Here are some Smartphone Battery Tricks for first time users of and a recent convert to smartphones. Naturally they don't have such a long battery life when in use due to obviously so many applications or programs one can do with it, in short: the more you do, the shorter your phone's battery lasts.
1. Dim It - The brighter your screen, the more juice you're using. If you're in a dimly lit room, turn down your LCD screen's brightness. If your device has an autodimming feature that detects the light in a room, use it. Similarly, if you use your smartphone or laptop to play music, lower the volume.
2. Turn off applications - It is great that you can use Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone to a headset, or use Wi–Fi to speed up the downloading of e–mail messages. But when you're not using that headset or not near a Wi–Fi hot spot, turn off those features on the phone or laptop.
3. Signal Search - Smartphones also continually looks for network signals. If you're in a weak signal area, your phone must work even harder to find one, decreasing battery life. If your G.S.M. 3G network is not available or the signal is weak, the battery will drain faster looking for one.
4. Check Mail Manually - Simply put, auto-notifications (of some phone apps) drains power. You don't need to check your email every minute now do you?
Turn Off Everything
5. Disable the Animations/fancy effects (graphics or sounds included) - The hotter your laptop feels, the more battery power it is using. And one of the biggest users of power is Flash animation, the technology behind many online videos and animated ads. To improve battery life, disable Flash when not using wall power.
6. Get an App to Aid You - There are a number of applications that can help monitor battery life and shut off various functions that cut down on a mobile device's effective power.
7. Realize the End Will Come - Lithium–ion batteries cannot be overcharged; a device's circuitry cuts off the power when they are full. However, manufacturers still recommend that a laptop not be continually connected to power once the battery is at its capacity. If a laptop won't be used for several months, it should be stored with the battery in a 50 percent charge state.
No matter how well you care for your battery, there comes a time when you'll need to send your battery to its final resting place though.
I hope these Smartphone Battery Tricks can help you enhance your smartphone experience.
