Top 8 Android Battery Tips

As more powerful processors are driving innovations in smartphones, battery life spans are dropping rapidly due to the fact that these processors require much energy from smartphone’s battery to function smoothly.

However, there are quick tips that smartphone users can take on board to extend the longevity of their smartphones’ battery lives.

I have put together these five quick tips to get the best out of your battery



(1) Dim your screen brightness
Your smartphone’s colourful display and high-definition screen is a great feature but it risks sapping your battery life. Among the most demanding components on your phone battery is your screen. So, the best way to handle this is to switch on your auto-brightness feature which automatically adjusts your screen’s brightness, depending on your lighting levels.

If you really want to save your battery life, you can also switch your brightness level to its lowest level.

(2) Shorten your screen timeout
Your phone’s display options should have a timeout setting that controls how long your device’s screen stays on after receiving input, such as touching your screen. A timeout can range from a few minutes to 15 seconds. Adjusting this feature helps save battery life as your phone remains switched on but in a sleep mode.

You can use your phone’s built-in features to save on battery life.


(3) Turn off Bluetooth
Bluetooth is great for connecting to your sound system in your car or at home, but this technology is heavy on your battery use. This is because it’s constantly using up power to listen for signals to connect to. Switching this off can save energy use on your device.

(4) Tone down Wi-Fi
Like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi also taps signal technology continuously and can sap your phone’s battery. So, switch your Wi-Fi signal on when you need it. Android smartphones, for example, have an option to toggle your Wi-Fi.

(5) Switch off background apps
Running multiple apps at any given moment is one of the big advantages of owning a smartphone. However, each app needs energy to run as it uses your phone’s processor. To minimise these apps knock to your battery life, be sure to clear your apps tray regularly. It also burns a lot of energy, because every app you run uses a share of your phone’s processor cycles.

(6) Switch off your internet connection
Internet connection is also one of the many factors why your battery drain quickly especially 3G/4G. Just switch it off when not in use or switch to Edge connection because it comsumes less battery

(7) Avoid using power saving apps
Yes avoid using these apps because the truth is they are actually draining your battery while preventing other apps from doing. The logic is that they have to stay active all the time to monitor other apps and this process consume more battery so avoid using them.

(8)Over Charging your battery
Some people are fond of charging battery at the slightest drop. What do i mean by this, imagine someone recharging a phone 2 minutes after a full charge, why? because the battery parcentage dropped to 99% from 100%. You should stop the habit because the truth is continous charging really weakens and damage the battery.
