Make Your Phone Battery Last For Days by edwapkalmeed(m): 7:50pm On Apr 17, 2015 |
Here’s our guide for how to make your cell phone battery last longer so you can stretch and extend the time span between charges. Also, don’t forget to check out our comprehensive cell phone reviews and accompanying specs if you’re looking to pick up a phone equipped with a marathon-like battery. We always consider battery life as an integral and important part of our review process. 1. Power Down: Obviously this isn’t always an option, but if you don’t have reception, are going to sleep, or it’s after business hours then turning your phone off is the easiest way to save battery life. 2. Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are power-hungry features so disable them when they’re not in use. 3. Turn off vibrate and keytones: Swinging a little weight is a lot of work and a premiere power drainer. Switch off your cell phone’s vibrate function and consider switching off your keytones if you can live without them. You can also set your ringtones to a low volume to save extra juice. 4. No flash photography: Avoid using the flash on camera phones. The little flashes are powerful and therefore use lots of energy, especially if you take multiple shots in a row. In fact, same goes for the camera as well. 5. Lower screen brightness: Cell phones can save power this way just like laptops . You probably won’t be able to decrease it by more than 50%, but your eyes will adjust to a moderate decrease. Also consider setting the display brightness to adjust automatically. 6. Close applications: Apps consume battery power as long as there open. Shut apps down if they’re not in use, including nonessential apps running in the background. We recommend Wakelock Detector as a great way for Android users to check out individual app usage statistics. Apple users can double-tap the Home button to access recently used apps, some of which run in the background. 7. Phone calls only: Playing games, watching video, scrolling through pictures, and cruising the Internet will all suck up your power. If you only have a sliver of battery life left then save it for phone calls. Avoid Facetime and other forms of video chatting while you’re at it. 8. Don’t search for a signal: Your phone will continually search for a signal in areas with poor reception. Either turn the phone off, switch it to airplane mode or think about purchasing a signal amplifier for better reception in dead zones. 9. Don’t let it die: Avoid placing unwanted strain on your battery by charging it before it fully discharges of its power. 10. Keep it out of the heat: Don’t leave your phone in a hot car or anywhere with hot temperatures if it can be avoided. There is an optimum temperature range cell phones function at. 11. Turn off GPS Tracking: Triangulating your position via radio waves and satellites will eat away at your battery like no other. Try to use it only when navigation and location services are key. 12. Limit the screen timeout. Most cell phone screens will stay lit for a specified period of time after receiving input such as a swipe or tap. Set the timeout to the shortest available in your settings so the display will essentially go into a sleep mode when not in use. 13. Turn off notifications and syncing. Notifications and background syncing aren’t crucial to use your phone, but the constant updating and displaying of messages consumes a good deal of energy. Limit your notifications to what’s actually important and keep automatic syncing to a minimum. 14. Update apps regularly. While not always the case, many apps are often updated to increase their battery efficiency and utilize less power. Switch on automatic updates or download them manually if you want greater control over the updating process. 15. Purchase an external cell phone battery. It can’t hurt to have a backup battery for when all else fails. Below our some of our favorites available on the market. |
