5 TRICKS TO SAVE BATTERY ON YOUR SMARTPHONE
One of the most important aspect of a smartphone, that feature that for many is fundamental in the purchase phase, is certainly autonomy. In fact, there are people who are always on the go and hardly manage to charge their mobile device during the day. techsupportreviews Of course, there are power banks, but these can be inconvenient in certain contexts.
Well, after having brought you into the world of economic
devices with the best autonomy , it is time to see how to optimize the
resources in your possession , putting in place five important measures, which
many users forget too often.
Turn off vibration on touch and auto brightness
Often, by default, smartphones have activated both the
option related to vibration on touch and that linked to automatic brightness.
Well, although these two possibilities are convenient in certain contexts, in
reality they are far from necessary to use your device properly. In fact, you
can type well on the keyboard even without vibration, while by manually setting
the brightness you can use the screen according to your needs with a few simple
taps. Clearly, the lower the screen brightness, the more battery you will save.
Understand which apps consume the most battery
If the autonomy of your smartphone has started to drop
considerably following the installation of a certain application , you would do
well to consider uninstalling it or limiting its use. In fact, often some users
install "secondary" applications that weigh on the battery, not allowing
the device to arrive in the evening. Usually, just "take a ride" in
the settings section dedicated to the battery, analyze the apps that consume
the most, take the necessary precautions and you're done.
Turn off connectivity when not in use
If you leave the house, you don't need to keep the Wi-Fi
setting turned on, while you don't need use your data connection when you are
at home. In short, you will have already understood where we want to go: if you
want to save battery, it can be important to disable these features. In
particular, many forget Bluetooth enabled (which, at times, on the iPhone
starts by default when the smartphone is turned on), NFC and GPS. We also
recommend that you take a look at the smartphone settings related to
geolocation , as you may have kept high accuracy activated, which combines
Wi-Fi, GPS and data connection.
In that case, you should try setting the low power mode
(which uses only Wi-Fi and data connection). Of course, everything always
varies according to your needs.
Learn about the power saving mode
To some it may seem strange, but there are many users who
categorically refuse to activate the power saving mode . In fact, there is
often a misperception of this functionality, since in the past it could have
had important limitations during daily use. Today the reality is very different
and almost all the major manufacturers implement energy saving modes on their
smartphones that allow you to get a few hours of extra activity without having
to compromise too many.
To give you concrete examples, some visual effects are often
limited, such as those you see when you rotate a video on YouTube. In short, we
try to "intervene" on secondary functions and not directly on the
basic ones (so don't worry, we don't touch on aspects such as sending messages
via WhatsApp or managing calls). In this context, it is useful to take the
energy saving mode implemented on the Google Pixel with the latest version of
Android is being examined.
The Mountain View company has decided to make this feature
act on two main aspects: the activation of the dark theme (which saves battery
on OLED screens) and the deactivation or limitation of background activities ,
some visual effects and of secondary options like "Ok Google". Put
simply, the "foreground" apps aren't even touched, so you shouldn't
have any problems with basic operations.
Our advice is to try to activate energy saving, which is
managed differently from smartphone to smartphone, and see if the latter is
able to adapt to your needs without too many problems. You could make an
interesting discovery and be able to arrive again in the evening, perhaps by
activating this feature only in the hours when you use the device less.
The issue of recharging
Here we enter one of the most discussed fields: recharging.
In the past, when mobile devices still used nickel-cadmium batteries (early
90s), many have learned to completely discharge the battery, in order to avoid
long-term deterioration. Well, things have changed and now smartphones are all
equipped with lithium batteries. The latter work differently and experts
usually recommend keeping the charge level between 30% and 80% . Put simply, it
starts charging when the device is at 30% and disconnects it when it is at 80%.
In fact, this little trick is able to extend the life of the
battery. However, do not take this as 100% accurate, as a 100% refill can
sometimes help. If you want to learn more, we recommend that you take a look at
the research carried out by Battery University (in English).
