If you need your device to keep going but are left with a low battery on your device, you might get started with closing applications and using your device wisely, but it won’t help you, so today we will be sharing a simple trick to save your smartphone battery.
Closing apps eat up more battery
Whenever you force-stop an app and clear the background usage, your device uses more battery than usual. In case you want to open the app, with relaunch, the app consumes more resources to start. So it is better to keep apps running in the background; in this case, it just loads directly from where you left it because it was silently paused in RAM. This will help you save battery and data on your device. Meanwhile, modern devices come with a system of memory management, which helps to clear unwanted apps and apps that consume more battery.
Don’t add unnecessary charge cycles.
If you don’t charge after letting your device’s battery down to 0%, then you are adding unnecessary charge cycles. The lithium-ion battery, which most modern smartphones come with, prefers to charge between 30% and 80%.
Remove the case from the device.
While charging, keep your case away from your device, because most cases aren’t good at dissipating heat from the device. Lithium batteries work better at cool temperatures; the higher the temperature, the slower the charging process.
Don’t use the device while charging.
Yes, it is safe to use while charging your device, but it will slow down the charging process. Instead, enable airplane mode while charging because it disables the wireless signal and radio.
Update your device.
Smartphones come with optimized battery charging; the latest version comes with patches that optimize performance and fix issues, including battery capacity.
Use a priority charge.
It is recommended to use a manufacturer charger because of the technology, while you can opt for quality third-party charging manufacturers. You can check your device configuration to see how much power it can handle and then buy a charging solution accordingly.
Clean your device’s charging port.
It does affect charging, so clean it with a toothpick. Ensure that your charging port doesn’t have any dust, which slows down the charging process.
Change wallpaper.
Modern smartphones come with an OLED display panel; if you have one, then you should use dark wallpaper because it doesn’t have to power up those areas, which helps to save battery. This is the reason why most of the applications start supporting dark mode, including the device OS. By activating it, you can potentially save battery.
Additionally, you can use adaptive brightness (auto brightness) and auto-lock, which will adjust the brightness according to your surroundings and auto-lock in cases of inactivity, respectively.
Sync frequency –
Your device fetches emails with a set period of intervals; the longer the intervals, the more your device will save battery.
- Go to settings.
- Scroll down and tap on Accounts and Backups.
- Click on Manage accounts.
- Head over to your account, and then from there, tweak the sync frequency.
- That’s it!
There were some other recommendations, like disabling location services and not using your device in extreme weather conditions.
