It’s no secret that smartphones can be a bit power hungry, and it doesn’t help that as phones keep getting slimmer the battery has to work harder. But with these practical tips you’ll be able to make your battery life last longer. Moreover, you can avoid the hassle of going for a phone repair service every now and then!
Turn Down the Brightness on Your Screen
The brightness of your screen drains your battery significantly faster than any other part of your phone. This is why switching down the brightness on your screen can help a lot.
Turn off Location Services When Not in Use
Most phone have GPS enabled which lets most of your social media apps track your location. It allows the apps to give live updates about your current locations and provide relevant status updates. However, having your GPS on all the time significantly drains your phone’s battery. Simply turning your GPS off would give you some extra hours of battery life.
Dim or Turn off Auto-Sync.
We all love getting the latest notifications as soon as they come out but your phone has to check for each app and since it’s your phone it does this every minute or so. So if you have a lot of apps on your phone and you don’t need all of them checking for updates, switch off the ones that don’t need to be continuously checked.
If You’re Not Using Your Bluetooth, Turn it off
Bluetooth is a useful feature but there’s no reason it should be draining your battery! If you aren’t using it at the time, the battery takes power just to keep listening for other devices. It’s better to turn it off when you aren’t using it!
Shut Down Your Apps When Not in Use
Your app usage is constantly on in the background and if you’re not actively playing a game or watching a movie, those apps are constantly aging your battery and draining it! A simple solution is to shut down these apps when they aren’t being used.
Avoid Using the Phone While Charging
Especially if you’re charging it through a USB port on your computer because the computer is likely to be on standby and not using as much power as it normally would. This also explains why putting your phone in standby while charging is a bad idea, you’ll still have the power going through your phone draining power even when you don’t need to be using it.
Turn off Wireless Connections When Not in Use
This means WiFi and Bluetooth which are both an issue when it comes to battery life unless you’re actively taking advantage of them for something, otherwise they could be draining your battery just because they might come into use later (though this is unlikely).
