SMARTPHONE BATTERY WOES


With the increase of budget smartphones,especially ones like Xiaomi,Oppo,Lenovo etc., Nowadays every other hand in India has a smartphone in there pockets. Well, people today rely heavily on there smartphones,with country busy with stuffs like digital India, demonetization and stuffs, a normal person needs his phone almost all the time like for directions,chatting,photography etc.
So smartphones companies are trying to put as big battery as they can in budget to ensure at least a day of battery without charge. Budget smartphones do not come with technologies like fast charging or dash charging as in flagship phones.

So here i will give you some tips and tricks that you can use to ensure lesser battery drain.This post will have two parts.


1. For users with non-rooted phone.(google "rooted android" for better understanding)
2. For users with rooted phone.(This i`ll cover in another blog.)


For non-rooted phones


Keeping things short and simple,lets directly jump to different methods to minimize the battery drain.
1. Do not use apps for cleaning rams or making phones faster or other battery saving apps.
-Using apps like Clean Master, DU Battery Saver etc is actually draining your phone battery instead of saving it in the name of making phones faster.
Explanation is when your app is in RAM memory it can open up faster when you open it next time. Repeatedly cleaning ram puts extra load on CPU when you open an app, because if it is not in ram ,it will take cpu clock cycles to open up.
Active apps like Whatsapp, Facebook , Messenger should not be frequently killed from ram memory,reason being they will soon open up in background taking up cpu clock cycles. Extra cpu work means extra battery drain.


2. Keep screen brightness to minimum possible.
-Bigger screens of smartphones takes up hell lot of battery when brightness levels are higher than enough. Try to buy phones with OLED screens because in these screens individual pixels can shutdown to show black color.



3. Maintain better network strength.
-When mobile network strength is poor,phones tries to search for network with better strength,so takes up battery.


4. Use Greenify app.

-Although its more powerful app when your phone is rooted,but its still provide some functionalities in non-rooted phones. What it does is it hibernates selected apps and prohibits them to open in background,you can still open and use those apps.

5. Choose your apps wisely.
-Sometimes apps are poorly coded and they unnecessarily takes up resources and consume battery. Try to use those apps which gets regular bug fixes,updates.


Try one or all of these for better experience. You won`t see drastic change in battery backup but trust me it`s worth a try.
