Tricks to Extend the Battery Life in Your Smartphone
Smartphones are wonderful tools. But there's one weakness that virtually every smartphone shares: short battery life. This is a frustrating problem. As you're logging onto the Web, reviewing your e-mail messages, and making phone calls, you're draining your phone's battery. With many of the top smartphones on the market, you're fortunate to make it home after the workday with enough battery life left to fit in one quick call for take-out food.
The problem boils down to this: Smartphones do too much. And by doing so, they consume more than their fair share of power. There are steps, though, that you can take to enhance the life of your smartphone's battery. By shutting off some of your phone's extra features, you might be able to squeeze enough juice out of your battery to keep your smartphone humming the entire day.
Dimming that smartphone screen
You might not realize this, but keeping your screen at its full brightness setting drains the battery very quickly. An easy way to stop this rapid drain is to lower the screen brightness to a level that is still comfortable for you. Your screen need not be as bright as the sun.
Screen lighting
You can save battery power, too, by adjusting how long your screen stays lit after receiving an input like a screen tap. The longer your screen stays lit, the harder it is on your battery life.
Bluetooth
A Bluetooth device is an enormous drain on your battery as well. As it is continuously looking for outside signals, it is constantly draining your battery. So when you are in meetings or not anticipating calls, shutting it off can make your smartphone’s battery work for a lot longer.
