Are you struggling to save battery life on Android devices?
Both of us hate being fined regularly. When we intend to purchase our latest smartphone, battery backup still matters now.
There are plenty of Android smartphones on the market with decent battery backup, but they don’t have an unlimited battery life, unfortunately. So here are some easy hacks on your Android devices to save battery life.
Over the past few years, a variety of factors have conspired to decrease gadget stamina. Thinner designs have less battery space, larger and brighter displays, faster quad-core processors, more background applications, and all share responsibility for power-hungry GPS radios. The move from 3G to 4G networks a few years ago—particularly of the LTE variety—has also taken its toll.
Save battery life on Android devices :
Black wallpaper save battery Life
Yes, its strange but true, black wallpaper can save battery life of your Android smartphone.
Why black wallpaper? — Because most smartphones in the market AMOLED screen which only illuminate the colored pixels. And black pixels are unlit, so the more black pixels you have, or the darker pixels, the less power is needed to light them up.
Who drains your battery
It is necessary to find this strategy, just find the culprit who is responsible for draining your battery.
You can do it by going to “Settings > Battery“.
This choice breaks down what your phone’s battery absorbs. Applications and features will be seen in a chart of battery hogs below. You’ll want to uninstall the software or turn off the feature if you find an application that you rarely use or a feature you never use.

Turn off automatic brightness
Automatic Brightness — sounds useful feature, but don’t go for it.
Automatic brightness is actually typically much brighter than you really need. It’s easier to set the brightness to a low yet comfortable level manually, and bump it up when appropriate. This is one of the easiest ways to conserve battery life, since one of the main battery suckers is the screens.
Apps refresh frequency
The next method is controlling refresh frequency of some apps. Apps checking for new emails and other data in the background updates frequently to fetch new information. This frequent background fetching of data will drain your battery fast.
So to disable this just go to “Settings > Accounts” and uncheck Auto-sync data to prevent your Android device from automatically syncing with your Google accounts (and other accounts) in the background. Uncheck Auto-sync data to prevent your Android device from automatically syncing with your Google accounts (and other accounts) in the background. And also force off apps that work on background.
Shorter sacreen timeout setting saves battery life
Set the screen timeout of your monitor to as short a time as is feasible for you.
Just imagine, if your screen timeout is set to a minute, four times more power will be used than if your screen timeout was set to 15 seconds. The average smartphone user turns their smartphone on 150 times a day, studies say, so the difference between a long screen timeout and a brief one easily adds up. This reduction would help keep the battery going for longer.
Switch Off Vibrate
Turn Vibrate off. Switch off vibration warnings for incoming calls unless you really need the added sensitivity. To vibrate your phone, it actually takes more power than it does to ring it.
Use lock screen notifications or widgets
Battery life can also be protected by locking screen alerts or locking screen widgets. This is because without having to turn the entire computer on, you can display the updates at a glance. This is particularly useful if you get loads of updates that are not immediately worth following up on.
Stay offline
You don’t have to be wired 24/7 to the internet, which enhances the use of data and drains the battery as well. So use the internet when you need to, including shutting it off during your hours of sleep and office hours.
Original batteries
Use only original batteries directly from the manufacturer. This one is significant. It is indeed a poor option to save a few bucks on a battery that could harm your beloved smartphone, which may also offer sub-standard battery efficiency.
Apps lite version
Opting lite versions of Android apps over the main edition there would certainly help you reduce the battery usage. Since lightweight Android apps are slipped versions of the main app, but to save your Android device battery life, you can have to sacrifice certain features for the greater good.
Turn off animations
Another ideal way to maximize battery usage on Android devices is to adjust animation settings. But you have to access “Developer Choices” to change the animation settings, a choice that is concealed within your Android settings.
To enter into Developer mode, go to “Settings>>About phone” and tap on “Build number” a few times and then go back to the main settings page to find the activated “Developer Options”. Now go to enabled Developer Options, and scroll down to find three options namely “Window animation scale“, “Transition animation scale” and “Animator duration scale” and turn them off.
Turn off unwanted services
After their use, we often forget to disable such services such as WiFi, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth without understanding their negative effect on the battery life of your Android device. Most of these services are constantly surveying routers for your knowledge, to find nearby Bluetooth devices or WiFi connections or GPS satellites, even if they are not accessible at that time.
So swipe down your notification bar and disable all these services after their use to save your device battery life.
Greenify
Unlike any other third-party apps which claim to save battery life on Android — Greenify is the trusted one. Greenify saves your battery life by pushing apps into a kinda hibernation mode and stop them from running background until you reopen them again. Since some of the advanced features of Greenify work only on the rooted device — though still works well on non-rooted devices too.
