New App PowerMax Helps You Save Android Phone’s Battery
Upgrading to an Android smart phone from a bog-standard mobile feels like a massive step into the future.At least,that is,until you notice the lithium battery running flat after a couple of hours.Even after the initial urge to play with the phone’s bells and whistles has worn off,you’ll be lucky to get much more than 24 hours out of it.For many,needing to recharge every night is a huge disappointment.With a big screen and fast processor draining power,a smart phone’s battery does have its work cut out.That’s no reason to settle for a phone that won’t last the day.We’ve put together 10 Android battery-saving tips to help you get the most from every charge.
When there are software programs running in the background and the users are not aware of it,the process sucks away battery life.Many of us want to extend our Android smartphone’s battery life but are not comfortable going into the details.For such users,an app has been launched,named PowerMax which is created by a startup-Volt Up.”Smartphones that carry the Google Android platform can rest assured their phones will not fail them when they need them most,”said Joseph Yossi Weihs,an embedded devices engineer and head of Volt Up.”Of course we can’t make the battery last forever,but in most cases we can double battery life,which can make all the difference,especially during emergencies,”Joseph added.
The technology developed by Volt Up monitors and manages the radios of Android handsets including 2G/3G/4G,WiFi,FM,GPS and Bluetooth.The app puts these radios to sleep according to the needs of the users.The app analyses the usage patterns of the Android handset,and keeps an eye on the device if the battery is being drained faster.The user is also informed about how much mobile backup battery power is being saved and used.Google is definitely aware the Android phones are facing some battery problems.
Dump unnecessary home screen widgets and live wallpaper.Just because they’re sitting on the home screen,seemingly inactive,doesn’t mean they’re not consuming power.That goes for widgets that poll status updates in the background,as well as ones that just sit there but look pretty and animated-not to mention animated live wallpaper.Set display brightness to adjust automatically.Turning down the brightness is obvious-you’ll be surprised at how much this one helps alone.But the automatic adjustment setting is less well known.Activating it means the OS will automatically dim its display in darker environments,including seemingly well-lit indoor rooms.
When Google co-founder Larry Page was asked about the weak battery life of Android handsets,he said ideally the users should get one day’s battery life and if they were not getting it,something was wrong.He suggested it was probably due to third party apps and the way the users used them.When there are software programs running in the background and the users are not aware of it,the process sucks away battery life.In simpler terms,the users should simply turn off applications such as the GPS whenever they can.Similarly the background sync,or Twitter app,RSS apps should not be active all the time.The problem is,these are the features which bring people to Android in the first place,so they may not want to disable these apps for more battery chargers life,they would rather charge their battery.
Turn unnecessary hardware features off.It’s great that today’s phones have LTE,GPS,Wi-Fi,and Bluetooth,but do you really need all four activated 24 hours per day?Android keeps location-based apps resident in the background,and the constant drain on your battery will become noticeable,fast.Some 4G and 4G LTE smartphones let you turn off 4G mode separately,which is a good thing,since LTE consumes extra power but has yet to blanket the country.If your phone has a power control widget,you can use it to quickly turn on/off GPS,Wi-Fi,and Bluetooth,and sometimes 4G as well (depending on the phone).
