Tips To make your cellphone battery more powerful and efficient

Battery life is one of the biggest problems in the Android world today. This is a pretty sad affair when I count the smartphone's active time today in a few hours, not days, with a standard metric for a decent battery life is whether a cell phone can last a working day on a single charge. So is there any realistic thing you can do to increase the battery life of your cellphone, besides just turning it off, putting it on the table? Here are some easy, not too compromising methods to increase the battery life of your Android phone.

1. Set sleep time for cellphones

Cellphones need time to rest as well as humans. Some cellphones now have an automation tool, which allows you to turn off cellphone and Wi-Fi signals for a certain time. Placing your cellphone in this kind of power state will save power, so if your cell phone doesn't support scheduled activities, install a management application like Tasker and turn off all unnecessary things at night. Or paste it on airplane mode yourself. You will sleep better too.

2. Disable Wi-Fi when not needed

If your cell phone constantly tries to connect to any Wi-Fi signal in that area it can be draining. Turn off Wi-Fi when going out when you know you won't need it.

3. Upload and sync only on Wi-Fi

If you are a sharp Dropbox user or rely heavily on music synchronization services, you will benefit greatly from only uploading via Wi-Fi. This is much faster, which means less connectivity time for your cell phone and less pressure on old lithium reserves.

4. Uninstall unnecessary applications

You can never be too sure what runs alone in the background, what's with all the multi-tasking, self-uploading, auto-replication features in today's modern Android applications, so at least minimize the possibility of something randomly gathering all your batteries by constantly- continuously trying to connect to some server that doesn't exist, by removing old or unused applications.

5. Use push notifications if possible

The default Android email application is great and stylish and everything, but asking for polls for messages every 15 minutes is not the best for your battery. If your email provider offers push notification support, just use it - a good standalone Hotmail application, for example, which will help reduce a little of the drained power.

6. Check your cellphone

Apps like Battery Doctor will give you a far better indication of what is really eating away at your phone's battery over time compared to Android's limited battery life checker, which can help find something that is a major cause of draining power. And if you can live without it, bin.

7. Install the brightness switch widget

Set your phone to the minimum brightness possible by default, because this is your screen which is by far the biggest power user. Then paste the high / low brightness toggle widget on the home screen, where you can find it without being able to see it (like when using your ultra-dreary cellphone outside now). Then only max brightness when you need to. This might help, and even the automatic brightness option uses a small amount of power, because the light sensor needs to ... feel the light.
