Android comes with a wealth of settings that allow you to customize and improve the smartphone experience. Although by default, Android chooses the best settings it thinks, it’s a good idea to make the most of your device to modify your Android preferences and settings based on your own use. Below we will introduce settings that can help you extend battery life, clean up clutter on the home screen, find stolen or lost devices, and more. (Note: Not all Android devices are the same. Depending on the version of Android you are running and the manufacturer of your phone, some settings may be lost or located in different locations) Let’s take a look!
Settings to improve battery life
Using a phone with a short battery life can be annoying, but there are some steps you can take to maximize the effectiveness of each charge from the start:
1. Turn off automatic screen brightness (adaptive brightness), and set the brightness level slider below 50%. The brighter the screen, the more battery power is required. To enter the settings, pull down the shortcut menu from the top of the screen and adjust the slider. Some phones may have automatic brightness switching in the shortcut panel; otherwise, you need to open the settings app and search for “brightness” to find the setting and turn it off.
2. Use adaptive battery and battery optimization. Google introduced these two features in Android 9.0 Pie: They focus on understanding how you use your phone, understanding which applications you use and when, and then optimizing the applications and the battery power they use.
Some Android phones have a dedicated battery section in the Settings app, while other phones hide these settings. Each phone is slightly different. I suggest to open your settings and search for battery. Your phone may also have adaptive charging settings, which can monitor the speed at which your phone’s battery is charged overnight to maintain its health.
Dark mode
Another way to extend battery life while helping to protect your eyes is to use Android’s dedicated dark mode. Any Android phone running Android 10 or higher will have a dedicated dark mode option. Depending on the version of Android your phone is running and the manufacturer of the phone, you may need to look for dark mode in the settings app. To turn it on, open the “Settings” app and search for “Dark Mode”, “Dark Theme”, or even “Night Mode”.
Keep the home screen tidy
Be prepared for the large number of icons on the home screen, this is where the shortcuts are every time you install something. Fortunately, there is an easy way to solve this problem: long press on a blank area of the home screen, and then click home page settings. Find the option marked along the “Add icon to home screen” line and turn it off.
Set do not disturb
If your phone is often on your bedside table overnight, you may not want it to beep or buzz every time there is a call, message, or Facebook reminder—especially when you want to fall asleep. Fortunately, Android provides a “Do Not Disturb” mode, which can keep the phone more or less silent for a specified period of time. On some phones, this is called downtime setting or even quiet time. Go to Settings>Sound, and look for Don’t Disturb or similar names. Using this function, you can set the time range you want to turn off the digital noise. But don’t worry, any notifications you receive when Do Not Disturb is turned on will still be waiting for you when you wake up. In addition, you can usually create an exception to allow calls from repeat callers and favorite contacts to pass through. If someone calls you in an emergency, they will most likely continue to try.
Be prepared to lose your phone
You can only find it if you turn on Google’s “Find My Device” feature. To prepare for a successful recovery, you need to do the following: Open the Settings app and search for “Find my device.” It is usually located in the “Security” section of the “Settings” application. Or, if you have a Samsung device, you can use Samsung’s “Find My Phone” service, which is located in “Settings”> “Biometrics and Security”> “Find My Phone”. Once enabled, you can go to android.com/find and log in to your account from any PC or mobile device. Samsung users can visit findmymobile.samsung.com to find the lost phone.
