How to conserve your Smartphone battery

By Staff Writer

Multi-functional smartphones nowadays are one of the daily essentials of life. But for people who spent a major part of their day outdoors, its battery timings becomes a major issue.

According to Hongkiat, smartphones belonging to global brands such as Apple, BlackBerry, Samsung and others are equipped with multiple features.

Some of the most influential  mobile operating systems include Nokia's Symbian, Google's Android, Apple's iOS. These features enable the user to  have access to multiple things, such as playing games, listen to mp3s, snap pictures, have access to the Net and even stream videos and much more.

A big concern for the developers, manufacturers and the consumers is the battery life of a device which comes with multiple capabilities and features. Most smartphones possess a battery life of approximately one or two days maximum, which needs to be charged after that.

However, battery life can be extended, productively managed and utilized with little or no waste, just like our energy levels. The unwanted consumption of the battery can be reduced by following some easy tips. These can prove to be useful without the necessity to take a spare battery and battery charger along with you everywhere you go.

First, vibrations notify a user about different notifications, incoming calls or messages. This feature is especially useful when in a meeting, theatre or some other place where the phone should be on silent mode. But it should be instantly turned to ringtone mode where the vibration feature is not necessary, thus conserving battery.

Secondly, as mentioned by Verizon, Wi-Fi consumes a lot of battery life as it is always in search for signals. When not in use, turn off the Wi-Fi. Other than that, when you are not around a strong signal, turn off your 4G LTE to save battery.

Third, some apps like iOptimizer or Battery graph can be quite useful. They boost and monitor your battery timings and also use.

Fourth, notification of your emails and social media needs power. In order to conserve battery when not in use, turn off the notifications and disable location-based services.

Fifth, as reported by Tech Life, putting your phone on maximum brightness leads the battery to get down. Either put your phone on automatic brightness adjustment or manually tap it to a low level without putting your eyes on stress to see your screen properly.

Adjust your time intervals to control the inactivity of your phone before the screen blacks out and locking of a device also affect battery management.

Bruno Scap, president of the technology management firm Galeas Consulting, explained a battery saving rule and said, "Do not expose your phone to high temperatures. Leaving your phone in direct sunlight or in a hot car will cause the battery to overheat and degrade at a much faster pace."

Lastly, update your apps with time to increase operating efficiency. Other than that after your battery fills up with a charge, unplug your device from the charger to maintain your power source's working ability.

These battery saving tips can enable a user to roam around without the stress of unnecessary decline of Smartphone's battery life or keeping the charger along all the time.
