Extend Your Phone Battery Life

Extend Your Phone Battery Life with this simple tips

➤ You don't need to be connected 24/7

Turn off GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and mobile data whenever you don't need them. Turning off location data, or changing your location settings to use Wi-Fi or 3G data rather than GPS works perfectly well. This will increase battery on your Android device.

➣➣First, turn off Bluetooth, GPS (Settings > Location > switch to off *or* tap Mode > Battery saving), and sync for apps (Settings > Under “Accounts” select which apps to stop syncing (Google, Facebook, and chat apps are probably big culprits)). This will cut most of the battery drainage.

➤Next, go to Settings > Battery to see which apps are using most. It’ll probably be your screen or any app that requires GPS. Tap the app to “force stop.”

➤You can also see all apps that are currently running by going to Settings and tapping the Running section (for Moto X), then closing those apps.

➤Don't use adaptive/auto brightness

Don't use display auto-brightness. It may sound useful, but auto-brightness is usually way brighter than you really need. It's better to manually set the brightness to a level that is low but comfortable, and bump it up when necessary. This is one of the best ways to improve your battery life, because the screen is one of the biggest battery suckers.

To ensure your adaptive/auto brightness is off go into the Quick settings in many devices and you should see Auto with a box above and a checkmark in it. Uncheck this box and your auto will be off.

 With some devices you might need to go into the Settings then tap Display. From there you should see Brightness level and in it you'll find the auto settings.

If you’re really desperate, turn your brightness all the way down and turn off keyboard sound and vibration (Settings > Language & input > settings icon next to “Google Keyboard” > Preferences > unselect “Sound on keypress”).

➤Turn off vibrate and haptic feedback to save battery

Switch off vibrate. Unless you really need that added awareness, turn off vibration alerts for incoming calls. It actually takes more power to vibrate your phone than it does to ring it.

➤Use Greenify

Unlike many Android apps that claim to optimize performance and increase battery life, Greenify actually works. Greenify allows you to put other apps into hibernation when they aren't in use, preventing them from operating in the background.

…or you could just buy a wallet that charges your phone, like this ($80).
