What should I do if the battery is sitting down?

Very often, users of smartphones and tablets based on Android very quickly sit down battery. The battery charge may not be sufficient even for the day of operation of the device. In this article, we'll look at the main reasons why the battery is sitting down and how to solve this problem.

In smartphones, unlike conventional mobile phones and tablets, power consumption is due to the presence of large screens, as well as high frequency of the processor. In such devices, the battery accumulates very much when using GPS navigation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-connection, Internet programs (browsers, Skype, ICQ). Also significantly affect the discharge of the battery video, the use of flash on the camera, games, watching movies and listening to music. An important factor that affects the fact that the battery accumulates in smartphones is the low signal level of the network. In this case, the device starts an intensive search, as a result of which the number of requests increases several times. Because of these factors, the battery receives a significant load. It is enough to work the device in this mode for several hours and the device will need recharging.

All the reasons that we have considered belong to the obvious energy eaters, however, in Android-based devices there are secondary, but not less voracious, consumers. These include: visual effects and various services (news, weather, Google maps , stocks), which are regularly synchronized with the Internet server.

Now consider the main recommendations that will help you extend the life of the device without recharging. The tips listed are not necessarily complete, each user can choose only the part he thinks fit. However, the more disabled functions and widgets, the less the battery sits.

So, let's start:

1. Do not need to turn on without the need for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, 3G. Use these functions only when necessary and do not forget to disconnect them after the end of the communication session.
2. Do not install on your device live wallpaper and a lot of different widgets. Such animation constantly requires updating, which significantly affects the power consumption.
3. Disable location detection over wireless networks.
4. Do not use Task Killers - an application to close background programs. Many users believe that forcibly closing unnecessary applications that run in the background will reduce the power consumption of the device. Using the forced shutdown function causes the applications to reboot, which saves the battery more than their background work. It is better to use a function that is in any android - closing applications that have performed their work or those that have not been accessed for a long time.
5. Disable the vibration feedback, vibrate and highlight the sensor buttons. Simultaneous use of vibration and audio signals quickly discharges the battery.
6. Remove irrelevant applications and old programs.
7. Set the maximum synchronization time for widgets and applications that you decide to leave.
8. Disable automatic software update.
9. In Google Maps, uncheck the box next to "Location Reporting" and "Location History." Turn off Google Now.
10. Reduce the brightness of the screen and the time interval for turning off the monitor.

Such a list can be continued indefinitely. The purpose of this article is to give users of fashionable devices a general idea, and then everyone individually can decide which functions can be left and which ones can be turned off. The main thing is to understand why the battery is sitting down, and the methods of combating this phenomenon can be different.
