The main problem found in most smartphones is the limited battery life. When making excessive use of these devices is difficult for us battery last a day on one charge, and for this reason we will tell you how to optimize the battery life of our Android to not run out of battery on full use of our device.
Then we will see a series of tips and tricks to make the most of our Android battery that can be made ​​with the options found in most Android devices just outside the factory.

Reduce the brightness of the screen and standby time

The screen is what consumes most of our Android battery. To reduce their consumption can reduce their brightness to the minimum or at least have enabled the automatic brightness. It is advisable to have a very high brightness when the phone is not connected to the charger or when the weather conditions require.
We can also put a shorter waiting time for the phone not long time to turn off the screen since the last time that we touch. Here and the time depends on each person, most phones default is 1 minute, but less time we try to see if we are not off the screen while you're reading something.

Disables the connections are not using

Always try to have activated the connections that we are using at the time. If we are not making use of WiFi, Bluetooth,GPS or 3G is better to have them off , because if not we will be consuming battery nonsense.
The GPS activated but this configuration is actually activated and begin to consume battery when an application wants to know our exact position, as Google Maps or Foursquare, showing in the status bar iconGPS searching for signal. If we are not interested at that time to know our exact geolocation is better offGPS .
The WiFi also helps to know our position more accurately than using only the mobile networks. No need to be connected to a network, only to have it activated to search for WiFi networks for making near our position by triangulation. If we deactivate it and we are using applications that require our position as Google Latitude, the position will not get very precise.

Synchronization configured applications

The continuous synchronization of our applications to the Internet is another of the things that can reduce our battery. Many applications check periodically to see if there is nothing new to access the application or widget view displays the updated information. In this case it is best to try to set the refresh interval time putting a larger or directly disable it, especially if there are no notifications and nothing else running the application updates the data. In applications that use the Push notification system does not have this problem as cool when they know that they had received new information, are not checking all the time.

Use the Power Control widget

To facilitate the management of connections, screen brightness and synchronization of data in most Android phones are the widget Power Control , whether to add it to your desktop or integrated into the notification bar with more buttons, such as turn off the data. This widget is a quick and easy way to see that we have on and power off and on. In Settings> Accounts and sync accounts and services found that would be deactivated by removing synchronization.

Use Airplane Mode

If we are going to be for quite some time without coverage and without connection to the WiFi can turn it off all at once by activating Airplane Mode . This option is useful if you want to sleep not bother us when we have ideological or mountain or somewhere where there is very little coverage or because the phone when looking for coverage spent a lot of battery. Once turned on Airplane Mode can enableGPS if we went to outdoor sports and want to record the route. In this way the battery to last longerGPSenabled and will not leave us with half cut route.

Charge your Android whenever you can

Do not wait for the phone to show you the low battery warning, charge the battery whenever possible to prevent the phone let us thrown out, but as long as we do not put at risk the life of the battery . Avoid leaving your home with very little power if we are going to take to arrive.

Control what you eat each application

Android battery saving
If we see that the battery drains very quickly we can see that happening in the battery usage , depending on the version of Android can be found in Settings> Applications, Settings> About phone or in Settings> Battery. In older versions of Android to see the charge level we have to go to Settings> About Phone> Status.
On Using the Battery we will show a graph as has been consuming the battery and charges it has had all the time since last full charge he had, and components, services and applications they have used battery. If we see that an application has made ​​excessive use can try to set up your sync, direct stop or delete it.
If we expand the graph by clicking on it will see more details such as time as your mobile phone without a load, this time using only the battery, the time it has been loaded, the screen on the mobile has left the way savings (Active) and making use of connections, showing in addition phone signal quality color coverage.

Low battery

If we see that we are running out of battery out of the house and see that we will not charge your phone in no time we can extend the battery life by putting the screen brightness to minimum, turn off all connections, synchronization, and data off connect on 2G mobile networks . If we receive many calls we can remove the vibration. With this the battery will last us a little more.
