We’re living in the smartphone age.
Phones today are no longer a form of luxury. They have become a necessity. Almost, if not everything can be done with just that one device that fit right on our palms. It helps us keep up with the fast-paced environment we are in.
And since they do a lot more than just texting and calling, it is important that phones survive busy days. Their life span should last.
But it’s not everyday that you are able to bring a charger and find access to an outlet. So here are few ways how you can save your phone’s battery life.
Disable notifications.
How many apps do you have? Do you use them all?
Chances you have already grown tired of games you once were so hooked into, now, you no longer open them. But even though you no longer use these apps, they still consume much of your battery’s energy. Notifications come and go, and most of them you just ignore.
Your screen lights up and vibrates repeatedly in a day. If you’re getting confused between an incoming message and notification, then get rid of apps you no longer use. Then you will be able to conserve power.
Turn down location requests.
Do you really need to update everyone where you are? Are you sure that your posts are kept private and that no one with bad intent is stalking your accounts for your whereabouts?
Do yourself a favor, and turn off apps that ask your consent to detect and share your location.
Give yourself some room for privacy. Owning a smartphone already keeps you busy, at least leave some room so you can move freely off the radar.
Turn on location requests only when necessary.
Keep it cool.
Positioning your phone beside gadgets that are hot will also cause your phone’s temperature to increase, and consequently, perform poorly.
Keep your phone away from hot devices. Also, kill apps that are still running even when you are not using them.
Adjust screen brightness.
Are you a fan of screaming bright screens?
That you can already write an essay with your phone as the only source of light. That simply peeking on your screen can wake the person beside you. Or make people in a dark room stare at you as though you have committed a crime.
Adjust your phone’s brightness when you can clearly see through a dim screen. It will not only help you save power, it will also protect your eyes from glare.
Disable antennas.
Make sure that your bluetooth is turned off when not in use. Do the same as well with your wi-fi.
And during those moments when your battery is on the verge of passing, and you still need it alive, put it on airplane mode for the meantime so all radios are automatically turned off. Disable the airplane mode when you are to use the phone.
Lower the volume.
In a usually quiet place such as offices, loud ringtones can be disturbing.
Make it a habit to keep your volume low, especially when you are not expecting any urgent call or message. If you are keeping your phone within your reach then it’s least likely you will have problems hearing notifications.
