10 Important tips to make your smartphone's battery last longer

Your smartphone is the first most used piece of technology today, yesterday, last year (You get my point). whether you're just checking your messages, browsing, calling, watching funny videos, we find ourselves in situations whereby we wished we had more battery power at our side for that unexpected scenario. Use these 10 extremely important Tips/tricks to make your smartphone's battery last longer.



Use Airplane mode 

Using Airplane mode whenever you’re not using your phone will actually improve the battery performance in a number of ways. Since you will be disconnected from everything, your phone ultimately works less and still manages to retain some power. After answering texts or surfing the web, unless you know that you have to keep your phone on for important calls, you can switch activate airplane mode in the notifications tab. Because of this, users have said an extra 20 minutes was added to their battery life.

Uninstall Facebook app

80% of Facebook users reported a battery life increase once they uninstalled the app! Although there’s not much to say about this, The Facebook app really consumes a lot of power not just when using it but in the background as well. To add on, it also consumes data so you’re better off just using Facebook directly on your web browser. Because of this, user said an aveage of 30-50 minutes was added to their battery life.

Battery Doctor

Battery doctor is an application which allows you to clear background applications consuming data while still monitoring your battery strength and adds this advanced charging to your phone to  actually make it last longer. What users like about this app is how easy it is to operate at a touch of the button. With this app, a lot of users have reported increasing as much as 20-30 minutes of battery life with this application.

Brightness low

Generally speaking, if you want more power at the end of the day then you shouldn’t crank up the brightness whenever you feel like it. When its dim, lower the brightness just to the point you’re able to see and when it’s too sunny make sure to try move into a shady area or just simply use your phone later. You should deactivate auto adjust and try experimenting what works best for you. Because of this, users have reported an extra 15 minutes being added on their battery life.

Delete old apps

Downloaded Applications run in the background everytime you start up your smartphone no matter what application that is e.g Facebook, youtube, Chrome, Instagram, Angry birds. The reality is if you have a lot of apps & games you barely touch anymore it's better to uninstall them than just to leave them there thinking they won't do any harm but in reality, they start up in the background every time. If you really have use of all of thousands of applications installed on your phone, refer to App freezer below. You're welcome an extra 10-15 minutes has just been added!

Don’t use 4G 

As much as 4G is really popular and it is being embraced by billions of people worldwide, not only is it really expensive but it takes a lot of battery life! Don’t get me wrong, 4G is a great thing! But it really demands a lot from the user and if you think about it, you’re better of using 3G for posting your dumb photos on your Whatsapp status or reading group messages that won't benefit you in anyway. You can change your network generation by referring to the Android & Iphone guide.

Switch off Bluetooth and WI-FI

I can tell that half of smartphone owners don't even bother to check if Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is enabled and because of this, obviously their battery wil drain quicker. Not only is your smartphone slowly turing into a stove at the back, The main cause of this is using apps like Shareit or Xender and instead of disconnecting properly after sending Movies and Music you could have torrented by yourself, many users just minimize and this leaves WI-fi and Bluetooth active. (Don't believe me? Try it!)

Decrease Sleep time 

For newbies, Sleep time is the amount of time it takes your smartphone's display to go off after you haven't used it for some time. The typicall sleep time is 1-2 minutes on a phone and if you change it to 30 seconds of inactivity, Your battery knocks up a few extra minutes. If that doesn't sound much, just think about using all of these tips!

 Powerbank 

Well this is kinda obvious when you think about it. A powerbank is a device that charges your phone via USB cable, Right? Yes it is, But you should buy a powerbank according to how long you abuse your phone everyday so I will break it down for you:

1-3 Hour phone usage a day: 1500 mAH
3-6 Hour Phone usage a day: 2000-5000mAH
6-9 Hour phone usage a day: 5500-8000mAH
9-12 Hour phone usage a day: 8500-10,000mAH

20,000mAH is great if you don't bother with life and clearly want to waste your time but there is an exception when travelling over the world or you're super busy person and have a real job. You can also make a DIY powerbank.

Download app freezer

If you don't don't want to delete your dozens of apps you can just use an app freezer instead. It basically stops running the apps and services correspondeing to it  and in turn saves power along the way. In easier terms, It stops the app. When you go back to the frozen app you might start using it over again so make sure you whitelist the apps that you still want to run and blacklist the ones you don't want to run.
