We are in an era where smart phones have become everyone's companion. Smart phones have replaced things like calculator, video games, newspapers, bedside alarm, clock, compass,music box, telephones, etc. With all these features, smart phones have become more addictive and indispensable and has made everyone glued to them.Unfortunately, owing to its constant usage coupled with many functionalities loaded in smart phones, smart phone batteries barely last us 24 hours without being recharged. It would have been superb if our batteries could last as long as 1 week but cell phone batteries are yet to be improved. As phone users, we cannot increase our batteries' capacities; we can only rely on the phone's settings to squeeze out extra battery juices. In my last post, we discussed some smart phone battery myths that are wrong. In this article I will be showing you diverse ways to improve on your battery life without rendering your phone unusable. Smart phone battryquettes that will improve your battery life. 1. Dim your phone's backlight or brightness. The smart phone's backlight constitutes a large percentage of its energy consumption. The brighter the backlight, the more energy is being drawn from the battery. Some people are of the habit of setting their phone's brightness very high even in the darkest nights. Apart from draining your battery quickly, setting our phone's brightness very high could have a long term damaging effects on our eyes and brains. A good batteryquette will entail setting the brightness to automatic so that the backlight's brightness is automatically increased or dimmed to suit the brightness of the surrounding or we can outrightly set our phone's brightness low- but not too low to impair user's visibility.This practice will save us a lot of battery juice. 2. Decrease the screen timeout. It is useless having your smart phone's screen on for too long when the phone is idle. Some phones now have motion and proximity sensors to detect when the phone is not being used and either dim the backlight or put it off entirely. As many phones do not have this feature, a good batteryquette requires we set our screen timeout short to reduce the time our phone's backlight stays on in idle mode. The shorter the time the backlight stays on, the more energy is being conserved. It is suggested we set the timeout between 30 to 60 seconds. You can set this timeout by locating your phone's display settings. 3. Turn off your GPS when not in use. Your GPS draws too much energy from the battery. Turn your phone's GPS off and only use it when necessary. There is no need turning on your phone's GPS on always when you barely make use of it. Some phones allow you to set specific apps to use GPS and thus, only enables GPS when such apps are being used and turns it off when they are not in use. You can change your GPS settings by checking your phone's Location Settings. 4. Turn off your bluetooth and wifi . When turned on, your bluetooth and wifi will continuously scan for a nearby device and network respectively. This continuous scanning saps a huge amount of energy from the battery irrespective of whether the device/network is found or not. Always put them off when not in use; this will save you a great deal of energy. 5. Disable background apps. Background apps are apps that run in the background even when they are not open. Because of the way they are programmed, these apps can steal into the phone's RAM and run without the user's permission; overworking the CPU and consequently draining the battery overtime.Such apps like Whatsapp, facebook messenger, messaging app, playstore , etc run in the background because of the real-time service they provide. They take a chunk of the energy resources and shorten the life of the battery. Disabling background apps will save you a great deal of energy, however, the functionality of the apps may be affected. To disable background apps on your android,go to your Settings > Wireless & networks > Data usage and set “Allow background data” to “Restrict background data" 6. Use the right charger. Always use the charger that came with your phone.A bad charger can damage the battery cells.Have you observed that when you charge your phone with the wrong charger, the battery drains quickly?In the event that the original charger is damaged or lost, an important factor to consider while choosing a charger is the voltage and current rating of the charger. Always check the current and voltage rating of your battery before choosing your charger.Choose a charger whose voltage rating corresponds with (or is a little above) the voltage rating of the battery (which can be found written on the battery).Using a lower rated charger will likely take ages to charge your battery and may have a long term damaging effect on the battery. A much higher rated battery will likely charge your phone too fast - a process known as quick charge. Quick charging a battery is a very bad charging process as it degrades the battery's capacity very fast. It is highly recommended you visit your phone's outlet to find a right replacement for your charger if you have lost your original charger. 7. Do not leave your battery too long without usage. Most of the smart phones make use of lithium-ion batteries- the best model for smart phones. Despite having many advantages, lithium based batteries tend to degrade overtime when left too long without being used. Most of these batteries have internal circuitry that monitors and controls the charging process. This circuit on their own consumes some amount of power and tends to drain the battery juices when the battery is left too long without being charged. This may result to a total discharge which has an adverse effect on the battery's capacity. This means that the battery will not retain charges for long after being charged. To avoid a complete drain, it is recommended you leave about 40-50% battery life (if you are planning to put off your phone off for a long while) in order to provide an allowance for the drain caused by the battery's internal monitoring circuitry or from the phone's timekeeping circuit Observing these rules will surely extend your battery life. However, there are certain 'dangerous' practices that people indulge in the bid to prolong their battery life. I highlighted these practices in my previous post and I suggest you avail yourself this opportunity to check it out. Thanks for reading. We will be glad to hear your response!

prettyboi1989:When I said , "Nokia torch' , I meant smart phones which draw relatively small energy from the battery . Read with meaning. |
wassade:That's if it over charges.... which is no longer possible. wonder why batteries don't explode or swell up even when you charge them over night? That's because the battery can't be over charged any longer |
prettyboi1989:What I am trying to say is that a phone which runs on a 4500 mAh battery may not last as long as a nokia torch light phone given that the latter uses less hardware. some phones do not need big batteries to last long and some phones that use big batteries may not last as long as you may expect. Read myth 1 |
wassade:Over charging means charging a battery beyond its capacity. If a battery is rated 5v , charging it beyond 5v will depreciate the battery's life . what I'm saying is that overcharging is no longer possible in most smart phones as mechanisms have been put in place to detect when the battery level is full and automatically stops it from further charging through the phones electronic circuit . |

Qudbell:Thanks |
echepops:It's caused by accumulation of gases produced as a result of electrochemical oxidation of the electrolyte . Over charging causes the electrolyte to oxidize thereby leading to oxygen being produced and entrapped in the battery. Over charging can be caused by a faulty battery, charger or a faulty electronic circuit that regulates the charging . |

Battery life has been a major concern for android users. Many theories about battery life extension have been formulated and it is no surprise that smart phone users follow them religiously in the bid to prolong the life span of their batteries without bothering to check the authenticity of such theories. Hacks Undiluted has analyzed some of these claims and has decided to throw more light on them. Myth 1: The higher the Mah rating of a battery, the longer the smart phone stays on. Smart phone batteries are modeled to suit the phone hardware. The battery consumption of a phone is determined by how much hardware it contains and the efficiency of these hardwares. A phone which is likely to consume more power is matched with a high capacity battery in order to prolong its 'On time'. High capacity batteries are usually found in larger phones and tablets/Ipads. However, a phone which uses a lower rated battery does not imply that the battery will drain faster. In fact, a smart phone with a smaller rated battery may stay on, longer than that 'beasty' battery powered phones. This is because the device economizes the battery juices owing to its hardware efficiency and probably fewer hardware components. Just as we cannot say that heavy duty vehicles utilizing bigger engines means they run faster than SUVs with relatively small engines, we also cannot say the same for phones utilizing 'bigger' batteries. So do not get startled when phone manufacturers list a 'beasty' battery as one of its strong points as it could mean the phone needs it to compensate for its high energy consumption. Also, do not let the 'low' rating of a phone's battery discourage you from buying it as many will quickly say, "I'm not buying! The battery rating is too poor!" Don't crucify the innocent phone because of its efficiency. Don't get me wrong. I never said a phone utilizing a high rated battery means it is inefficient neither did I say that a phone which runs on a lower rated battery implies it is more efficient than its former counterpart.. all I'm trying to discourage is the hasty generalization of cell phone's battery rating determining its life. A very efficient phone on a high power battery is plus but do not judge a book by its cover. Myth 2: Killing running tasks/apps saves the battery. While this may be true for laptop computers, it is a pure lie for smart phones. In the case of smart phones, once an application is minimized, it becomes 'frozen'; it ceases to make use of the CPU until it is reopened and hence, does not impact on the battery. When an application is opened, it is loaded in the RAM to be processed. The phone is programmed to automatically kill some tasks to free the RAM if it discovers it is running out of RAM. When you kill these apps by yourself, you in fact kill the battery as extra juice is pulled from the battery (to load the apps on the RAM) next time you decide to reopen it. Why not allow the phone to do its job ? After all, that's why its smart. Because applications only run only when it is loaded in the RAM, some applications( like whatsapp, playstore,messaging apps, etc) find their way to the RAM and hide in the background because of the way they are programmed. These applications consume a lot of battery and they are they should be the source of your worry.On Android, you can disable background apps by going to your Settings > Wireless & networks > Data usage and set “Allow background data” to “Restrict background data".However, disabling background apps could make them to malfunction. Do it at your discretion. Myth 3: Charging your battery overnight or overcharging it can kill battery life. This used to be true for older batteries and technology. Smart phones have inbuilt technology that helps regulate the charging. Once the battery is charged fully, the feedback mechanism stops the charging process; protecting the battery from being overheated from over charging. Once it is detected that the battery level is below 100%, the charging process is triggered again ; keeping the battery level at equilibrium. This series of discharging and and charging however impacts on the lifespan of the battery, but the impact is not significant enough to effect any noticeable drop in the lifespan. Myth 4: You can prolong your battery life by installing battery savers I consider the battery saving apps as malwares because they cause more harm than good. They take a chunk of your RAM, overwork your CPU and pushes up unsolicited ads on your screen while doing virtually nothing other than kill apps. Battery saver apps working technique is premised on the ideology that killing tasks help prolong battery life- this, we have disproved in myth 2.Don't mind the fancy interfaces of the so-called battery savers. Some of these apps claim to fasten the charging rate; a lie from the pit of hell. They will rather kill your battery and block your screen with crazy ads. I hope you found this article interesting. In my next post, I will writing on practices that will improve your battery life.Stay tuned and always remember to encourage me by sharing my articles with your friends. Thanks.

My keys were locked inside my Toyota Venza 2017. I had to call a panel beater who chiseled down the front door with an axe . I brought out my keys and locked the doors. Then I woke up... Checked the time.. it was past 2 pm. I stood up from my wheel barrow in which I've been lying for 2 hours . I cursed under my breath as I wandered with my one-legged vehicle in search of my daily bread. As I navigated through the thick market , my curses changed to a sweet melody of whistle ... I shook my head as I whistled "In You I Trust" knowing that one day, the sun would shine on everything I did. |
