Top 5 Hidden Power Saving Features On Android by braintext(m): 10:41pm On Jan 16, 2017

Hey guys,
Today I'll be sharing with you the 5 battery power saving Features on Android.
I'll advice you to watch the video as it's fully detailed.

1- Grayscale
Android has a built-in grayscale color option which is hidden far in the developer options of your phone which is also hidden in the settings of your phone.
Grayscale saves power by disabling other color panels and making use of only the grey and white panels
You can active it by going to SETTINGS--> DEVELOPER OPTIONS---> SIMULATE COLOR SPACE---> MONOCHROMACY

2- Built-in Task Killer

This is another feature that is buried far inside the developer options section.
It helps you limit background processes by killing them immediately after you exit the app or limit them to a few processes which helps save battery as no/less background app will be consuming them.
SETTINGS--> DEVELOPER OPTIONS---> APPS

3- GSM/2G Mode
I know that must of us don't use 2G anymore but it is one of the most battery friendly network mode as it 2G is readily available all through the country. It's very good if you don't have any heavy work to do on the internet.
It's not intentionally hidden and it's not also easy to locate.
SETTINGS---> MOBILE NETWORKS---> NETWORK MODE

4- Airplane Mode
I know you'll be wondering how this is an hidden feature as you see it Everytime you press and hold the power button for a few seconds. Well it might be there Everytime you press the power button but do you use it??
I bet you don't which makes it's function hidden to you.
Well it turns off all connectivity features on your phone until you turn off the mode. This is very useful as connectivity features consume battery the most
Aside that, Ads won't appear in any app when you're in airplane mode smiley

5- Well watch the video to find out

Yea. Nice video.

l do use the Grayscale mode when am in extreme conditions like no power in my area for days.

Try explaining each of the Colour modes not just the gray scale mode alone.

Lest l forget, post steps on how to enable Android Developer mode/features for those who may need it.
