How to save battery life of phone for a longer period of time

Mobile phone is necessary for everyone but the usage of it depends upon the user itself. Everyone who uses phone wants a battery which could last for a longer period of time. For fulfilling this requirement, a person who is about to purchase a new phone keeps on searching different phones available in the market. Here in this blog, I'll tell you how you can save battery life of your phone:

1. Brightness Level

You have to take care of the brightness level of your phone. Adjust brightness according to the need, depending upon the daylight conditions. Don’t use the same amount of brightness in the night as during night it is not even necessary. You can use the option of auto- brightness also but still it will use the sensors and we have to use only important sensors.
Settings>Display>Brightness Level 
OR Drag quick settings bar down to adjust brightness manually

2. Avoid unnecessary tones and vibrations

Turn off the dial pad tones, tap sounds, screen locking sounds, screenshot sound and delete sound. For vibrations, keep the 'vibration during tap' 'OFF' and keep the vibration as light or medium.

Settings>Sound and Vibration>Additional Settings

3. Using sim cards and mobile network

This is the most important aspect you have to take into consideration. Keep the mobile data 'OFF' when not in use. I usually do it in the night. If you think that keeping the data off is not good for you, use 2G service because 4G service consumes more battery. At 2G speed, you will be able to receive all the important notifications. When you are in need of high speed internet, switch to the 4G mode.

Settings>SIM Cards & Mobile Networks>Sim Card Settings

4. Lock Screen

a). Sleep Time: Set the sleep time of your lock screen as minimum as possible. Ideally, your phone should go into sleep after one minute of inactivity.

b). Raise to wake: Turn 'OFF' raise to wake option.
c). Wallpaper Carousel: Don't use wallpaper carousel because it uses mobile data and deliver new wallpapers on your lock screen regularly.

Settings>Lock Screen

5. Dark Mode

Most of the phones now come with dark mode. If your phone supports dark mode, 'USE' it. Dark mode consumes very less energy and it will help significantly to save battery life of your phone. Many applications like UC Browser, Whats App etc. supports dark theme. Moreover, dark mode causes negligible strain on your eyes.

Settings>Display>Dark Mode

For Whats App

For UC Browser

                                                            

6. Wallpaper and Themes

Don’t use live wallpapers as they keep on running all the time. Some of the live wallpapers even make use of sensors to move. For themes, try to choose a theme with dark effects. 

7. Battery & Performance

If your battery is running out of power, keep an eye on battery usage stats. It will give you brief information that which application is consuming more power and  then will rank the applications accordingly. These applications keeps on consuming the power in the background and we never know it. So it’s better to close those applications which you are not currently using. 

Settings>Battery & Performance>Battery Usage Stats

In battery & performance, there is an option of Optimise. Optimise will help you in closing those applications which are putting more load on CPU and thus consuming excessive power from the battery. Features like these actually make your phone a 'SMART' phone.

Settings>Battery & Performance>Optimise

8. Battery Saver or Power Saver Mode

Using battery saver is an efficient way to save battery. The only thing you have to do is to turn it ‘ON’; rest all of the things will be done by your smart phone itself. During power saver mode, background applications with some services gets closed, data gets restricted and you will not receive any updates. So, it is advisable to turn it on only when your phone's battery is about to die. 

Settings>Battery & Performance>Battery Saver

9. Synchronization

Synchronization is used in mobile phones to get back the data when it’s not with you. By default, synchronization is always ‘ON’; it keeps on synchronizing and saving the data like photos, contacts, videos etc. to another associated server/cloud. As this process uses the internet data of your phone, it requires more energy. If you don’t want to save photos or other stuff to a server then you can disable the auto-synchronization to save phone’s battery.

Settings>Accounts & Sync> Turn off Auto-sync data

10. Power Adapter

Always juice up your phone with its original power adapter only. Power adapters of other brands may damage your phone. If you still want to charge your phone with another adapter due to any reason then don’t use your phone while charging it.

11. Power Bank

The last thing, I want to share with you is that if you are a hardcore user and the battery is still not lasting as per your expectation even after applying all the above methods then keeping a power bank always helps.

*As I am using Redmi Note 8 Pro, I have uploaded the photos of                            'ORIGINAL' - MI Power Adapter & MI Power Bank

12. Check the following points:

a). Mobile Data

b). GPS/Location
c). Wi-Fi

d). Bluetooth

e). Mobile Hotspot

f). System app updater (Settings>System apps updater>Settings>Auto updates>Don’t update)

Turn off all the above mentioned features if you are not using them. I have seen many mobile users with these features ‘ON’; even when they are not using them. You can find these features easily by dragging the quick settings bar down.

Conclusion: Mobile phone has number of advantages but to fulfill these advantages it needs a battery with good power capacity. Sometimes phone with big batteries does not last long after juicing it up to its fullest. Now, I hope you will apply any of the most suitable option suggested in this blog and save your battery’s life. Remember, sometimes merely 5% battery can be very helpful to you in your difficult time.

Conclusion: During the war against coronavirus, we should be very aware about our immunity and the various ways to increase it. I hope this article will help you a lot in this regard and the above mentioned items holds a great significance in the history of India which helps Indians a lot in increasing their immunity. I'm saying this because during these days, some people around the world are trolling Indians by a saying "Indians are immune because they are grown up in dirty atmosphere, so the effects of viruses is less among Indians". May be you are right but India has enlightened the world with its rich culture, Ayurveda, Yoga and not to forget the word 'Namaste'.
