Btw, dark mode helps saving battery if your phone has an AMOLED, or OLED (yes, i know there are many difderent names, but still), because in the black areas, the pixels turn off. However in an LCD screen for example, they don't.

[@KyalHawker]

Well done 👏👏

[@sv6743]

LCD is more efficient as they are not rated for high brightness as high as oled and LCD don't need to light up every individual pixel making them more efficient than OLED.Yes OLED are quite inefficient in power consumption.Proof OLED phones give better battery backup in indoor conditions if you are outdoors in direct or indirect sunlight the phone consumes significantly more battery LCD display don't suffer from this trait.

[@islamp3140]

Actually there is not difference

[@felipeferreira00]

@@islamp3140 There is a difference if you use an OLED bro ☠️

[@AngryCanine]

Instead of removing animations, go into the developer options by tapping the build number in software settings I believe, 10 times, scroll down to animation speed and set it to 0.5, which makes all animations 2 times faster, taking up less time, making the phone feel more snappy, and best of all, you still have them, they are not simply gone.

[@TiesiogYoutubenaudotojas1]

Animations sucks

[@user-ww9yw4zi8m]

Thanks for tips, found some I never knew about, more battery life please :) Thanks.

[@MikeDS49]

24: You still have to unlock the device after a restart, or important app alerts or notifications can be missed.

[@blukmage19typeR]

It may work for Samsung users, but it didn't completely apply to my phone, that is a Motorola. But nevertheless, it works wonders and makes a big difference. Thank you.

[@Scott-M1]

23: I think protect battery is there to reduce charge cycles, and battery wear, by not always going from 100% to 0% all the time. Which is bad for lithium ion batteries. Personally i use protect battery, and switch it off when doing a full charge every 1-2 months. For non-removable batteries, this is a must imo.

[@javadj184]

Keeping the phone at charge after fully charged put a lot of stress on the battery, this feature is handy for people who put their phone to get charged at night while sleeping.

[@herr_L.]

Yeah. It's a bit sad that they don't know why this feature exists and how batteries work when they are making videos doing recommendations on increasing battery life..

[@davinkeee]

yup. and another thing they got wrong: a third-party charger cannor "cram" way too much energy into your phone, because the phone wouldn't accept it.

[@flo0778]

​@@javadj184 I don't think what you say is true though. I think what truely deteriorates the battery is charging too fast when at very high / low battery, which is preventend by the new PD-like protocols of USB-C (able to deliver very low power)

[@joshfixall7938]

Yes that is called high "C" (rate of charge or discharge)​@@flo0778

[@goofyrulez7914]

What they really need to do is more battery research to make batteries last for years... like the promised Glass Batteries. Thank you for this informative video.

bigCompaniesbeLike: dont break the glass wheel when it aint broken...Apple sells their most expensive phone with the previous years specs, others rebrands their old phones and tag it new for resell, most wrap a garbage and rebrands it as new with higher price.... people nowadays are so dumb they would give 1000 dollar of their hard earned money for a device that a 100 phone can do...

Another thing to do is close out all apps in memory after using them - this is done by clicking on the three bars at the bottom of the screen and clicking the whisk icon - this in turn frees up memory...

[@ikejennings1154]

Nice video , But ,just letting folks know!! By removing animations!! 2 things will be obvious, No charging wheel on plug in charges..Your search wheel ,dissapears,.. Search wheel just stays in a pointed arrow, then it logs on Also alot of flickering , with you tube searches.. by removing animations Also!! We all know it's dead wrong for brands to spy, just know, ( which can happen)) If any of us thinks ,you can just oust these brands from snooping etc....Disabling ,etc..The phones can act up..they let ya know that at times( misbehaving) ..They find a way with disabling ,for anyone's privacy etc..They'll goof ur phone up somehow. Thanx for the video...

You missed: Switch off your phone. Switching on your phone drains battery.

[@Channel-gn9hc]

Do you mean the frequent on and off or something else?

[@vortexOGgg]

My friend, Life is too short to worry about smartphone battery.😎

[@Channel-gn9hc]

@@vortexOGgg So, the answer is no or yes? If you know. Thanks

[@vortexOGgg]

Absolutely NO. If you watch this video carefully you will see that it suggests you to turn off all good features of your smartphone. In that way you will not have fun using your smartphone to its full potential. That's why I made that sarcastic remark that you need to switch off your smartphone when you are not using it to save battery. The ultimate battery saver but very unpracticle.

[@Channel-gn9hc]

@@vortexOGgg Basically, I misunderstood your comment, I thought you meant that turning the phone off and on frequently is draining the battery. But you added a period after the phrase "Switch off your phone", I didn't see that before "drains battery" you didn't add a period, and I thought your original comment was this: "turning the phone off and on frequently, drains battery".

[@meansngwenya1396]

Hie Guys I need help with my Redmi note 13 pro plus 5G. When I bought it, it actually came with Memory tagging extension (MTE ) turned on. The notification says Experimental Memory tagging extension turned on and may affect phone performance. I have looked for ways to turn it and I have failed.

[@Destructor8031]

A charge it will not put too much power Into your device, A modern device will draw whatever current necessary based on the charge level and the temperature of the battery. This statement saying you shouldn't use cheap charges is. However, correct, but whether you choose a Samsung approved charger or any other decent charge will make absolutely no difference to the weird level of your Battery what's the battery protector setting which limits To 85% Is to increase the overall life spine of the battery by reducing degradation. Lithium cells do not like being held at 100% or their full charge voltage for extended periods of time Most lithium batteries are rated for approximately 800-1200 Charge cycles before they lose 20% of their capacity. By limiting the full charge to 85 You are not fully cycling the battery and therefore you slow down the degradation. You see a lot of phones now. Advertising fast charging or quick charging at a rated maximum wattage. That advertised charging rate is only the peak and it will only charge at those speeds for a very short amount of time and then it reduces the charge rate as it gets closer to full charge. If you have a device rated for 45 Watts, a new buyer 100 watch charger. It's not gonna force 100 watts into the device. It does not work like that. If you buy a charger that is the correct protocol which is these days, is usually power delivery. The device will negotiate The charge rate with the charger. If it does not negotiate or it is not the same protocol, it will not quick charge, so it will only charge at 5 or 10 watts. The reason why you should not use these very cheap bottom of the barrel charges. It's because they are made to a very low quality. And some of them haven't even passed safety standards and have fake markings on them like ce marks. Please charge us can be potentially dangerous and they could damage your device and potentially cause a fire. That is why you should not use these charges.

[@NoobableBeats]

I use a Motorola and the Android settings UI is different from Samsung One UI Settings. Please make a new version demonstrating it on Pixel/Android UI instead of Samsung One UI because names, locations, and management can vary greatly.

[@tbkswagg]

Yeah they will surely make a completely new video when most of those settings are in a relatively similar place if they exist in that form. By taking an adittional minute or se you can find most of it on other UIs. Surely harder though than making a new video for them for each Android rendition for every company

[@RichiRich11]

[@TiesiogYoutubenaudotojas1]

In my case adaptive battery on feature draun more battery that off, same as power saving mode. So these features are useless.

so I didn't got it for #7 - is it better to keep adaptive light turned on, or no??

[@RajR2000]

It is better to keep it on as it adjusts the screen brightness according to your surrounding. Because most people increases the brightness and than later on forgets to decrease the brightness.

[@miciso666]

Off is better. Adjust it urself.
