Everyone who buys a mobile phone will find that the mobile phone has its own default settings, and the default settings are not the best. These settings include brightness, organization, light mode, and so on. But changing these 5 settings on your Android phone will help you extend battery life, clean up clutter on the home screen, find stolen or lost devices, and improve the performance of your Android smartphone. 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 every charge from the start:
1. Turn off automatic screen brightness/adaptive brightness and set the brightness level slider below 50%.
The brighter your screen, the more battery power it uses. Operation: To enter the settings, please 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.
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 will 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. The result should get you to the correct screen. 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 is your friend
Another way to extend battery life while helping to protect your eyes is to use Android’s dedicated dark mode. According to Google, dark mode not only reduces the strain on our eyes caused by the smartphone display, but also extends battery life. Depending on the version of Android your phone is running and the manufacturer of your 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. There is a simple way to solve this problem: Long press on a blank area of the home screen and click Settings. Find the option labeled Add icon to home screen or Add new app to home screen and close it.
When installing a new application, there is no longer an icon on the home screen. You can still add shortcuts by dragging the app’s icon out of the app drawer.
Set do not disturb
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.
Action: Go to “Settings”> “Sounds” (or “Notifications”) and look for “Do Not Disturb” or something similar. If you can’t find it, please use the built-in search function in the settings to search.
Using this function, you can set the time range you want to turn off the digital noise. But rest assured, 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. Open it. If someone calls you in an emergency, they will most likely continue to try.
If you lose your phone, be prepared
Is there anything worse than a lost or stolen phone? Only know that if you turn on Google’s “Find My Device” feature, you can find it.
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” app. 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.
Assuming your phone is turned on and online, you should be able to see its location on the map. From there you can make it ring, lock it, set up a lock screen note to tell anyone who has it how to return it to you, or, in the worst case, remotely wipe the whole thing.
