6 Practical Ways To Extend Your Android Phones Battery Life

Let us forget apps like battery doctor, battery saver and the likes. There are some certain practical  measures you can take to extend your android devices battery life. Their impact on battery life may seem minimal, but when combined, they can become insignificant. We always overlook most of these measures.

But I promise you that, when you take all these things into consideration, your android battery life is surely going to be extended.

Here is How

#1. Always dim your brightness and use a dark launcher/theme if available

We don't always need a sharp brightness that even can cause injury to our eyes. In this way,  we of two ways cause harm to ourselves. One is the damage we cause to our battery because the phone will need more power to lit up the sharp brightness.

The second way we cause harm to ourselves is that, research let us understand that some rays of light are emitted from screens of visual electronics like phones and televisions. These rays are, one way or the other harmful to our eyes. So why sharp brightness?

Always use a dark theme or launcher if you have it. Bright themes also consumes battery.

#2. Always swipe away unused apps running in the background

Though Android Devices provide the ability to run more than one app at the same time, but this feature is NOT for us to misuse it. Every apps you run without swiping away ( or exit) use a share of your phone's processor and battery life. Thereby, burning your battery life time.

To get rid of this, always swipe away apps running in the background anytime you're done with them. For some phones, simply press down the home key button and swipe away. For other android devices, press the multi-tasking button at the left of the three icons at the bottom of the screen to swipe away.

#3. Always allow your device to cool whenever it is cool

Before I personally discover that phone batteries quickly drains up whenever it is hot, I fell into this trap most of the time. Most of us like to continue using the phone even if it becomes hot because we are fully engrossed with what we are doing on the phone. This is a bad idea as it sucks the battery quickly.

Whenever you discover that your device is hot and you feel like continuing what you are doing, simply remove the back cover so that the battery can be exposed to fresh air. That is one of the reasons why I don't like to use removable casings for my devices whenever I want to operate them.

#4. Always clear your RAM if available

When the usage of your RAM goes up, your battery drains faster. Some android devices leaves the option to clear your RAM anytime you want, while some don't. If your phone has the feature, always clear this RAM to preserve your batter life.

#5. Always turn off unnecessary widgets when not in use

Bluethooth, wi-fi, GPS, hotspot, data connection and the likes are big battery sucker you must avoid. No matter how much you love to connect your phone with wireless Bluetooth devices like headset, you should always turn it off when not in use.

It is very advisable to turn this widgets on only when you need them.

#6. Never allow your phone to vibrate unnecessarily

When you're always sure that the volume of your ringtone is enough to alert you when you get a call or notification, it is advisable to turn your vibrate feature off. 

This is because vibration motor rotates a certain weight that is enough to make your whole phone shake. And this process makes it to consume more power.

#7. Never let your LED blink unnecessarily

Whether for fancy or something I cannot really explain, some people like to leave their phone LED to blink all day. It drains your battery. Consider turning the LED off in your settings.

There are still more practical ways to extend your android devices battery life, but I think these are the things that mostly occur. Do not hesitate to share some other ways in the comment section.
