To be complete on phone usage, you should know some quick battery saving tips for your phone. Battery saving apps don’t really save your battery. They just try stopping background activity by other apps. A battery saver that will try to save you is one that requires administrator permission to be granted during installation.
Other battery saving apps just read your battery state and try to kill background apps that have lower priority in the memory pool. One reason they don’t save you is the fact that they can’t prevent data transfer by background authority apps like play store and other system apps.
I have lived through unstable solar power systems in Eastern Uganda and I have learnt what it means to be generous to some stupid application transactions on your phone. You might be in an all-powered place, but because you are here, I know that you have some hatred towards waiting for your phone to charge.
How to save your battery power
Manual input for battery saving
This is the easiest and cheapest. You don’t need to download any application. You just have to turn your Android phone into a development environment by activating developer options.
How to activate developer options
1. Navigate to settings.
2. Click about phone.
3. Scroll down to where the build number is.
4. Tap the build number five times and you’ll be on.
Once you are done, get back to system and click advanced. The developer options will be at the end. Open them.
Scroll down to apps, check the don’t keep activities part. Activities control your user interface. When you check that part, all activities you leave will be killed at that same moment saving your battery from useless background activities.
Below that, you can specify the number of processes that can run in the background. This means that all other processes will be killed.
Under monitoring, enable the strict mode. This will make sure that your phone reminds you when an app performs very long functions on the main thread. The main thread is the one that runs the interface you see on the screen. Having your phone remind you can be useless, but it tells you which apps grab most of your power by using the main thread for heavy duty tasks.
The next step is about the screen and how it uses you battery life. You can read about lcd screens in my article. When most of your screen is dark, it saves so much power because all the black pixels are off. To save your battery this way, you can activate invert colors from the scroll down menu.
You can also use the dark mode of most apps you use or activate night mode in developer options. This can be bad for your eyes.
The other manual step is activating your battery saving mode. This is a better option than the night mode stuff because it considers your eyes. You can then reduce priority apps in the battery setting. This will lower the apps allowed to run in the background as you do other things.
Aided input for battery saving
The best aid comes when you need to control how your phone accesses the universal port 80 or the web. Such actions are power consuming because they require your device to transmit signals to the network antenna boosters. To save this, there are several apps on play store and other apk websites.
These apps are hidden as data saving apps. They save data by blocking all apps, including system apps, from accessing the internet. They can also be a perfect tool to detect malware in your phone. Some stealthy apps can send data in the background compromising your privacy. That means that you will be safe from such apps.
Those are the main battery saving issues and their solutions. If you have a different or similar, but improved technique, let me know in the comments. Days have been hot for mobile users and the slow development in battery power is a big drawback. Thanks for reading. I appreciate your time.
