If your smartphone's battery drains too quickly, don't worry, you can probably squeeze more life out of it by optimizing some of your phone's settings. As part of the article, we will tell you what to do when the battery runs out quickly on Android.
Reasons why the phone drains quickly
There are two main reasons why your phone's battery drains quickly:
- hardware - battery wear due to prolonged use, overheating, disruption of the power controller;
- software - flaws in the firmware, "crooked" software, unreasonable operation of data transmission modules, etc.
It is very difficult to eradicate faults from the first category, you will probably have to change the battery or go to a service center. Yes, you can distort the contacts at home, pull out the battery, but an oversight will lead to irreversible consequences.
With the second group, everything is easier, there is a lot in your hands, and we will tell you what to do if the battery runs out quickly on Android.
What to do when the phone runs out of power quickly?
Let's discuss ways that you can follow to quickly reduce energy consumption.
Check which apps are using the most battery
Tap "Settings - Battery" to see a list of all apps and how much power they use. If an app you don't use often is eating too much, then consider deleting it, freezing it, or stopping it.
Remove unwanted software and ads
Programs often leave their services hanging in the background, they load the RAM and load the processor, reducing the operating time from a single charge. Remove unnecessary applications, especially unnecessary instant messengers and everything that tries to connect to the Internet. In order to get to the uninstall menu, go to "Settings - Applications".
It often happens that advertising embedded in software causes the smartphone to actively discharge due to additional downloads of material from the network. To neutralize it, use an ad blocker, such as Adguard. You can download it from the Play Market.
Never use task killers (CleanMaster)
Despite the popularity of killer apps for Android, they cause great harm to the phone, as they unload the necessary components and services from memory, which start again, forcing the processor to work at increased frequencies. And it goes on forever.
Even through the multitasking window, it makes no sense to constantly unload processes. Except for the ones you rarely use. Android has already learned how to independently regulate the work of background activity, it makes no sense to help it with this, since Doze does a great job.
Uninstall unnecessary widgets from the home screen
Widgets drain your battery due to constant syncing and refresh animations. They also litter the RAM. It's not worth getting rid of all the widgets, but try to remove the ones that are not so important.
Enable Airplane Mode in Low Signal Areas
Smartphones use a large number of energy when trying to connect in areas with low signal strength. So if you can't get a stable network connection, turn on airplane mode. To do this, turn the curtain down and tap on the aircraft icon.
If there is no icon, then go to "Settings - Wireless networks".
Disable data transfer when not in use
The mobile Internet, especially over LTE, arranges a total genocide of the charge. Try to turn it off if possible. This will greatly reduce standby consumption and give at least one additional hour of screen activity per day.
Disable GPS when not in use
GPS is the heaviest module on the battery (you probably noticed this while using Google Maps). This is another component, in addition to 4G, mercilessly killing charge percentages. Therefore, never forget to deactivate it in your smartphone.
Also go along the path “Settings - Location - three-dot icon - Search”, and now turn off both items that are responsible for constantly searching for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Turn on power saving mode
For Android 5.0 and later, this feature allows you to increase battery life. For example, animations will be removed, most background syncs will stop, and location services will be disabled. The operating system suggests activating this mode when it reaches 15% charge in order to extend the operating time.
Lower the screen brightness
If you're using Android 5.0 or later, open Settings - Display and turn on Auto Brightness, which will allow the display to adapt to lighting conditions, ensuring that the matrix is never brighter than necessary.
But if your battery is in a bad state, manually dimming the screen is a good way to extend battery life until you get to charge.
Remove live wallpaper
The system offers the flexibility to personalize the home screen, but try not to overdo it and give up live wallpapers. They load the processor and RAM. It is better to give preference to a static picture on the desktop.
Reduce screen timeout
You can save a lot of battery life by reducing the amount of time the display stays active. Open "Settings - Display" to set the screen timeout, for example, 30 or 60 seconds. It seems that this is not very important, but in this way you will significantly reduce energy consumption, because the matrix (especially IPS) consumes it the most.
stop vibration
For the operation of the vibration motor, power is required, not very much, but still. To turn it off, go to "Settings - Sound - Other sounds" and uncheck "Vibration feedback". Also turn off vibration in your keyboard settings.
Keep your phone cool
According to research, the condition of a battery deteriorates greatly when it gets too hot. Do not leave your phone on the dashboard of a car on a sunny day, on a windowsill, under a laptop cooler, etc. The most important thing is not to let the “bank” heat up to 45 ° C. Monitor the heating during games using the AIDA64 utility. Usually, heating under load is regulated by throttling (the process of lowering processor frequencies to reduce heat), but it's better to play it safe and control the heat dissipation yourself. It is very important.
Always download updates
Install firmware and application updates. They are often aimed at improving energy efficiency.
Keep the charge between 30% and 90%
The best way to keep a battery running for a couple of years is not to discharge it below 30-40% and never charge it above 80-90%. This is far from always possible, but at least try not to put the gadget on charge overnight, so that when it is charged, it does not stand for 4-6 hours connected to the outlet at 100%. All this reduces the capacity of the battery.
We understand that it is possible to argue “who serves whom: the phone is yours or you are the phone?” Therefore, you should not obey the requirements of the battery so much, but strive to discharge at 0% as rarely as possible and leave it overnight.
Let the battery drain occasionally
Calibration - completely draining and then recharging your phone's battery to 100% every three months helps maintain its capacity.
Destroy viruses
Malicious programs sometimes get into the system and affect so that the device starts to sit down faster. To demolish them, check the list of applications for suspicious software. Also download an antivirus solution from the app store, for example, Kaspersky, run it and let it scan the operating system. After that, remove the dangerous components.
Change firmware
A rather radical method, which sometimes works best, because on stock firmware gadgets sometimes discharge too quickly. Read about the available custom, find out which is the most stable, holds a charge well. After carefully install the assembly. Often firmware based on Lineage or AOSP take care of the charge, so over time, many decide to switch to them from official shells.
Reset to factory settings
If nothing helped, the phone began to consume unreasonably much, do a Hard reset to return the system to its original state. Go to "Settings - Backup and reset - Factory reset". Read the warning, backup the data that will be deleted and start the process. This will help mitigate system failures that sometimes happen.
Solving hardware problems
Now we will touch on the topic of solving hardware problems.
Google Battery Calibration
We bring to your attention the battery calibration method proposed by Google Corporation. In some cases, it helps to normalize the behavior of the battery and the power controller, which began to incorrectly determine the capacity.
- Connect a completely discharged mobile phone to the power supply and charge it in the switched on state for at least eight hours.
- Unplug it, turn it off and charge it for another hour.
- Turn off the device, start it, use it for one or two minutes.
- Unplug and plug back in for an hour.
The method looks strange, but it allows you to reset the controller statistics and adjust the real capacity to software algorithms for calculating it.
Use only original charging components
This is important, as some devices with fast charging do not accept connection to third-party power supplies. Also, too much power, for which components are not sharpened, can harm the battery, and it will start to sit down faster.
We have described the most important methods. Not all of them can be met, but the purpose of this article was also to explain to you what affects the discharge the most, so that you, knowing the reasons, could independently develop an energy-efficient and comfortable user profile for the device.
Misuse, viruses, software bugs and/or hardware failure are common causes of rapid battery drain. In this article, we will tell you how to find and fix the source of problems, as well as extend battery life.
The main reasons for the rapid consumption of energy
All battery problems fall into 3 categories:
- Not optimal use.
- Software problems.
- Internal breakdown.
The first category includes problems caused directly by the owner of the device. This is an incorrect setting, the use of poorly optimized applications, operation in high or low temperatures, etc.
Software problems are caused by failures in the firmware or standard applications. Also viruses and malware.
Internal breakdowns include factory defects and the failure of certain components, both through the fault of the owner and due to accidental circumstances. Most internal breakdowns are fixed only in a service center or repair shop.
How to troubleshoot suboptimal usage issues
Each owner has the right to use the mobile device at his own discretion. At the same time, the lack of optimal settings and operating conditions lead to a decrease in the time of active work, and over time, wear and tear of certain components. If you follow the recommendations below, it will be possible to extend not only the autonomy of the device, but also the “life cycle”.
Disable unused and unnecessary features
Voice or gesture control, as well as other similar functions, are active throughout the entire time. Programs are in standby mode and read information from sensors in order to instantly fulfill a request or user action. Disable such features if you do not need to use them.
It is also worth checking the activity of the GPS. Applications often require navigation to be enabled to access certain features. An active GPS module consumes additional power, which negatively affects the autonomy of the mobile device.
Disabling vibration, which is used for calls, incoming notifications and typing, will also reduce energy consumption.
Use dark design and Always On Display technology
If the screen of your device is designed using organic light-emitting diode technology: OLED, POLED, PMOLED, AMOLED, Super AMOLED - using a dark design will slightly increase the operating time. In such matrices, power is supplied to each diode individually. When a black picture is displayed, no energy is supplied to the diode, which saves battery power. But a white picture, even at a high level of brightness, in such matrices discharges the battery 2 times faster, in comparison with a similar IPS matrix.
Do not neglect Always On Display technology, if the option is supported by a mobile device. The essence of the technology is to display time and notifications in a window that does not exceed 25-30% of the entire screen area. The technology works most effectively with AMOLED matrices, since energy is supplied only to part of the screen, and not to the entire display.
Turn off background app activity
Often, fast battery consumption is associated with applications active in the background. Such programs continue to work even after the device is put into standby mode. High background activity equals heavy usage. Turning off or limiting background activity will help conserve power while in standby mode.
Starting with the sixth version of Android, the passive technology for reducing background activity is included in the firmware - which is active by default. In some third-party shells, such as MIUI, progressive application customization is available.
Instruction for MIUI:
Open the system settings section.
Then "Battery consumption by applications."
Select the apps where you want to restrict background activity.
Specify the appropriate limitation setting: "energy saving" - smart shutdown, "no restrictions" - no savings, "restrict background applications" - partially disable activity, "restrict background activity" - close programs to save power.
Apply restriction settings for each application in turn.
Important! The specified menu and parameter names may be called differently in different versions of the system.
On devices without third-party skins, background app activity limits are usually not available. In this case, third-party programs will help, for example. The utility will help determine running applications and services, and then hibernate - transfer to sleep. At the same time, the maximum capabilities of Greenify are achieved only after granting rights.
Activate energy saving features
Android has built-in various power-saving apps to conserve battery power. Most programs are built on the principle of limiting certain tasks and functions: turning off the Wi-Fi network at a given time, automatically turning off GPS, etc.
Instruction for Android 6, 7 and 8:
In the settings, open the "Battery" section.
Click on the menu of hidden items.
Select the only option "Battery saver".
Make sure battery saver is enabled. You will also see programs that do not save battery.
Instruction for Android 9:
In the settings section, select "Battery".
Activate the "Adaptive Battery" feature. Once enabled, the system will restrict the background running of infrequently used applications. The positive effect is up to 10% battery savings.
Also turn on Power Saving Mode. Set to automatically turn on at 70% battery level.
Instruction for MIUI 9 and 10:
In System Preferences, select Battery and Performance.
Then the item "Food".
In the Smart Scripts section, select Scripts.
Activate the Sleep Saver feature. Once activated, the system will restrict background processes to save battery when you are not using your mobile device.
Turn off background mobile data
By default, background data is allowed for all apps when using mobile data. Disabling this feature will reduce the number of hits and save traffic. At the same time, notifications from some applications will decrease - mail, instant messengers, etc. Therefore, do not touch programs that require uninterrupted notifications. The most noticeable effect is seen on devices with budget and outdated mobile platforms, where non-power efficient modems are used.
Instruction:
- Open the settings section.
- Further "applications".
- Select the program where you want to enable the restriction.
- Then open the "Data Transfer" item.
- Disable the "Background" feature.
Also, use the "traffic saving" function. After activation, only selected applications will have access to the mobile Internet. The load on the network will decrease, which will favorably affect the autonomy of the device.
Instruction:
In the settings, select "Data transfer".
In the next window, activate the function.
Also specify the applications that will receive unlimited access to the Internet.
Important! Turn off mobile internet when not needed. Give preference to Wi-Fi connection due to lower power consumption.
Limit background data sync
When using a Google account, by default, unlimited synchronization of certain data with the server is allowed: calendar, contacts, Gmail, etc. Disabling sync will reduce the background activity of the device, as well as the frequency of updating certain data. Therefore, disable the synchronization of those data that are not of particular importance to you. If necessary, synchronization can be easily done manually.
Instruction:
In the settings, open the "Accounts" section.
Deactivate the synchronization of services you do not need.
Remove unused and useless apps
Often users install 2-3 applications of the same type in order to combine the advantages of both programs, and also as a safety net when one of the applications refuses to work. Some programs are installed without a clear need or for use every six months. It is better to get rid of unused and duplicate applications. Since background activity increases with the growth of programs, which negatively affects the operating time.
It is also worth abandoning poorly optimized applications, usually made in China. Such programs are not restrained in terms of the use of RAM and other resources of the mobile device. Watch the energy consumption of certain applications. If during operation such a program causes a noticeable heating of the case, and the charge drains before our eyes, then it is better to look for an alternative application.
Uninstall optimizer apps. Such programs only worsen performance due to the abundance of advertising. And also change live images to static images. Because live wallpapers consume more resources, which will drain your battery faster.
Maintain temperature balance
The optimum operating temperature for a mobile device is from -5 to +45°C. A further increase or decrease in temperature slows down the chemical processes inside the battery. As a result, the battery drains rapidly. If the device returns to the recommended temperature range, the charge level returns to normal.
More often, owners of smartphones and tablets are faced with overheating. Poor heat dissipation leads to heating of the battery, which causes the process of degradation and destruction. Subsequently, the battery accumulates less energy, which is reflected in the duration of the device.
Calibrate the battery
How to troubleshoot software issues
Firmware or application crashes are common. For example, a calendar or other program gets stuck on a certain task. As a result, the active process does not allow the device to go into standby mode, and the battery is discharged in a few hours due to high load. Usually, the problem is solved by restarting or stopping the problematic application. It is advisable to reboot the system in order to exclude failures in the operation of other applications.
Worse when fast battery drain occurs after a system update. In this case, sometimes it helps. If it doesn't help, there are two ways out: wait for a new update or custom firmware. Perhaps the official service center will help roll back the update. Take an interest in this possibility if the device is still under warranty.
How to fix internal damage
Most internal breakdowns are eliminated exclusively in service centers, since it is difficult to diagnose and disassemble the case at home. The most common causes of failure are a worn out battery and a burned out power controller.
Battery wear occurs due to improper operation - non-compliance with the temperature balance, discharging the battery to a complete shutdown, charging and operating when the battery overheats, etc. It is easy to identify a worn battery due to swelling and as a result of a deformed case. Even such a battery is quickly charged in inactivity, as it practically does not hold a charge. Sometimes a slight heating is felt on the back or front side.
With a failed power controller, battery charging is usually not possible, or the battery charges more slowly than it discharges. The breakdown is also given out by the high temperature of the mobile device, less often by the unpleasant smell of burning. The controller usually burns out due to a short circuit and the use of low-quality power supplies. However, the owner is far from always to blame, sometimes a defective part breaks.
In both cases, the problem is solved by replacing the damaged elements. If the design does not allow you to remove the battery yourself, then the device can only be repaired at a service center.
Good day to all!
Today, without a smartphone - as without hands (moreover, I'm not exaggerating ...). And the problem of its short battery life is quite relevant. Even worse, when even without this, a short time of work becomes completely "miserable" ...
But, looking ahead, I’ll say that some of the reasons why the smartphone’s battery “behaves” like this can be eliminated with the help of “fine” settings of the device (but many people neglect this, but in vain ...).
Actually, in this article I want to tell you how to increase the operating time of your smartphone, what to disable and what to pay attention to first of all. I think that the problem is quite popular and will be of interest to a wide range of readers.
What causes your smartphone battery to drain quickly
The first thing I recommend paying attention to is the "readings" of the smartphone itself. open "Settings -> Battery", and see which applications and device adapters "ate" the main charge. For example, in the screenshot below, the battery charge was spent on waiting and the screen (thus, it is logical to start optimization from the screen - for example, you can turn down the brightness, turn off the adaptive adjustment sensor, etc. But a few words about this below...) .
Problem #1: An error has occurred in the system (for example, a smartphone can "infinitely" search for a network).
I will add that this can happen with the new device, and with the old one. On some devices, such failures occur periodically: either they start looking for a network, or it is not known why the CPU usage is high (by the way, the device becomes warm, you can notice if it is in your pocket).
Solution:
Whatever it was, but the very first thing I recommend is to simply turn off and on the device (reboot the smartphone). In many cases, after a reboot, the phone starts working in normal normal mode.
Problem #2: Screen brightness is set to maximum (auto-brightness sensor enabled).
The screen is one of the most "gluttonous" elements, and the higher the brightness, the faster the battery drains.
I would also note that auto-brightness is often set in smartphones (also called adaptive brightness control) - i.e. the device automatically adjusts the brightness to the desired level using a light sensor. Most often, the brightness is set too high...
Solution:
Of course, I don’t urge anyone to squint, but keeping the brightness at maximum also doesn’t make much sense (on the vast majority of smartphones). A screen that is too bright is just as damaging to the eyes as a dim one.
Problem #3: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. are enabled.
The included adapters Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. - discharge the battery quite well (when they are turned off, the phone can work for about ~ 10% longer, under the same operating conditions).
Solution:
It is necessary to try to disable these modules, and then you can compare how long the phone will work.
Wireless modules disabled
Problem number 4: GPS navigation is on, Google maps are open.
Solution:
Of course, it's good to navigate in an unfamiliar part of the area (city) using Google maps (Yandex). However, I note that they "devour" a large share of the battery charge. It is highly recommended to use them only when necessary, and turn them off the rest of the time (really, do you really need to watch your location in familiar places?).
Also pay attention to applications such as weather forecast (manually indicate the region where you want to monitor the weather, and not using GPS), maps, etc.
Problem #5: Vibrate is on
By the way, many do not know, but the vibration signal takes more charge than the audio. Therefore, it is preferable to use a sound notification.
Solution:
Logical and simple: go to the smartphone settings in the "Sounds and notifications" section and turn off the vibration signal.
Problem #6: Automatic App Updates Work
The Google Play Market may have automatic app updates enabled. Due to this, updates can be installed several times a day, which naturally does not have the best effect on the battery life of the phone.
Solution:
You need to go to the Google Play Market settings and turn off automatic updates (or set them so that they only work when connected to a Wi-Fi network (note: turn on Wi-Fi manually as needed)).
Issue #7: Screen auto-off settings not set to optimal settings
After each viewing of the phone screen, before going out, it will be lit for 1-2 minutes (default time). I'm not talking about the fact that if notifications often come to you, then the screen can light up almost every minute!
Solution:
For active smartphone users, I would recommend reducing the sleep mode time to 15-30 seconds. Thus, you can save even a fraction of the charge.
Note: look for the corresponding setting in the "Screen" section.
Problem #8: Not using power save mode
Many phones have special power-saving modes that significantly save battery power (all settings are already pre-set by the device manufacturer). At least until the cause of the rapid battery drain is identified, it is quite possible to use the phone with a power saving mode.
Well, I can not recommend using the special. apps for diagnosing and monitoring the battery of smartphones (Now there are quite a lot of them, I’m not ready to recommend something specifically yet. For example, I use an application with the telling name "Battery". Today, only the most positive impressions from its use) .
Such applications allow you to learn about the state of the battery in time, control the battery life (under various operating conditions), temperature, etc. I recommend trying a couple from this genre ...
Update as of 12/28/18
Problem #10: Using your smartphone in the cold
If you use your smartphone outdoors (in winter), it is possible that the battery charge may decrease due to low temperatures. Especially if your device case contains aluminum and the phone itself is quite thin (in this case, the battery inside the phone will "freeze" very quickly)...
- carry the phone in the inner pocket of the jacket (for example), and not in the hands (handbag);
- use a headset for talking outdoors;
- put a cover on the phone;
- limit the time of the conversation (the colder it is outside, the more often you "split" the time of negotiations...).
It is possible that your battery has simply become unusable and it is time to replace it. By the way, pay attention to the appearance of the battery: often with problems with it, you will notice that it is swollen...
Additions, as always, are welcome...
And that's all I have for now.
If the phone began to discharge quickly, this does not mean that the battery is to blame. In 70% of cases, the user himself configured the device in such a way that it consumes a lot of battery power. Of course, the battery may also be to blame, but first you should try changing the settings, as well as calibrating the device’s battery.
What to do if the smartphone is quickly discharged
There are many reasons why the battery is discharged in a matter of hours. Now we will consider the most basic of them and see how they are eliminated.
Reason 1: Maximum brightness
Often, users do not hesitate to set the display brightness of their device to high. However, keep in mind that the larger it is, the higher the battery consumption of the screen. The acceptable brightness level is 40-50%. In the latest version of Android, you can adjust the brightness from the curtain.
Reason 2: Many wireless modules are activated
If the battery on the phone began to discharge quickly, you may have turned on the mobile Internet, bluetooth, Wi-Fi and do not turn it off. These modules are capable of draining the battery charge in a short period of time. You can turn them off via the menu. "Settings" your device or through the curtain, which is pulled out with a finger from the top of the display.
Reason 3: Applications running in the background
Sometimes the culprit for why the Android phone quickly began to discharge is applications that work in the background and consume power. To find out what programs are running in the background:
- Open menu "Settings".
- Get down to the block "Device" and tap on the section "Applications".
- There, you need to swipe your finger to the right until you find yourself in the section "Working".
- Under the caption: "RAM Usage" will be all currently running programs. You need to click on the unnecessary ones and press "Stop".
After that, applications will stop their activities in the background, and the battery in standby mode will drain more slowly.
Reason 4: Incorrect charge display
Incorrect calibration is a common reason why a new phone runs out of battery quickly. You need to calibrate the battery of your device, and for this:
- Discharge the battery completely to turn off the device.
- Then take out the battery for 10 minutes and put it back in.
- Put the smartphone to charge for 8 hours (this is important).
- After this period of time has passed, you need to remove the smartphone from charging.
- Then you need to remove the battery and wait 10 minutes to insert it back.
- You can start the device, the battery is calibrated.
Reason 5: The power controller is out of order
Rarely, but still, the power controller can break down and transmit incorrect readings to the system, thereby not all the charge will be used and the battery will slowly charge. What to do? In this case, you need to carry the smartphone to a service center for repair or replacement of the chip.
Reason 6: Update and Firmware
Often, it is after updating the device that the battery starts to discharge quickly. Developers make a mistake. In this case, you should roll back, if possible. Even unofficial firmware can also be poorly optimized and consume a lot of charge. Therefore, it is always better to use only stock firmware.
Reason 7: Viruses
Malicious applications are one of the reasons why the battery runs out, as they run in the background and constantly consume battery. To scan your phone for threats, you need to:
- Go to Google Play Store.
- Enter in the search bar Dr. Web and install the proposed application on your device.
- Run it and check your device for threats.
- Once the scan is complete and malware is removed, you can uninstall the application.
Reason 8: Battery Wear
Over time, the battery begins to deteriorate, hold a charge less and heat up. If you use it for about 3 years, it is worth replacing the battery with a new one.
Reason 9: Imbalance
Some devices from Samsung encountered such a problem when the battery capacity was not enough for the installed hardware. In this case, you should use portable batteries - Power Bank.
- On the Internet, you can often find advice to use battery calibration applications, such as Battery Calibration. In fact, it is absolutely useless. Some claim that it helped, but these are isolated cases, and most likely the reason was not even that.
- There is also a recommendation to use the Clean Master application to clean the device and optimize. This makes no sense, since all these programs consume a lot of charge and load the device. They are suitable if you need to clear the device's memory, after which it is recommended to delete them.
Conclusion
That's all. Now you know why the battery on the phone began to discharge quickly. Of course, you can find a number of other reasons, but I have highlighted the most basic of them. Use the recommendations I have given and do not see dubious advice on the Internet.
What to do if the battery runs out quickly on Android? This is the most frequently asked question from the owners of gadgets on the Android operating system. Of course, the reason is not in the Android operating system itself, but in the functionality that, in combination with the hardware content of smartphones, is provided to users. Now we will try to figure out why the battery runs out quickly on a smartphone and what to do if the battery runs out quickly on an Android phone.
The problem with smartphones is that they drain quickly.
- First of all, you need to change the display settings for more economical use.
For this:
- you need to reduce the display brightness by 40-50% or use the automatic display brightness adjustment. You can do this if you go to "Settings" - "Display" - "Auto Adjust";
- reduce the time before the screen turns off automatically, this can be done very quickly also in the display settings;
- on some Android phones, setting dark desktop wallpapers and themes helps to reduce battery consumption. black pixels on the screens almost do not need power. Also, do not install "live" wallpapers and many widgets on your phone, they draw a very large amount of energy due to animation and constant updates.
- No need to leave Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, 3G turned on unnecessarily.
Disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC
Turn these features on only when you actually use them and don't forget to turn them off, because when enabled, these wireless modules periodically scan for available networks and connections and drain your Android battery very quickly. This will significantly save the charge.
- Turn off the vibration signal, the backlight of the touch buttons and the vibration feedback.
Using a ringtone and vibration at the same time drains your Android battery very quickly. It is better to use them separately as needed. And the use of button illumination and vibration feedback are used mainly for the convenience of the user and they can be sacrificed in favor of saving battery power.
- Uninstall old apps and programs that you haven't used in a while.
Remove redundant apps
Old programs and apps can drain your battery by downloading updates in the background. To do this, you can use the "CleanMaster" program, which is found in almost all Android phones.
- Use special applications to save energy on your smartphone.
Easy Battery Saver
Programs such as "EasyBatterySaver" "BatteryDr. Saver" and many other applications for the Android operating system will help you keep track of useless sources of battery consumption, give detailed information about battery consumption if you make the necessary settings. These applications can be downloaded for free from GooglePlayMarket, which is found in every Android phone.
- Update the software for your Android phone regularly.
Software updates are carried out regularly, the phone itself prompts you to do it, this should not be ignored, because updating the firmware will help save energy.
- Turn off automatic updates for apps and widgets.
Periodically, all applications check for updates in the background, which leads to a useless Internet connection, as a result, the Android battery drains very quickly.
- Turn off your phone at night.
Don't leave your phone charging at night
It is undesirable to put the phone to charge all night, because this leads to battery wear. If you turn off or at least switch the device to offline mode, charging it before going to bed, in the morning you will get a 95-100% charged device.
- Perform battery calibration.
Many device owners are faced with incorrect battery display on Android. Battery calibration will help with this problem. You can do it yourself. To do this, you need to completely discharge your device, remove the battery, wait a few minutes, insert it back and put the phone on charge without turning it on. Leave to recharge for approximately 8 hours. After recharging, remove the battery again, put it back in a few minutes and turn on the phone. Calibration completed. If you follow these simple steps, you can increase the battery life of the gadget and extend the life of the battery itself.
Perhaps these are all the real reasons why the battery drains quickly on a smartphone and the best ways to extend battery life throughout the day. But if you are not ready to give up the convenient functionality of modern gadgets, you will have to sacrifice battery life. In this case, it is better for you to carry a charger with you or purchase a replacement battery.
