on smartphone
Disabling vibration for notifications from social networks and messenger will help save battery power. Vibration can also be automatically configured when typing on the virtual keyboard or clicking on the system icons.
Referring to original parts
If the smartphone has a removable battery, then batteries from other manufacturers can significantly shorten the life of the device, regardless of its novelty. Optimization of such batteries may be insufficient and lead to damage to the gadget.
Minimum waiting period
Frequent access to a smartphone during the day is mostly due to the desire to know the time or check for updates. The display can then remain active long enough before going into standby mode. To increase the battery life of the device, it is enough to set the parameter to 10 seconds to exit the active state. This setting will help to extend the battery life of your smartphone.
Use Power Saving Mode
Even if the smartphone does not have a power saving function, it is enough to select the airplane mode if you are not going to use the gadget for some time.
Give up gesture controls
Now smartphones delight users with convenient functions that simplify the use of the gadget. However, it is worth deciding whether a double tap or control of the device with gestures is really necessary. You may save a couple of seconds, but significantly shorten the life of your smartphone.
Ditch automatic screen brightness
Smartphone sensors are not always able to correctly adjust the display brightness based on environmental data. Therefore, very often the sliders are turned to the maximum mode when this is not necessary.
Don't forget to keep your software up to date
Developers regularly work with system optimizations, and each new version of the software can increase the performance of the smartphone and its battery life.
