Human one of the most intelligent species on earth. Human brain can learn, innovate, discover, and create the finest and can produce the most beautiful things out of the raw material in nature. But as other animals our body needs fuel to work, to think, to innovate and to inspire. And that is fuel is the food that we consume daily. Unlike green plants we cannot prepare our food by photosynthesis process or any other. So we consume the energy by eating other plants or animals.

All the types of energies that we are using on earth muscular energy, tidal energy, chemical energy, energy from fossil and fuels and solar energy are the direct or indirect result of the energy that is provided to us by the SUN. So the Sun is responsible for all the energy transverse on the Earth.

As we all know our companion of the modern world our smartphone also needs an energy source and that energy source is the battery that is there in the phone. But according to our use, the battery is generally not sufficient to work for the whole day. So sustainable use of battery is very important. So today we are going to discuss some of the best ways to use our battery to make it long lasting.

10 battery saving tips for your Android smartphone

1. Wallpaper should be simple and dark

Many of us don’t know that the animated wallpapers and moving wallpapers will consume twice as much as battery that a dark non animated and non-moving wallpaper will consume. And one of the biggest reason that our battery drains is the large and bright screen that we use in the smartphones. So try to use a simple and dark wallpapers as the brightness will be low so your battery will drain slowly.

2. DU Battery Saver & Phone Charger

3. Clean Master (Boost & AppLock)

This app enables you to know which apps are using more battery and it hibernates many such apps. It also cleans all the junk that we have so it indirectly increases the battery life too.

4. Decrease the screen time out

As all of us don’t have the habit of locking the phone as soon as we are finished using it. So especially for such users we should decrease the screen time out. It is the time after which phone will be automatically locked after when we are stopped interacting with it. So we should keep it minimum for using our battery smartly.

5. Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and 3G/4G if you’re not using them

Many of us are using the wireless services almost every time so we forget to switch these services even when we are not using them. Wireless services like wi-fi, Bluetooth and 3G and 4G are one of the most vulnerable battery drainers. So make this a habit to switch these services off while you are not using them.

6. Disable GPS if you are not using it

Another biggest reason we drain our battery is the GPS service that we are using so please use the GPS service only when you require it. If you GPS is on many apps are using it simultaneously and at every point of time your phone will detect where you are and will report the same to all the apps and this will surely drain a lot of battery.

7. Use the Doze

In smartphones we have a new feature called doze. So if you enable the doze feature it will hibernate all your apps if you are not using your phone for some prolonged time. The benefit of this feature is that your phone will sleep when you will be sleeping and will drain 2-3% battery only instead of 25-30% as earlier.

Don’t leave your battery in direct sunlight or any place with high temperature as we know the battery works best in cool places and will drain out with a very fast rate if used in a hot atmosphere or if it is in direct contact with sunlight. Our most common mistake is to keep the phone in a car parked in direct sunlight. So try to avoid such mistakes.

10. Use battery case

In the last case when all these tricks are not working for you. You can use the battery case it is a case which charge your battery while you are using the phone many companies are launching the types of case nowadays.

Myths regarding battery saving

Force closing and relaunching an app drains more battery: it might sound a good idea to force closing the apps to save the battery but in real if you relaunch that app it would technically drain more battery.

Wi-Fi can work as GPS sometimes: Yes if your Wi-Fi connection is good enough than instead of using a GPS your phone might use the Wi-Fi connection to get your location and that will save battery.

Disabling some apps like Siri and google now don’t help at all: many apps don’t even matter to battery so if you disable such apps will not have any benefit regarding battery life.

Using the same charger: using the same charger that company provides you is a good idea but not the best. Of Course some very cheap chargers may destroy your battery life but some good chargers may even get your battery life better and might even charge your phone faster.

So in conclusion I would like to add that sustainable use of energy is very necessary in today’s world. And when it comes to devices that we use almost every time like our smartphones we should take special care of the sustainable use because we can save more for others and our future generation.
