The battery of your phone is one of the most
important parts of the gadget. If you do not take care of it, there are chances
that it will fail and require replacement. One of the ways you can make sure
the battery is well maintained is by maintaining it. There are some tips that
you can follow to make sure you ensure your phone has a better battery life.
Some of the best tips include:
Charging
frequency
The frequency you charge your phone will determine
how the battery life will work. For example, if you charge it on a regular
basis, you may end up damaging the battery. The best way to charge your phone
would be when it is at least 15% or less. Allowing the battery to get drained
almost completely will prolong its life. If it is possible, you should try and
charge it only during the evening. Additionally, you should unplug it from the
charger once it is full. Most people leave their chargers connected overnight.
This means the system will still be receiving power even after the battery is
full. Doing this multiple times will have a negative effect on the battery. It
is therefore wise to unplug the charge from the mains power outlet once your
phone is fully charged.
Brightness
How bright or dull your screen is will affect the
life of your battery. If you prefer using bright settings, make sure you change
this when you go to dimly lit areas. For example, if you are indoors and your
setting is bright, you can decide to dim it a little. Bright settings should
only be used when you are outdoors. Since most of the time we spend indoors,
the setting should be adjusted accordingly.
Update your
apps
Apps need to be updated to keep them running at
optimum. Updates will help your apps run more efficiently. As a result, they
will end up using less battery power than before. When you see an update
notification for an app requesting to install an update, make sure you do this.
At the same time, you should get rid of apps that you are not using by
uninstalling, deleting or stopping them from running. When you use an android
phone, it is common to have multiple apps running even when you are not using
the, for example, you may have used the calculator and minimized it instead of
closing it. You may also have accessed your calendar or diary and forgot to
close it. The more apps you have running the higher the chances of using your
battery excessively. If you need to root Galaxy S8
for this to work, make sure you do it the right way.
Power saving
Use power saving mode should you have it. The good
thing about such a mode is that it will limit the battery use to important
applications on your phone. This will include making and receiving phone calls
and text messages. If you want to access additional apps, you will be required
to get out of power saving mode. The same may be the case if you need to go
online or use Bluetooth and other radio or media applications on your phone.
