Techno.id – Smartphone batteries have come a long way since the first smartphone appeared. It’s just that as the features embedded in smartphones continue to develop, smartphones must be multifunctional, as a navigator, running a camera, and a tool for surfing social media.
Apart from that, the smartphone battery also has to supply power to run Wi-Fi, cellular data, GPS, video streaming, widgets, and so on, which in fact, some of these functions are very energy-hungry.
However, Android smartphones allow you to adjust battery usage to a level that is not possible on an iPhone. Here are ways you can extend the battery life of your Android phone with several settings.
1. Check which apps are consuming battery

On all versions of Android, press Settings > Device > Battery or Settings > Power > Battery Usage to see a list of all apps and how much battery power they use. If apps you don’t use often seem to consume a disproportionate amount of power, consider uninstalling them.
2. Uninstall the app

Remove apps you don’t use from a menu by going to Settings > Apps > All. Tap each app and press Uninstall to delete it and all the data it has created.
3. Remove unnecessary widgets from the home screen

Many Android apps, including social networks, weather apps, and news apps, come with widgets that are easy to install on the home screen for real-time updates. However, widgets are a battery drain due to their constant synchronization with power-sucking animations. If you don’t need a permanent window to your Facebook news feed or regular weather updates, delete useless widgets by pressing and holding them, then dragging them to the trash icon.
4. Turn off notifications

Getting real-time updates about apps may be useful for things like email or social networking, but many apps automatically ask for permission to send notifications, which isn’t very useful.
Turn off notifications by heading to Settings > Apps, then visit the less necessary apps and uncheck “Show notifications.”
5. Minimize app sync

Another alternative is to keep app notifications on but reduce how often the app syncs and checks for changes such as new messages. Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync to do it manually for each app, or turn off automatic sync in the same menu.
