How to Resolve Android Battery Drain Issues

How to Resolve Android Battery Drain Issues

Android says that it has become more energy efficient with each passing year. However, an Android device that lasts more than a day is rare. If you've ever noticed that your phone's battery drains significantly faster than usual, you'll want to take action.


As a result, we've compiled a list of methods to assist you in resolving your Android's battery drain difficulties. So, let's have a look.

1.USE ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Your phone's display uses more battery than any other physical component. So that's where you should begin. You may lower it manually or use the adaptive brightness feature, which learns your brightness habits and adjusts brightness automatically under different lighting circumstances.

On Android, you may enable adaptive brightness in the Display settings.

 

2. TURN ON DARK MODE

Aside from its aesthetic appeal, dark mode uses less power to illuminate your screen's pixels. If your phone has an OLED display, switching to dark mode will help you save battery life.

You can enable dark mode on your phone by going to the Display settings.

  

You might also want to enable dark mode in apps that support it.

3. ALWAYS DISABLE ON DISPLAY

If you have your phone's always-on display or screensaver turned on, the battery % will reduce even if you aren't using it. These things use roughly 8% to 10% of your phone's battery in a day on average. As a result, if you don't find it beneficial, it's preferable to turn it off.

Go to the Display settings and access the lock screen settings to turn off the Always-on display. Turn off the option to "Always show time and info."

 

4. ACTIVATE THE ADAPTIVE BATTERY

Adaptive Battery is a useful feature that restricts some less-used apps using on-device machine learning. It learns your habits, unlike power saver mode, to ensure that none of your favourite apps are hindered in any manner.

Adaptive Battery can be turned on under the Battery settings.

 

5. DISABLE THE VOICE ASSISTANT

You can use the Voice wake-up option to activate your phone's voice assistant. While this is useful, it can also consume a significant amount of battery life. If you don't use it frequently, it's best to turn it off.

6. CHECK THE BATTERY LIFE

The amount of power used by apps, services, and hardware components is actively tracked by your Android. This report might assist you in identifying elements that are causing your phone's battery to deplete.

To see your battery usage on Android, go to the Settings app and select Battery. Open Battery Usage from the three-dot menu.

 

7. LIMIT APPS THAT GET A LOT OF USE

After going over the battery utilisation report, you should have a decent idea of which apps are using the most juice. Some of these apps can be set to not use the battery in the background. Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Long press and open the App Info for the app you want to limit. After that, choose Battery.

  

Step 2: When prompted, tap on Background restriction and select Restrict.

 

8. KEEP BACKGROUND ACTIVITIES TO A MINIMUM

Limiting the amount of background operations is another approach to save battery life and improve performance. To do so, you must first enable Developer Options on your Android device.

Open the Settings menu on your Android and go to About phone to enable Developer options. You'll be met with a notification that says, 'You are now a developer,' if you tap the Build number seven times.

 

Return to the Settings app, select System, then select Developer options.

  

Select Background process limit from the Apps area, which is located at the bottom of the page. The number of background processes might be anywhere from zero to four.

 

9. ANIMATIONS ARE DISABLED

These days, most Android phone skins include animations. While these animations are appealing to the eye, they might drain your phone's battery. To save battery life, try turning them off completely.

On Android, navigate to System in the Settings app. Open Developer settings, scroll down, and disable the animations for Window, Transition, and Animator.

 

10. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR ANDROID UP TO DATE

Android updates can add a slew of new features and enhance your phone's battery life. As a result, keeping your phone up to date is always beneficial.

Aside from that, you should update your phone's apps on a regular basis. It's not uncommon for an app to go rogue and completely drain the battery. One approach to avoid this is to keep them updated to the most recent version.

BIDDING FAREWELL TO LOW POWER

As we've seen, Android provides a number of options for reducing battery drain without sacrificing speed. You can use the tips listed above to get the most out of your battery.
