What drains your phone battery

Tags: gadgets

Poor battery life is the architectural curse of every smartphone. You've probably figured out by now that watching a Movie or playing a WOT blitz in the afternoon on mobile isn't particularly good for your remaining battery level, but there are a couple of tips to get more out of your smartphone than you think. In this article you will find everything you need.

Why is my phone draining fast

  • Unstable signal
  • extreme temperature
  • GPS - location tracking
  • Apps not optimized

Unstable signal


If your phone can't get a good cellular or Wi-Fi signal, it needs to work harder and use more power to maintain the signal so you can stay connected. This applies to both sources of weak signal and crowded networks, for example, if fifteen friends and relatives are trying to get into your home wi-fi network.

Aside from the fact that maybe getting into a country with a good LTE signal or cutting everyone else off from your home Wi-Fi, you can't rule out battery drain due to poor cellular coverage. The best option is to turn on airplane mode on your phone when you know it's about to get a bad signal. It's not a perfect solution, but you can usually connect to Wi-Fi (as long as it's not crowded with other users), so you're not completely isolated from the outside world.


Extreme temperatures


Lithium-ion batteries don't like too hot or too cold temperatures - one of the reasons why a phone that overheats while charging is a wake-up call, so keep your devices away from a cold window sill or the inside of a closed car on a hot summer day. In the worst case, your phone will simply turn off and stop working, not to mention reduced battery life.

Exposure to cold temperatures on your battery should only be temporary, with regular exposure to cold temperatures your phone can experience a permanent drop in battery performance. Because the chemicals inside your phone's battery are sensitive to temperature changes, this affects the energy available to your phone, meaning you'll have to charge more frequently.


Location Tracking

You probably already know if you've ever used Google Maps or anything like that, location tracking makes your phone work harder and consume more battery. The good news is that phones are getting better and are trackingGPS more efficiently, and both Android and iOS are improving how apps are allowed to ping to update location in the background.

Despite these improvements, it's still a problem, so turning off location tracking or limiting the apps that can use it is one way to improve battery life.


Smartphone charging

This is another area where modern phones are much better than phones of yesteryear - when it was best to drain the phone as much as possible between charges. Now small discharges are better suited to the longer life of your battery than draining it to the maximum and then fully charging it. Ideally, you want to stay within the 40-80 percent battery range as much as possible. Of course, this is not very practical, but it is the most effective way to increase battery life.

Application use


You probably don't need us to tell you that your apps are losing battery life as soon as you open them. You can find out which application is the most gluttonous: open the menu batteryvsettings Android or iOS to view the list. If a particular app is really consuming too much battery, try to find out why or see if an updated version is available.
