Our smartphone is doing a lot of operations, there are hundreds of processes working in background and user simply does not know about this. Moreover happy owner of a gorgeous color screen must know that bright screen spends a lot of energy. Of course, if you can to properly optimize and configure some applications, you can significantly extend the battery life on a single charge.
Let’s see how you can optimize the work of your Lumia smartphone.
All the big problems with the battery consumption of Lumia smartphone is reduced to four main reasons:
- Searching for available 3G / LTE networks;
- programms, which works permanently in background;
- Vibration for calls and operations in the menu;
- The screen brightness.
The order of the list is not accident. So can be distributed voracity smartphone in standby mode and without it. And we think, don’t need to explain, why the charge of battery has been quickly “burned” during the games.
Search for available 3G / LTE networks
You’ve probably noticed how often your smartphone is looking for signal of your mobile provider? In these moments, when your smartphone try to connect to the base station, the power consumption is increasing. In addition, even if the smartphone is in sleeping mode, some applications request data from the Internet, this is also requires connection to the 3G / LTE network.
There is energy-consuming way – to use GPRS / EDGE standard for using internet connection. Select this connection type in the system settings of your smartphone. Internet connection speed will be lower, but it will save battery power. If you have nearby access point Wi-Fi, it is better to use. Using Wi-Fi connections smart phone spends less battery power, especially within the home or office – anywhere Internet application services can apply directly to him rather than to the cellular network.
Programms, working in background
We often simply installs many programms and a games from the Windows Phone Store. As a result, it is not surprising that the battery is barely enough for half a day – applications likes to spend a lot of battery power.
But in system preferences, under “Energy savings”, you can disable all applications, working in the background, and keep track of their voracity. We strongly recommend that you leave work only the most necessary ones. Also need to disconnect the GPS because its continuous operation is needed only for navigation software.
Vibration for calls and operations in the menu
This vibration creates a lot of extra load on the battery of the device with regular use. The small motors will start after touching the screen, and they also consume battery power. The option in the
settings section “Sensor” – “vibration when using the arrow keys” will help us. Don’t forget to visit the same configuration options “notification + action”, just there you can disable the vibration of many individual applications.
Screen brightness
A controversial topic for discussion, not for nothing, we decided to take it to the end of the list. There are several reasons for this: firstly, when the Lumia is in sleep mode, the screen is almost does not spend the battery, and secondly, when the smartphone is active, it can automatically adjust the brightness, reducing power consumption. Nevertheless, you can turn off the automatic mode and optionally put the lowest brightness level.
So looks overall concept of saving battery consumption. Here are a few simple tips to help minimize the power consumption of the smartphone:
- Bluetooth, when it not in use at a particular moment, must be disabled
- Try not to use the vibration in the menu
- If necessary, turn on option “save battery”
- Sometimes you can use mode “In Flight”
- Limit the sound alerts for applications
- Limit the notifications, including on the screen of smartphone
You can extend the battery consumption, if you’ll define for yourself, which features you really need and which can be turned off.
