13 tips to save battery on your mobile phone

　　Let’s talk about some general power-saving tips for mobile phones:

　　1. Keep your phone cool

　　If the temperature of the mobile phone is too high, it will also affect the battery life. Do not expose the mobile phone to high temperatures frequently. For example, when you go to the beach, don't leave your phone exposed on the beach. This is definitely not good for your phone's battery life.

　　2. Turn off screen brightness

　　The most battery-consuming part of a mobile phone is the screen. Turning the screen brightness as low as possible can extend the battery life by up to several hours. Although some mobile phones have a setting that automatically adjusts the screen brightness based on brightness, to truly save power you still have to turn it off. Just set the screen to a way you feel comfortable with. Again, setting it to the lowest setting can extend battery life by several hours.

　　3. Reduce screen timeout

　　The screen usually dims automatically after a period of 30 seconds, one minute, etc. It is most reasonable to set a reasonable timeout based on how often you light up your phone, which can save a lot of power.

　　4. Don’t forget the power saving mode

　　Many phones have a dedicated power saving mode, for example by turning off different radios, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. But this has a huge impact on system performance. It is best to turn this on when you need to save power. Some mobile phones will have a setting, such as starting automatic power saving mode when the battery is only 30% left.

　　5. Turn off phone vibration

　　Many people don’t realize that vibrating on their phone consumes a lot of power, and it’s best to turn it off if it’s not necessary.

　　6. Turn off unused radios

　　Radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS all consume battery. If you are not using Bluetooth, you should also turn off the Bluetooth headset. Be sure to turn off the GPS when not navigating.

　　7. Turn off haptic feedback

　　Many mobile phones have tactile feedback. When you press the keyboard, there will be a small vibration feedback. If you don't particularly need it, turn it off.

　　8. Restart

　　Sometimes when the phone is very crowded and various applications are open and the phone is stuck, just restart it decisively to clean up those messy background applications. Restarting occasionally is still very useful.

　　9. Turn off app notifications

　　This function will tell you what is happening behind you. Once connected to the Internet, these App notification sounds will come and go. This is very power-consuming, and many Apps have this function. Especially for iPhone, pop-up APP notifications really consume a lot of power.

　　10. Airplane mode

　　Although you can basically do nothing if you turn on airplane mode, your device will consume almost no power in this mode. Airplane mode can also be quickly turned on in the notification center. When playing large-scale stand-alone games, it is recommended to fly.

　　11. Turn off battery percentage

　　Although this won't save power, it will prevent you from always worrying about power consumption. You can turn off the battery percentage display in Settings > General > Usage.

　　12. Disable refresh of certain background applications

　　Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh, and you can decide which apps can refresh content in the background over Wi-Fi or mobile networks, or use location services. In addition to setting the settings for individual apps, you can also turn off this feature entirely.

　　13. Reduce dynamic effects

　　Turn off dynamic wallpapers and dynamic effects on Android. For Apple users, iOS 7 adds an interesting parallax effect. When you move the device, the wallpaper will shift slightly to create a 3D effect. But this may also affect battery life. You can turn it off in Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Dynamic Effects.
