How to extend your Android work

Extend the life of the smartphone without charging is one of the most important tasks for the advanced user and anyone else who is often confronted with the lack of ability to charge the battery cell device.

Earlier, we wrote about the ways of pumping smartphone, paying great attention to reduce the charge rate. Today we compile already described earlier advice and add some new ones.

Let's start with the fact that the standard scenario screen smart phone use actually is the main consumer of battery life. It can represent up to 80% of the energy. That optimization settings screen gives the most significant increase in the period of the smartphone.

Automatic brightness setting

If you do not spend most of your time in the sun, you are unlikely to need to put up for maximum backlight. The most sensible thing would be to allow the device to determine the appropriate intensity of the display backlight.

If the expected long stay in the room, then you can maximize savings set the minimum intensity of illumination at which the information on the screen will remain I see.

Quick access to functions

If your smartphone is not provided svetosensorom or sensor is not working properly, then the only convenient exit remains install widgets for quick access to brightness settings display. We like Power Toggles. It's free, no ads and in Russian. In addition to the levels of illumination, this widget offers quick access to almost all the current functions of the smartphone, which affect the consumption charge: GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi.

Time to turn off the screen

Often smartphone screen works when we do not look at him. What for? This senseless waste of charge. If a multimedia application, and so it will not leave the smartphone in sleep mode, but in other cases you can set the time to turn off the screen in the minimum interval.

Experiment. It is likely that instead of default moments before sleep will be enough of 15-30 seconds.

Smart Wi-Fi

From version to version, developers have perfected the mechanism of saving charging when the Wi-Fi. fourth version of the Android smart phone provides the user with a single option of switching to economy mode while working Wi-Fi.

Depending on the specific operating system build in additional wireless network settings can be enabled or another option to save battery. The most effective of these is to disable Wi-Fi module when switching smartphone in sleep mode. The only thing you should pay attention at such variant - the ability to automatically shift to the smartphone 3G. To jumps between communication modes are not nullified the benefits of disabling module Wi-Fi, you need to slightly adjust the timing of applications and accounts.

synchronization hands

Often we do not particularly need the constant synchronization of applications and accounts. If we are talking about the mail, once is enough refreshes Gmail, to receive all new messages. Permanent synchronization is necessary only in case of urgent standby letters. The same applies to mobile applications, cloud storage and social services.

Decide for yourself which of the connected accounts and installed applications really need to automatically update, and what cost and user.

Intervals and notifications

Many applications allow you to specify the interval between synchronizations. It is possible that the setting of this parameter will be the golden mean between the constant automatic synchronization and forced the user.

Do not forget about the notifications. The developers are so concerned about the user MUST saw very important to them point of view the information as soon as it becomes available, they are trying to push notifications for almost every events. Decide for yourself what kind of notification and from which applications you really need, then go over and turn off any unnecessary notifications.

It might seem like a notification affects the charge? There is one subtlety.

Vibrate and Vibrate

Of course, the Haptic feedback is very convenient, especially when typing. The same can be said of the vibrator. However, each such vibration - the result of the inclusion mikromotorchika, work is wasted energy.

Disable vibration will charge a rate reduction.

Widgets and live wallpaper

Visualization - this is very good, but it should be understood that each such widget in the active mode, the device consumes a certain amount of resources. Try to analyze the need for the presence of on-screen widgets and all current limit to only the most necessary.

Live Wallpaper - a very controversial thing. On the one hand, they were beautiful, and the beauty bypass any static images. On the other hand, these wallpapers are very voracious in terms of resources. Turning off live wallpapers, you will notice not only a reduction in battery consumption, but also a clear increase smoothness and running speed in general.

If you have a device with an AMOLED screen, we advise all remove wallpaper, leaving in their place a black screen.

The system does not lose in beauty (on the contrary, a solid black background very cool overcame, and color elements to it seem more clearer and brighter), and the battery will live 20-30% longer.

unused applications

If you're not using the app, it does not mean that it does not work. Yes, the inactive processes do not actually eat up system resources, but in addition to the application itself can be an active one of its services, or application periodically synchronize any data. Remove unwanted applications, Android will thank you.

Option for the lazy

By optimizing each element of the hands of the system would not be desirable, in Google Play is a set of solutions to extend the battery life. One of the most popular today can be called Juice Defender. Although we refer to such pieces were skeptical, user reviews say about the effectiveness of the application. Also it should be noted that these applications will not be the magic wand for your smartphone. They, too, will have to adjust, as the default configuration, though universal, but not as effective.

Have something to add? We look forward to your advice in the comments!
