How to increase the autonomy of a smartphone on Android

Despite the large volumes of batteries that modern smartphones are equipped with, the issue of autonomy is relevant. The platform's high performance and large screen require additional battery consumption. That's what the owners think, and they're wrong. Since autonomy in Android smartphones is reduced by applications and services of the operating system

 

How to increase the autonomy of a smartphone on Android

 

The most important Langolier (battery resource eater) is the controller responsible for wireless communications. In particular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth services, which force the controller to constantly monitor nearby signals. The peculiarity of these services is that they are constantly working, even if the icons of these services are disabled in the system menu. To force disable the controller:

 

  • Go to Settings.
  • Go to the "Location" menu.
  • Select "Search for Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices".
  • Uncheck the boxes next to "Search for Wi-Fi" and "Search for Bluetooth".

 

And don't worry about your smartphone's performance on Wi-Fi networks or Bluetooth pairing. Everything will work as before. Only with the search turned off, the smartphone will stop informing the owner about wireless beacons, for example, in shopping centers. But, battery autonomy will increase by one and a half times. And this, for many users, plus half a day of work on a single battery charge.

Tricky Google and print server lower battery life

 

People rarely use the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi printing service. Or maybe never. But the server is running all the time. And it must be turned off. In the "connected devices" menu, find the "Print" item and manually disable the service. If necessary, it can always be returned to working condition.

 

Considering the fact that the owners of the Android OS are Google, it is not difficult to guess that the company constantly monitors the operation of the mobile device. As written in the menu - performs diagnostics and reads errors. In fact, Google simply monitors all user actions. To disable this tricky service, you need to:

 

  • In the settings, find the "Privacy" menu.
  • Find the item "Usage and diagnostics".
  • Perform a manual shutdown of the service.

You can also save on battery power by disabling geolocation (GPS) in installed applications. It is only necessary to logically establish which programs do not need to determine the location of the user. Toys and office applications definitely don't need navigation. But maps and weather, GPS will be needed.
