Battery dropping is one of the most common issue you will find on the Internet. Every phone has this issue excluding some devices with good amount of battery for example the devices which have 3000 mAh+ battery capacity. Still having 3000 mAh battery won't be enough now-a-days. We all know, we check our phones at least more than 20 times a day and some people like me who get Google Plus notifications, Facebook notifications and other messages needs to check the phone 50+ times a day and seriously I need to charge it 2 time a day which I don’t like to do so. Anyway, when I realised this problem, I have started using different tricks to save the battery and I now get approximately, 1 full day and sometimes more battery backup on my phone, Asus Zenfone 5. On many Facebook groups and forums too, many people asked the same question and to answer them, I am writing this article which would help them to save their battery and RAM both.
#1 Use Greenify
This is one of the best methods to save battery from your device because this app kills all the applications running in the background automatically after some time or when the device begins to slow down. This usually requires a rooted phone for better outcomes and when you have Xposed Framework on your phone, it does the work of icing on the cake because after that, the applications gives you more options to conserve the battery and RAM.
Greenify will automatically Hibernate your applications automatically if you enable it in accessibility on the phone. It works same as ‘Freezing’ and ‘defreezing’ or applications. Some popular applications like Titanium Backup and Link2SD offers you such features in which the applications appear to be uninstalled, but as soon as you defrost them, you get application along with it’s data back. Instead of freezing them, you can also make them disable by using the "Disable" option.
Get it here from Google Play Store.
#2 Don’t Use Auto Brightness
Though auto brightness is an amazing feature of Android phones and other devices which uses ambient sensors, but still it consumes much amount of battery, because the sensors are 24×7 online to detect the light in your external environment and same way it changes the brightness of the phone too. This leads to much of battery loss, so it’s recommended not to enable this option until needed.
#3 Disable Pictures Syncing
Usually Google uploads new pictures on the phone to Google server just to backup them incase of fatal errors. To disable photos syncing, just open Photo application and press menu key. Their select, Settings and move to Auto Backup menu. Click on ON button to make it off or simply switch this off.
#4 Disable HotWord Detection
Your phone repeatedly tries to listenOK Google command and this wastes much amount of battery because just like Auto brightness, it’s too 24×7 online for it’s work. You can simply open Google application and search whatever you want to, so you may disable this option if you need. To disable Hotword detection, just open Google Now and press menu key. Select Voice option from the main menu and then uncheck Hotword detection which will completely disable this feature.
#5Turn off Wi-Fi Scanning
You may not know, but even after you switch off your WiFi, the phone still searches WiFi for Google location and some other Google applications. If the detects a WiFi connection which you have used before on the device, it connects to the network even if your device’s screen is OFF. So it’s recommended to disable this function. To do this, open Settings>WLAN>Advanced WLAN (Press Menu key and select Advanced). Now justt untick ---> Scanning always available.
#6 Turn Off Data Connection
If you disable this option, you can definitely get a much better battery backup than before because this literally eats too much of battery and also applications uses internet which leads to much data syncing. Simply, drag down your notification bar and open toggles menu. Now open Data Connections and make it off. Also turn off the bluetooth and auto sync feature when not needed.
#7 Configure the hotspot for inactivity
If you are such a kind person to share your internet with your friend via WiFi-HotSpot, then this tip is only for you fella ! Simply there are many situations in which you don't know whether your friend is using your WiFi-HotSpot or not. So it drains a lot of battery. So here's a way to minimize that chances.
So, all you've to do is while setting up your WiFi-HotSpot, just below "Disable Wi-Fi hotspot when inactivity", select 8 minutes or whatever period of time that is showing up in your phone (because it varies from phone to phone). This will disable your hotspot when it is inactive, and surely conttribute towards saving your phone's battery.
#8 Don't keep activities
For this option, you need to enable developer options first. To enable it, open Settings>About Phone and tap 7times on Build number. Press back and open Developer Options and select Select runtime. Then tick on "Don't keep activities". Just keep a thing in the mind that every activity is destroyed (i.e. closed or terminated) as soon as you leave it (i.e. when you press Home button or Back button).
So these were the tricks that I used to save my phone's battery.(Don't see the battery percentage in the screenshots, LOL :D) I hope you guys will found this helpful. If any questions or doubts then feel free to ask them in the comments section. ;)
