Top 7 Android devices battery life tips and tricks

Currently battery life still tops the complaint charts for smartphone owners tired of the daily charging routine, no one really wants to be told that the most obvious route to increased battery life is to use your phone less or worse: turn off some of the features that enticed you to buy it in the first place. So today AussieBatt cell phone battery experts pulled together a list of relatively painless tips to boost your Android devices battery life and go the extra mile.

1. Automate your phone

You don’t need your smartphone syncing away through the night, so why not introduce a bedtime routine that automatically silences it and kills your data and Wi-Fi connections? With apps like AutomateIt and Tasker you can also automatically turn things on and off based on triggers and rules you define.

2. Streamline your home screen

The busier your home screen, the more battery life it’s going to suck. Get rid of widgets that you don’t need, and consider reducing refresh rates. Animation costs power, so ditch the live wallpapers.

If you have a phone with an AMOLED display, then use a dark background for the home screen and a dark theme in general. The technology achieves deep blacks by not lighting up those pixels and so dark backgrounds can save you some power.
3. Use smartphone battery power saving mode

Most Android device manufacturers have added some form of power-saving mode. You can automatically hobble your phone’s features or shut down specific apps when your battery dwindles below a predetermined level.

4. Tweak display settings

Your screen brightness is going to have a big impact on your Nokia BL-4C Battery. Don’t rely on auto-brightness because it will generally be set higher than you really need. Reduce brightness manually and keep it as low as is comfortable. You can always pull down the notification shade and tweak it quickly via the quick settings when you have to.

You should also reduce the screen time out in display settings under sleep. The faster your Android device fades to black when not in use, the more power you’ll save.

5. Get a spare smartphone battery, portable charger or case

It’s an obvious suggestion, but a spare battery, a portable charger or an extended battery case are sure-fire methods of extending your Nokia 6700 Classic Mobile Phone Battery life.

Most are quite discreet now as well, meaning it’s not a hulking great brick you need to carry around, but one that could possibly fit in your wallet. Of course, if you go for a bigger model they often offer quick charging capabilities or oodles of power so will offer more than a couple of charges.

6. Turn off notifications

Do you need to know every time someone likes a post or comments on something you’ve engaged with on Facebook? Do you want to hear about the latest special offer or new app in your notification shade?

When you install any app, it automatically gains the right to fire notifications at you, but you can stop it in Settings > Apps by tapping on the app and clearing the ‘Show notifications’ box.

7. Reduce or stop auto-syncing

Do you need to check for emails every five minutes? Reduce the frequency of your syncing and use push settings for email wherever possible. For non-essential apps and services you could just stop background syncing altogether and tell them to only refresh when you actually start the app up. This is usually done through the settings in the app itself.
