The adage “nothing lasts forever” probably rings a bell. This is particularly true if you care about your smartphone’s battery life.
Modern smartphones, which are both thin and stylish, are great for switching between tasks quickly and easily. They may be used to fund a mobile device, allowing you to shop without lugging around bulky plastic.
This is what gives cellphones their “smart” reputation. Most smartphone owners share a common complaint about their devices’ short battery lives. The battery life of cellphones often decreases with time, but in some cases it decreases considerably more rapidly than expected.
For those who have installed wireless smoke and CO detectors in their homes, it is important to ensure that their smartphones have sufficient power to receive warnings even while they are away from home. Because even if the alarm goes off, you won’t be in the area to hear it and will instead be alert via your phone.
Moreover, it is quite frustrating to be in the middle of a WhatsApp video conference just to have the notification “5% battery remaining” pop up. You’ll mess with your cords while trying to charge your phone quickly. There’s always the option of buying a portable battery pack if you don’t already have one, but why not just work on making your phone last longer?
If you have high-speed internet, you certainly want to enjoy yourself while you’re connect; but, a dead battery might put a damper on your plans. Please find below seven suggestions for extending the life of your smartphone’s battery.
Use Caution to Avoid Extremes of Temperature
If your phone becomes too hot, you know it’s not a good sign. This also applies to overcooling them.
Whether it’s too hot or too cold, the battery life of your smartphone might be impact. In other words, avoid leaving your phone in a vehicle alone for long periods of time.
It’s also not a good idea to set your phone down on a warm floor or table. These batteries can only function properly within a narrow temperature range. Therefore extremes in either direction should be seen as red flags.
Just-in-time charging for when you really need it
Fast charging is not only a convenient function, but a crucial one, and we acknowledge its importance.
But don’t think that means your phone’s battery life will improve as a result of this. Forget about your phone’s flashy features for a second and think about how you might extend its battery life instead. If you want to keep your phone battery for the long term, read tips on to get enough information. In addition to significantly decreasing the battery’s lifespan, repeated fast charging can cause serious damage to the battery’s internal components.
Instead, try to use your standard charger as often as possible. Maybe only consider quick charging if you really, really need to top off your battery ASAP.
Think About the Battery Life Cycle
A full charge on a mobile device is when the percentage indicator goes from zero to one hundred. However, if you only charge it to around 50%, it’s not fully charg. If you did it twice, you’d have a full charge.
So, what exactly is the catch here? If you want to maximize your phone’s battery life, you should limit how often and how much you charge it. The increased frequency of charging will have a more detrimental impact on battery health given how often we use our cellphones.
So, the fewer frequently you charge your phone, the longer its battery will survive.
It is not necessary to constantly have “Low Power Mode” turned on.
To get the most life out of your smartphone’s battery while consuming the least amount of power. You may want to switch to a battery-saving or low-power mode.
However, now days most of us just leave it on 24/7. The smartphone’s functionality and battery life will suffer as a result. Less power is used, and the device has a lower chance of working properly.
Turn down the screen’s brightness
Dimming the screen of your smartphone helps preserve battery life. This is especially useful for larger displays.
Only when you’re outside or when the sun is directly overhead should you turn up your screen’s brightness to its maximum. Otherwise, on regular days, you should maintain the brightness at 75% or lower.
The brightness of the screen on both iOS and Android devices may be adjust by lowering the screen and adjusting the brightness scale.
Power-hungry apps should be avoid.
Be sure your device is fully charge or connect to an outlet. When doing tasks that use more of a device’s resources, such viewing a video or playing a multiplayer game, the battery will drain faster.
High-end games, productivity suites like Adobe Photoshop and Apple IMovie. And 3D image rendering tools all use a lot of resources and drain batteries. It takes less effort to type notes or surf the web.
Put Location Services on Hold
A smartphone’s GPS receiver, which is constantly being ping by the countless apps install on each device, is the single largest drain on battery life. There is an option to turn off all GPS features or just the ones you don’t need.
Limit the amount of time the screen goes black for (auto-lock)
If you don’t interact with your screen for a set amount of time. Often one or two minutes, the screen will turn off by itself. Shortening the Screen Timeout period can help conserve power. I think the iPhone’s Auto-Lock is set at two minutes by default, which may be too long. Maybe one minute, or even less than that, is all you need. However, if you choose to lower auto-lock or screen timeout. Your screen may fade too fast when you’re in the middle of reading an article or recipe.
My Galaxy S7’s screen timeout is program-specific, and I achieve this with the help of Tasker, an automation tool. My default screen timeout is just 35 seconds, but I increase it to well over a minute for programmes where I know I’ll be staring at the screen. But not really using it, like news and note-taking apps.
After All
If you want to talk about smart technology as a whole, cellphones are perhaps the best thing to come along. They’ve changed the way we go about our everyday routines. On the other hand, it has made us more reliant on always having a fully charge phone.
Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, therefore we have to keep our phones charged at all times, which eventually drains the battery. We have given you the most basic advice possible to help your battery last longer.
