To extend the battery life of your Android device, you need to change some settings so that it consumes as little power as possible while working. Here are some important settings you can change on your Android phone to extend battery life:
1. Change the way your screen works
Lower screen brightness: If your screen is too bright, turn it down. Screens usually consume the most power. This setting can be changed by going to Settings > Display > Brightness Level. You may want to use Adaptive Brightness, which automatically adjusts the screen brightness based on the light around you.
Reduce the time the screen is off when your phone is not in use. Change the timeout to a shorter value, such as 15 or 30 seconds, by going to Settings > Display > Screen Timeout.
2. Enable energy saving mode
Power Saving Mode: Most Android devices have a power saving mode that limits background data, reduces brightness, disables graphics, and sometimes reduces CPU usage to extend battery life. This feature can be enabled by going to Settings > Battery > Battery Saver Mode.
Extra power saving mode: Some phones have an extra power saving mode that only allows you to make calls, send text messages and use certain apps. This is very effective and will help your battery last longer when it is low.
3. Limit what apps can do in the background
Some apps continue to use battery when idle because they share data and update themselves in the background. To stop this, go to Settings > Apps & notifications > App info, select an app, and under Battery, disable that app’s ability to run in the background.
4. Use batteries more efficiently
Optimize apps: Android has a tool that limits the amount of battery power an app can use based on how you use it. To change these settings, go to Settings > Battery > Menu (three dots) > Battery usage. Then choose the apps you want to restrict for optimal battery life.
5. Pay attention to the connection function
Turn off unused connection options: Turn off Wi-Fi, mobile data, Bluetooth, and GPS when not in use. You can quickly disable these features from the quick settings menu by swiping down from the top of the screen.
Enable Airplane Mode: If you are in an area with poor cell phone coverage, you can enable Airplane Mode so that your phone isn’t constantly searching for a signal, which can quickly drain the battery.
6. Disable location services
Change your location settings. Location services consume a lot of battery power. Go to Settings > Location and turn it off if you don’t need it. You can also change the mode so that the GPS only works when necessary.
7. Enable dark mode
Enable dark mode. If your phone has an OLED or AMOLED screen, dark mode can extend battery life. On these screens, black spots consume less power. Go to Settings > Display > Themes and select Dark to enable Dark mode.
8. Keep apps and software up to date every time
Keep your gadgets up to date: Make sure your operating system and apps are up to date. Developers often make adjustments to updates to make better battery use. Go to Settings > System > Advanced > System Updates to see if there are any software changes.
9. Use adaptable batteries
Adaptive Battery Settings: This feature limits the amount of battery used by apps that are not used often. This option can be found in Settings > Battery > Adaptive battery. Over time, it learns how you use apps and provides just enough functionality for the apps you use most.
