The Top 5 Ways to Extend the Battery Life of Your Android Smartphone



Unlike iOS devices, most Android handsets use replaceable batteries. Many top-selling phones such as the Samsung Galaxy range have removable back covers enabling users to keep going when they can't find a charger. However, there are still ways to increase battery life without carrying around spare batteries. Here are the top five ways to extend the battery life of your Android smartphone.

#1. Buy a Battery Case

Battery cases such as Mophie Juice Packs are phone cases containing built-in batteries. Simply slot your phone into the case and you are ready to enjoy hours of extra charge. Battery cases will add extra weight and bulk to your phone but they also offer protection and do away with the need to replace batteries on the move. Cases work with your existing charger and you do not need to remove the case to charge the phone.

#2. Install a Battery Saving App

Perhaps the most widely used app for increasing the battery life of Android smartphones is AMC Security by IObit Mobile Security. Available free from Google Play, this app will scan and clean any Android device and free up available RAM, thus helping to improve battery life. Although the main purpose of this app is to protect phones from viruses, malware, spyware, malicious URLs and phishing sites, it has one of the best battery saving features available. On high battery saving mode, the app will shut down Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth and lower the screen brightness to improve the battery life. This is ideal if you don't have Ultra Power Saving mode of the Galaxy S5 or the Ultra Power Saving mode of the HTC One (M8).

#3. Trim Bloatware

Bloatware commonly refers to apps that come bundled with Android handsets when you purchase them. For instance, you might never use the S Voice app but this app cannot be deleted and will use up battery life. To remove this type of app, you will need to root your device. Bloatware can also refer to unnecessary features such as live wallpaper and home screen widgets that poll status updates in the background can suck up a huge amount of power. Customization is what makes Android fantastic but you should remove things you do not use or need.

#4. Update Regularly

New versions of apps often use less power than their predecessors. Always configure your handset to automatic updates and periodically check Google Play for apps that require manual updates.

#5. Buy Better Batteries

Whether your phone has a power-saving mode or you use an app to maximize battery life, you will eventually come up against the same problem: you actually need certain features and functionality. For instance, it isn't comfortable for your eyes if you screen is dimmed too low and it isn't practical to have your phone in Airplane mode the whole time. One solution is to buy an upgraded battery from a third party manufacturer. Replacement batteries often give your phone a longer lifespan than the original batteries.


Conclusion

These five tips should help you get the most out of your Android device whatever your requirements. Most people use a combination of methods to optimize their devices according to their needs.
