The biggest advantage of Android - the openness of the mobile platform - is also its biggest drawback. Because Android is so open and real multi-tasking support, it is possible that your battery power hungry apps or incorrect settings quickly empty. With a few simple steps you extend the battery life of your Android smartphone enormous.
1. Remove the Facebook app
it will be for many a difficult decision, but removing the Facebook app, you will at least ten percent of battery care. The Android app runs constantly in the background with four different services and takes about 30 megabytes in. These four services keep your phones often wake up because they constantly check if you have a new notifi. On Facebook the task of a good Android app development that are not continuously running in the background. A good alternative is the mobile web version of Facebook, which often even faster and works better than the Android app.
2. Set synchronization limits
most apps sync every fifteen minutes or hours for new data to retrieve. This can reduce and sometimes completely off by the institutions of apps to dig. The official Twitter app for example, a handful of new tweets every ten minutes to pick up. This synchronization interval is up to 4 hours to reduce. Check each app here or you can set a synchronization limit. This does not mean that you no longer receive notifications, because apps like Gmail, Twitter and Facebook support just push messages. The corresponding energy inefficient synchronization does not retrieve new content is designed specifically for you.
3. Turn off GPS, WiFi and decrease the brightness of your screen
you can save a lot of energy by GPS and wifi on. Turning off the GPS ensures that app like Facebook, Google Maps, Twitter, Foursquare, and many others not your location in the background retrieval. Enabling wifi saves, because it consumes less energy than your mobile 3G or HSDPA connection. This only applies if you actually are connected to a wireless network, because else your Android device continuously for available WiFi networks. Reducing the brightness of the screen is also a good way to save energy. The option "Auto Brightness" is the right balance between energy efficiency and screen brightness, but setting low screen brightness, the battery is more beneficial. This is because the light sensor of your Android device does not constantly have to check whether the brightness up or down.
4. Avoid automatic task killers
Task Killers had in Android 2.2 (Froyo) perhaps a useful function in the later versions of Google's Android mobile operating system adjusts the limit of background processes from scratch. This kind of task killers running, like those annoying apps that you want to disable, even in the background and thus consumes as much energy. Since Gingerbread is really no need for such a taskkiler use. With Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean have even the possibility of running apps swipe away and allows them to close. If you want to know what is running in the background, you can use the settings to apps go there and see all current running apps and optionally stop.
5. Root your smartphone and install a custom ROM and kernel
One of the finest aspects of Android is the ability to unlock your phone and rooted. By unlocking and rooting, what a Nexus device is very easy, you can get a custom ROM (software) and kernel (core operating system) installed. This gives you more setting, you're not stuck to the slow process of updating some manufacturers and you are the master of your own Android device. For example, the voltage of your device and processor speed to reduce or governor (how fast a device processor speeds activates) to adjust. If you take the step of unlocking and rooted dare to take, there is a whole new world opens Android.
