Battery drain can be frustrating, and if it happens at just the ‘right’ time it could really leave you stranded. If you are often running into issues with battery life on your mobile phone, there are ways to better manage your battery’s life. A Mashable post from September 2013 offered up these great tips for conserving your battery…
Keep Location Services off until you need it. Maps are a no brainer, but there are tons of apps that use your phone’s GPS to determine where you are in the world. Services like Yelp and Google Now are also going to pinpoint your location on the map, so it’s best to just keep this feature turned off until you need to figure out where you’re headed next.
Avoid apps with lots of advertisements. Games are the biggest culprit here. Those ads are constantly refreshing, sucking up your precious battery life while doing so.
Keep your 3G or 4G and Wi-Fi off when not in use. You don’t need to completely stop using your phone’s Internet connection, but if you want that battery to last all day, turn off the cell connection and Wi-Fi when you’re definitely not going to be using it, like when you’re at your desk and using your computer anyways. It’ll also eliminate those pesky phone notification every time you get a new email.
We mentioned some of the ‘losers’ when it comes to apps that are draining your battery, but what about the winners? The following apps are noted as the best mobile apps for improving battery life on your Android phone or tablet.
