Your Samsung smartphone can play videos, music and games, and many of them also include lightning-fast web browsing and a robust app library . However, if you use these features for more than a few hours, your Samsung smartphone battery may not last more than a day. You can extend the life of your phone by charging it properly and adjusting some power-draining settings.
Charge regularly
To get the most out of your Samsung smartphone’s battery , you need to charge it properly.
Most smartphones come with lithium-ion batteries, which can be recharged regularly to extend their life. Unlike the nickel batteries used in older phones, lithium-ion batteries work best when their charge remains above 50%. Repeatedly allowing a battery to become completely drained may shorten its life and reduce its overall capacity.
If this happens, you will need to charge the battery more frequently, for example, the battery may only last a few hours before needing to be recharged.
Connect your phone to the charger while in use (when the phone is fully charged), doing so repeatedly may shorten battery life.
Brightness, vibration and power saving modes
Your phone will drain your phone battery no matter what you do, but you can reduce the burden by adjusting your device’s settings. Most cell Phone batteriebatteryhave an auto-brightness setting that automatically adjusts the brightness of the display based on ambient light. If you Usually set your monitor to full brightness, enable the automatic option to save a lot of battery life.
Vibration also consumes extra battery power, so disable it if you don’t need it.
Your phone may allow you to disable vibration for certain items, such as notifications, but keep it vibrating when answering calls and sending messages.
Some phones have a power saver mode that allows you to disable data connections or slow down processor usage when the screen is off. Battery saver mode may also turn off Bluetooth, vibration, GPS, and sync when you lock the screen. Available options vary by phone model.
If your phone has this mode, enable it and you may see a significant improvement in battery life.
Location services, running apps, and notifications
If you have Maps or GPS location services enabled on your phone, your device will continuously scan to determine your location on the map. Some third-party location-based apps can also do this.
If you turn on location services, your cell Phone battery will drain quickly. To save Samsung battery life, disable these services and turn them on only when necessary.
Some apps run in the background until you explicitly close them. You may not even know they are running. Most phones have a usage menu where you can view running apps, close them, and even determine how much space they take up on your phone. Check this menu regularly and close applications you are not using.
Many smartphones have notification systems that can alert you to everything from new text messages to social network updates. If you turn on automatic syncing of apps, email, and other online accounts, the constant updates can drain your battery quickly.
Disable notifications for apps and other unnecessary services to save battery.
If you have a Wi-Fi enabled phone, many public places (including restaurants, airports, and hotels) offer free Internet service. Wi-Fi comes in handy when you want to browse the web on the go, but it also consumes a lot of battery. Only turn on Wi-Fi when you need to surf the Internet, and then turn it off immediately.
If you’ve connected your wireless headphones to your phone via Bluetooth, you may have noticed how quickly your Samsung phone’s battery drains. Bluetooth allows your phone to communicate with other devices, but the connection requires additional power. Don’t leave Bluetooth on all the time, and remember to disable it when you’re done using it. So as not to drain the battery of your Samsung phone.
