Increase Android battery life (Tips & Tricks)

[@andyjame5176]

*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

[@JohnBatty]

My best tip; Trade in your SGS2 for an Xperia Z. I've gone from barely making in through the day to 50% left at the end of the day with same usage.

[@kevineusebio]

meanwhile with the Galaxy Note II...

[@JohnBodoni]

An external battery is the way to go.

[@GeoWalter]

***** may be on the older OS versions (froyo, gingerbread?) and on the manufacturer mods the gps is always on? - I know there was a problem with gps enabled on the original rom on my #htcdesire ... not any more on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 CM 10.1

[@ThePorpoisepower]

I switched to google voice @ home, not only did I save a ton on my cell bill, since I've got awful service(almost none) at my apartment, it works far better and extends my battery life significantly.

[@varunemani]

..and that calls for a BIIIGG THANKS ALOT to you Android Authority! Liked & subscribed.

[@Smitarane-do8wl]

Thanks dude really helped me a lot. Today at 5 pm my tablet battery was 0 percent and after half hour it was 100 percent. Thanks again

[@TheBamaChad-W4CHD]

Watching this in 2018 and I keep focusing on the Galaxy S3. What a beautiful great phone. It's also a good bit of information for phones today.

[@trevir200]

You guys should make a update version of this video

[@stephensnell1379]

You mean updated

[@ForReeelz]

I literally knew all of these things plus more. But for a new android user this is the most helpful video i have ever seen regarding "Battery Saving Tips" very professional as well. Keep up the good work Android Authority. THUMBS UP!

[@SolderingSyringe]

Fantastic video, Mark. A video that spells relevant information out while looking professional and fluent. Newbies to android everywhere will thank you. Glad you've been added to the androidauthority ranks.

[@chadmaskoske6051]

Making use of the kzbin.infoUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type

[@Miklalo]

Thanks for telling me about the restrictions on background data i never knew that i could do this i have learned something new thanks a lot

[@southofpacoima]

[@stephensnell1379]

Blimey draining your phone battery to 7%,draining your phone to 30 or 40% is much better

[@staceymatthews833]

Good One ! Thanks for shared this tips !!!

[@m00gleboi]

One of the best ways I found to conserve battery was basically to use Xposed modules after rooting. Absolute headache to configure but once you've clamped down on everything 'phoning home' when the screen is off and taken away permissions for things to 'autostart' in the background, battery life goes through the roof. 0% battery drain when the screen is off, anywhere up to double screen-on time. Pain in the butt to configure but you can have an app-heavy phone without the battery commitments. The trade-off is less potentially interesting notifications. I wiped my phone recently and I miss being free of "why haven't you played X game today?".

[@Tomdomification]

Thanks for the tips!

[@SudeeptoDutta]

Very nice video Mark... :) Its true that we shouldn't drain our battery to null before charging it ... This is a common misconception that doing so we can extend our battery life which is sheer BS ... BTW ... thanx for the helpful video

[@ohwhatworld5851]

What a fantastic and thorough video. Thank you. Subbed. I have a question, what are your thoughts on all of those battery saving apps? Are they a waste of time or do they actually help?

[@DarthAwar]

+Chris Churchill Here are some tried, tested and true methods! Here are a few helpful tricks to save power and or recharge your phone quicker! * Uninstaling Facebook will save you between 15 to 25 percent on your daily battery life. Use your browser for Facebook instead! * Charge your phone and tablets when turned off they can charge up to 60% faster as the battery is not powering most of the device! * Turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC & Mobile Data as when not in use this can save you a lot depending on your apps! * Also turn off your Auto Screen Rotation this can save you 2 to 8 percent a day in theory! * If you have Multiple Batteries and a Battery Charger, Swap them out when they get too about 25% power remaining! * This way you can use your phone for much longer and if you put the low battery onto charge right away it will be full almost by the time the full battery gets down low! *Turn off auto updates as many new updates have bugs that end up using more power, only update apps and OS after reviewing what others have to say about the new updates after about a month! * Use a regular (Low Power!) USB Charger Port, A Fast or Rapid Charging Port will kill your battery much faster (upto to 60% faster!) than a standard trickle/standard charger! * This does not matter so much (except for the environment!) as long as you can replace the batteries easily! * Plug your phone charger into a surge protector that can also smooth out the current this can add upto 20 to 35% on your battery's life span (Use the same type of device for computers and tablets as well!), This does not affect your phone's battery until the 2 to 3 year mark depending on the quality of the battery! * This also has the benefit of saving your phone during power surges which can kill low powered electronic devices like phones and tablets! * Use Bluetooth devices to listen to your phone it cuts down on power consumption even more then wired headphone/earbuds as they use their own power supply to power the speakers rather than rely on the phone's battery to do that with wired headphones/earplugs! * Also Bluetooth uses far less power to send the signal to your wireless headphones/earbuds then sending it via cable even without having to power the headphones/earbuds because of electronic resistance all metals have even gold and copper air does not generally have this problem! * Also if you can turn off the screens colour so it's in grayscale mode, That can save your screens power consumption by about 40 percent! * Force stop all apps that you absolutely do not need to use to stop background power and data consumption! * Unless you have bad eyesight you only need your phone's brightness level to be on between about 25 to 50 percent most of the time! * If you can swap out batteries but have no spars get a brand new one and replace your phone's battery every 12 to 24 months this does not apply if you have multiple batteries and swap them out on a regular bases! *Never let your batteries get to Zero Percent instead take the battery out of your phone after it has been charged to 100% or Charge your Battery in a Battery Charging Station then reinsert the battery into your phone and restart your phone to calibrate your phone and battery properly!

Nice Captain Planet reference. ;)

[@dianahargraves7417]

Thank you, I realy enjoyed this video. It was very helpful and user friendly

[@AlimHaque]

I thought that the black pixels were off but the difference between a fully black screen and an locked screen is that the locked screen can go into deep sleeping (saving battery life).

[@futuretechnology7735]

It made a big difference to phones battery life!

[@dmironyuk]

Airplane mode & Screen Brightness are the keys!

[@ADAMSPLAYTIME]

great explanation

[@Proveenza]

it worked great, i charge it 100% in the morning and now at night 90% Amazing thank you :)

[@PavelPavlov1]

Also worth noting: Greenify for those poorly coded apps that you still want to keep but don't want running on the background.

THANK YOU! my battery is so suckish before this while on the charger it died :( but I watched this on the charger which would suck up battery but in 5 min the battery percentage went up by 3!!!!!!! I THOUGHT IT WASNT POSSIBLE!! :3 YAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!

[@TechShowcase]

Super good video

[@longlife786786]

Technology change every day and it's amazing for the kids who download

[@vadimstolemyvodka4963]

I have a question. I tried a lot of things to increase my s2 battery life, even rooted the phone. Is it the battery itself spoiled or am i really using too many apps. Because at first it says 4hrs left, then suddenly drops to 2hrs and so on until it very quickly drains all the battery. Any solutions ?

[@ChanceJia]

It's really helpful! nice wallpapers, could you share them for us, thank you much~

[@VIVEKKUMAR-uk5fj]

Nice and informative video. Its really nice way to save battery life. Now we all are using so many apps which runs at the back end and taking power. I got a message in Photo4tune that forcing stoping all Apps which you are not using can help to save power. So try this out.

[@MorrisMagic]

As far as I've read, there is only power draw from nfc when in use. Same with gps

[@Lectrofy]

great info!

[@iamcutiepie24]

Let's just go back to the good old days where everyone uses a Nokia 3310.

[@stephensnell1379]

That device doesn't exist anymore

[@davidash6825]

Hi I was hoping to get in contact with the person that is talking in the video, I believe his name is Mark. I believe he has a korean model s3 and I wanted to ask him some questions about custom ROMs

[@FasterThan_4G]

Can't wait for graphene batteries!

[@DanielRichards644]

a large part of rooting to use apps like setcpu and NoFrillzCPU is to switch governors to ones more efficient like hotplug for dual core cpus to "shut off" the second core, a better option then just dropping the core clock speed/

[@DanielRichards644]

Jason Stroman using No-frills to reduce cores in use is about choosing the right governor, many aftermarket ROMs include governors like Hotplug or HotplugX that disable the extra cores when not needed, it's not some magic setting in the program, also there are plenty of programs designed specifically to allow you to disable extra cores manually, as for which is more effecient it would depend on the phone. the benefit of the Hotplug governor is that it will enable the extra core when needed and disable when not, where using an app to disable the core keeps it off unless you go into that app and re-enable it, so hotplug gives you the power when you need it and not when you don't, personally I don't underclock so I can't compare it to that, I don't like hindering the performance of my devices.

[@DanielRichards644]

Jason Stroman Well I did specifically say Hotplug and HotplugX which are governors that are not stock on any device I've seen before.

[@Beerlover2007]

My tip: Dim screen brightness, Turn off Wi-fi, 3G, Bluetooth and GPS if you're not using it and kill apps, I can easily get about 3 days at most by doing this.

[@ibnu3485]

Yeah Thx Men

[@wilsonang6370]

how did u get the live wallpaper at 5:20?? pls reply thnx

[@forthelichkingsname]

Root, get kernels that supports underclocking the CPU, use setcpu to set the minimum frequency to the lowest possible. make profiles on setcpu that suit your needs. couple of years ago, i had a rooted, modded xperia S that lasts 3 days with wifi ON. if i remember correctly, it had 18-21 hrs on-screen time.. it just takes almost a week of trial and error but it really pays off...

[@lancelindlelee7256]

Will UCCW/Minimalistic Text widgets eat up battery and alow down a phone/tab? I am using them heavily for my W8 theme where each app is an individual widget. The same for my Cyber theme which uses Minimalistic text as folders.

[@divefraggle]

Very informative vid.

[@weisiang1996]

Good, it's helpful

[@gregpchandyman7825]

Battery tech isnt up to modern smart phones. Get a case that includes a lipol battery. I have a note 2 and cant even get 8 hours out of it with all the power savings stuff I can throw at it. So, when it gets low and I have to continue using it, I turn on the case which provides power on the go WITHOUT needing to switch the phone off. No lost anything!

[@kakashihatake6916]

If I have both my wifi and mobile 3g turned off and auto sync on, auto sync wont use my battery power right? cause auto sync needs the internet to update?

[@Surya-gf5em]

is there a video from u to root micromax phones????? i beg u pllll post one if possible im dying bro

[@ronrainie1234]

Great facts

[@Dish0089]

Now i can go catch pokemons longer!!

[@abattleborn]

tnx men

[@mcfcmaustin]

My Nexus 4 - Juice defender configured to turn mobile data and wifi off when the screen is off and turn it back on every 15 minutes for a quick notification check. That's it. Guess what? Taken off the charger at 8am, at 7pm I was on 55% with 1 hour 32 minutes screen on. Not bad eh?

[@ozera16]

Well I have a razr HD and everything is running in the background and I still get a full day with hours on KZbin and web :D

[@alancoles2431]

Very good

[@izuZ34]

So I have to disable the best features of android to stop it from draining battery fast? DERP all I did was get a dark wall paper and boom suddenly I get 4 hours of onscreen time

[@bautistadarellc.23]

I talked to someone before on care center, and he said that stopping running application on settings will save more battery,is that true? my phone is o+...

[@ImCritxz]

yes...it saves more battery

[@jordonbrumfield3654]

thx

[@carlodt290]

can you make a video for battery savers you reccomend???

[@AchwaqKhalid]

Well in short turn off all the feature that makes your smartphone an Android and get an Ericsson A1018s! seriously there is a lot of work to do in the battery department and i don't know why the manufacturers are still ignoring it.

[@chupacabra377]

About the ads: Disable mobile data and Wi-fi, and ads won't appear. Save battery and your nerves.

[@mastersirus1985]

I seroisly came from an iPhone 5 to the Nexus, btw what Live wallpapers are shown there?

[@htprince1052]

thank u....it did save my battery life .. i hav a doubt.....will my battery be saved if im hearing songs via headphones../??.....

[@stephensnell1379]

Yes your battery will last much longer

[@metalhammer5]

Hey people..does battery drain depend on the motherboard too?? If so, how??? Thanks

[@ar3t33]

when getting a new smartphone, is it best to fully charge the phone before turning it on? or turning it on, draining the battery before fully charging it, for a prolonger battery life?

[@stephensnell1379]

You can use it straight out of the box when brand new

[@eladbari]

is there an APP that limits Battery charge to 80%-90% for when I go to sleep and charge the phone? If there is- it should enhance battery life for 3-4 years instead of 1-2...

[@Wezlb8]

For games that do not require a connection to play, turn airplane mode on while playing the game. This will prevent the adds from draining your phone.

[@stephensnell1379]

Also it will stop the phone from getting too warm too

[@ambiguous321]

You don't actually have to turn of nfc as it won't eat up much battery life when the screen is off, and it is inactive when the screen is off

[@stephensnell1379]

Even so it will still use power which is very wasteful

[@jqricho]

What's the animated wallpaper app can anyone plz tell me

[@jqricho]

Wait nvm its called shake them all

[@VezWay007]

Zeke deserved the +1. Ask a question, gives the answer when he figures out himself. :D I wasn't really interested in the wallpaper, but this guy just deserved the +1 for being awesome.

[@2011GamerBoy]

Hey can someone tell me why i have to differnt times in the top right corner and on my lock screen its the right time but on the weather app its not someone help me out please?

[@jgp1]

My tip is keep a charger in your car and charge your phone frequently -_-, really tho if I need to turn off stuff then I want an smartphone, too much hassle, my Nexus 4 last me only cause I charged it, the note 2 is really good with battery life tho, the iPhone as well

[@marblebone98]

Hi there, can i know whether downloading Clear Master app will improve my phone's battery life?

[@stephensnell1379]

That type of app will do nothing to conserve battery life other than actually shortening it

[@tylerjames8133]

I really want to know what phone u are using in the video?

[@disklosr]

galaxy s3

[@aerossignol]

Using the latest version of android negates the need to turn MOST of these features off. I use 4.2.2 on a nexus 7 and nexus 4. I use both devices heavily for 8h a day. Both devices will go 2 full days before needing a charge. I own juice defender, but only have it installed on my HTC and Sammy phones with 4.0.3 android. I keep Bluetooth off, Wifi hotspot off those are most important. mobile data, Wifi, gps, location services, nfc only use battery when being accessed by an app.

[@crashsoul]

hi, im new 2 the android scene, and everytime i connect my phone to the wifi i get alot of games publicity alerts, how can i block this publicity? i have a very limited 3g data lmit and i dont want to spend it on this annoying alerts. I havw a xperia J

[@Leooo24]

that's normal, just turn them back on anytime

[@FrenchVries]

the Note 2 has AWESOME battery life. The S3 is bad though.

[@manjurtr180]

Disable wifi Disable data Disable gps Disable auto sync Disable live wallpapers Disable widgets disable everything the smartphones r meant to do and buy a basic phone(nokia 1100)

[@rage9one]

Is unplugging my device while not fully charged a bad thing? I need to know.

[@stephensnell1379]

A full charge each time is what I always do and it gets me past 24 hours of use and a full charge is better than not fully charging as your charge will run out quicker
