Cell Phone Battery Life

You have a powerful new smartphone full of features, but the battery lasts for only a few hours a day. Battery life depends on the usage of your phone, the applications you run, whether or not you have Wi Fi , bluetooth and other similar features activated, power saver settings and even the graphics and pictures that you display on your phone as screensavers and backgrounds.   It should also be noted that  poor cell coverage forces your phone to work harder to latch on to a strong enough signal, which inevitably increases the demands on the battery.  To get more out of the battery life of you cell phone, you can do the following:

• Enable Power saver settings
• Turn off GPS, NFC, LTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth services when not required
• Close apps when you are finished with them instead of having them running unnecessarily in the back ground
• Put in Airplane mode if you don't immediately need data and voice calls
• Use darker or less colourful backgrounds
• Reduce time out period
