Battery life remains one of the major headaches when it comes to smartphones. Battery technology has been improving, of course, but not fast enough to compensate for new technologies that drain them.
Apple iPhone 5s charging lasts longer than any previous iPhone model, but when it comes to battery life more is always better. While there is no way around having to charge your iPhone once a day, following a few tips can stretch iPhone battery life by 15 to 30 percent or even more, depending on how far you are willing to go to expand it.
The following is a list of 15 things you can do to squeeze every battery charge as much as possible;
- Lower the screen brightness as much as possible and turn off «Automatic brightness»(Settings> Wallpapers and Brightness)
- Turn off Siri «Raise to speak»(Settings> General> Siri, then turn off the Raise to speak)
- Turn off the automatic downloads of music, applications y updates (Settings> iTunes and App Store> Automatic downloads)
- Disable «Reduce movement", also called parallax effect of iOS 7 (Settings> General> Accessibility)
- Turn off vibrations, both with tone and silently (Settings> Sounds)
- Not allow the registration of frequent locations (Settings> Privacy> Location> System services, then deactivate the option Frequent locations)
- Turn off 4G / LTE (Settings> Mobile data)
- Enable WiFi when you know that you can have it, since iPhones with WiFi use much less battery than with data use.
- Still, be sure to disable WiFi when you are going to be out of coverage for an extended period of time.
- Reduce the time of «Automatic blocking »To make the screen turn off after 1 minute (Settings> General)
- Turn off the Bluetooth option when you're not using it (Open Control Center, then tap on the Bluetooth icon)
- Deactivate AirDrop when you're not using it (Open Control Center, then disable AirDrop)
- Do not allow "Background update»For applications that don't need it (Settings> General> Background update)
- Set search for new email under »Get» instead of "Push" (Settings> Mail, contacts and calendars> Get data and then deactivate Push and configure each email account Get in an interval Manual)
- Other more extreme measures are; activate airplane mode o disable mobile data.
Do you think there is any missing?
One of the most important ones is missing… Deactivate automatic time adjustment. Tb a good management of the notification center.
Brilliant ! Thanks for the input ..
Greetings.
The most important one is missing, Buy yourself a brick ... Send eggs
Fly a Nokia 3310, the battery will last you days. That is what remains to be said in the article. Turn off everything that will last you longer. what nonsense. From that list I only have 4 things disabled. The rest, then, is to lose many of the qualities of these phones. That the battery is the weak point, it is clear. But the solution is to improve them, not to disable everything.
Bear, that's the idea, that you deactivate a few things that you do not need to extend the battery ... you said it yourself, if you deactivate everything, why do you want a great phone?
On the other hand, I agree with you, personally I prefer that, for example, the battery life be advanced before all the research done to put a sapphire crystal screen, but if it were so, we would not renew terminals and they it would end the business to all companies.
If you have Jailbreak, the best is the tweak "BattSaver". Exaggerated battery life.
16. Turn off the mobile ...
I tested it and did not notice anything
Turn off 4G !!!!, okay and what do I do, I just look at the mobile screen.
Use ek 3G?
Well, there are solutions to turn off almost everything and stay only with the calls, total a nice brick in your pocket, what Apple would have to do is solve the problems before putting its items on sale such as sensors, battery, Antenna, etc. Some of them are worth a penny and on top of that they capture half of the applications because they do not make money, now Apple is only obsessed with releasing new models every 6 months even if they sell them with problems oh and of course in releasing ios so that we cannot put applications out of their iTunes that the peel is the peel
You are right, it is a company and it seeks profit, losing Jobs was losing the magic of the brand, now there are only benefits, benefits, and more benefits.
Anyway, there are 15 things that are dispensable, the ones that you deactivate are up to you, I have 6 things deactivated and another two that I play with when my battery is low and I cannot recharge.
Put the flight mode ... what good advice! So we won't be able to read your articles !!!!
Well, they do not see that the published article is "Advice" and take them as such, but it seems to them that they do not do it and continue using it as they have always used it. These are some recommendations and Carmen is thanked for taking the time to publish them. She is not to blame for our terminals being short-lived!
Because the sources from which the articles are taken are never cited?
For various reasons, in this case it is clear that the source is the sum of advice obtained on the Apple website, support forums and advice from specialists in physical stores.
Finally, remind you that the editors are also sources of our articles when they are original, like any communication professional.
Well, I have found the best to save battery …… .. Do not turn on the mobile that cost me € 700 for what the hell do they put so many things on it if the essential thing is that the battery is not improved
3G uses much more battery than 4G / LTE
Thank you very much Carmen !!! I had almost everything done but if it is true that you have added something that I was missing. Thanks again!
it also helps to wait for it to fully discharge until it shuts down and then charge it all
Very important!! It is convenient to let the battery discharge completely to ZERO, until it turns off by itself… And then leave it without charging for about 6 hours… This will RESET the battery… and then charge it to FULL 100%… it is a procedure to be done every 2 months .
