A few tips on saving your battery life

Android phone hardware are getting more and more powerful. Now
we get over 2G frequency cpu, over 400M frequency GPU. Here
comes the most important, larger screen. For example, Samsung
Galaxy SIII has a huge 4.8′ screen, not to mention note
II’s incredible 5.5 display. Howeverwe have to charge our
battery once everyday with the development of the hardware until
we see some breakthrough in battery technology.
It’s more important to learn how to save battery life before we
could see any significant increase in mobile battery capacity.
Here are a few tips on saving your battery life,
1. Reduce display brightness. Turndown the brightness is up till
nowthe most effective way to save your battery life. If you go
see your battery usage, screen always eats the most battery,
this is very true if you have a large screen. If you reduce the
display brightness by 30% or 50%, the battery life will be
drastically prolonged. For instance, my phone has a 4.7′
display, and I set the brightness from 40% to 20% and I can use
my phone for another day (from 24 hours to 48 hours or more).
2. Turn off auto sync. Auto sync is the essential feature of
modern Smartphone, and it drains your battery quickly too. If
you have to sync your phone book, or picture or anything else,
do it yourself. Do not let auto sync stays on. Besides,it helps
save your data.
3. Turn off Bluetooth, WiFi and GPSuntil you need to use them.
We generally do not use Bluetooth or GPS, so it’s strongly
recommendedto disable them.
4. Turn off your cell phone during the night while you sleep. It
will reserve some battery power for you, but if you have
emergency calls at night, this might not be applicable.
5. Disable vibration, keypad soundand backlight. While some
prefer vibration and need backlight to read, but these features
requires much battery power to work, if your disable them, your
battery will surely last longer.
6. Reduce the apps running in thebackground (you need to root
your phone to do this). Unnecessary features like camera and
mobile internet are those features will tremendously consume
your battery power. If you have a task killer installed, youwill
be able to see how many appsare running in the background for no
purpose. So I would like advice you delete those unnecessary
auto-start entries, remove those unnecessary apps or system
services. Always remember to backup first.
7. Use WiFi instead of 3G to accessthe internet. 3G consumes
more power than WiFi. So if you have access to WiFi network,
just disable 3G.
8. Set your network mode correctly. If you have a 3G cell phone,
you have three options: Dual mode, UMTS and GSM (depending on
the cell phone you have), if you are using 3G or 2G, select the
mode accordingly, neverselect dual mode. Because every time you
turn of your cell phone or lost signal, it has to search for the
network and this process consumes battery power a lot.[br/]
