It is annoying when our smartphone runs out of battery. The more we use the phone features, the more battery juice is used. Therefore, it is essential to conserve battery life and maximize the phone’s functionality. In this post, I will suggest some ways to extend the battery life in Android Phones or iPhones.
Increase the Battery life of Phones
1] Turn on Battery Saver
Battery Saver mode tries to consume minimum power (when kept on) by turning off some features running in the background and increasing the battery life.
Power Saver mode stops updating live tiles, closes background-running apps, and disables automatic syncing of mail and calendar.
To turn on Battery Saver, Go to settings, tap Battery saver, and then turn it on.
Battery Saver mode normally gets activated with the battery life falls below 20%, but it can be manually turned on anytime.
2] Turn off Background Tasks
Along with the apps in the multitasking panel, there are a few that are running in the background, which consume a lot of battery. Turning off any apps you do not require will dramatically increase your battery life.
3] Turn off Bluetooth, WiFi and NFC
Most devices support Bluetooth file sharing, so keeping Bluetooth turned on all the time can drain the battery. Additionally, when Bluetooth is enabled, the phone continuously scans for available accessories, resulting in unnecessary battery drain.
Similarly, when the WiFi is turned on ,it keeps on checking for the available networks and notifies you. So it recommended keeping the WiFi turned off when not in use.
I’m not sure if NFC maintains the battery life when turned off, but from my personal experience, it did work out.
4] Keep a dark background theme
The only native customization available on your Phone is the Dark (Black) and Light (White) themes. Using either of the themes affects the battery life, especially if you have a Super AMOLED display. So it is recommended to use the dark background theme for your phone.
5] Keep low brightness
The automatic brightness level may sometimes keep the brightness too high, resulting in increased battery usage. Therefore, it is recommended to turn off the automatic adjustment and select the brightness levels manually according to the ambiance.
6] Keep Cellular data connection turned off whenever, not in use
Using a cellular data connection (HSDPA or LTE) consumes a significant amount of battery. The battery level falls too often when the internet is in use. Almost all the Phones have balanced battery life for HSDPA, but LTE data uses maximum battery life. So it is recommended to keep the data connection whenever it is not needed.
7] Manually synchronize e-mails
Phones synchronize email accounts in the background at regular intervals to check for new emails. Synchronization consumes a certain amount of battery power each time, resulting in a decrease in battery life.
To prevent this, the email accounts should be manually synchronized to check for new emails or the time interval between the two synchronizations should be increased.
