Modern mobile devices rarely last longer than one day of active use. The problem was not spared by the devices running Android. This sad fact compels HTC owners to take certain measures to improve the energy efficiency of their devices.
Monitoring the operation of wireless connections
One of the most power consuming functions of mobile devices is sending and receiving data wirelessly. More specifically, we are talking about the work of such popular technologies as Wi-FI, Bluetooth, mobile networks and GPS.
To minimize the use of battery power, you should carefully monitor your wireless connections and turn them on only when you really need to.
For example, if you are transferring files from the unit to the unit, or you are using devices such as wireless headphones, Bluetooth must be activated. In other cases, when there is no need for the technology to work, it should not be in working mode.
The situation with GPS is similar. The service should be turned on only when there is a need to determine the exact location or to get directions.
The same can be said for the use of mobile networks. The data transfer service over the mobile Internet should work only when necessary in the latter. Wi-FI connections should be managed in the same way. Even when the device is not connected to a specific network, the built-in adapter constantly searches for new signal sources and thus consumes battery power.
Don't forget about the type of mobile network. The fastest, but also the most power hungry are 3G and LTE. Therefore, without much need for them, it is better to use the 2G network.
Display control
A considerable amount of energy is also required for the display to work. To optimize its performance, you need to follow a series of simple steps.
First, you should set a small interval from the last time the display was used until it was turned off. It is advisable to set no more than one or two minutes.
Secondly, you need to turn on the automatic brightness control mode so that this parameter always has the optimal value for the surrounding conditions.
Thirdly, it is advisable not to use live wallpapers, as they consume a lot of energy.
These guidelines will help you reduce the amount of battery power required to run your display.
Application control
Do not forget that the more applications are installed on the smartphone, the more energy is required for their operation. A huge number of programs run in the background, even when the smartphone is not in use. Therefore, you need to remove unnecessary programs and leave only the really necessary ones. This will extend the battery life.
