My first Android phone was the original Motorola Droid, which I purchased and loved using despite its abysmal anti-woman marketing campaign. And one of the things I loved about it was that it had an interchangeable battery. I always kept an extra charged battery on hand, and simply swapped them out when needed. It was a lot more convenient and lightweight than dragging around a heavy battery pack, and kept the phone going strong over the course of the busiest workday.
But as phone designs changed over the years, swappable batteries were abandoned by phone manufacturers to keep their phones sleeker and to accommodate wrap-around screens. Batteries are getting stronger, but phones are also getting more use. So despite advances in power technology, your phone may still run out of power before the end of the day â€" especially if your device is a year or two old.
If you’re experiencing that problem, you’ve got a few options. You can buy a new phone (unless you still like your current phone, or if your budget is limited). You might also be able to have the battery replaced, depending on which phone you have. (If you have an iPhone, it tends to be easier.)
Or you can follow these tips to help you monitor and extend the usage of your battery.
In other words, when your phone isn’t being used, many of your apps get to take a nap until you need them again.
Now, you may not want all your apps to experience Doze Mode. If you have an app that is constantly updating for your job, you may want it to continue working even when you’re not using the phone. Here’s how you do that:
Go to your phone’s settings and select “Apps & Notifications.â€
Scroll down and select “Advanced†> “Special app access†> “Battery optimization.â€
You’ll see a list of all the apps that are not optimized for Doze mode. Tape on the “Not optimized†button on top and choose “All apps.â€
Most (but not all) of your apps will be labeled “Optimizing battery use.†You can go down this list of apps and choose any app that you want to exempt from Doze Mode. When you see one that you want to exempt, tap on the name of the app and then select “Don’t optimize.â€
ENABLE ADAPTIVE BATTERY AND ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS
Two battery-saving features, Adaptive Battery and Adaptive Brightness, use AI to learn how you use your apps and screen, and adjust them to suit your habits. The idea is that your apps and display will only pull power from the battery when they are needed. You should have both turned on by default, but it never hurts to check and make sure.
TO TURN ON ADAPTIVE BATTERY:
Go to your phone’s settings and select “Battery.â€
Find and tap on “Adaptive Battery.†Enable it if it isn’t enabled already.
Something worth noting: While you can turn Adaptive Battery off (by following the same process), your phone will continue to remember what it’s learned so far â€" and there’s no way to reset the tool and start again. So if you’re experiencing issues with an app (if notifications are slow, for example) and suspect it may be Adaptive Battery causing them (because it has “learned†something that is causing the issue), the only way to start from scratch is to do a complete reset of your phone.
TO TURN ON ADAPTIVE DISPLAY:
Go to your phone’s settings and select “Display.â€
Find and tap on “Adaptive Display.†Enable it if it isn’t enabled already.
Unlike Adaptive Battery, you can reset Adaptive Display so that your phone will restart the learning process. It’s a slightly complicated series of steps; you can get full instructions here.
USE AN APP
There are several apps in the Play Store that promise to help you save battery power â€" and many of them are indeed effective. Two of the most well-known are AccuBattery and Greenify.
AccuBattery measures your battery’s use over time, and lets you look for any degradation. It can let you know when your battery is full, or let you set the battery to charge to slightly less than 100-percent (since many believe that charging a battery to 100-percent will speed up the battery’s degradation process). It will also estimate how much time you have left, depending on how you plan to use the phone.
Greenify, meanwhile, lets you force apps to hibernate (whether they want to or not), saving you from unwanted battery drain.
