How To Increase Your battery life using simple apps

How To Increase Your battery life using 

simple apps

Many Android phone users would be happy to make it through a single day, hoping that a nightly recharge is sufficient.

Sadly, it sometimes isn't. A number of factors have conspired to reduce gadget endurance over the past several years. Thinner designs with less room for batteries, larger and brighter screens, faster quad-core processors, more software that runs in the background, and power-hungry GPS radios all share responsibility. The move from 3G to 4G networks a few years ago—particularly of the LTE variety—has also taken its toll.

But there's much more to poor battery life results than that. Fortunately, there's plenty you can do to stem the flow of juice from your Android device.

Pixel Filter

This app Decrease screen brightness below minimum level, by turning off individual pixels. This way the screen contrast is kept at the same level.

Save battery on newer AMOLED screens - they will turn off black pixels completely. Especially good for 4K screens - disable all those pixels you don't need!

Includes screen pattern editor and light sensor support for turning filter off automatically.

Screen pattern is shifted each 5 minutes to prevent uneven pixel wearout.

Greenify

Never should your phone or tablet become slower and battery hungrier after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your device can run almost as smoothly and lastingly as it did the first day you had it!

Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in a unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground, similar to iOS apps!

Hibernation Manager

Android devices are designed to work all the time, even when you do not use them! Hibernation Manager helps you to save battery when you do not use your device. When the screen goes off, it hibernates your processor (CPU), settings and even applications to save your battery power.

CPU hibernation (for root users)
CPU hibernation automatically sets CPU (processor) to the lowest possible frequency and voltage which ensures huge battery savings.
CPU “The brain of your device” constantly computes many demanding tasks. For example: updating widgets, checking for software updates etc. This computing power drains a lot of battery and is used when you do not need it. That is why CPU frequency needs to be lowered when the screen is OFF.

Settings hibernation
Choose which settings will be automatically disabled (hibernated) when your screen is OFF and enabled when your screen is ON.
If you hate frequently changing your settings or you just want to save more battery, this option is suitable for you. It is better to have enabled hibernation for all settings, because this mode will automatically hibernate only currently active settings.
You can apply settings hibernation to: wifi, mobile data (APN), bluetooth (BT)

Applications hibernation
Choose which battery-draining apps will be disabled (hibernated) when the screen is OFF.
Some of your installed apps are constantly performing some battery-draining tasks in background. For example: social app updates your status and checks for the new messages. If you hibernate this app, it stops all tasks running in background (services) which causes extreme battery savings. The hibernation is more effective than task killer or any other memory cleaner.

Battery Widget
Battery widget allows you to control Hibernation Manager right from your home screen.

Warning: If you have problems with some of hibernated apps, disable particular hibernation and restart particular app.

Some more tips

See what's sucking the most juice. Navigate to Settings > Battery to see an organized breakdown of what's consuming your phone's battery. Applications and features will display in a descending list of battery hogs. If you see an application you barely use or a feature you never use, you'll want to uninstall the app or turn off the feature.

Reduce email, Twitter, and Facebook polling. Set your various messaging apps to "manual" for the polling or refresh frequency, just as a test, and you'll instantly extend your device's battery life by a significant amount. Once you see what a difference that makes, try re-enabling just the most important ones, and possibly reducing their polling frequency in the process.

Turn unnecessary hardware radios off. It's great that today's phones have LTE, NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, but do you really need all five activated 24 hours per day? Android keeps location-based apps resident in the background, and the constant drain on your battery will become noticeable, fast. If your phone has a power control widget, you can use it to quickly turn on/off GPS (the largest power drain), NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LTE. On stock Android, swipe down to bring up the Notification bar, and then tap the icon on the top right corner.
