3. Don’t Forget to Deactivate Wi-Fi After Usage

Once you finished using Wi-Fi and leaving the spot, do not forget to turn off the Wi-Fi connection. This is one of the causes of smartphone batteries can run out quickly.

 

The smartphone will continuously try to find a Wi-Fi connection in order to connect. Because of this, it consumes the phone battery and drain it unconsciously.

4. Ensure to Turn Off Your GPS Off After Usage

In the past, there was no such thing as a GPS feature. So when we want to travel somewhere, we have to first look at the map or ask people around which way to go. Now, with an internet connection, GPS and a map, we can go anywhere without fear of getting lost.

If you really need it, turning on the GPS is a must. But once you’ve finished, it would be nice to turn it off. Continuous usage of GPS can make the battery run out quickly. Especially if there are many applications that use the GPS feature, the faster the battery will be consumed.

5. Don’t Use Camera Too Often

All cellphones sold today are equipped with a camera. With the developing new technology of smartphone, the camera is also getting more advance. With a large megapixels, it consume more battery than the old phone’s camera.

6. Ensure to Turn Off Bluetooth After Usage

When there is no such thing as internet, the process of exchanging data on mobile phones uses a feature called infrared. As the times progressed, the infrared feature was abandoned and switched to Bluetooth. With Bluetooth, cellphones do not need to be placed and left on the table, parallel to other cellphones.

The use of Bluetooth is now not so popular for data transfer because there is already such a thing as the internet. But there are other uses of Bluetooth, for example to connect a headset or earphones. If it’s not in use, just turn off Bluetooth to save your phone battery. In most of the case, people tend to forget to disable the Bluetooth and continue to activate it without any use.

7. Always Close Applications After Usage

Smartphones can be used for multitasking. While doing one thing, we can part-time doing other things. For example, looking at social media while listening to music. So many applications that can be opened does make us not have to wait anymore when opening the application from the beginning. But this can have an impact on the smartphone battery draining quickly.

8. Reduce Mobile Data Usage in a Bad Signal Place

One more thing that can affect the durability of the battery. And that is a signal. The stronger and more stable your signal, then your smartphone will be able to last for a long time without needing to be charged frequently. But if your signal is poor, unstable, or even no signal at all, then the battery will drain easily.

 

This is because, as long as the signal is bad, unstable, and there is no signal, the smartphone will continue to work to find a signal. The longer you don’t get a strong and stable signal, the longer and harder the smartphone will work to find a signal. The compensation is that the battery runs out and will be drained out.

9. Maybe It is Time to Change to a New Phone

Have checked all the above things to save phone battery but still can’t find what is causing the smartphone battery to drain quickly? Whether you forget or not, you are aware that the age of the smartphone also affects the strength of the battery. The older the smartphone and the battery, the more its ability will decline.

Increasingly here, many applications are popping up and updates that are quite draining of battery power. Those who use old smartphones and especially batteries that have never been replaced, the ability of the battery is definitely not as strong as it used to be. Wanting to use the battery saver application will also not help much.
