How To Save Battery Power On Your Smartphone

Droidever - Tricks to save battery power on your smartphone. There are many factors to take into account and recently I have spoken of them: the modes of energy-saving of the manufacturers, the applications that consume more battery than it should.

All those tips scratch battery and get that you last longer. Some require more configuration than others but at the end all seek the same thing: more use our phone without compromising the possibilities afforded us, at least not in most cases. If you want to know how to save battery life on Android, then I leave a lot of tips.


Keep the brightness of the screen low

This trick is first Android. Control the brightness of the screen is essential and that the best thing we can do when we have our mobile is to disable the automatic brightness. The light sensor that is in the front sometimes tends to give more potential to the panel that they need. Therefore, better set it manually on the basis of where we are in each moment.

Takes a little time but is very effective. Will find it the brightness settings or in the notification within controls energy bar or in the settings menu, according to the Android that we have. Another option is to install a Lux, one of the most complete applications to manage the brightness of your mobile phone or tablet.


If you have AMOLED, it leverages that advantage

Do you have a top range of Samsung or a Motorola Moto X device? Then you can scratch a little battery compared to users who have mobile IPS LCD or TFT screen. AMOLED panels lit pixels individually so if there is a point which is pure black, will turn off. If we put together a lot, can save a lot of battery, why use dark backgrounds whenever you can.

Recently we have seen an application that consisted in putting a grid superimposed black on the screen to continue viewing the content with black spots that just look but help to adjust the battery consumption. Nor do we expect you to save hours and hours but you can scratch a bit and that last a little longer. Some applications, by the way, have a special mode for AMOLED displays with the aim to consume less. For example: Relay for reddit.


Disables WiFi when you are not using it

Another very basic Tip: If you're not going to use the WiFi for a while, turn it off. Why? Very simple: when we are under data and with the WiFi turned on, our Android will make a sweep time in search of known wireless connections that we have previously connected. If we avoid to be every few minutes scanning, we achieve to earn a little battery. Easy and simple.


The location, for the right and necessary

There are a few applications in Android using our location constantly. Almost all are usually related to maps and GPS but it is convenient that limit its use. Therefore, the best is go to the menu settings, location and see what applications use. Depending on the mobile and the ROM that you have, you can disable it directly or use different profiles to save energy. Here it is your decision, but my advice is that you locate those more consuming and limit access from your settings menu so that the battery will not eat.

It uses LTE only when you have good signal.

This measure may seem a bit controversial but has its raison. The antenna of mobile phones and tablets is hotter when he is with LTE and sometimes that difference in speed does not add much about HSPA+. My advice is that we use only 4G LTE when required. There are those who take him to the end and have it configured for when they are connected by WiFi leave data in 2G and only connected to LTE when coverage is not good. It is extreme, but it works very well.


If you don't use that application, get rid of it

It is obvious that if in install an application we are going to get more hollow in memory but eye: probably are also removing an app that works in the background and consuming battery. Worst? Who do not take it so if we have applications that we have spent several days without use and won't play at a time, better rid ourselves of them. It is worth.


Use your mobile battery-saving mode

As I explained the other day, many manufacturers advocate introducing a mode of saving energy with which we can achieve much autonomy committing some functions. They tend to be very effective and if we walk very short battery at the end of the day, we can achieve to expand more than autonomy. That Yes, remember that on some models this function is very extreme and will leave the phone with few functions.


It switches off when you don't need to be available

Are you going to sleep? Really need that mobile is the night receiving WhatsApp messages and notifications of all kinds? Probably not. Therefore, if we are going to be many hours without using the mobile the best option is to disconnect both data and WiFi. At least let calls and SMS available for if there is an emergency. Very effective, especially if there is no possibility to load at the time of disconnection.


Disable animations

Sometimes our Android have many flourishes with animations and let so many movements, consumes more battery. If we access the developer menu (by pressing repeatedly on the build number to activate this option) we can remove animations so they are not loaded and everything goes faster and efficient. It is also true that leave the mobile or the more parco tablet but worth a try.


Root your mobile

No, root your phone or get root permissions you will not allow itself to save battery but that we will give access to some of the tricks that we will see below. So far we have seen lots of advice for those who didn't need do nothing in particular. Now, we have to go more thoroughly and find out some more complex but very useful.


Flashing a custom kernel

Change the kernel of mobile, ROM, is not something very usual when you want to get best performance and battery. Here it is difficult to recommend which one to use because each device has a lot of different kernels and varies depending on interest home developers. It is best to investigate as XDA forums. A good reference when choosing between one and the other is to see if there are kernels created by Franco. They tend to be very agile and optimize battery to squeeze it even more.


It controls the wakelock

As you know, there are applications that awaken our Android completely. Sometimes it is necessary to make some apps work but sometimes it may be unnecessary to produce energy that is not necessary. The solution? Wakelock Detector.

This application, for which we will need root makes a review of all the applications you have installed and will tell us what use wakelock and what not. It is our decision to eliminate what they should not have that permission, but they are easy to identify: which need to operate in the background are fast while if we look at processes with strange names that do not refer to any known function, better remove it from the list.


It limits the permissions of applications

Finally, a useful trick which can get much out. As you know, applications require permits to operate. Depending on what you need, ask us a few things or others. Sometimes they are asking more account or things that we don't use much in every day. The solution? Use App Ops to manage permissions for each application individually.

The best thing we can do is to remove permissions that don't make sense: applications that want to access SMS but in day to day has no sense, services of GPS tracking apps that we hardly use. As you can see, there are lots of ways to save battery life. Some are more complex than others but options there are for all tastes and abilities.
