Android phones are the latest gadgets around, and it’s not surprising to watch people enjoying them. Nonetheless, Android phones have their share of woes – insufficient battery power dominates the list. Thankfully, most of them can be treated effortlessly. Read on to find more.
Switch off unessential services:
Services like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS should not be kept switched ON always. Use it only when you need to transfer files or use a Bluetooth headset, while GPS should be used only if you are having difficulty finding your way around some place while travelling. Switch off GPS Geolocation features in any other app that makes use of it as well. You can use Wi-Fi only when you have an access point around. When you are on an airplane, switch to the Airplane mode to switch off all of these services at once. You can find this option in Settings > Wireless & networks > Airplane mode. These services drain a lot of battery and it is best to keep them switched OFF unless you really need to use them.
Switch off notifications:
While notifications are very useful, it is also true that they silently drain your battery power. It is best to switch off sound notifications as well as LED notifications to save battery. Manual check is certainly cumbersome but surely saves battery power.
Disable constantly syncing apps:
The same reason is valid for disabling syncing apps. Some built-in applications like Email, keeps on trying to access the internet at regular intervals without user intervention, thus reducing battery power. You can either set it to sync at longer intervals, or simply switch off automatic syncing. You can always sync it manually by hitting refresh button whenever you with to find out if you have got any new mails. This setting can be changed in the Email application in Accounts and sync > General sync settings and remove the checkbox next to Auto-sync. In addition to email, this will affect social networking applications and RSS feeds which tend to keep on trying to sync to find updates. You can manually sync to get updates for these applications.
Upgrade to the latest firmware:
Upgrading the firmware of your Android phone can lead to better battery life. This has been documented when upgrading from 1.x to 2.x. One of the reasons for the better battery life with the newer firmware is that it fixed the ever-present message application, which stayed on persistently, and now it goes to sleep, saving battery. In a similar way, it is also a good idea to update your apps to their latest versions as battery optimizations are usually done once in a while in newer versions.
Disable Adobe Flash:
Flash gives an enriching web experience but also consumes a lot of battery. Switching it off is one possible way of reducing battery consumption. You can set the browser to load Flash only when you want it to load. To do this, open the internet browser, press the Menu button on your Android phone, select More, go to Settings > Enable Plug-ins and set it to On demand.
Use Battery Usage Screen:
Android phones have a nifty little utility, which lets you monitor what apps consume the most power and thus affecting battery life the most. This is the Battery Usage Screen and you can access it by opening Settings > About Phone > Battery use. You can then decide what action needs to be taken.
