The autonomy of mobile terminals is a real headache for users. There are many ways that are sought to increase it, such as the use of specific applications, but there are some simple tips that if followed, it is possible save battery without excessive complications.
All options are basic and complex processes are not used, so it is a first step to achieve optimize the consumption of an Android terminal when saving battery. We already announced that we will make other articles in which we will offer more complex options that allow reducing energy consumption and, of course, also a list of applications that help precisely this.
But, now, it is the first step that we are going to take to get all the "juice" out of the battery that is included in the Android terminal that you have, be it a phone or a tablet. Of course, do not expect miracles, since the hardware is a key factor that with the advice that we indicate cannot be varied. But, what is certain, is that you will notice that it has to charge your device more widely (As long as it is not used intensively, if so, you cannot ask for "pears al elm").
Tips to save battery
Here is what you have to do to save battery life on your Android terminal. All options are simple to apply and some of them use the operating system's own options. Without further ado, we provide these basic recommendations:
-
Manage the brightness: this is a key factor in the consumption of mobile devices, since the higher this value of the screen, the consumption shoots up. Therefore, a correct configuration of this section allows an obvious battery saving. Using this parameter as automatic (Auto) is the usual thing that many users do. Ideally, you should manually set the display settings in the settings and place it below the middle of the slider - except outdoors, when you may need more brightness. With this you get a remarkable saving.
-
Disable functionalities: in many cases there are different options of the Android terminals that are activated and are not used, and this is not at all positive (since constant scans are usually carried out to see if it is possible to use them, which impacts autonomy ). An example of what we say is the WiFi antenna or Bluetooth connectivity. Therefore, it is highly recommended to disable these to save battery life. This is as simple as using the terminal's shortcuts, which are displayed from the Notification Bar. Except for mobile data, the rest of the possibilities must be reviewed: WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS… everything counts.
-
Automatic synchronizationThis is something that we have seen first-hand that it is possible without losing functionality and that it is very worthwhile when it comes to saving battery life. There are some accounts registered in Android terminals (they are located in the Settings, in a section with the indicated entities name). The fact is that by clicking on each of them you access the corresponding sliders and you can manage each option. We recommend that you check Google's, where possibilities such as Books or Movies can be canceled without problems. In addition, other cloud services, such as storage, are susceptible to not being synchronized.
-
Saving the operating system itself: for some time now, most of the terminals with Android offer what is called Energy Saving Mode. If your phone or tablet is modern, in the Battery section of the Settings you can find it (it may be in a specific place, such as Huawei). The fact is that activating this option allows you to save battery drastically, so you should always use it. Always.
-
Disable OK Google: this function, which is always active, is what allows the device to “wake up” with the voice indicating these words. It is useful, but if it is not used regularly what it does is consume battery. Therefore, not working is a very good idea and there is always the manual use of Google Now. To achieve this and save battery use the Google application and in the Settings you must select Voice. Here you must disable the OK Google function. You can always modify this parameter.
